    Empty storefronts are killing Neighbourhoods

    Didn't pass the walk down of vacant businesses, so my point may have been addressed later in the video... Often, when entire blocks are closing down is a sign of concerted effort by developers/bankers/politicians to redevelop a neighborhood without input from the hood, to avoid never ending...

    Restaurant workers quit at record rate

    @Relentless wants to believe that government's covid support is the reason low skilled/low pay jobs aren't being filled in the US, a tired Republican argument. Cut the free money and they will go back to their sub $10/hr jobs. There you go again with selective intervention. Your thoughts on...

    Restaurant workers quit at record rate

    Government has subsidized industries and businesses for decades, but that'sjust business. Government has been lowering taxes for corporations and wealthy individuals for decades but that's ok too, I'm sure. Corporations and smaller businesses took advantage of government covid largesses and...

    Restaurant workers quit at record rate

    Referencing my statement, if a few hundred government dollars is all it takes for large numbers of people to quit their jobs, it shows me 1. How uncommitted they are to their work and 2. How underpaid they are and 3. How confident they are about finding another job when needed. But your point...

    His point went over my head? Or is it my point that went over yours?

    Why didn’t Microsoft die?

    It's clearly very difficult to break an entrenched monopoly like Windows and its suite in businesses. Several have tried and failed. It's particularly annoying at every MS update having to ensure it doesn't push its wares on my system. But I get just as annoyed when Samsung pushes its wares...

    Why didn’t Microsoft die?

    I use the Windows operating system on my PC by necessity, but everything else is Google because it's more convenient with my android phone.

    Introvert or Extrovert, which is more likely to be successful at trading?

    The nature versus nurture argument is as old as the world and certainly unsettled. Kids are born with intro or extrovert personalities. Environment's role and the degree of impact is difficult to gauge.

    Educators who Have Zero proof they even trade (99%) - wtf?

    These trading sales sites remind me of the gym training sales sites.... all can be found for free on the web, but there are enough people who either want to feel special and treated like a person and willing to pay for someone to cater to their ego, or people who think anything free is poor...

    From the newbie desk: returns expectations

    I don't like losing money either, and the losses are commensurate with the wins in absolute value. But the worse feeling yet is when failing to capitalize on opportunities. I got caught in the AMC debacle and left with my pants down. The loss was such that I held on, hoping for anything...

    Why didn’t Microsoft die?

    I'm in the category of those who think MS exists only because of its near monopoly on desktops achieved in its early days and ongoing. They are an acquisition machine, having bought nearly 200 companies since 1987 and, clearly, the business model works. Where others go and make money, MS...

    Educators who Have Zero proof they even trade (99%) - wtf?

    And the other way around is just as valid. A good trader may not be a good educator. What you're selling Ken is yourself. Your pitch, communication style, personality.. are all more valuable than content. As a former statistician, you're probably structured and organized, believe in logical...

    From the newbie desk: returns expectations

    I think I've been putting a lot of pressure on myself to make my daily numbers, based on 2020 achievements. Since I didn't know better because I started trading in 2020, I sort of expected to do as well in 2021, despite warnings from friends who have been trading for years. My thinking was if...

    From the newbie desk: returns expectations

    No offense taken. I was on a low 6 figure income and multiplied it by 7.3. Again, lottery ticket bull market win and fully aware that this year is much more difficult. I will be happy to get 6 figure this year!

    If you'd read you'd notice that I'm the first to acknowledge riding the bull market of 2020.
