    6 figures, closer to 7 than 8 to be fair.

    From the newbie desk: returns expectations

    Good point and yes, there are several times that I have let a stock drop to avoid taking a loss and turned the trade from day to multi weeks. Nightmare scenario, because I can't take the time pressure and also the reason I stopped swing trading as well. At this time I've mixed longer term...

    From the newbie desk: returns expectations

    At the end of your trading cycle (daily, weekly, monthly...), is your success/failure based on absolute gain (x dollars) or percentage? I ask because another thread on sizing got me thinking. I started trading spontaneously looking for an absolute return relative to my last job's income. It...

    The switch to communist economy.

    All that may be, but I think it will first come and need to be validated on terrestrial vehicles.

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

    I don't think introvert or extrovert are personality parameters that determine success in trading.

    Restaurant workers quit at record rate

    There will always be people willing to work for money, and restaurant work is one of the more accessible jobs out there. Used to be HS/college student work in the US but kids today are too lazy to work hard for 15 bucks an hour. So now it's immigrant jobs, who left the misery of their home...

    Another excellent SMB video

    Please don't take this as criticism of this particular video but rather at stock trading learning videos in general, which to me look like post game analysis full of woulda coulda shoulda's. What I'd be more interested in are just in time chart analyses hiding candlesticks, discussing...

    Spikes and Plunges at Market Open?

    As far as I know these are adjustments to prior day's after market and early morning pre market trades and, like you say, are moving too fast to join. BABA is a well known stock to gap up or down significantly after market and seems like the share price readjusts during market hours, which...

    RYZEN 2200g

    RAM is the cheapest way to upgrade your system. 16 GB is plenty enough. Next is switching to an SSD drive, next is upgrading your cpu if your mobo allows it. If not, then you need new motherboard and cpu, which may still be cheaper than a new gpu which are hoarded by crypto miners who sent...

    Undertrading vs Overtrading.. your thoughts?

    From my newbie experience I have more difficulties sizing than counting my stock trades. With 2020 behind, I had gotten used to big sizes with big returns. Then 2021 came along and I took a couple nasty falls that had me reconsider size and returns. Less 1000s, more 100s.... :rolleyes:

    Understanding China's pettiness complex

    What's that all inclusive "we"? There's no we in you. No subtly, no nuances... it's we or them. Read what you just wrote, it's stunningly simplistic and not worth arguing with you. Done.

    Understanding China's pettiness complex

    If the world went to China 30 years ago it's for a reason. If it's decided to pull out of China (by government law, thus dictatorial, anti business measures) there may be some valid reasons to do it too. But we must accept the consequences of far more expensive products on your store shelves...

    It doesn't justify your obsession over China while your forgiving responses when the US or other countries do the same.

    Understanding China's pettiness complex

    History is full of land disputes, thefts and trade. Border recognition and their inviolability is protected by UN Charter yet under constant pressure from those with separatist ambitions. The geopolitical chess game played by all powers leave a grey area of support for separatists or for...
