Well, I decided to challenge myself and day trade AMC to recoup my losses, crumb by crumb if I have to. So far, $2k up, $21k to go! It's a bit exhausting so I stop after an hour or so. Will let you know if and when I've recouped. In the meantime, CLOV climbed up 32%... ffs! I held on to...

100 years is a long time. Unless you know something we don't, I expect alternate flying methods within half that time. Once giant planes are financially viable with cattle class only passengers, we will see a proliferation of business/first class jets doing medium and long hauls in 30 to 50%...

That incident put the proverbial nail in the coffin of the Concorde program, but its woes really began when the US government took the plane's landing rights away on the account that it was too noisy. Without the London or Paris - NYC route, it was going to be difficult for this program to be...

Personality plays into which time frame suits a trader. I find that I'm far too impatient to wait 2-3 months for a swing and anything beyond that is a long term investment. On the other hand, day trading may seem like a cocaine addiction... my comfort zone is up to 5 days and longer is a...

Yeah, and after what the US did to the Concorde, I hope they have a plan to land close enough to Europe but not there...

Yes, as I've pointed out before on this forum and others, even though I'm heavily invested in Tsla, I am ambivalent towards Musk and his eccentricities and would rather he spends more time improving product quality. One major issue that concerns me is his Powerwall energy storage. I know...

As if they didn't have enough problems managing their business...

My sister in law's family is in Cairns and I spent a bit of time there working on a project with a couple companies up on the table lands. Too desolate for my taste though. I also have cousins of my godmother in the wine business in Port Macquarie, NSW and spent a couple months there to help...

Great is subjective. I've spent more than 3 months block of time in 10 different countries, from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas and visited at least another 10 on vacation or business. I'm getting to a stage in life where I'm less interested in relocating and it's a challenge to figure...

Never believed in that kind of hierarchy. Can't there be multiple great countries? China is a dictatorship and I'm not fond of the culture, but I'm very impressed with all of their achievements. I'm a fan of Europe in general for their commitment to something greater than the self. An...

Nah, in and out since I was born, back in the early 60s, consequence of divorced parents, and then a thirst for the unknown. Don't get me wrong, I love America. But today it needs tough love. Too easy to call it great and #1 when it's not, and hasn't been for years because everyone's in it...

Great civilized debate. I'm not a gold buyer and wasn't convinced to buy gold. I do own Bitcoin, strictly as a speculative investment, and wasn't convinced to hold it longer than necessary to turn a nice profit.

Yes, it's comfortable in that channel but AMZN I too big, too sophisticated with growing revenue channels to drop below 3000. As for the break up, it's a scary expensive stock... only the big boys can pull that one up. I had a dream... that AMZN announced a 10 to 1 split. And suddenly, another...

I'm with Master Pu on this one. I think AMZN will drop, perhaps at or right around 3000 before Q3 then break 3600 before year end.

American with perspectives?

Amzn is a scary stock due to its price and relative volatility. Been caught a couple times overbought that didn't make me feel very good. Also did well buying at 2400. I'd say below 3000 is a strong buy and above 3450 a strong sell.. that ought to be insightful. :D

I'm American. That I've lived half of my life outside the US doesn't make me less American.

I'd like to piggyback on that notion of entitlements that you bring up because it's something that's been bothering me for some time. I forget about how overwhelming entitlement is perceived in other countries, but while I was in the Bay Area and living in America, I came to be quite fed up...

Thanks Mickey, this thread was getting too deep for a second.
