    It’s a Miserable Life – Trading and Depression

    I'll take this as a friendly rhetorical question. Thanks for asking. Sold my CTAS today at 434, 6 more than planned, thanks to the trailing stop. So today was a good day. Of course the downward market trend is not good for investors but having loaded on TSLA, I'm just looking towards a bright...

    Cintas (CTAS) anyone?

    After a push to 433 last week, CTAS followed the rest of the market down the hole on Fed interest rate hike. However, it reversed quickly at 405 to close Monday at 420. Still expecting 435+ around Nov 14 (my previous post erroneously stated Dec). As a reminder, that's when they will distribute...

    Buy now, pay the mental health consequences later, report finds

    It's the ones who have no financial stress that I'd worry about. Imagine a mid career job loss during an economic meltdown with no financial stress experience! Scary

    It’s a Miserable Life – Trading and Depression

    Back to the subject at hand, trading is clearly not for everyone. Unlike many of you, I started in 2020 after a lifetime doing many other things, and came to it because I had the financial resources and the time to spend getting to know what it entails. I was lucky it was 2020. Nothing like it...

    Lithium pills don't treat depression they are meant to treat bipolar disorder. Hint (again)

    Baron's Crypto Trading Journal

    I've just gone back over the entire thread and have to say, I'm really impressed by the time and commitment everyone has made contributing to it. It's passionate and analytical, serious and less so. Baron's commitment is unwavering despite the difficult situation cryptos are in. You've got...

    It’s a Miserable Life – Trading and Depression

    I struggled with depression in my mid teens to mid 20s. Also happens to be a time I was experimenting with a number of drugs, but I think they emphasized rather than caused the depression. Anyway, by some miracle (I'm not religious) I woke up one day and -not sure if it was before or after...

    Inflation... Free money or excessive profits?

    You didn't read the article, right? It's been clearly identified that our diesel shortage and high gas prices are artificial. An election is coming and big oil wants to sway opinions any way they can. My point about greater immigration is it's the best way to increase labor competition and...

    Inflation... Free money or excessive profits?

    I'm not an economist and didn't do so well in college econ classes, but here are my thoughts. I see 3 contributors to the inflation. 1. Too much money given away as COVID relief. 2. Full employment leading to excessive salary increases, and 3. Corporate mark-ups as outline in the article I...

    The Public Shouldn't Pay for Drugs Twice

    It's in the article... "Pharmaceutical companies often reap the rewards of public spending. In fact, in the U.S, every new drug approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2019 has relied on grants from the NIH. Meanwhile, the companies sometimes turn around and charge the public exorbitant prices for...

    The Public Shouldn't Pay for Drugs Twice

    You do understand that's the point the author makes, right? That US tax dollars finance the research, that the drug is then licensed or sold to a business which then sells it on the US and other markets for high profit. So a US citizen pays for the drug twice, once through taxes, then again at...
