    What are the best trading ideas for an invasion in Ukraine?

    Yes, the soviets spent millions supporting communist and green parties in Europe until their fall. When soviets Russia became whatever it now is, the US figured the cold war was still on and Ukraine was one of the more likely to flip. Let's be clear, Russians don't fear the West, their...

    What are the best trading ideas for an invasion in Ukraine?

    Ukraine isn't about Putin, it's about sphere of influence. The US spent 2 decades promoting/financing democracy in Ukraine in pure cold war fashion and the ouster of their communist leader is proof it worked. Putin is in a cold war mindset, showing the world that dictatorships of the right or...

    If your car breaks down for good... What does that even mean? Sounds like life itself is a burden.

    U.S. household debt increased by $1 trillion in 2021, the most since 2007

    Again, all signs of exuberance linked to higher savings rate, asset value increase, low unemployment, greater job opportunities, higher pay... yes, Americans are incurring more debt but it's a sign of confidence.

    Fed tests digital currency without blockchain

    This is already the case in Europe where many common transactions are simple and free bank to bank transfers. And here in Singapore I rarely use cash as most everything is paid via phone app. I've said before, the days of cash transactions are numbered. The vast majority of consumers have...

    U.S. household debt increased by $1 trillion in 2021, the most since 2007

    Americans are the world's greatest consumers! Reduce consumption and half the world's economies go in recession. Freedom comes at a heavy price.

    U.S. household debt increased by $1 trillion in 2021, the most since 2007

    "households, supported by increased savings and higher incomes, seem to be handling the larger debt loads well so far, researchers said." Honestly I don't see how you can extrapolate such dire assessment from the article. I see that the economy is booming, households are willing to increase...

    From the Newbie Desk: why pick this stock?

    I see. When I look at AMZN and TSLA, for example, I consider their potential for a $500 rise, and time to get there. If equal, I'll trade the cheaper stock for greater gains. In the end it's the same logic. The 100 share logic is just practical, for speed of execution. I don't enter numbers...

    From the Newbie Desk: why pick this stock?

    I traded AMZN throughout 2020 and part of 2021. But the not unusual $200/share drops for no apparent reasons have made me weary of trading it. Heck, it dropped 1k between early November and mid January! The other issue is simple... Imagine having $100k to trade. That's 31 shares at today's...

    From the Newbie Desk: why pick this stock?

    When I started trading almost 3 years ago, I picked stocks that I was familiar with or that friends suggested I look into. I don't come from finance or accounting and reading fundamentals of a company is like trying to decipher hieroglyphics. Over these years, my portfolio hasn't changed much...

    Trade deficit in goods tops $1 trillion in 2021 for first time as U.S. gobbles up imports

    No, it's Latino. Been so for decades. That's what I'm trying to say... I'm aware that blacks perpetrate most of the violence against Asians. It makes sense because they often live in adjacent neighborhoods. Not my theory. Plenty of right wing media promoting shared values with Russia over...

    Government witch hunt

    As I said, there's a probable need for professional shorts, but a greater need to send the feds in to check their practices for malfeasance. Nikola is still on every one's mind, and is the poster child for the Citrons of the world. But there are plenty of unacceptable manipulations from those...
