    Krauthammer on Gruber and perhaps the end of obamacare

    You're mixing up the world before the ACA, the world with the ACA, and the world if the ACA is repealed. Perhaps if you could stop ranting long enough for the red mist in front of your eyes to dissipate, you might be able to find answers instead of FoxNews dogma.

    Krauthammer on Gruber and perhaps the end of obamacare

    If he pays the full cost. As I said above, that's where the ACA comes in. If he can find private insurance that is less, no one is forcing him to use the ACA.

    Krauthammer on Gruber and perhaps the end of obamacare

    Which is a subject other than what loyek posted. Going out and getting a policy "like other self-employed people" is considerably more expensive than working for someone who provides health insurance. And one doesn't just "go on" Medicaid. The fact remains that if one loses his job, he has no...

    Some ways to define a Trend.

    Actually they're not identical at all. But thousands of posts have been made with regard to trend and whether or not it exists and if it does how to determine it and how to trade it and so on and so on and so on. If the OP has some specific question, I suggest he ask it. Otherwise, trend is the...

    Krauthammer on Gruber and perhaps the end of obamacare

    You're kidding, right? But it runs for only a limited period of time. And when that time runs out, you have nothing. Instead of just reciting talking points, do a little research.

    Some ways to define a Trend.

    If determining trend direction were easy, then everybody would be able to do it. However, without indicators of some sort, few traders can. In any case, I disagree that the point of defining trend is to be able to measure it. Rather I suggest that the point of defining trend is to determine...

    Are consumers getting gouged on health-care?

    Given the way our system depends so much on for-profit insurance companies, we'd end up paying more, receiving less (or nothing at all) and waiting longer for it anyway.

    Gold, Silver, and Indexes Using Price Action

    Even tho you're trading the Q, you should also track the Naz. If so, you'll note that the Naz has quite some way to go. You won't necessarily get everything to line up for every trade, but you should at least include a self-checking mechanism.

    The Problem of 'Stupid' in Economics

    Dean Baker M.I.T. Professor Jonathan Gruber has inadvertently become a YouTube celebrity as a result of a video of him referring to the public as "stupid." The immediate point of reference was the complexity of the design of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which Gruber was describing as being...

    Gold, Silver, and Indexes Using Price Action

    If long, stay long until a reversal takes place. If out, wait to see what happens at this upper limit. If price breaks through it, take the retracement. If it doesn't, take the reversal. SOP.

    The Great American Conservative Obfuscation Disinformation Machine

    LINDSAY ABRAMS Of all the reasons one might have to support the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline (like, say, a last-minute gambit to save one’s Senate seat), arguing that it’s going to create jobs is the least sensical — because, as the State Department itself determined, it will create...

    The rich aren't paying their fair share. They're paying almost everyone's share

    Krauthammer on Gruber and perhaps the end of obamacare

    Wendell Potter Stupid Is as Stupid Does When I saw the news coverage of White House health care adviser Jonathan Gruber's remarks, in which he essentially called Americans stupid, I thought of the old saying, "With friends like that, who needs enemies?" My next thought was, who's being...

    Some ways to define a Trend.

    In short, kut is correct. However, an equally or more important consideration is whether or not the "trend" one believes one has defined is tradeable or not. Technically, you won't see the price until the transaction has been completed. Therefore, whatever you see in whatever sort of price...
