The UK is more capitalist than the US in some respects.

Another way in which chess is a fine preparation for / relief from trading.

On the contrary. On such important issues it is disgusting when elected and salaried so-called leaders of society renage on their moral obligation to the people to actually take policy decisions. And sometimes these will be tough and unpopular with many electors. But that's why politicians like...

Hmmmmm.... Doesn't seem like the occasional use of a referendum to decide an unimportant issue (an issue with no right answer) is quite the same thing as Athenian Democracy as such.......

Thing is, it might not just be my opinion. Is Athenian democracy again in use anywhere?

I've only read a little about it but it sounds entirely inappropriate to today's circumstances and rather cr@p for its own time.

Yes but........ Having a referendum is no substitute for not having a policy. When the politicians call a referendum we're entitled to ask what the hell we're paying them all that money for if they're not going to make decisions and then carry the can. Its like they know a decision should be...

Politicians lie and look after their own interests but even recognising that takes us no further forward. They aren't even the most despicable characters on Earth. Haven't you ever had a manager lie to you? Or spin some "opportunity" to re-locate and/or take up some additional responsibility? Or...

All politicians seek to avoid blame when in power. Avoiding blame is a good way to keep power, and that's the name of the game.

I don't see this is very radical. Historically, those on least money rented because they either couldn't afford a mortgage or couldn't afford the deposit or didn't have a secure enough income. Beyond that, employment has changed from manufacturing and male-dominated to services. The Marxist...

I actually have a feeling (based only anecdotally, no hard data) that the British public in the majority is now so fed up with Brexit that no-deal would be the winning policy in a new referendum - if conducted right now, before anything changes. Following through on this, I tend to think if...

The referendum was conducted on a national poll basis and the result was 52% for Leave but when the results were broken down into approximate MP constituencies, about 70% of constituencies returned a Leave vote. About 70%of MP's favour Remain. So we were always in for a confusing and drawn-out...

My edge comprises insistence on a simple objective set-up pattern, plus the discipline to always follow it, plus strict rick management.

Currency trading, or forex (foreign exchange) trading is all I do these days. It is possible to draw conclusions from the fundamentals of global economics - at least the factors that affect currency exchange rates, which is what forex traders are betting on. But in the absence of fresh and...

There is no reason why an individual stock price should rise more than it should fall. The market as a whole has an inherent positive buoyancy, but that's because by stock market performance is normally meant the performance of key stock market indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average...

Casino? Bookmakers? Security? Selling franchises?

No, I think its more fundamental than that. New traders often just cannot see a chart and a desired projection of price movement "upside down" so they find it very hard to sell high, buy low. Even on liquid markets and those where there's no inherent positive or negative buoyancy, like major...

Have to agree. In practice, new traders just can't do either, day-trading or shorting.

EUR/USD is in a long-term downtrend and I'm short. Yesterday's shooting star candlestick gave me hope of more price falls to come. It has made a new weekly low, just one more in a series, the EMA's show no signs of reversing and price is failing to approach the weekly high. Other EUR charts...

I know what you mean. I don't use MA crosses as an entry (or exit signal).
