    Chinese Social Credit Score Prevents 2.5 Million “Discredited Entities” From Buying Plane Tickets

    An advanced example of "Leftism". (American DemoCraps, Socialists, Progressives, Communists et al are Lefties in development.)

    How to Handle Loss

    What does that even mean? Who would try to "imitate someone else's drawdowns?. I mentioned the losses as examples of making bad trades because of one's bias being wrong. If someone wants to "imitate something in trading", try this. One year I went from Jan 1 to the middle of July without a...

    Chinese Social Credit Score Prevents 2.5 Million “Discredited Entities” From Buying Plane Tickets

    https://www.infowars.com/chinese-social-credit-score-prevents-2-5-million-discredited-entities-from-buying-plane-tickets/ See what "living in a surveillance state" means? Ours isn't as developed as China's, but we're working on it. :(

    How to Handle Loss

    You should NEVER have a losing "streak"* of more than a few trades. If you do, it's because either your method is not sound or your bias is wrong... that is, not the same as the market's. *Years ago I had a streak of 9 losers from BTFD in what I later recognized as a bear market. I was giving...

    12 Reasons Why Negative Rates Will Devastate The World

    You think the entire world of financial markets and its impact on many, many things.... only matters if "rates are changing and traders are delighted"?

    Fed may not have enough firepower to prevent a recession...how about "WILL NOT HAVE"

    By raising rates and working off the Fed's balance sheet, Powell was trying to build in the "reserve" to handle the next recession. Market didn't like that. Trump didn't like that. IOW... in no way can we afford to "take our medicine". So, what's the play going to be? Party like it's 1999...

    Why inflation What is inflation

    The brilliant Founders gave us that, "money is to be gold and silver coin"... so that BS money-printing inflation would never infect America. Well, it happened anyway thanks to greedy politicians and a "dumb as a box of rocks" populace who let them get away with it. You can piss-and-moan all...

    HILLARY

    Chiropractors are especially likewise supportive of Trump.... considering all of the whiplash he's inducing. :)

    US-China Trade News... Jawbone Manipulation?

    Now, Trump "sees a Xi call very soon". (rimshot) Trump's looking more and more the clown on his trade issue with China. If he isn't going to stick to his guns, perhaps he should just STFU!

    Why inflation What is inflation

    Exactly. That's why yesterday's "5 cent cigar" now costs $5. Somebody from government is always telling us "a little inflation is a good thing". BULLSHIT! Politically motivated lie. Inflation is what the government and Fed use to obfuscate the negative effects of deficit spending. Since...

    We Are No Longer A Serious Country

    Prolly yet another concession to muslims. Story the other day about how muslim Uber drivers wouldn't take the fare of a blind person with a guide dog. Apparently nothing wrong with a "guide horse", however.

    Choppy Market? "Everyone is already stopped out and it's not even 8am."

    Old wisdom was of increased volatility before a major turn. Who knows in these days of algos?? I don't like fast action. I'm no good at catching it. (I need the fast action to catch me.) :)

    Argentina chooses Left wing solution to economic problems.

    All "Left wing solutions" merely kick the can down the road and make things worse when the piper comes to be paid.

    high probability trades

    You said you're "looking into a trade that has a high probability". How do you know that?

    high probability trades

    The critical component to your trade should be... "What trade to make, where, and why"? Then risk a small amount to potentially make 3x that or more. With an option, 2 logical strategies.... #1, risk the entire premium. #2, stop out at 50% loss of the premium. Both are arbitrary plays...
