    China Compromise

    You are basically correct, but Trump has found out that he's not going to "win big" like he said and hoped. Now he just wants to cut his losses and get this trade thingy disappointment off of people's minds. There never was going to be "win-win". China has the big stick, knows it, and isn't...

    China Compromise

    Yes. Trump trumpeted, "China has been abusing America for a long time on trade... to the tune of ~1$Trillion annually.... that's not fair and I'm going to hammer out a deal and fix that". A righteous thought, I must admit. Firstly, while China does have a huge trade advantage over the US...

    Rewind Back 15 Years

    I've heard the Al Brooks name, but know nothing about his method. Is it primarily for scalping?

    China Compromise

    Likely China would be stubborn about compromising on things that are really important to them. China will make a few concessions of little importance, and Trump will celebrate victory at "getting a deal". Some more of his "big hat, no cattle".

    With S&P At All Time Highs, Trump Demands Fed Slash Rates By 1% As FOMC Meeting Begins

    "... Just in case he hadn't already made his position re: interest rates clear to the FOMC, President Trump apparently wanted to make sure policy makers know their place shortly after their two-day meeting began on Tuesday. After calling for QE4 and rate cuts earlier this month, Trump is now...

    Ocasio-Cortez: 'I Don't Care If You're Documented Or Undocumented'

    ... Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has gone full Soros, telling an audience at a Saturday town hall event in New York that America's immigration system is "completely unjust," and that a person's immigration status doesn't matter to her..."...

    Is trading really hard work?

    Wouldn't say it's the "hardest work in the world", but it takes some time and grey matter to figure out what you should be doing. It also takes great discipline to do it well... that includes "paying (close enough) attention". You'd be surprised how difficult that really is.

    Larger size possibly increase win rate?

    Not to mention the additional money pressure one might experience... and if so, reduce success rate.

    Measles Outbreak Is A Giant False Flag & A Hoax

    The Lefty DemoCraps don't care if they destroy American culture/economy or infect us all with disease. All they care is POWER. Same as all Leftism around the world. The Lefties are content with burning America to the ground so long as they get to rule over the ashes. :(

    Should Confederate War Memorials/Statues Be Abolished?

    The victors write/edit history. I have no doubt all reference to the American Civil War, slavery* (and other concerns) will one day be expunged from our history. Burn the books, destroy statues, rename streets... whatever it takes. *Of course anybody who thinks he's entitled to reparations...

    Anybody had Lasik done? It Seems Like My Eyesight Went Overnight

    Sorry to hear that. Most Lasik trades near-sighted vision for far-sighted vision.... usually requires reading glasses even when successful. Saw a story on some news program (like Dateline) where the doc who developed Lasik was now having second thoughts. Something about "cutting into a...

    Tail wagging the dog?

    What you're observing is that futures reflect price changes almost instantly, but it takes a bit of time for the trades to be reflected on the tape... makes it look like futures lead, but neither does. I don't believe there is any effective way for retail screen jockeys like us to arb this. (I...

    Trump at it again...Jaw boning crude oil.

    Is that because you'd like lower gasoline prices for your car or because it's a righteous thing for Trump to be telling other countries what to do?

    What's it like to live in Puerto Rico and trade futures and futures options contracts for a living?

    Recently read where some high profile hedge manager plans to move his operation to PR as soon as his kids graduate from college. There must be places on the island for suitable living. (??)
