    Too bad this isn't a public service announcement video in America.

    Tax Advantages of Trading Futures Vs. Stocks

    "... The success rate of trading future vs stocks?..." What you're really asking about is the success of trading on leverage vs not. If you have enough size, you don't have to use leverage. If your capital is ~$140K, you can trade 1 ES with its advantages and the same risk/profit profile as...

    US Sets 2025 Target For China To Fulfill Trade Pledges

    I always suspected the Trump trade "deal" with China might be a nothingberger, but this is just a ridiculous photo op. Another Trump "I'm gonna, but not really".

    TRUMP EFFECT Closing the border with Mexico could bring the auto industry to a halt, experts say

    Might be, might not be... but unless US policy changes to "no welfare or support" for immigrants to keep them from invading, economic considerations should take a back seat to border security.

    TRUMP EFFECT Closing the border with Mexico could bring the auto industry to a halt, experts say

    Yeah, he has said a lot of "I'm gonna", but then didn't. (Not entirely his fault, but still. He IS Commander In Chief and could pull 40,000 troops out of the ME and put them on the southern border and stop ALL tresspass. Dems would whine like a bunch of little girls, of course... but they...

    Top Democrat's proposed tax on unrealized capital gains would be devastating for financial markets

    Well, you know the DemoCraps.... they want more tax on everything and they want it right now!

    No "catch"? Gotta be a catch... otherwise everybody would be doing it.

    TRUMP EFFECT Closing the border with Mexico could bring the auto industry to a halt, experts say

    I thought he meant close the border to ALL crossings. That means putting tens of thousands of troops on the border to stop everything. That's what he should have done sooner.

    TRUMP EFFECT Closing the border with Mexico could bring the auto industry to a halt, experts say

    Illegal immigration is an existential threat for America. That should be first consideration. If border security causes a few bumps and bruises, so be it.

    Mick Jagger rejects socialist healthcare, elects to have heart surgery in NYC

    Of course life expectancy is higher in Canada. Look at all the "higher risk people"* we let into our country (so they can vote DemoCrap... legally or otherwise.) I was going to use the word "dregs", but most can't help their situation... that still doesn't mean we have to or should welcome...

    Donnie Not So Presidential

    Bannon: "Trump Is Going To Go Full-Animal On His Opponents Now That The Mueller Investigation Is Over" “I have a better education than them, I'm smarter than them, I went to the best schools; they didn't.

    How do YOU decide where to place YOUR Stop?

    "Winging it" on the stop can be hazardous. You've got the idea right about placing the stop when you place the trade. That way, you've already decided how much you're willing to risk that your play is correct. The most logical play/stop is to "buy near support and place the stop just the...

    Who will pay for the world's debt mountain? It's you, dear saver.

    Doubt that. Let's say you buy a $Million worth of bonds. You don't expect to be paid back the $Million principle, you just want to collect the $30,000/yr interest? Can't rinse and repeat that too many times.

    Trading is like ...

    Proper trading is like counting cards in black jack. That is, when the "deck is in your favor, bet/bet bigger". Of course you have to know when that is. You also have to know when the market/issue is in your favor for a trade. There is lots of noise in the market, but it's not all noise...

    Who will pay for the world's debt mountain? It's you, dear saver.

    We will ALL pay for it through increased taxes, wealth taxes, confiscation, inflation, and currency debasement. The richest will still have some left over, but the rest of us will end up like Cuba and Venezuela. History shows that politicians "just can't help themselves"... they have to take...

    Will Tiger Woods make the comeback?

    Blew it yesterday. In spite of the Dane making a few long ones, Tiger missed a 6', and 2x 3' putts... cost him 3 holes. Should have put that match away. I was planning to watch so long as Tiger kept winning.

    "We're All In Trouble Confirmed" --- Wifey finally gets it

    My Pollyanna wife, who barely knows "come here from sic-'em" outside her sphere of expertise, finally understands how Colorado has become "California mini-me" and is "swirling the bowl". And we're not even the worst state... not yet, anyways. :(

    Poker player moving to trade/advise please

    Ditto. IMV... There is literally ZERO correlation of skills between poker and trading. That's not to say a good poker player can't be a good trader, but that's not a given. There is a bit of correlation between black jack card counting and trading the markets, however.
