    What If Trump Said This At Tomorrow's SOTU?

    "... What a difference a decade makes..." Full Transcript (via The LA Times): I just met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus today, which Congresswoman Sanchez is a member of -- (applause) -- to talk about this issue directly. As many of you know, during the campaign I was asked repeatedly...

    Markets are mid-range between Oct hi and Dec low... now what? KISS view.

    Joe must have found some correlation with his OBV, but the the time I heard of it and checked into, any correlation seemed to have vanished. Joe clung to his OBV stuff right up to his end... even when it seemed to no longer work. Probably tarnished his legacy a bit. But his notion of "5th...

    Markets are mid-range between Oct hi and Dec low... now what? KISS view.

    All through '18, I considered 2, most logical"wave counts". The drop into the Dec lows persuaded me to conclude that the October hi was IT, and we were now in a bear market. But that all changed when the Fed shifted from (necessary-for-our-own-good) "hawkish on rates and liquidity" to "dovish...

    Setting "Proper" stops in trend strategy?

    Stops are an art, no right answer... other than you must use them. As a general rule your entries should be near support/resistance with your stops a bit on the other side, allowing for a fake-out/overshoot buffer.

    25 Things Beyond "The Wall Or No Wall" Question

    "... Wall or no wall, there are many things that will still be true about life in “the land of the free.” Here are twenty-five of them... " Wall or no wall, Americans will still have an income tax that robs them of the fruits of their labor. Wall or no wall, Americans will still have a...

    Medieval LA

    That's true. Youth will be served, the old is replaced by the new/young. Unfortunately it's all unfair and wrong. We patriots don't give a CRAP about how the youngers want their lives to be... other than they want to impose their wants upon the rest of us and want others to pay for their...

    Cost of moving from Mutual Fund to ETF?

    Ditto. If a MF and ETF have the same investment objective, the only significant differences are that the MF will have "end of day only" fills, and be limited in their sell options. If that's not an issue for the investor's style, no significant benefit in replacing one with the other. (May be...

    Cost of moving from Mutual Fund to ETF?

    Changing broker/custodian won't incur tax if you can transfer your positions "in kind". Changing from mutual funds to ETF positions will require you to close the MF positions and open new ETFs... will incur tax as appropriate.

    This is a LOT of computer for $600... looking for a new trading rig or upgrade?

    I don't recall. Just came across it. Tiger Direct and Newegg are good places to look for used HP workstations like this. I've always bought Dell ones, but in recent years they have not had such good bargains. Another place to look is Dell Financial Services. They sell off-lease units with...

    When there is a good deal on something, usually doesn't last long.

    No. That Dell one is WAAAAYYY old.... like 10 years already.

    This is a LOT of computer for $600... looking for a new trading rig or upgrade?

    To be fair in price comparison, this is used and one generation back. "Used, quality"... is the way to go for buying a computer IMV.

    Goff's Girl

    I'm not proud. I'd do her again. :) (Ever notice how the famous, good looking, rich guys get all the best women? Why aren't the SJW/Lefties screaming about that discrimination?)

    How can I get live real time data without paying extra fees?

    As far as "free, real-time" data, doubt there is any. There is a cost for real-time data for all. Some brokers "absorb" the cost in the hope of making it up and more in commissions/fees. Last time I checked, IB waives the data fee if your account generates something like $10-$30/mo in commish.

    Constitutional Crisis: Colorado Dems Pass Bill To Eliminate Electoral College

    "They" will figure that out soon enough. Our state is already 36% Hispanic... + Denver is a sanctuary city. (Like I said, "California Mini-Me") At the present time, this new law is rather a moot point. Since the "big manipulation" by the Dems to convert Colorado from red to blue, the state...
