    Build The Wall And Have Mexico Pay For It Indirectly?

    Illegal immigration needs to be stopped. PERIOD! Whatever it takes. Shooting them, last resort of course. But a recourse nonetheless. We can either forcefully stop them or convince them to stop invading. Whatever it takes. Of course I'd prefer to convince them to stop invading... but what...

    Build The Wall And Have Mexico Pay For It Indirectly?

    Not applicable. Not saying "murder everybody"... just the invaders. (BTW... how does killing an invader meet the definition of "murder"? Was everyone killed in a war "murdered"? Just how is killing invaders qualified as "murder"?) Kill enough of them and the potential invaders will "get the...

    Build The Wall And Have Mexico Pay For It Indirectly?

    Hogwash! "Invade" N. Korea or Iran... even if unintentional... and see what happens. When did you turn Commie? Defending sovereign borders by whatever means necessary... completely justified!

    Leftists Don't Usually Come Right Out and Say, "We Want To Enslave You All"

    Shouldn't take all that much for them to "get the message".

    A thought on marijuana...

    That's not me. I don't use the stuff. Been following a couple of ETFs to see if the biz in general is "soaring high", but so far it's only the users. :)

    Build The Wall And Have Mexico Pay For It Indirectly?

    Couldn't we simply suspend foreign aid payments to Mexico and use that money for the wall? If not, I recommend Trump man the border with our military and create a "wall of lead" for trespassers.

    Gallup: The Obamas are America's most admired man and woman

    The Lefty/Commie/DemoCrap machine tells their sheeple "Odumbo is most admired". But if the sheep actually understood Odumbo and America, he would be the most despised "person occupying space in America" of all time.

    A thought on marijuana...

    Just as the government orchestrated.... poor sucker entrepreneur takes all the risk and pays the freight while the government (in one way or another) rakes off most of the profits.

    A thought on marijuana...

    There has been hype and solicitation about "marijuana millionaires, and you'd better get on board if you want to be one". Well, so far the hype is overblown. Even with the support of bigger companies, the MJ companies have mostly languished. Suggest keeping an eye on them... on the back...

    Going long on short positions without getting burned

    I do not like options. They seem overall to be (1) more bother than they are worth for speculators, (2) a hyped vehicle to make commission money for the brokers. Everybody wants to "risk a little and hopefully, make a LOT". Options seem to offer that, but in reality do so only with outsized...

    The market is seeing something we dont see yet—

    EW is complex. My experience with it is that lots of people try, but almost nobody "does it well". I don't claim to be an EWer myself, but I recognize a few of its major premises as valid. If I were your guru, I'd suggest you forget all about EW rather than highlighting its devotees' weaknesses.

    To Help Put Recent Economic & Market Moves in Perspective

    Let me suggest... the market and the economy are not as closely tied as everybody likes to think. That is, the market leads the economy by such a long lead time, focusing on the "economy"... while trying to "catch a turn" is futile. In the "middle" of a big market move the economy may seem to...

    Probably correct.

    The market is seeing something we dont see yet—

    I can't show you an audited track record these days based upon anything let alone EW, but if I "splained" it to you, you'd go, "Hold crap. Why didn't I ever see that"? (Years ago when I was an RIA managing customers' funds, I could have.... audited track record, of course... not EW "based"...

    EW-ers, quoting themselves, or "nailing it only two times"?

    Seems like a lot of panic over such a relatively small decline

    Recalling off the top of my head... Prector is calling the upmove as the "Grand Super Cycle" high. Minimum expected decline = "prior 4th wave of lesser degree". IOW, retesting the 2009 lows at a MINIMUM. Factor THAT into your "Trend Continuation". We'll see. (Beyond my pay grade to make...

    ...best buying opportunity investors have seen in years.

    Yes. Typically in bear markets (recession) earnings estimates as well as multiples get lowered. Ideally you want to buy when they're "throwing the baby out with the bath water". We're no where near that now. This bear market, if that's what it is... is just getting started.

    The market is seeing something we dont see yet—

    I have not. Don't think I have any interest in "getting to know EW better". My limited use and understanding is useful enough for my KISS style.
