    what is ur philosophical quote in regards to investing?

    My way is to be a "market timer". Try to be in something when the market suggests I should, but be out/short when it suggests that.... via "Price TA". (I used to run a mutual fund market timing service as an RIA. Not a big fish by any means... had only about $60MM under management at peak...

    (Nani? That's Japanese slang for "huh"? I don't understand.)

    what is ur philosophical quote in regards to investing?

    Famous last words. :) (The notion of "fucking bitches" isn't consistent with "being picky", you know.)

    what is ur philosophical quote in regards to investing?

    Not a matter of "wasting time"... no need to be a day trader, glued to the screen. You could be a great investor if you knew how and sacrificed "10 minutes/day" of your sexual pursuit* time. *BTW... there are about 20 STDs out there, and it's said that 25% of population have at least one of...

    what is ur philosophical quote in regards to investing?

    Don't believe crap like this. Whoever coined it is an IDIOT! More appropriately... "Win or lose, everybody gets what they deserve out of the market".

    The BEAST has arrived, the $5Million Lamborghini CENTENARIO ROADSTER!

    So... the Bugatti Chiron (a mere $3.6MM) is now a car for pikers?

    what is ur philosophical quote in regards to investing?

    Well... if you're a bad investor/trader, yeah. :) However... in gambling, you're supposed to lose while hoping to get lucky and prevail in spite of the odds being against you. Investing/Trading... you're supposed to win. The deck is stacked in your favor. You lose only if you're bad at it.

    Anyone using indicators successfully for day trading?

    Yet lots of people swear by MACD... which is a 2nd derivative of price. Go figure. Range indicators like RSI, Stochastic, CCI, and %R have their usefulness. People who disdain them haven't taken the time to study and learn how to use properly*. (There's more to their proper use than simply...

    Supreme court upholds voter ID law, disenfranchising native Americans in ND

    Don't you suppose that they do... especially if Soros & Company slips them a few bucks?

    Study: is this the start of a bear market for stocks?

    Doesn't pay to get bearish on the market until it actually does something bearish. So far, not.

    When does a correction become a recession?

    "Correction" and "recession" are only vaguely related. Correction is a market term. Recession is an economic term. May be concurrent, but not necessarily.

    "Fauxcahontas" Op-Ed: I am a Cherokee woman. Elizabeth Warren is not...

    That's great! She makes a false claim to secure political favor... and the entire country calls BULLSHIT! Let's see how that stacks up in political "juice" against, "Kavanaugh once tossed ice on someone when he was a teenager".

    Lego, Coke and other big brands are turning to crowdfunding for R&D

    Crowd funding for corporations? How STUPID is that? Sure, good thing for corps... "if they can get it"... but who would be stupid enough to support and donate money?

    What happens to a buy market order if no one is selling?

    Oh HELL yes. You never want to be trying to make a play that is large enough so that you become the market. My rule is "no bigger than 0.5% of the average daily handle". Even that's pretty large... your play can be 1/200 of the entire market, world wide.
