    Today's Rally

    Brought to you by your friends at the ECB.. announcing even more money printing and stimulus*. YEAH, STIMULUS!! * We do this because we can. We print money, create inflation, devalue our currency and the buying power of YOUR money. IOW... we confiscate your wealth/buying power for the...

    Charles Schwab lands DOJ approval to buy TD Ameritrade

    That's quite the WOW, considering he once sold out his company... then bought it back... and now this.

    Nasdaq back to all time highs.

    Before we all get suckered into celebrating the "unlimited Fed"... here's an anecdote. In Turkey from ~1983-2005, their stock market soared more than 2,000,000%! Had an investor been in on it from the very bottom and held for the entire rise... by the time they got done with the revaluation of...

    Nasdaq back to all time highs.

    Was it Greenspan who first used the term "irrational exuberance"? I think we're seeing it again.

    The debate on gun control is over

    The Constitution guarantees the right of "peaceful assembly"... for any and all issues... including protests. Rioting and looting are CRIMINAL ACTS and should be dealt with harshly, not tolerated/endured nor justified!

    The myth of letting your winners run

    So... How is it exactly that you "try" to let profits run? After all, you need to give the market some "breathing room" to contain counters and not get sucked out of the trade too soon. One tool is the "Regression Channel"... included in many charting programs. Whether the market/issue is...

    The myth of letting your winners run

    1. I disdain targets* (arbitrary, you know like your "option doubling"?)... recommend traders not use them. "Let your profits run"? Yes, if you can. Not easy. Trades should be more on the "swing" side rather than the "scalp" side. The market will give you every opportunity to turn a...

    A Nation in Crisis

    Don't many casualty insurance polices exclude "riots"? Rioting/Looting are crimes which mostly go unpunished. If we wanted to put an end to all of that BS... have the police use their automatic weapons and shoot looters... kill a few hundred of them. Wouldn't be long before future potential...

    Outlets for multiple monitor setup

    It's described as a splitter but technically it's not.... though it might work for you. For ~$20-$25 each, you could buy 2x NVS310 video cards on eBay and run 4 monitors from DP at UHD resolution if you want. No need for adapters. Adapters have their use and limits, as does daisy chaining.

    Bill Ackman Has Outgrown His Hero(Deal Breaker)

    The chart is from stock charts.com. There for anyone who wants to look. You can make any excuse you want, but the truth is that over the last 10+ years, Buffett has not outperformed the S&P. The facts man, just the facts. Ackman has dumped Birkshire... probably because he feels he can do...

    Bill Ackman Has Outgrown His Hero(Deal Breaker)

    Perhaps you should know what you're talking about before flapping your gums and calling out the big dog.... (same goes for you, "never2old")

    The democrats are scared of losing the black vote

    The Blacks and Hispanics tend to vote as a block. Considering how the rest of us are somewhere around 45-55% on candidates, capturing the "minority" vote seems to be the key to elections. And boy-oh-boy do the Dems ever pander to that! Yet the "Round mound of Rebound"... Charles Barkely...

    Bill Ackman Has Outgrown His Hero(Deal Breaker)

    BRK.B has been just an "S&P performer" for the last 10 years or so. Nothing magical about it. No great reason to dump it, but no great reason to hold it either. SPY and about 100 other funds have about the same.

    Bill Gates is the world’s most interesting man

    Ditto. I've come to see Gates in the same light I see Soros.

    Outlets for multiple monitor setup

    Probably correct. Whenever you use an "adapter" there is often the issue of "lower resolution". The easiest way to display 4 monitors is usually with 2, dual-port video cards (not expensive)... or maybe one quad-port card.

    Russia Intends to Ban All Cryptocurrencies

    Until whimsy and hopium no longer prevail, crypto currencies can be anything. After all, they have no intrinsic value and are not backed by anything... except the hopes of owners.

    Outlets for multiple monitor setup

    You don't want a "splitter" as it will display the same image on 2 monitors, but there ways to daisy chain monitors. Your "old school" is either DVI or VGA. Assuming your computer will support 3 monitors at once, look for an adapter... "DP-DVI", for example.
