    Ann Coulter Eviscerates Trump

    Yes! I'd like to see the troops brought home from Yemem posted on the southern border... with instructions to SHOOT all tresspassers. Won't take no $5B worth of of lead to put a halt on illegal invasion!

    Hedging Futures to avoid big losses

    If your play has moved enough in your direction, you can place a trailing stop. Until then, there is still some risk and cost.

    Will the FED be taking down Trump or was this rate hike appropriate?

    Not as dangerous as the Bernanke Fed and Yellen fed leaving interest rates at zero for so long.

    What drop will bring Fed Put back?

    Screw the Fed put. I'd like to see the Fed get the Hell out of the markets! Fed "manipulation" ain't capitalism.

    Invaluable resources to your trading?

    Amazing. I've traded for years and never even heard of any of your sites except Twitter. You don't list any charting sources. Upon what do you make investing/trading decisions if you don't use the charts? They show you what players are actually doing with their money. Nothing is more...

    Fed raises rates

    It's normal for markes to take interest rate increase "with a grain of salt" up to a point... thinking that earnings can "handle and overcome" the negative effect of rates. But at some point, the markets say "no mas". As for "chaos in the markets"... beside rates, the other biggie is potential...

    Fed raises rates

    Ditto! Odumbo comes into office when the markets were waayyy down and bottoming. Then, Fed lowers rates to zero and keeps them there, Odumbo's deficits ratchet up the national debt from $9T to $20T, and the Fed takes $4T onto their balance sheet as "buyer of last resort". Talk about "wind...

    Fed raises rates

    Since when has the Fed EVER done that? We're in this hot mess because the Fed never lets things play out as they naturally would. The real problem isn't with Powell's Fed... it's with the Bernanke and Yellen years of ZIRP and the troubles that spawned. I think Powell is "stockpililng some...

    Fed raises rates

    I can imagine that raising rates now is the lesser of evils and necessary.

    Najarian Brothers... having previously exited the options biz... back again?

    Yeah, they're both kind of cheesy looking with their facial hair and pony tail(s), but I've read where they have net worth >$25MM, which ain't bad. (But so did Ron Popeil..who sold "spray-on hair in a can".)

    Najarian Brothers... having previously exited the options biz... back again?

    Hawking their book once more. (It's a freebie if you pay P&H. Very basic.) Wonder why they left? Not profitable? Wonder why they would return??

    Pope Says Western World "Has Moral Responsibility" To Let In More Migrants

    HOGWASH! "... The number of migrants the Pope himself houses in his palace is unknown... " Lemme guess... ZERO? Yet another of the "big wig privileged" pontificating (pun intended), "do as I say, not as I do". Pfffft...

    Extreme panic

    All of us traders seem to want to "nail the bottom of a big trade". Of course we do! But the reality is that most of such attempts are not successful. Personally, I like to try to "stab a bottom"*, but I ALWAYS trade with a tight stop. *I understand that's contrary to the notion of "don't...

    IB Slippage: paper vs live

    In real-time trading with real money, there is ALWAYS more slippage than you perceive from paper trading.... some from execution, but most from the trader himself. Advice... if you find somthing that appears to "work on paper/sim", trade it live for a bit but SMALL. You will learn things you...

    Extreme panic

    Axiomatic... "Don't buy stocks in a down trend".

    Tax cuts are causing a massive US debt deficit, believe it or not

    Damned straight. All and both parties guilty! I can just hear them whining..."Trump's F'n us up with this defictis". Well, what about the deficits of Odumbo... taking our national debt from $9T to $20T during his administration?.. and doing it in the worst possible way! Any bitching about that??
