    Is Motley fool subscription worth it?

    Good idea but the daily handle is very small.

    Renowned EU Scientist: COVID-19 Was Engineered In China Lab, Effective Vaccine "Unlikely"

    "...Given the many mutations of SARS-CoV-2, it is extremely unlikely that a single vaccine that blocks the virus will be found. At the moment 11 different strains have been identified: the A2a genetic line which developed in Europe and the B1 genetic line which took root in North America are...

    Scalping is risky ?

    No trading play is especially risky if you exercise stop discipline. Big Risk comes into play when you allow a play to run against you, hoping it will "reverse and save your bacon".... even worse when you "average into a losing position".

    Citibank Sent a Hedge Fund $175 million by Mistake. Now They Can’t Get it Back

    Sounds like a Monopoly game card... "Bank error in your favor... collect $175 Million and don't give it back".

    For Years They've Been Telling Us... "There's No Inflation". What A Crock!

    Or, "The Fed can't get inflation up to 2%".. Hogwash! We've had waaaay higher than 2% inflation for a long time! "...Consider that in 1985 it took 30 weeks at the median wage to pay for big fixed costs like housing, health care, a car, and education; fast forward to today when it takes a...

    Go DOWN Already. What the is going on here?! Nothing discounted?

    Ditto that. The market is the final arbiter of price. If you disagree with your counter-play, it is YOU who is wrong!

    Closing covered calls and wheres the profit?

    Tax considerations should not be an issue for any trade. The attempt to secure "long term capital gain taxation" is mostly futile and counter-productive. IOW... if you seek LTCG, you have to just "suck it up and endure" all price fluctuations... maybe ends up being profit/tax-favorable to you...

    Does technical analysis work better on low liquidity or high liquidity Forex pairs?

    Proper "Price TA" works in all markets and all time frames... which is why it's so damned valuable to learn and understand! If liquidity is low and volatility is high, Price TA still works as usual... it's just that execution is more difficult as prices are more "jumpy".

    Trump relates conversation with God about his 'great job' on economy: I'm only one that could do it

    Trump likes to think "it's him". It's really the Fed, wrong as it is. :(

    Advise me on computer memory

    Something incongruous about this. Look to software malfunction for the cause.

    Why is the media saying Kamala the dog is making history?

    Precedent. Remember Obama?

    Advise me on computer memory

    When the message is being displayed, check your Task Manager to see how much memory is actually being used. Problems like this are usually due to a software malfunction. Did you recently install new software/utility/app or do an update/upgrade of any software?

    Proof that free money is propping up markets...Walmart being a prime example

    It's not good. Inflation and currency destruction (aka "covert government theft from all citizens") are the covers for government deficit spending.... that's why the government and the Fed want it. :(

    Closing covered calls and wheres the profit?

    You could close it before expiration. You'd pay the premium price and the commission. Your profit would then be the initial premium you collected minus the "premium you paid to close"... which could leave you in a net losing position on the option play if the underlying were far enough ITM...

    We Are In The Process Of Completely Losing America-- Michael Snyder

    Isn't that wonderful.... CNN and other MSM running on that. (Reminds me of Goebbels, "Ministry of Truth".)

    Closing covered calls and wheres the profit?

    You wouldn't normally "buy to close" a covered call. Just let it expire worthless and keep the premium.... which would be your maximum profit on the trade.

    SpaceX raises $1.9 billion in funding

    Amazing. Musk has become the 4th richest person in the world... from government subsidies while making cars of marginal/poor(?) quality. All from delusional visions of environmental green-ness... paid for by brain-dead tax payers. America... what a country! :(

    Proof that free money is propping up markets...Walmart being a prime example

    "The economy" gets by/thrives... so long as the government/fed prints money and gives it to people to spend. DUH! Is that how America is going to "work" into the future? (Hell... I could enjoy steak and lobster twice a week if the government just gave me the money to buy it!) (Hint.... Has...

    Home owner's policy is a joke

    I used to have Liberty Mutual for HO insurance. Several years ago, we had a big hail storm.... lots of roof damage in the area. I called Liberty about getting my roof inspected. They sent out somebody to check it out and reported everything was OK. They recorded the roof inspection as a...
