    Homeschool your kids

    There is online K-12 for free. There's the Khan Academy, also for free. Just spit balling... but instead of sending your kid to college* to be Lefty brainwashed for $50K/year... have him learn a little math and English online... Spanish and Mandarin, too. Don't you think someone so educated...

    The Herd, Vaccine and Natural Immunity Thread....

    Could be this is all malarkey to bolster our spirits (and for political posturing, of course). We won't know about "herd immunity" until the next go-round of the virus. Could be we have no more herd immunity to C19 than we do for the common cold. We'll see.

    The economics expert with no degree

    Easy to dismiss the value of an economics "degree"... even a PhD. The Fed has > 100 PhDs on salary... and they've never seen a recession "coming".

    Hedge Fund Fees

    Whatever clients will tolerate. However, client's won't keep paying high fees unless your performance for them is superior. (Clients jump into hedge funds because they think/hope? performance will be "the bomb"... but they don't stay long when they see performance is actually just...

    Obamatards: Let them hurl Molotov Cocktails or you are racist!

    Too bad the HUGE majority of alleged racism in this country is ginned-up and manufactured.... for political effect.

    Rollover costs/price differences in case of futures(forwards) on US main indices

    There is no rollover. You close out the expiring contract and initiate your position in the next contract. Buying and selling... commissions apply to each transaction. If you want 5-year exposure, better to hold SPY ETF.

    Portland getting lots of high fives for shutting down autonomous zone

    Nothing new... it's the modus opperandi of the Left... "Give us everything we want right now or we will destroy everything". And on this July 4th, we should all recognize that the Left and American DemoCraps are truly our country's "enemy within". :(

    House sends infrastructure bill to senate, trillions trillions and trillions waiting to be approved

    Blah, Blah, Blah... can't you make a logical argument?

    House sends infrastructure bill to senate, trillions trillions and trillions waiting to be approved

    You're full of CRAP, buckeroo*! Just because some "can" hedge against inflation, doesn't mean it's correct. Most people won't or don't know how. They should NOT be "required" to hedge themselves against the evils of their own government for self-preservation!! (One more naive, stupid post...

    Any Tradovate Competitors (Zero Commissions)?

    Somebody is saying Tradeovate's fee is $349/mo. You're saying $199/mo. Which is correct??

    Any Tradovate Competitors (Zero Commissions)?

    I dunno, haven't taken a survey... but I doubt many ET'ers average 35 round trips per day... and that's just the break-even cost at Tradeovate.

    Any Tradovate Competitors (Zero Commissions)?

    Hard to imagine. Sure, a broker can discount/waive commissions... but what about exchange fees?... the larger of the costs. With Tradeovate, and their $349/mo fee... you don't save a dime until you exceed 700 contracts in a month. IOW... you pay for 700 round turns whether you do that many or...

    Any Tradovate Competitors (Zero Commissions)?

    Getting greedy. I can recall when they were $199/mo. More difficult to justify their fee now.. with the volume in the indices having fallen off substantially.

    House sends infrastructure bill to senate, trillions trillions and trillions waiting to be approved

    Not exactly. To the government, may be Monopoly money... but ultimately it ends up being reflected in decreased buying power of $USD through inflation and/or currency devaluation. IOW... WE THE PEOPLE end up paying for it one way or another! That is.. the government is spending the people's...

    House sends infrastructure bill to senate, trillions trillions and trillions waiting to be approved

    Is this going to be like Odumbo's "$800B shovel-ready jobs stimulus for infrastructure to put people back to work"... when the proceeds actually went to union pension plans that supported DemoCraps??

    tesla a car company worth more than toyota.

    I hear you. Kinda like sex!

    tesla a car company worth more than toyota.

    Around here, if you had one and "mashed the gas" for a mere 3 seconds, you'd get a speeding ticket. Hardly seems worth the price. :)

    Iran's 2nd COVID wave

    Bottom Line.... we still don't know the true covid status. Too many variables.... too much "government objective spin". Not a good idea to be drawing conclusions or making policy yet... (not so's that ever stopped them.) Fauci's talking "100,000 new cases/day" in the near future. Is that...
