Difficult to say. Odumbo "raised the bar" in the use/abuse of Executive Orders.... basically saying, "If Congress won't do what I want, I'll just do it myself. I've got a phone and a pen". (Didn't the SCOTUS rule against Odumbo many times.. even 9-0 on some, and he went and did what he wanted...

That's how socialism works. The hoi polloi all "equal"... so they won't be jealous of those with "more"... but everybody poor or nearly poor. All along the wealth of the country and profits from the economy scale up to the elites who govern. That has been the script all along. Too bad 50% of...

I don't consider options. They are not "KISS". Price charts show what players are actually DOING with their money. Options are an extrapolation... and to play them successfully, you always have to overcome whichever side of the spread you're playing. (Not saying it's impossible... it's just...

Your opinion, though not clear what you mean by "explode". Regardlesds, no evidence in the charts as of yet.

The market is taking it rather well, so far. However, we're still in the "speculation/uncertainty" leg of the bear market. IOW... there's not yet all that much general conviction about the downside.

"...It’s time to break the cycle. Let’s make 2019 the year we say no to the laundry list of abuses - cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable - that have been heaped upon us by the government for way too long. Let’s make 2019 the year we stop living in a state of utter...

Ditto! The ES ended about flat on the day, but there was MUCH to be made for trading it well.

Interesting notion. I currently include ETFs in my efforts.... and I don't see the need for trading commodities with their limitations (could trade a few big things like oil, I guess)... and as for the "longer time frames"... I don't believe in trading for that either. The "long term" is a...

You mean options? Like you? Oh GOD no!! :)

1. I never heard "duration trumps direction". 2. I don't believe in "targets" as a successful way to trade 3. Trading properly, an ES play is better than "50/50". Bottom Line... to avoid catastrophic loss, you must have some way to limit your downside... stops, hedge, whatever.

Do you have a request for your tombstone?

Ironic, eh? (No, I'm not Canadian.)

Jocularity aside... and as my biggest failure isn't about "knowledge and understanding"... but more akin to "inadequate discipline"... I'd suggest we all strive to be more disciplined. I hate to admit the number of times I've lamented, "I could/might have caught that if I'd been paying closer...

Thank goodness. :) It would be quite pitiful for anyone to say, "I don't care what good Trump has done, I still hate him". Hope we never see any of that! (Again, sarcasm.)

Beg your pardon, how do you mean that?? (My post was sarcasm.)

All of those things matter not. What does matter? Just one thing.. "Hate Trump".

How does that go?? He wants to be a polysci guy?? "A" students go into science. "B" students go into business. "C" students go into politics.

Ditto! This invasion/destruction is all by design. We should be "up in arms" in opposition rather than de facto endorsing it. :(

You seem to not understand the "way of the world". There has never been any "legal or moral justification" for one country to invade another....other than they "WANT their resources and believe they are strong enough to prevail in the conflict of taking them". Hitler's Germany tried to take...
