I've seen this "relentless bid" kind of market before, but it wasn't this relentless in the past nor was it for such seemingly obvious reasons.... that is, "The Fed's got this. Nothing else matters". Great while it lasts, I guess... but I find it unnerving. We all know it's phoney-baloney...

Most/all brokers have you agree that they are "no-fault" in the event of an internet outage. You should have a phone backup, just in case.... not to mention the widsom of placing a stop-loss order when you place your trade.

Sounds ingenuous. Trump wants cheap, easy, plentiful money to bolster his image as president. (He apparently is not concerned about the harm from the fall out.... that will be somebody else's problem.)

297 Mbps? That's waayyy fast unless you subscribe to a 1 Gbps service.

You can test it for speed through "speedtest.net"

So.. what you probably have is a Comcast "gateway"? That's what I have, connection speed described above. Comcast has mostly been quite reliable over the years.

If your wireless connection is reliable, you're probably good. In my home network, the wired connect at ~120 Mbs while the wireless ~ 50-60 Mbs. One of my trading apps is on wireless and it's OK. Years back, I traded the ES on 64K modem with no problem... then again, that machine was wired...

(1) Isn't it weird that in America our flag and our culture offend so many people, but our benefits don't? (2) How can the federal government ask U.S. citizens to pay back student loans, when illegal aliens are receiving a free education? (3) Only in America are legal citizens labeled...

"... The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez and published in a Spanish newspaper. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world..." *I walked down the streets in...

Well.... that would make the next 18 months interesting.

Maybe he doesn't want a 2nd term... maybe he just wants a sky-high market so he can exit and claim, "look how great the market and America did while I was President". And when the piper comes to be paid for his mess, he'll be long gone. It will be the next guy's problem.

Is that the real issue or is it more that "smart money wasn't onboard, but now they are"?

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-05/yields-dollar-slide-trump-calls-qe4 Trump's being recklessly greedy.... willing to throw all of us under the bus just so that he can look good for 2020 election. As for Kudlow... well, we've come to expect this kind of horse shit from him! :(

Trump wants Cain because he's an advocate of cheap money. Isn't 2.5% already "cheap"?

Used to be lowering rates and money pumping were used to bring the economy/markets out of a funk. Now... same strategies to inflate the gas bag even further.

The last bounce from 12000 to 14063... isn't that the 1st quarter of 2019?

Yes. Like Mike Tyson said, "Everybody has a plan until they get hit". The above was his original quote. Heard it was since updated to "Everybody has a plan until they get smashed in the mouth". More dramatic, but same thing.

Just goes to show how vile and nasty the Left. They had "Bulldog Mueller" hounding him in every corner, digging for dirt everywhere... FOR 2 F'n YEARS! and $40 Million spent... but came up with bupkis. Still, "We're never going to let up... we've just gotta get that SOB somehow". Maxine and...

TONS of stories about "how easy it is"... until things change and they get wiped out, wondering "WTF happened"?

There you go. That's why we trade! :(
