    National Emergency

    Trump wouldn't be "setting precedent". Odumbo did LOTS of it! You just didn't hear Pelosi and Schumer whining about it under Obama's pen.

    AOC Celebrates "Defeat" Of World's Richest Man's "Worker Exploitation" As Amazon Abandons NY

    "... it looks like Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has taken a break from snapping dick pics to send Cuomo and de Blasio a giant middle finger..." Bravo! for both. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-02-14/bezos-pulls-out-amazon-scraps-plan-ny-hq2

    AMZN kills plans for HQ in NY due to opposition

    Yeah, Florida is looking better and better every day. (Too bad it's always so damned warm there.)

    Brainard Becomes First FOMC Member To Urge Ending Balance Sheet Unwind In 2019

    This is like what, the 10th time in the last month the Fed has jawboned dovishess? Can envision a Fed meeting... Powell asks, "Whose turn is it to go blow some dovish smoke up the market's skirt"? Smells like they're trying to assure "Dow 50,000"... maybe even 100,000! (Consequences...

    Who is the better trader - making 5% on $10mm portfolio, or making 50% on $1m portfolio?

    Asking this question reveals your naivete.

    Trump Waffling... on "the wall", on trade issues with China?

    Seems Trumpy "just wants a deal... ANY deal with China... to get this issue out of his hair". Similar on "the wall". Trump looking more and more like "big hat, no cattle". IOW... "running mouth, no backbone", sadly. He's apparently not into "playing hardball"... just talks like he's going to...

    US Pension Funds invest in crypto assets for the first time

    Smacks of desperation. Monster lawsuits in the works?

    Record 7 million are 3 months behind on their car payments

    People seem to not understand... "All debt gets accounted for (eventually)... by somebody". IOW....America has $22T in debt that is eventually going to be "settled" one way or another. Can we afford to "pay it off"? No. So, then what?

    Record 7 million are 3 months behind on their car payments

    I've never observed that.

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    That's EXACTLY what all of us traders should do. But how do we know when "the odds are in our favor"? (Trick question... I already know the answer, as do some other ETers. :)) BTW... "Counting cards" in black jack is more than just risk management... which is why the casinos "frown" upon it.

    More Californians Are Considering Fleeing The State

    Hard to imagine why more haven't defected sooner.

    In one sentence, what is your edge for 2019?

    Mostly agree, but not entirely. "Edge" is when you have an advantage over the play... like counting cards in black jack.... or front-running orders*... or insider information. There are NO legal edges in the markets for us retail screen jockeys. (Discipline and smarts are not market edges...

    Trump Waffling... on "the wall", on trade issues with China?

    Trumpy looking more and more like a big mouth but with a limp dick! What we need is another LBJ... who escalated the Vietnam War because "he had a big dick". At least, that's what he said. I dunno. :(

    Record 7 million are 3 months behind on their car payments

    Is that your view (objective analysis) or wishful thinking?

    Why does Interactive Brokers have such an enormously hard time filling market orders

    ??? If your buy limit is below the current price, how can you expect a quick fill? Or is there something I'm missing?

    This is a LOT of computer for $600... looking for a new trading rig or upgrade?

    That was a "lot of machine for the money", too.

    Give your best explanation on why a rounded top is a sign of trend dying.

    Some of that applies. But back to the OP... who "knows" about this being a "rounded top"? Odds good that neither is correct. For a possible rounded top, ref IWM from Aug-Oct.

    What Are Your Golden Rules?

    Sufficiently vague to likely be wrong.

    Virginia scandals show Dems aren’t champions of women and minorities

    The Dem elites champion themselves only. All the rest of us are to be enslaved to serve them and their power lust! The Dem/Liberal sheeple are merely stupid dumbfuck useful idiots. (Will be interesting to see what happens to them when the elites no longer need them as "useful".)

    What Are Your Golden Rules?

    Disagree. Given conditions, which a trader can learn, it's not only "OK to chase", but highly indicated and correlated.
