    Tell me why averaging down is a bad idea .

    You not only need "deep pockets", you also need a false sense of your analytical abilities and a HIGH LEVEL OF STUPID! You only average into a loser when you are convinced that YOU are right and the market is wrong (that and when you are DESPERATE "not to take a loss on this trade"). STUPID...

    Tell me why averaging down is a bad idea .

    You'll likely get away with this strategy most of the time, but the question is... How much do you lose when you get down to your "throw in the towel stop"? There is a famous picture of Paul Tudor Jones's office wall with a framed post, "Losers average into losers". Suggest you learn about...

    Are the patterns you see today in the market any different than 20 years ago?

    Mostly agree. "Things" are still the same except for the markets now being in the short term, faster and more volatile. I remember years ago somebody claiming, "to be really good at trading, you've got to be able to size-up the situation and get your trade off within 15 seconds". There is...

    Singapore is Caught in the Middle

    I've read where semiconductor demand is off and is expected to continue their decline for at least 3 more quarters... yet, the SMH is on a tear. Go figure.

    Why are markets more prone to false breakouts when it is heavily observed?

    I don't like to disagree with Morse, but both of the above posts seem to fly in the face of my "Price TA, KISS", Chapter 1.... which requires that breakouts are to be chased.

    How did you learn the intricate rules of trading Futs and Opts ?

    Nothing intricate about trading futures in the nearby contract. In options, also nothing intricate in trading the nearby. Options are basically a bet from the seller that the price won't move "__________ amount" before expiration so that they can keep all of the premium. Buyers are betting...

    Inflation - Prices are going up!

    Trump wants the Fed to cut rates partly because "there's no inflation". Anyone with half a brain and not lying to promote a political agenda knows what a crock that is. Prices are up a LOT all over, but of course the government "reworks" the inflation input items and the numbers to present...

    Trump Slams Fed's "Misguided" Tightening, Warns "Far More Costly" To Wait To Cut Rates

    IMV... Trump's not displaying "financial acumen" so much as he's displaying financial and political greed (regardless of the consequence).

    Watch the 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 hit its top speed (~215 mph)

    Can't get this video to play, but from what I've seen of camo promotions... the new Vette is a stunner of design. That and 215 MPH? top speed for "only" ~$135K makes it a super car bargain.

    The stricter the gun laws, the safer the children

    DiBlasio... he's sooooo full of himself, seems he thinks the sun sets in his ass! He's about as abrasive as taking an angle grinder to your hemorrhoids.

    Which provider allows covered calls on FUTs

    Many traders, especially beginners, are anxious to get into leverage. (Of course we all want to get rich ASAP.) Personally... long time trader that I am... I've rarely had my capital leveraged even 2:1. (Perhaps that's a major reason I'm still around?). Leverage is great when things go your...

    How does FOMC voting procedure work?

    Seems it's "each of the 12 board members has 1 vote, and the chairman has 13 votes".

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    It will end when the credibility of the Fed has been exhausted. The aftermath will be severe.

    Is This a Great Country or What

    Reminds me of the South Park episode where Mr. Garrison teaches the kids about STDs and condoms. The boys conclude... to protect themselves from the icky girls, they need to wear a condom all of the time. (Somebody has to help Timmy with his.) The girls conclude that they won't go near a boy...

    Congress Courageously Sticks US Taxpayers WIth A $6 Trillion Liability

    Ditto. Employee contributions are "after tax". To then tax (again) distributions is unconscionable. There never was any "fairness" in our Federal tax system.
