    Republicans put out pro-impeachment ad

    Of course not. "A" students go into science/medicine. "B" students to into business. "C" students go into politics. Only the most egregiously greedy and power hungry in politics lie enough to get elected. (Ain't rocket science, but isn't it amazing how American politics seem to elect the...

    Explainer: The Fed wants ideas on how to target inflation

    How to target inflation... STOP PRINTING MONEY!!!

    Dell T5400 still usable?

    My Dell T3500s have a PSU with a modular connection. I don't know how generic or proprietary it is, there there are many new and used eBay for $60/$30-ish. Easy to replace. I suspect there's something similar available for the T5400. A primary advantage to getting a Dell replacement is that...

    Dell T5400 still usable?

    If you can run W10 on your T5400, you're good until the hardware breaks down (should you care to use it that long). Look for used PSU on ebay.

    Donald

    Hope so. Then Colorado Lefties would have to cast their EC votes for Trump even though the state went DemoCrap/Commie. Wouldn't that be special? (I can just imagine the wailing and screaming... :))

    So It Turns Out Mexico Will Pay For The Wall...

    Should have done this sooner. Perhaps even start higher than 5%.... build a bit of a fire under their asses!

    Poker-Playing Hedge Fund Managers Have an Edge (Bloomberg)

    Ditto. I played poker for years, and I see ZERO correlation with trading.

    25% tariff on goods coming in from Mexico announced

    Tariffs imposed upon Mexico for not stopping illegal immigration from their side seems like a good idea.... perhaps even brilliant.... considering what Trump has to work with on our side of the border.

    “There are no principles — not ethical, moral, legal, constitutional, religious, spiritual — NONE.

    “There are no principles — not ethical, moral, legal, constitutional, religious, spiritual — NONE. There’s only power.” Actor Jeffrey Wright on Wednesday appeared to warn that when the political left in America “get the power” back from Republicans, “everybody else” should “fucking duck.”...

    So... you're saying you're a Lefty? Ewwwww!

    Is Kim Jong Un The Most Powerful Man In The World Right Now?

    Did Trump's "tax overhaul" result in lower receipts to the treasury? I didn't pay attention to that, as I could see that my tax "cut" would in fact be an increase. (Trump said, "somebody's got to pay for it".) Seemed to me that the tax cuts were more like "rearranging the deck chairs on the...

    A charity auction to have lunch with Warren Buffett has hit a record before it is even over.

    If you want to contribute to a charity, good on you! But if you're paying a high price for Buffett's advice, should be advised he hasn't even kept up with the S&P 500 over the last 10 years, let alone outperformed. (Brk.A has underperformed the SPY by ~ 25% since the '09, low.)

    Dow "Possible 3x Top"... potentially a big deal

    If only. That would be a Bonanza for traders... so it probably won't happen. :)

    Is Kim Jong Un The Most Powerful Man In The World Right Now?

    China doesn't have to give Trump "squat". All Xi needs to do is delay and outlast Trump. Trumpy wants/(needs) a BIG trade concession... quickly. (Election coming up, you know.) Doubt he will get it. In the end, Trump will have to settle for a whimpy, "fringe around the edges" agreement just...

    Trump spreads fake news about Pelosi

    Only "dozens"? You're more tolerant than I. My ignore list is in the "hundreds".

    Dow "Possible 3x Top"... potentially a big deal

    Any significant advance in the makets will take out this "triple top" formation. Any significant decline will take out the December low. All else between is just noise, but large enough range to be traded for the astute. Major error to hold/add on the wrong side of these important levels...

    Difference between newbie struggling trader vs successful trader

    Ditto. Unfortunately there is a lot of time wasted and teeth gnashing on the strict definition of "predicting" the market.

    Difference between newbie struggling trader vs successful trader

    Yes! An aspiring trader needs to... 1. Develop a "process"... understand what you should do and why. This takes a while. Lots of trial and error. When it looks like you've got something... practice on sim or with small money to refine. 2. Then execute the process with discipline.

    Begging For Help: NM Gov Changing Her Tune On Immigration "Crisis"
