    Avenatti The Slayer

    My god that's a lot of rent for a law office . unless it is a big firm. How many square feet I wonder. About the only thing we know at this point is that Avenatti seems to be a lot smarter than Trump. I suppose it boils down to not who is in handcuffs first, but who is in cuffs last. We...

    Why Was Trump’s Tax Cut a Fizzle?

    Thanks. That all makes sense now. I admit I did not read the article as carefully as I should have. It is a good article.

    Why Was Trump’s Tax Cut a Fizzle?

    I believe the analysis is correct. And we shouldn't have to wait for the actual result to know what the main results should be. Nevertheless, I don't think we would see much effect yet. It may be too soon to use the word "Fizzle." Don't we have to wait until after this April for the features...

    Soros

    Good. It is important to strike back against the sort of dangerous tactic facebook apparently adopted. That they did this is very easily shown to be either true or not. I trust the Times. Their reporting is highly reliable. They have made amazingly few errors of substance over the years. A...

    Soros

    I do like the fact that you're trying to think critically rather than merely responding blindly to all sorts of inflammatory retorts and dis- and mis-information, like Pavlov's dogs. Keep it up. keep learning. read and think. And continue to make your own decisions, and I assure you, you...

    What Can Zimbabwe Learn from The Venezuela Paradox ?

    In the interest of accuracy, I attributed noble motives to his wanting to reward his freedom fighters. I did nor mention motives with regard to other goals. As it turns out he rewarded freedom fighters in a way that was damaging to the country, but his motive was noble. Many mistakes in...

    What Can Zimbabwe Learn from The Venezuela Paradox ?

    It is best to think before one posts. My remarks refer to Mugabe's motives; not the wisdom nor decency of his struggle. If people put there lives on the line for you, because they believed in you and your cause, no matter how unpopular among a minority, no matter how evil others portrayed you, I...

    What Can Zimbabwe Learn from The Venezuela Paradox ?

    There are tangible parallels between Venezuela and Zimbabwe, it seems. In both cases, after nationalization of the means of production, production collapsed. When a country has its own sovereign fiat currency, it is productivity that backs the currency. If productivity collapses, for...

    Is It Time For Algorithms That Flag Potential Election Fraud? -- Please Answer Both Questions.

    What would be the point.Your example assumes something that is not true in the particular reality of the Florida vote count. So the assumed situation is not applicable to Florida's count, though you want to suggest it is. In the reality of the Florida count the additional 10K votes are not a...

    The Democrats Are the Threat to Democracy

    Are you trying to convince us he is competent to lead the DOJ. If so, if how about this guy, he looks even more qualified. :rolleyes:

    Do you think the markets will fall next week?

    it is always a good idea to bet on the highest probability event. I would think almost as probable is the second time down to go a little bit lower say 2550-2500.* What years in the markets have taught me is that these events are dictated by emotion** as much, or more so, than reason. But they...

    Carlson and Cortez agree

    If that were the Ocasio-Cortez logic it would be trivial to argue against it. The statement, as interpreted or paraphrased by Carlson, is a naked appeal to emotion. What happened is Amazon, the Company, negotiated a tax break that is nominally large, but may or may not be large compared to the...

    Similar to TOS that does not FREEZE!

    Most other platforms will be better at keeping up with live data. The ToS platform is wonderful in having many bells and whistles and has unusually wide coverage of equities, futures, options and forex. It has excellent options analysis capabilities. Its price is built into TD Ameritrade's fee...

    Is It Time For Algorithms That Flag Potential Election Fraud? -- Please Answer Both Questions.

    You are trying to suggest voter fraud. But your reasoning is flawed. You can't assume that any particular non-random sample of ballots not drawn randomly from a randomized population of all ballots will be representative of the entire population of ballots. And these additional mail in and/or...

    How a Democratic Congress can Push Back Against the Supreme Court

    If for no other reason, everyone should read it because hardly anyone, it seems, is aware of Article III, section ii in our Constitution. I alone have made note of this Article numerous time in these forums. This is one of the features that the founders used to assure that the greatest power...

    How a Democratic Congress can Push Back Against the Supreme Court

    I read it as entirely non-partisan. Did you read the entire article? The author criticizes each alternative. He leaves it up to you to decide, from your personal viewpoint, the best course of action, including doing nothing. One choice left to Congress is to do nothing.

    This is absolutely wrong, WTF is going on?

    This is on Trump. No one else. Trump is deranged. Trump loves himself, no one else. It is a feature of his mental illness. You, and the millions who fail to recognize the threat he poses to humanity are not to blame. You are and the others are the innocent weak of mind he prays on. Neither...

    How a Democratic Congress can Push Back Against the Supreme Court

    This is one of the most thoughtful editorials I have read in a long time. I urge all ET members, regardless of political persuasion, to read it. https://www.vox.com/mischiefs-of-faction/2018/11/12/18080622/democratic-congress-against-supreme-court
