    Gee, who didn’t see this coming?

    I think the Left "gets it"... they just don't care. They will support ANYTHING, ANYBODY, ANY ATROCITY... so long as it garners a vote for their side. :(

    Is very low interest rate the norm?

    Well yeah... that IS "Lefty suffering".... which explains while so many of them were triggered to go "screaming into the night" when Hellary didn't win. :)

    Is very low interest rate the norm?

    Mythology Turkey... I took this from Wikipedia.. The following are based on yearly averages: 1960s – 1 U.S. dollar = 9 Turkish lira 1970 – 1 U.S. dollar = 11.3 Turkish lira 1975 – 1 U.S. dollar = 14.4 Turkish lira 1980 – 1 U.S. dollar = 80 Turkish lira 1985 – 1 U.S. dollar = 500 Turkish...

    Is very low interest rate the norm?

    Sad part... you could make a $$$zillion-gazillion, but when the government devalues the currency it won't matter how many dollars you have. They won't buy anything, effectively*, and you'll be bankrupt too. * Your money won't "go to zero", but it will at some point be like the Weimar...

    Is very low interest rate the norm?

    Is a "reasonable financial landscape" which constrains people to live within their means... suffering?

    Is very low interest rate the norm?

    Probably not. Too many have taken on soooooo much debt at low rates that they wouldn't be able to service their debt if rates increased much.... which would lead to defaults as far as the eye can see. Looks like we're stuck with the low rate folly. It's going to run and run and run... until...

    The legendary negative 100 bagger

    Years ago when I was in securities school to get my Series 7 license... the instructor made it a point to pound the notion into our heads... "writer, seller, short". I can still recall seeing him harp on that. In recent years there have been a few big time naked call writers who have had their...

    Looking For A Trading Computer?

    A hobbyist/enthusiast point of view. Nothing wrong with that. :)

    Why we swing for the fences

    I always heard it was because, "chicks dig the long ball".

    Signs of a squeeze

    Somebody keeps track of "stocks most shorted". They'd likely go up the most when squeezed. Might check for that.

    Kruschev's Message 60 Years Ago...

    "...The perfect recipe for the destruction of America. Do you see it happening?? A sobering reminder. Almost exactly sixty years ago since Russia's Khrushchev delivered his message to the UN; ... prediction for America. TV coverage of him banging his shoe on the podium. At that time, the word...

    The Mormon Church Amassed $100 Billion. It Was the Best-Kept Secret in the Investment World.

    Years ago I worked in an office full of Mormons. If you're having financial difficulties, the church will help you out... but not if you're a dead beat. That is, they will help out with all of your needs/food/bills... but if you're able-bodied, you're expected/required to help out yourself...

    What would you say belongs in a solid trading plan?

    You ain't gonna like this... Trading well is DIFFICULT! To succeed... 1. Learn Technical Analysis 2. Be disciplined. Those 2 thingys eliminate 95% of wannabes. KISS, as always.

    Mitt Romney!

    Could have been worse. Frank Zappa named his kids, "Dweezil" and "Moon Unit". I once knew a Myrna Nageldinger... whaddaya going to do with a name like that? :)

    Options limits to buy at bid?

    "Buy at the Bid"... "save the spread"? HOGWASH! You may have placed your limit order at the "then" Bid price, but you don't get filled until the market has moved to the point that your order has become the current Ask. If it were possible to "save the spread".... EVERYBODY would be doing it...

    Trump Derangement Syndrome

    Yes! Yes! Yes! The American DemoCraps are anti-American and truly the "enemy within". It's sad that the ~40%-ish of Americans who are die-hard Lefty supporters don't realize what they support. It's like saying, "I hate Nazis", but not realizing they support Nazism themselves.

    Bernies proposed 0.5% "stock transaction tax"

    America was intended to be a meritocracy in all aspects. The Left HATES that and uses wealth redistribution in an effort to buy votes... so that the Lefty elites can be in control and tell everyone how to live, what can be said, what to think, etc.
