    Coronavirus is dead... All time high again...

    Even if the coronavirus isn't any more lethal than influenza, if wide-spread enough can have economic repercussions. Market today is saying, "no worries". We actually don't know where we currently stand with the potential for this disease. With a 14-day incubation period and "jet travel"...

    Tesla to $600. What's up with that?

    Wanna know what car brands to buy for reliability according to Scotty Kilmer, a 50+ years as a mechanic? Toyota/Lexus Honda/Acura Ford pickups/suvs Mazda Subaru Personally, I'm a fan of Japanese-made cars. I've had several. My first was a Datsun 2000, an IMSA 2-litre class champ. FWIW...

    Tesla to $600. What's up with that?

    A "baker's dozen" is 13. Yes, so I have read from news stories. So why would any analytical trader be biased in Tesla's favor? One reason could be is that they expect Tesla to be the "revolution" in automobiles and deserving of having all of their problems overlooked? I dunno.

    What scenario would you prefer ? (Return/Risk)

    None applicable. Risk/reward cannot be quantified in this manner.... "market quatified risk". In a practical sense, risk is quantified by behavior. IOW... risk should be determined by your stops/discipline. (Unless you're continuously hedged, you can't protect against "out of the blue, black...

    Tesla to $600. What's up with that?

    You are TOTALLY FULL OF CRAP! I never cited anyone's OPINION on Tesla... just referenced "news stories".

    Tesla to $600. What's up with that?

    My opinion of Tesla from reading about them is that, "they make crappy, low quality cars with lots of problems.... at too high a price and prone to crashing on auto-pilot and bursting into flame". (The Chinese have a saying... "Don't park your car next to a Tesla".) Not the kind of car I'd...

    What defines a "Professional" trader (vs Non-Professional/Amateur)?

    Question me this... What about the person who makes his living from trading his personal funds and has not filed for "Trader" status with the IRS? (This is where I'm at now in my market career... and each time I've filed the "pro-nonpro" survey, I've been granted non-pro status.) I always...

    Obama called Trump a ‘fascist’ during phone call

    Odumbo just running his mouth,. like usual. He obviously doesn't know the definition of "fascism". (Odumbo just wanted to get some publicity for "calling Trump a name".) https://www.infowars.com/obama-called-trump-a-fascist-during-phone-call-sen-kaine-says-in-new-clinton-film/

    So, no double top means buy the dip... right?

    It's BTFD until you get bludgeoned for doing so. (Of course you don't want to buy -2% down if it's going to be a 10-20% dip.) As for "double top".... it's possible recent action was the "left side" of a 2X top... a thing to keep in mind.

    Futures margin timing

    The trading day starts at 6:00PM (NY time) and ends at 5:00PM. You have to reduce your position or close it if you don't have enough margin money to hold at 5:00PM close. So... that makes for going flat @ 4:55PM and reopening at 6:00PM... new commish, of course. (If you need to adjust your...
