    Why the fed must keep cutting. Funny monday article

    "...The gamble is that companies will use the breathing space to get their houses in order..." Fade that. And if you've got a mountain of debt that you cannot possibly repay... just what would "getting your house in order" be?

    Chicago Is Rigging Red Light Cameras To Rack Up Millions In Fines

    Just another example of the ruling elite viewing the people as mere tax donkeys and here to provide, support, and service their privileged lives. A couple of years back, Denver got similar flack for making the yellow lights shorter. While that caught more "red light" violations, it also cause...

    Trading Pot Stocks? CGC TLRY CRON etc Up, finally

    I've been surprised at the performance of pot stocks, and I doubt national legalization will turn pot into a "rocket sector". Though pot will be available "everywhere", it will be a commodity which will eventually settle-in to being a high volume business but on low margins... not an ideal...

    Bridgewater Bets $1.5 billion on Upcoming Market Drop

    Bridgewater Bets $1.5 billion on Upcoming Market Drop

    Likely so, though $300MM or $100B sounds like a lot to us pauper retail screen jockeys.

    How Fast Should You Trade?

    Suggest, "10% is too much" for most traders. An old rule of thumb was to not trade more than 2% of the handle. That's likely too large at crunch time. You'd be 1/50th of the entire world market. Perhaps trade larger, more liquid stocks? I like the notion of not trading more than 0.5% of the...

    Most successful profitable day trader?

    With a golf analogy, perhaps the objective shouldn't be to "beat Tiger Woods" but rather find a way to play consistently a couple under par.

    Odds Hong Kong becomes sacrificial lamb in trade deal?

    I'm surprised Congress passed such a bill. Sure, ideologically looks great... endorsing American values and all. But it could be a big mistake. China cannot back down on HK now without "losing face" as the "big dog, making the rules". If HK doesn't voluntarily fade away CCP has no...

    Free At Last

    He's describing the America the Founders envisioned for us and tried to preserve with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This clip should be running often as a Public Service Announcement. Whaddaya think the chances are?

    How similar is a sim to live trading?

    Bottom Line on sim.... 1. Use sim to explore your conceived "process" to trading and making money. 2. Sim is most useful at revealing what DOESN'T work. 3. If you have a process that appears to work on sim, you can trade live with real money but you should start SMALL. (Real-money trading...

    Hedge fund Ardevora to shut trading desk and outsource execution to Northern Trust

    I'd say, 100%... if they think they might get away with it. (Sometimes if you steal only a little bit at a time, it goes unnoticed.)

    China's brutal detention regime revealed in leaked documents

    So, the muslims were there first but now the Chinese want to get rid of them?

    China's brutal detention regime revealed in leaked documents

    If the Chinese object to having Muslims in their country, why did they let them in at all?

    Even Obama thinks the leftards need to tone it down a bit........

    Dick Morris noted, "When Dems lose a big election... especially one they thought they were going to win... they go soooooooo far left and off-the-rails that they can't win another election for 20 years... until they moderate more back towards the middle". We'll see.
