    Seems like small potatoes when we're running $80B/mo trade deficit with China alone.

    11,000 Liberal Elitists want to Cull Billions from the Earth to stop "Climate Change"": Bloomberg

    Read an article years ago from a "Population Scientist" who stated that the planet could support only about 3 Billion people in a healthy way. (I, schooled in Biology... population dynamics part of that study... as well as Chemistry... closed biological system eventually succumb to...

    If you want to get rich, spend 1/10th your income on a car..and "3/16 of your income on your rent"

    Agree if you're talking about "serial leasing"... new one every 3 years. A big upside to leasing is that the cost of ownership (depreciation) and the cost of leasing is about the same for the 1st 3 years. So... you could lease one and see if you like it enough after 3 years to buy it out for...

    Dell Support Assist OS Recovery, "Reset Failed".

    Trying to install W10 via bootable flash drive... As the iso starts to burn to the flash drive, I get a "Reset Failed" error. Seems others have mentioned it also. I've brought this to the attention of 2 Dell tech support people, and all they say is "follow the instructions". Yeah, well, I...

    We’re gonna build a wall And Mexico’s gonna cut through it

    Better still, pull the military out of the ME and station them on our southern border (we're already paying those guys)....and have them secure the border with a WALL OF LEAD!! All of this pussy-footin' about the border. If they REALLY wanted to close it, they would. But apparently they don't...

    Prop 47 is California's Biggest Blunder

    Steal several/many times per day. Just be sure to offload the loot so that you're not caught with >$950 worth of stuff. What a racket! Years ago a black guy down South could get 20 years on the chain gain for stealing a pack of smokes. Today you could steal >$1MM over a year's time with no...

    Top 10 Worst Ever Trade Decisions

    Ditto, up to a point. Of course if you make "poor decisions" you're most likely to lose. Poor decisions include (1) trading without stops, and (2) trading thin markets with too much size where you cannot reasonably control losses.... not to mention the STUPID trades where it looks like "you...

    A ‘growing club’ of ‘very powerful countries’ is steering away from using the dollar

    Much like when the British Empire got "too big for its britches" and the Pound Sterling was supplanted as the world's reserve currency.... similar considerations today to the USA and the "all-mighty dollar". Not so simple as to just "replace" it.... must come up with a substitute the world will...

    Trump greeted with thunderous chorus of boos at The World Series

    Damn. That sounds just like Obama! Yeah Trump's personality is not all that presidential... even boorish... but we shouldn't lose sight of what likely would have happened to America had Trump not won.

    "Earnings Markets"....

    Historically when the markets enter the earnings period at the "top of the price range", they have a difficult time breaking out to the upside, regardless of whether earnings are good. Opposite true... when markets are at lows in the price range, markets rally even when earnings disappoint...

    The cost of not being "woke".

    You know how the rich/famous/powerful can be "full of themselves"... thinking their ego lets them get away with doing/saying anything they want.... Trump, athletes, politicians, Hollywood celebs. Not always correct... sometimes repercussions.

    The cost of not being "woke".

    Until all of this publicity, I had no idea Fisher's business was so substantial. Being so large, it's likely he's not outperforming the market for many of his clients. If you had a choice between having Fisher manage your funds and investing passively in the SP, you'd likely do as well or...

    can i get 401k contribution break on ira to 401k transfer

    Contributions to 401k are from employer-based salary reductions, no other source. 401k plans have more "generous" provisions such that it's uncommon/impossible? to transfer IRA-to-401k. (Common to transfer the other way... usually when you leave your employer.) There are dollar limits to...

    'We're building a wall in Colorado, one that really works!

    I didn't put you on ignore just yet. Wanted to see your response. "Triggered"? Hardly. No worries. If there were any doubts about your character, you've erased them for all to see.

    'We're building a wall in Colorado, one that really works!

    Been following your posts for a while. You've finally convinced me you're less than worthless. Did you serve in the military*? If not, how DARE you insult one of us who did you ingratious little FUCK!... especially when my six-figure taxes are likely paying for your EBT card so you can smoke...

    Much To My Surprise, NVS 295 Supports UHD Resolution 3840x2160

    Follow up.... While the NVS 295 and 310 will display UHD resolution for trading and many websites, they don't do well with websites that have a lot of pictures/links... like Amazon, Home Depot, Lowes (and probably your favorite porn site :D). No surprise. These cards came out before UHD...

    The Best and Worst Presidents (According to the Stock Market)

    Ring a bell with anyone? Obama? My vote for best president goes to Lincoln, of course.... but next would be Andrew Jackson, who effectively dissolved the equivalent of the US Central Bank in his time. My worst 6 presidents include 5 Lefty-DemoCraps (Obama being the #1 worst with Woodrow...
