New trade opened today in $SAIC

Crazy how a 40% increase in money supply over the last 18 months has lead to more than "transitionary inflation"... who would of thought..

Capitalism is a bit like capture the white flag, those who reach the top rarely stay there as someone more hungry always comes along..

Three trades were closed today, $DAL $YELP and $TTEC for a total net profit of $824. Orders for new positions weren't hit today and there isn't many oversold stocks in the market right now, although I've entered in some more orders to open new positions if they dip in tomorrow's session.

Not claiming to be an expert on El Salvador Bitcoin stuff, just my opinion it's an abnormality in a bubble and time will tell if the USA and other western countries follow El Salvador in their steps..

A tiny corrupt country of 6 million people being told to use bitcoin by their government is hardly an endorsement. Lot's of people there protesting it and burning down bitcoin ATMs, it doesn't benefit the average joe using a medium of exchange that pops and drops 20-40% in value in a month, but...

I think he's gone off the rails a bit with this whole bitcoin thing, look at him now compared to when he was a normalish CEO, plus bitcoin has been around for 12 years yet for the "next big thing" it doesn't seem to be used in everyday life, I don't know anybody who uses bitcoin to regularly buy...

Thank you, I think the biggest problem most retail traders have is they only open a few trades and focus on them too much, but no matter how good your analysis or edge is, you can't ever predict with 100% success the outcome of a trade, as all trade results are based on future events and nobody...
