Assuming that you could achieve a 100% return every year (incredibly difficult, and doesn't account for taxes), you would double your money every year, and it would take about 5.1 years to reach a million.

Let's say that you own a farm that is valued at $500K. I come along and offer you $700K for the farm. Even though you were not looking to sell, it's an offer you feel that you cannot pass up, so you sell. A week later the news announces that oil has been discovered under your old farm and the...

If those are the only functions that you need to do, almost any broker software can accomplish. I still don't see why you need any programming.

Melania Trump.

I am not sure where your numbers originate. First the election was Nov 8, 2016 not 2017. Second on Election Day, Nov 8, 2016 the Dow closed at 18,332; the day after the election it closed at 18,589, for a 1.4% increase.

If Manafort is sentenced to more than 10 years, then he is not eligible to serve in a minimum security prison. That's why Bernie Madoff is in a medium security prison.

Cohen has already testified that committed a felony at the "behest of candidate", i.e. Trump.

The only way I see Collins getting more than a slap on the wrist if for the Feds to use the same tactic they used in getting ImClone's Waksal to plead guilty -- threaten to go after his son for the maximum sentence.

The more important question here is why was an active U.S. congressman allowed to be a board member of a publicly traded firm. The potential for all sorts of shenanigans was huge. It used to be that after politicians left office, they would cash in by joining firms (defense contactors, pharma...

That's not the definition of arbitrage. It is certainly possible to lose money in arbitrage; unlikely, but still possible.

Didn't I see this scam in the Producers play ?

How is that different than the job growth calculations before and after Obama?

Actually each jobs report is adjusted twice. Once after a month, then again after 2 months. Because the source for the numbers come from different sources (businesses, governments, households), I don't think that one week would be sufficient time between adjustments. A really good article that...

Where did you hear that Chromebooks may soon be running Windows? I am very skeptical about that. Google has been trying for years to get Chromebooks to run Android software, and they still can't get that released. Plus, why would Google even want Chromebooks to run Windows?

There is no way to install IB TWS, or almost any other software for that matter, on a standard Chromebook. That's how Google minimizes the possibility of viruses on a Chromebook. However, if you have a powerful enough Chromebook, you can bypass the ChromeOS and install ChromBuntu which is a...

Remember that if you are a USA citizen you still owe USA IRS taxes, no matter where in the world you reside. The only way around it to become a citizen of another county, and renounce your USA citizenship. Also, it's not that easy to become a citizen of some countries like the Bahamas. There...

Well at least Trump has not yet said: Wars are good. Wars are easy to win.

I don't think that anyone, including the GOP leadership, seriously believed that the tax cuts would pay for themselves. It was simply a gift to reward big party donors. According to the CBO projections, GDP would have to grow by more than 5% annually for the tax cuts to pay for themselves, and...

The market, and most economists, think that 2nd Quarter 4.1% increase is an aberration and unsustainable. For example, it is estimated that fully 1/4 of the increase is due to more exports from the USA to countries trying to beat the anticipated tariffs from trade wars. That is not repeatable...

A funny story that came out during the presidential campaign. The law firm that Trump hired to defend himself from the hundreds of lawsuits from small contractors that Trump stiffed on payment had a strict policy that no lawyer could meet with Trump alone because Trump lied so much. In the end...
