With as many spelling and grammatical mistakes as you make (degree's, its, thats, useleless, economicly) it is apparent that a college education was wasted on you.

If you are not willing/able to pay for top accounting advice, at least read the best guide out there for traders: Green's 2023 Trader Tax Guide Paperback. Best $60 you ever spent. Available on Amazon

Why are you singling out Africa as a continent that need colonization. More than half the countries in Africa have a higher per capita GDP than the South American countries of Bolivia and Venezuela, and Nicaragua and Honduras in Central America. In fact, there are 9 African countries (Algeria...

First of all, while there are several truly depressed countries in Africa, one has to acknowledge that there are quite a few such as Botswana, Ghana and Equatorial Guinea that are doing quite well. Second, Ethiopia, which you showcase as an African country that is doing extremely poorly, is not...

I know of at least one - Fiji. They requested Britain to colonize them, because they were afraid that the USA would colonize them right after the USA took over Hawaii.

I thing I regularly observe is that analyst firms that release up/downgrades are regularly trading in the stocks the night before the up/downgrade is released. You can observe this with the very unusual price/volume action in those stocks the night before.

Yes these notice are usually released outside Regular Trading Hours. Occasionally, there is a screwup and a company will accidentally release the notice during RTH.

Taxing capability (personal, corporate, tariffs, sales), over a billion acres of real estate, millions of acres of oil and mineral rights, immense borrowing capacity.

I get asked this question a lot by friends/relatives. For those who are risk-averse, especially retirees or near retirement, I usually recommend SDY (SPDR S&P Dividend ETF). Decent yield (usually around 3.5%), medium chance of capital appreciation, but price never falls too far even when the...

1) I see no problem with day traders using 3X, or inverse 3X. I have used them dozens of times myself, but have never held for more than a day. My algos are programmed to treat them as if I bought, or sold, 3X the underlying. Sometimes it is easier to get fills on the 3X ETFs that the 1X ETFs...

After 2 postings you still don't understand the point I am trying to make - that long term, nx leveraged ETFs of volatile indexes will always underperform by more than nx the underlying index. I simply chose $100 to make the example math easier. I urge you to read the following article that...

You will find out on Thursday evening when Apple,Amazon, Google and Facebook release earnings, and future guidance.

I understand what you are saying, but go back to my example where the underlying goes down 5% one day, then up 5% the next. At then end, $100 in the underlying is down 0.25% to $99.75; but the 3x is down 2.25% to $97.75; That's not 3x, that's a 9x decrease. If you vary the daily percentage...

Nope the 3x ETFs do not perform like every other ETF. Their value decays much more rapidly if the underlying index is very volatile. For example, if the underlying index goes down 5% one day, then increases 5% the next, $100 in the 1x ETF would be worth $100 x 0.95 x 1.05 = $99.75; the 3x ETF...

That's not my understanding. All banks limit the amount of cash you can withdraw on any given day, simply because they don't not keep a massive amount of cash on hand. But you are free to withdraw any amount on any day via cashier's check, bank wire or ACH.

FYI, you can't just move to Puerto Rico and stop paying IRS capital gains taxes. You have to apply for Act 60 residential status, and the whole process takes about 5 to 6 months to complete. Once Act 60 status is granted, you should conservatively spend at least 6 months a year in PR, but can...

GBTC trades at a 45% discount to NAV because they refuse to provide proof of the number of bitcoins that they claim to own https://www.cnbc.com/2022/11/21/grayscale-wont-share-proof-of-reserves-due-to-security-concerns.html

I can't see the USA, or any other major country, adopting bitcoin as their official currency. First that would limit their ability to print as much money as they want. Second why would the USA adopt bitcoin when they can simply issue their own digital currency? The USA wouldn't have to pay for...

I believe you would be playing with fire. Remember, the source of the article, relocatepuertorico.com, is not an official PR agency. There are a service that for a fee, assists investors in moving to PR. If the IRS or PR come to you after a couple years and says you were not really a PR...
