If all you want is to be left alone, why did you stir this shit up?

Long ago I traded some smaller market commodity futures back when floor trading still dominated. I was told that sometimes the bigger fish went stop hunting, they would target an area where they thought a large group of stops were and hope it triggers a large cascade. They looked at retail stops...

No I disagree. If you think the smartest-best person in the room is the one who sells and convinces people better, then you do not know how the technical world works. Nature nor the economy does not care about your debate skills, the best decisions often come after long deliberation alone after...

I lose patience, that is where the stupid comes in, sorry All college valuable? first of all in the US many of these so called degrees are no longer education but indoctrination. They have evolved into what many are calling cults due to their refusal to allow debate from other points of view...

Is that your fave childhood food? I still eat sloppy joes and macdonalds thought I would do my part in taking this thread off the rails

I half agree, covid didnt help, my son is an ER doc, there is a shortage in some critical areas including his, burnout is high We already needed more doctors. Then COVID-19 hit | AAMC Medicine is STEM IMO, but anyway I am not in favor of banning other majors, just don't give them huge loans...

There's a Physician Shortage In the U.S. Here's Why | Time

Shifting the goalposts from waiters and cab drivers to plumbers and electricians is dishonest the level of skill and knowledge required are vastly different, so are you a dishonest debater? I am very satisfied with uber drivers over cab drivers, let's leave it at that, they don't need some...

the original point is that it is stupid to draw lessons from singpore for the US

I'll take a highly rated Uber driver over a taxi driver any day. The car and person is generally cleaner and the people are nicer. You don't need some bullshit government training to drive people across town. "Complexity of a waiter's job" LOL, WTF

you have no idea what race politics is like in the US if you think that 'diversity' resembles the US

its 90% Chinese or Malay, that is not nearly close to the USA

Not sure how old you are but my life had a similar trajectory, I quit trading for a while it turned out fine, now I am back to trading but this time under much less pressure. Hang in there Steve, sounds like you gotta a lot of life ahead of you and you can make good things happen for yourself.

"While it's difficult to compare a country of under 6 million with America..." No shit, but then you try anyway. I would add a country of 6 million ethnically homogeneous people as well. If singapore took in 3 million american blacks, then we can talk about how that education system is better...

That is my read, it is really hard to get excited about the upside given what is happening in bonds, housing, earnings, inflation, the fed, et al.

more winning versus less losing?

4 QEs with 4 big stock rallies into a stock market with a high market cap to GDP ratio that is still high historically I would be very uncomfortable as a long term (multi-year) buy and holder right now

Aren't they all?

I don't get it, futures are MORE liquid on a stock, huh? are you saying always sell the bid or buy the offer? Not sure why that is an issue unless the spread moves around extremely quickly. I tried this on a smaller market once, canadian dollar futures, ET can mark that down as an example of...

you are a lot funnier in the overnight session, operating like a fine sturgeon with a scallop
