As far as increasing domestic production goes, if people have more money, they have the greater potential to create more production thru small businesses and local economic development. I mean, that is the very premise of trickle-down economics, isn't it? That producers with more money will...

I said taxation, didn't I?

I mean, an unending cycle of money is economics isn't it? Right now, we get money from companies for labor, then we give money back to companies for products, or, their labor. Back and forth constantly changing hands, which is why making sure it comes back down is an important part of the cycle...

Who do the 100 participants buy the initial shares from in the first step? Who buys the shorts that the banks sell short in the last step?

I mean, you know I am a UBI proponent. Obviously it's something that would need easing into, but I view strong labor and high minimum wages beneficial to keep the bottom line afloat until we reach such a tipping point. Basically, it's all a means to an end of keeping money from stagnating at...

I don't think this thinking is taking into account the complete paradigm shift that globalization and automation will have on a capitalistic economy. Yes, what you're saying, that 100% employment implies that laborers are in demand and wages need to rise competitively, is tradition. However...

I mean, that's what I mean. Companies can't make profits if people don't have money. So there is an incentive for an economy to want the population to have enough money to spend before it gets to a tipping point of shrinking from shrinking profits, which lead to cost cutting, which leads to...

Indeed. If fulltime minimum wage didn't require supplementary income, it would cost less tax dollars to support those who need welfare on top of work. And despite min wage scaremongering, I haven't seen stats yet showing a negative effect on employment in proportion to its positives.

Profit off the drawdown by predicting how long it's going to go. Would you go long from flat where you are?

Capital.

If there aren't enough jobs, there won't be enough consumers, and there won't be profits. They'll need redistribution through UBI to keep the system going.

I'm getting the same thing. The numbers seem all off, so I chalked it up to a bug. I'm also looking at it in read-only mode, but it is my live account.

From Wiki it says re: Panic of 1907, "He noticed conditions where a lack of capital existed to buy stock." What does this mean? How does one measure the amount of sitting capital held by all players? Just the market cap of the whole market?

The only thing that is bad for a market is uncertainty. Everyone's pretty positive that a few hike is coming, so it's already been priced in. A rate hike is a sign of an improving economy, which can balance out the sheer devaluation of stocks because the dollar is worth more. Also, interest rate...

Huh? Is this a limit order or a stop limit? If it were a standing limit order during the day, it'd be hit along the way, filling at the limit price, since the price has to go thru it to spike thru it. If it were a stop limit, you could get a better price from the slippage that happens between...

Why not chart the futures for volume? Also, so you make subweek trades. What are your timeframes?

I keep the candles. I also still believe in volume information, as I chart the time frames alongside constant volume bars.

It's mostly what I use, because conceptually they're the simplest entries and stops. It's probably a very crowded trade, but I think it works for a reason. That, and I conceptually haven't figured out a way to play inbetween the high-lows. Perhaps I don't have to, and should just accept what...

FWIW, VIX is calculated using minutes out of the year. It probably doesn't hurt to add the extra precision. It probably is actually necessary on expiration day.

I can guarantee a way to never lose money. Never play ;)
