    How was trading 100 years ago?

    Then 1950s you had the Univacs and IBM 700 series computers, people would look for the best vacuum tubes on the market to cut trading times. The hottest tubes with the best grids were gold.

    How was trading 100 years ago?

    Back in the days Curb market was actually outside on the street (AMEX) and people in the building would yell to the traders on the outside curb prices etc.. Inside NYSE you would have posts with pegs to hang your hats. Pricing was displayed with mechanical indicators manned by employees., and...

    Market sell-off could get 'significantly worse' this week — and it echoes 1987 crash, strategist say

    10 year yields of 6% is definite risk off. Why put money in stocks if I can make 6% a year on my cash with no worries of capital loss. shit if we hit 13% I will put all my money in 10 year notes. Only a moron would bother trading if you can get 13% yields on your money.

    How to get out of a traffic ticket in India

    The way it works is you put the bills slightly sticking up on on the palm of your hand on the steering wheel. If he is cool with it he will just pull it out of your hand and everything is good to go.

    Trading should not be some sort of entertainment where you trade just out of boredom. I will wait weeks for the right setup, remember this is your capital you need to protect it.

I mean rich people comfortable. The biggest not not too long ago was the 100 Bolivares fuerte, and then it goes...

    He Won $19 Million in the Lottery—And Became a Bank Robber

    The harder you sweat for it the harder you protect it. It took a shit load of sweat equity to get to my position in life, no way am I going to squander it via stupidity. Think about it, why don't drug dealers quit when they are ahead. IF you made 40 million why not just disappear and retire...

    Took my lumps today. Took a 3200USD loss today but avoided an 22K or more loss

    My mistake was complacency. the 10 year note was signaling distress ahead I had a profit on the table and should have closed when gut said hey why not enter that new trade you are thinking about and close the other. I got kind of lazy and complacent and too my eyes off the ball busy fucking...

    So, you were cheering for the market to crash, What do you do now?

    I could care less I am licking my wounds today and waiting for an opportunity that offers me an appropriate risk adjusted profit. :) Like an idiot I ignored that increasing 10 year yield, I smelled smoke but got complacent. Lost 3K and and of course opportunity cost, I was thinking of entering...

    Took my lumps today. Took a 3200USD loss today but avoided an 22K or more loss

    Positive for the year (minus 3200 bucks) but If I would have been an idiot, or using Hope as a strategy, or tried to ride it out our double down to hope for a profit it would have been bad. If I would have been dumb enough to wait for an upswing I would have been down 22K easy by near closing...
