    Trump Orders 737-Max Grounding.... Buying LUV puts.

    Agree with everything you said. The question is under what circumstances does this happen? If it happened twice, for these two crashes, that is relatively such a small number when you count all the take-offs around the world since these new models began flying. There are possibly a few more...

    Trump Orders 737-Max Grounding.... Buying LUV puts.

    I actually think this is the training these days. The pilots are there to monitor the systems and not really fly the plane. Totally agree here. I really think in this case, they just ran out of time. It takes a while to diagnose what is going wrong and realize that you need to take over...

    How a Bitcoin Evangelist Made Himself Vanish, in 15 (Not So Easy) Steps

    The critical thing here is famous people need to be kept in the spotlight in order to keep making money and staying relevant. Kim lasted for how long not posting on social media after her kidnapping??? A guy with bitcoin riches is much better off hiding in my opinion that hiring bodyguards.

    Trump Orders 737-Max Grounding.... Buying LUV puts.

    What I read was that these planes have larger, more efficient engines. This meant that they had to be mounted somewhat differently on the wing, and this affected the plane's centre of gravity. This caused the nose to have a tendency to point up, and required software to keep it safe. I do...

    Baby Boom To Baby Bust - Martin Armstrong Exposes The Crisis In Socialism

    Ok, that's fair enough, I will grant you that. But its bewildering then how this professional opinion can be drowned out at the hands of the politicians, and also how none of this is reflected in the market. Of course I shouldn't even drag the market into this so as not to open up a can of...

    Baby Boom To Baby Bust - Martin Armstrong Exposes The Crisis In Socialism

    Honestly, I don't know much about economics, but the fact that we can't come to concrete conclusions about how for example a tax cut will affect the budget and the citizens is what is worrying. If you design a building, its pretty clear how many columns you need to build to support the...

    Baby Boom To Baby Bust - Martin Armstrong Exposes The Crisis In Socialism

    Fair enough, but you're not exactly disproving my point. There might be some jobs in Engineering that require guestimations, like in Economics, but lets face it, if even 10% of structures designed in the west fell over, we would have a very big problem. Conversely, if only 10% of the time...

    Baby Boom To Baby Bust - Martin Armstrong Exposes The Crisis In Socialism

    One critical difference between Engineering and Economics is that Economics is filled with theories, and with Engineering, we actually have laws based on scientific principles. In Economics, you can have guys with degrees continue to fight about how the world actually works and what policy will...

    Can Lyft Deliver The Knockout Blow to Uber in Bid for First RideShare IPO? Not So Fast.

    I find it so funny that they have a breakdown of which is better for drivers when the only way for these companies to be profitable is to ditch the drivers once the automated cars enter the scene. Imagine working for a company whose goal it is to get rid of you once the technology allows. If...

    CME equity micro contracts coming

    Trouble is that $2 is now 4 ticks for MNQ. That is an entire point. For MES, you will need 2 ticks just to BE. If you look at long term stats, many traders will average 5-6 ticks profit per trade over hundreds of trades. If you take 2 ticks away, it really messes with your potential, and...

    CME equity micro contracts coming

    What I'm seeing is $1.06 total. If this is round trip, and if the pricing will be similar, then this is about 1/4 cost for 1/10 size. Acceptable in my opinion. Having real world experience while losing $100 vs. $1000 in a day is much better, even if you paid an extra $20/30 for commissions.

    The weenies are coming!!

    Important question though is what will the commissions be. At least in ES, when you make a tick, you also make about $8 for yourself. With NQ, if you make a tick, you get about $1, but at least you covered commissions. With 1/10 the value, you will now need to make a few ticks just to break...

    The radical moral implications of luck in human life

    You had the choice to leave whenever you wanted to. Do you not see this? You had a country that provided you a comfortable life to go back to. Suppose your starting point is that you're Jewish on a train to Auschwitz. Do you have inspirational quotes about determination that could help you...

    The radical moral implications of luck in human life

    Volpri, you seem to be suggesting that any person has the power to change their situation, and although that is true to an extent, you simply don't want to acknowledge that the start you have in life makes makes perhaps the biggest difference to where you end up. What some of us are trying to...

    Vancouver Housing Plunge

    I don't disagree wholly, but where will the money come from? No matter how much you need a house, if you don't qualify for a 2 million dollar mortgage, it won't happen. The only question is, will enough sellers give in? I don't think there are any buyers at these levels.

    The radical moral implications of luck in human life

    I think an interesting question would be if we could switch up the people. Insert the kid who grew up in a good home into an area with very little hope and opportunity, but with all the so called skills about hard work and nurturing. How far can he be expected to get having the right mindset...
