    Job numbers were TWICE as good as expected? Are they fake?

    It would make no sense for the government to release fake numbers 3 months before the election. They would either have to continue the fakery for 3 more months before the elections, or worse show declining job numbers just before the election. If these surprise job numbers had come out on...

    Taiwan must label its products as "Made in Taiwan, China"

    Production has very little to do with it. But 280 million iPhone users in China do.

    Job numbers were TWICE as good as expected? Are they fake?

    They are not fake, but that does not necessarily mean they are accurate. They will be revised twice in the next two months as better data comes in, then we will see how accurate they really were. For a really good explanation of job number accuracy see...

    Joe Biden to raise taxes for Income more than $30,000/year

    The Democrats are not very good at politics, but they are not totally incompetent. The smart political thing for the Democrats to do would be to let the tax cuts expire, make sure everyone knows that the Republicans had planned for the tax cuts to expire, then later on propose a tax cut that...

    Elon is a BS artist says ex-POTUS Trump

    Musk was not an original founder of Tesla, although he is largerly responsible for its metoric growth. The combined market cap of the companies Steve Jobs founded (Apple, Next, Pixar) is worth more than twice the ones Musk founded or ran, including Tesla. Jim Clark founded SGI, Netscape...

    Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy doubles down on Bitcoin-

    Actually the rumor is quite true. MicroStrategy would face a margin call if Bitcoin fell below $21,000. What was not true was that a margin call would cause MicroStrategy to collapse. Only 1/4 of Bitcoins are subject to margin call. It owns 3/4 of its Bitcoin outright so it could easily cover...

    Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy doubles down on Bitcoin-

    I agree. He is trying to show confidence, but not in Bitcoin but in MicroStrategy. There have been rumors that if Bitcoin fell below $21,000 that MicroStrategy would be facing margin calls. So they are trying to assure that MicroStrategy is not in financial trouble. Interesting that they didn't...

    Equal-weight S&P 500

    You are right, the Equal Weight performance advantage has disappeared over the last couple years, but not due to the reason you think. Both the Equal Weight index (RSP) and the regular S&P (SPY) are rebalanced once per quarter so there is not much difference in the turnover costs. However, when...

    Trying to reduce number of Windows processes during trading hours

    I don't think these processes are your problem. Note that for most of them the percent of CPU used is 0. Try to concentrate your efforts on processes that either use a lot of CPU or a lot of memory (add the memory column to the task list details).
