    ODUMBO Logic

    It's kind of like the kid who says, "if you don't let me be the pitcher, I'm going to take my ball and bat and go home... and none of the rest of you will get to play".

    Barclays stops doing VXX?

    No worries. I never ran "leveraged" anything for other people. My 15-minutes of fame came from running a mutual fund timing service... and that was before the days of leveraged index funds... all trades based upon "price TA"... same as now for me and my family money. "Leveraged ETFs" are easy...

    Barclays stops doing VXX?

    You "recall" incorrectly. I never said such a thing. Regardless of the fees and expenses, leveraged funds will outperform the underlying in both the short term and long in a trending market. But due to "expenses of leverage", not exactly to the 2X/3X leverage parameter. Look... Leverage is a...

    Barclays stops doing VXX?

    "Rip-offs"? There is a cost for vehicles which include leverage... same as if you borrow from your broker and have to have to pay "margin interest".... or paying option premiums... such investments are generally not designed for "long term, buy-and-hold". If you feel you're being hosed trading...

    To what extent does gut feeling/instincts/intuition serve in your trading?

    The less experienced you are, the more you're likely to succumb to "feelings/instincts/intuition". NOT a formula for success.

    To what extent does gut feeling/instincts/intuition serve in your trading?

    Trading money is made with logic and discipline. All else is distraction.

    "Things" change in the markets all the time. Adapt or perish.

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    I think I'd like to see Trump repeal Odumbo's sanctions against Russia if warranted.... and make a public statement that "Odumbo acted like a petulant child, and his sanctions need to be undone for the sake of better Russia and USA relations." Obama never takes the "high road". He's always a...

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    "I'll let in a bunch more muslim terrorists before I go", too. Much like Saddam set all the oil rigs on fire on his way out of retreating from Kuwait. Odumbo has been 100% consistent all along. "For whatever decisions I have to make, I'll always choose the option which harms America the...

    SJW Explained properly - Everyone should listen and understand

    True 'dat! The Progressives have been chipping away at American freedoms and values for >100 years. It's a long fight if we patriots are to prevail. Whatever Trump is or does is likely just a "bump in the road" to them :(

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    ABSOFRICKINLUTELY!! Newspeople often asked, "what's Obumbo really up to"? If you filter everything you think about him and his actions... through the filter of "he's actually a closet muslim terrorist and pathological liar will full intent to do whatever harm to America that he can get away...

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    Consistent with his behavior all along. He'd like to make things difficult for Trump so that he'll be a one-term POTUS. He behaves and governs like like a narcissistic, vindictive snot-nosed brat... much like Hellary!

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    The DemoCraps, from Odumbo on down.... plus the MSM, EU, NATO, Soros and all the rest of the globalists... are all in on "the destruction of the white west". It's a WAR... and they are hell-bent upon winning. No lie, no atrocity is beyond the pale for them. We Americans can't save the all of...

    Obama Under "Intense Pressure" To Release Evidence Proving Russians Hacked The Election

    Seems Odumbo and the Dems "doth protest too much". 'Till proven otherwise, I'm thinking this Russian hacking business is just another false flag.... all lies and an excuse to heap more harm on America. (Much in the same way I suspected GWB and his admin/CIA being at least duplicitous in...

    Handling the psychological part of being a full-time trader/investor

    That's kind of what every aspiring trader hopes. Unfortunately, not reality except in a small percentage of cases.

    Handling the psychological part of being a full-time trader/investor

    All that's really important is that you go to work and make a living like anybody else.... hopefully it's a good/great living. When people ask me what I "do", I say "I trade the financial markets". Most then just glaze over. Not only do they not have a clue what that means, they don't...

    Watch Elon Musk and SpaceX Team Freak Out Over Historic Rocket Launch

    Does that make him the "real deal"? Maybe he's just "getting away with it" until somebody wises up.... after all, and in spite of all government subsidies... he's still selling cars at a loss. Only way you stay in business that way is to have the government subsidizing.
