403B is not a market "anything"... it's a payroll deduction tax deferment plan. Your 403B will have various investment options within the plan. One of those might be a "SP500 index" fund. A more aggressive fund might be "small cap". One might be more "balanced"... part bonds, part stocks.

My Grandpa told me, "Show respect to old people. You'll be one someday."

Those 8" floppies really were "floppy"... not encased in plastic like later.

You're such a noob! My first PC had a tape drive. My next one had an 8" floppy drive, 64K of RAM (that's right, "K"... not a typo) and cost $5,000. My 1st HDD was 40MB with lots of bad sectors... and I thought, "wow, this is fast" ... and it cost only $400! :)

I'm pragmatic because (1) my home net has 4 computers now... used to have 5.... so I don't buy just 1 at a time at upgrade, (2) used workstations work just as well as new for several years and you save 75% or more off of the new price. If you want to buy the equivalent of new, Dell Outlet has...

Not my view. They never should have been here in the first place... and if they get kicked out now, so much the better. They've already sucked-tit on the American tax payer more than they should have been allowed. They don't deserve more "just because they are already here". They should...

Dell Precision T5810s (w/Xeon E5-1620 or better CPU) run ~$1150. You can sometimes get one for $850 from Dell Outlet. I've even seen them down to $650 a couple of times. 3-year on-site warranty included.

It's no wonder America is such a mess. Half of the populace is stupid as a box of rocks.

Probably none. Years ago Dell Dimension used IBM mobos, but in a cost-cutting move they later switched to Foxconn OEM (with IBM specs). The only Dell computers I use and recommend are from the Precision line. Yes, they still have Foxconn OEM mobos, but I have had virtually no trouble with...

Years ago, a 20% dip in the market was not considered a "bear market". In fact, it was just "routine noise"... a "correction" on the way up. In bull and bear markets psychology is as much a factor as prices. "Relentlessness" in one direction. To someone hold long in a bear market, it seems...

Sounds like discrimination. Don't we have laws against that?

No shit! In Hitler's time, it was the Nazis. Today very similar but from the EU in Brussels. Same objective. :(

"Trading around a long-side bias" allows for/includes shorting, as appropriate. (I don't know anything for sure... just trying to strategize around what I see... subject to revision tomorrow.) If your idea of "making money" is scalping a tick or two, here and there... you're "fishin' in a dry...

That's exactly what Goebbels said... "A lie told often enough will eventually be accepted as truth". Which is the dictionary definition of "propaganda".

Trump, Farage, Wilders... DITTO!! I'm astonished at how many people support the "assault on freedom" going on around the world... supporting their own hosing without realizing. Then again I really shouldn't be surprised... Goebbels said, "people are stupid and easily manipulated". :(

Not an EWave devotee, but seems sometimes the big counts work out in a clear way. With this upside breakout, I'm thinking the low in early 2016 was the completion of W4 from the 2009 low... and now we're in "W5 Up"... perhaps about half way through it. Playing it by ear, of course... but...

The Leftist doctrine is all about having the government tell you what to do, how to think and behave, etc. In a marriage... when a woman tells the husband the same, we call him "hen pecked"... A PUSSY! Same thing.

My grandfather was not an educated man. He worked for a railroad and raised 10 kids... but he was savvy in "the ways of the world"... not to mention a sharp wit and keen sense of humor. When I was a teen, he advised me... "The world doesn't owe you a living, kid. Make something of yourself"...

Sad, too. Immigration is an existential threat to everything we call "America", but the politicos want the immigrant vote in their column to support reelection.... and are willing to sacrifice the entire country for their political careers. And of course, the MSM is "all in" with the Lefties...

I get bombarded with solicitations to buy into "option services". Seems they all want ~$3,000/yr for their advice. Though the high return percentages on trades advertised are enticing, here's what I think is the reality: 1. You may make 100%+ on many option positions, but you'll have so...
