    Predicting Closing Prices

    Instead of selling me an app for say $10k that will make me a million dollars, I would rather you simply give me the million, less the $10k. What the hell. Keep an extra $10k for beer money. After all, if it would make me a million, it would make you a million, too. Over and over. Cest pas?

    Building new trading PC - some questions.

    While I am personally NOT a fan of HP computers, a refurb is a great way to get a machine on a budget that you can trade on. Even if you have to upgrade it yourself with more RAM or a small boot SSD and a graphics card, there are lots of cheap options out there. I am running a lightly modified...

    Building new trading PC - some questions.

    If you are not running Linux, you should DEFINITELY isolate your trading to a separate computer that you do not use for web browsing, email, or messing about with this app and that app. I am amazed, as a former WinDOHs user who left that camp mostly due to security concerns, how unconcerned most...

    When stop loss doesn't trigger and price improves:)

    This. And waiting for two instead of triggering on just one will prevent a lot of false stops from bad data points. So it's a good thing. I have seen my positions on occasion dip momentarily past my stop and not trigger unless it holds for a couple of ticks. I don't fuss with it. I put my stop...

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    Most of our beef is grain fed and so is a lot more expensive even relative to the economy. Well, actually grass fed beef seems to sell for a premium too LOL! Yeah I was a seaman for my whole working life except I was a fisherman in my younger years, and when we took provisions in a foreign port...

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    A cubit would be an unhandy unit when making for instance dovetail joints in a chest. Think about it. Would he have cut mortises to the nearest 256th or 512th of a cubit? Nah. He would have preferred the nearest 1/32 of an inch or so. half of a half of a half of a half of a half. Or whatever the...

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    Jesus was a carpenter. I am absolutely positive he measured in inches (a thumb width) and feet or maybe cubits and/or handspans, though he might have had a different name for them since English wasn't invented yet. He certainly didn't measure in centimeters. If inches are good enough for Jesus...

    GrowleyMonster's Sorta Journal

    Got bored this morning and looked into offshore forex brokers. None cater to Linux users. However just out of curiousity I tried installing MT4 with Wine. It installed, seems to be running. I am betting it will be slow, running in Wine, but maybe comparable to webware, I don't know. This was on...

    yerba matey. US keyboard so no accent marks available but the second word the accent is on the second syllable. An acquired taste. I never acquired the taste. Tried it, had all the paraphernalia, didn't like it.

    The Rolling Stones are so old, their latest tour’s being sponsored by a retirement fund

    These young kids today! They need to start thinking very hard about what kind of world they will leave behind for me, Willie Nelson, and Keith Richards.

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    Honestly, someone who enters the country illegally has committed and is committing an ongoing illegal act. That person must not be allowed to benefit from it. I do not have a problem with changing immigration law to make legal immigration easier. America is a nation of immigrants. I do have a...

    When do you think this bull market is going to end?

    I am pretty certain the bulls will be running until the end of the year, at least. Beyond that, we will see. If Trump's policies manage to keep the run going, then expect an adjustment when he leaves office or when it is certain that he will be leaving office. That adjustment could be fairly...

    SP 500 vs Amazon

    This. Word. To trade, Amazon would at least give you some action, though there are certainly better choices in general. But the two choices given disallow them. To invest, S&P and real estate, as above. Okay, just S&P then. I forgot, the choices are given in the OP. No, myself I would not...
