    Fires/forest fires might have a little to do with it. https://wildlandfire.az.gov/wildfire-news The map shows a lot of fires going on for the whole nation... I live between Tucson and Phoenix. Tucson has a major blaze, so does Phoenix. You can see the glow at night. There was a small fire 6...

    I followed "Trader71" for awhile. He is on YouTube. One of the things he did was look at the big picture each AM and make some likely predictions for the day -- not for entries so much as to hold on to swing trades. To not cut winners short. It is a habit/exercise I like... Here is today's...

    What's a worthwhile daily take on the e-mini S&P 500?

    One of the first successful traders I knew traded for a small number of points each day. He said that once he became consistently profitable he pushed it. But as he made more and more profit, he started to dwell on... the more risk he was taking, the more taxes he had to pay. This bothered him...

    People are losing their clucking minds over backyard chickens

    We've had chickens for years. Chickens can be a lot of work at times. They get sick and can die. Skunks will kill them to get the eggs. They can be left alone or also be pets and a lot of fun. They are smart in their way, can be trained to do activities... to play a form of soccer... It's...

    Study reports mutant coronavirus

    I don't mean I like anything about deaths... but gallows humor has it's place. I worked in hospitals summers while in college. Some of the behind the scenes humor was sort of shocking.

    A question to cut through a lot of the political whatever has been "do you personally know someone who has died from the virus?" Over the last couple of weeks the answer has become 'yes'... not necessarily the person themselves, but yes, someone in their family or one of their friends knows...

    Who were your teachers/mentors?

    My first mentor outside of my family was an older attorney who was a friend of the family. Unpretentious fellow, I’ve written about him here before. I watched him increase his trading account 10 fold over about 10 years. He lived in a typical house in a small rural farming town. The carpet...
