I've never studied the subject, but have recently become curious about how the requirements for voting in other countries compare to those here in the USA. I think the virtual lack of standards for voting here have a lot to do with assuring that there is no discrimination against minority...

Seems to me that there is a continuum from day trader all the way to long term investor. Of course, one can do both. But to make a living with longer term positions, you would need to have a sizeable portfolio. The day trader can make a small profit on a large number of trades with a small...

How long am I going to have to hold this short ES to get my 8 points? Stosh

I've been with IB for about two years and it is like that every night. Often goes in and out several times over 30 minutes or more. Stosh

I've owned lots of rental property of all kinds (Fort Worth, Tx.). I hated it, but it served me well financially....esp. during inflationary times. Management companies aren't that good unless you own enought units to afford the best......and when you are personally involved it is very...

I'm 66 and trading from the nursing home....... Alzheimer's wing. Stosh

You don't win over 100 games with over 1000 strikeouts without having some spine. Too bad spines are so scarce in DC. Stosh

Unfortunately, the U.S. (and most democracies) will have to be in worse shape than Greece before they seriously cut back on even the worthless entitlements. You should have to contribute something, before you can vote, i. e., when you have more "takers" than "makers", you get trouble. Stosh

Maybe personal responsibility? Naaaah.

I'm afraid that our next president will be Hillary Clinton. Stosh

I had some trading days last year that were so bad, it was good that I didn't have my firearm handy. Stosh

..video shows the inevitable result of decades of naive do-gooders using government to try to achieve their utopia........ and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs in the process...............in the once golden state. Sad.....and completely preventable. Stosh

Good question..........hope someone can name a few countries. I have read that Ireland has cut taxes a lot, but don't know details. Stosh

You have to know what is important to know, e.g., you might know everything there is to know about what you are studying.....but you may not be studying the appropriate thing. Stosh

Fundamentals in general seem to be getting better....and I would think that from a TA view, 10,000 on the Dow would provide psychological support. We shall soon see. Stosh

I have found that averaging down is an excellent strategy when prices bottom and trend up soon after your purchases. I may write a book about this strategy. Stosh

I'm kind of like the guy who had a job in the circus parade walking behind the elephants cleaning their poop off the streets. A friend told him he should quit and get a better job. He replied, "What???......and get out of show business. No way..." Stosh

We've been going to hell believing in Keynesian economics, which sounds good in theory. But, how many gov'ts are going to save up a surplus in good times to use in the bad times (so-called countercyclical policy). In practice, they borrow and spend in the good times, and borrow and spend in...

If you want to research the real estate market, there are some fantastic deals for those who know what they are doing and have the cash. Stosh

In my opinion, a day trader doesn't "need" much knowledge of economics to be successful (just hard work).....but the longer you hold your positions, the more important the big picture becomes. This subject can inspire a lot of debate due to differing opinions about: technical analysis vs...
