    Colin Kaepernick and NFL settle collusion case

    I am happy that Collin has won the case. He stood up for something far bigger than him. He knew that he would get the backlash of the people and the organizations but went with his heart. I hope that we will see him in the pitch once again. Did he make a fair step?

    Scalping with a hard stop loss

    I am not against scalping but I always find it difficult as there is too much risk in trading on the shorter term. I think trading requires planning and a good plan is that which makes you able to stay on the market for a long time. Do you agree with me?

    Forex Optimum - review

    Hello) They have 4 accounts. The minimum deposit on the deposit is indeed $10. But this is, if I am not mistaken, the initial account. Standard accounts can be opened from $300.

    Forex Optimum - review

    I think the situation is simpler than it seems. Crypto spreads are adequate, but their current volatility leaves much to be desired, so it seems that spreads don't let you have a profitbale trading. It's not true. Look closer, bitcoin has been under consolidation for 6 months. The crisis is...

    are people in the US starting to live like people in 3rd world countries

    It depends upon how you see things. I would like to ask you a question, how many mass school shootings have you seen or heard off in the third world countries. The United States have a serious gun issue and the people ignore to talk about it because the NRA has manipulated their minds.

    It’s better to be born rich than gifted

    These are really remarkable stats. I live with the philosophy that the way you raise your children matters irrespective of how rich or poor yoou are. I have seen a lot of people who are poor turn their life around with hard-work and dedication. They are the role models for us.

    The world’s biggest exports by country

    I believe that Asia will be the game changer in the future. Those countries just need a leader to unite all the countries of the region. If the sub-continent region, i.e, especially India and Pakistan have good relations with China, they can dominant every field of life.

    China uses the cloud to step up spying on Australian business

    I don't know who is right or wrong but these are the kind of actions that lead the world into war. We have not learned anything from the past. The World can't afford World War III as this war would be a nuclear war which will return in utter destruction. Please, talk about peace.

    what happened to Argentina?

    I think that the main issue is the taxation laws. The Argentina government needs to be lenient in these laws. Argentinas are a very talented nation. The government needs to help the people especially the youth in order to find the financial and social stability.

    It is my utter believe that China will become a superpower in the definite future. I can't believe the hypocrisy of the United States. They blame the Chinese for manipulating the economy and they outsource their majority work to China. You can look at the stats for yourself.

    Power from the people: homes paid to supply electricity to the grid

    This is a very good policy. A lot of energy is wasted especially in the summer season in the form of solar energy. This policy will help the people in finding a livelihood and will also help the government to solve the energy issues. I appreciate these efforts of the government.

    One random trader's own thoughts

    Economic cycles are going from optimism to pessimism. Both are relatively normal cycles in every market-driven economy, but for how long those cycles are going to last nobody can be 100% certain. This trend is especially visible in equities, due some portfolio diversification is good to follow.
