Good info. It's crazy to think that Baltimore is a more dangerous place to live than some 3rd world countries that people are fleeing and seeking asylum from. It's also crazy to think of how dangerous some of our inner cities are in comparison to the rest of our country.

Most asylum seekers claim to be trying to escape gang violence. Moving to the wrong side of Baltimore wouldn't help them much.

That's an interesting question. The markets hate any type of disruption, but I think they would love a Fed chairman that would champion lower rates. So my best guess is that the move would be a net positive for the markets overall. All that being said, I doubt that Trump tries to fire Powell...

Fixed it for you. If you want to find a rat & rodent infested area, just look for the lowest income area of a major population center. It doesn't have anything to do with race or ethnicity.

Look on the bright side. Everyone expects the Fed to cut interest rates next week, and the talks are still moving forward. Hopefully you won't get burned too bad.

I'm not sure. The official details of the agreement haven't been released yet. We'll have to see how this plays out in court. I'm sure it will probably be struck down at the lower levels, but I doubt it will be at the Supreme Court. They upheld the travel ban, so I can't see them striking this...

I guess the money needs to be spent by the end of September. So I assume construction will start quickly.

I'm not a big fan of it either. The separation of power is there for a reason. I just wish congress wasn't such a dysfunctional cluster. Border security and immigration reform should've been dealt with a long time ago.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-court-wall/u-s-supreme-court-lets-trump-use-disputed-funds-for-border-wall-idUSKCN1UL2S7 U.S. Supreme Court lets Trump use disputed funds for border wall The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday handed President Donald Trump a victory by letting his administration...

Scaling into a position with a defined stop isn't necessarily a bad thing, but adding to a losing trade in hopes that it will turn around is really stupid.

Do some research to see which broker fits your needs the best. Tradezero & Robinhood offer commission free trading. IB & Lightspeed offer commissions starting at $1 per trade. TD Ameritrade has higher commissions, but their platform offers L2 data for free. So it's somewhat of a tradeoff. You...

In 2011 person A weighs 130 pounds and person B weighs 200 pounds. In 2015 person A still weighs 130 pounds and person B still weighs 200 pounds. A study would find that over a 5 year period that person A had a weight that was 35% lower than person B. But obviously there wasn't any reduction in...

No, federal law prevents this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protection_of_Lawful_Commerce_in_Arms_Act The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a United States law which protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with...

Legal gun owners should definitely be held responsible in the event of negligence, but that's a slippery slope. You can't really hold someone responsible for a firearm that's been stolen. Vehicles kill a lot more people than guns. Can you imagine if we banned someone from driving if they had...

I'll agree in part. There are still some loopholes out there, and we need a better system in place for mental health. Most states have laws in place against selling firearms to the mentally ill, but this is difficult to enforce due to privacy laws. I'll disagree on moving the age to 21 to...
