If you are looking to take advantage of trading earnings releases, you will need a lot more than a free/cheap source for the release. The market reacts within 10 seconds of the release which is faster than you can humanly read the release, much less interpret it. The professional traders and...

COVID has killed more Americans in 5 months, than all gun-related homicides in the past 10 years combined. I think the Idiot Democrats have their priorities straight on this one.

Well we don't have wonder how that would work out, we just have to look at Sweden, who did no lockdowns and decided to let "herd immunity" solve the problem. How did that work out for Sweden? Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more...

If you are collecting unemployment and your employer calls you back to work you can't refuse to work. Otherwise you automatically lose your unemployment benefits.

And let's not forget that the hardest hit countries in Europe were Italy and Spain. Which also happen to be the warmest countries in Europe.

Why the US has so much trouble with COVID-19 ? Because the leaders in the US think that there is nothing that they can learn from the rest of the world. Most Asian countries now have COVID well under control because they all wear masks outside. Not the US. We are too busy fighting for our...

i now wear disposable gloves when shopping, etc. Not because of fear of touching things, but because it is a great reminder to stop touching my face.

It appears that you have no idea what the term Defund The Police means. It does not mean abolishing the police. It means to take some money, and functions, allocated to police departments, and shift the money/functions to other government agencies. For example, why does a cop have to be called...

Can you give examples of specific stocks and time frames when you have observed this? Then you are more likely to get more than general answers.

I can't agree with you. First, 50% of the population won't take any vaccine. Second large parts of the economy (airline travel, movie theaters, restaurants, sporting arenas) will take years to get back to their pre-pandemic levels.
