    From Reagan to Trump: Here's how stocks performed under each president

    Not only the stock market, but the entire economy, from GDP to Unemployment, tends to perform better under Democratic presidents. Since the early 1900's, every recession but one has happened under a Republican president. If Trump can hang on for 17 more months he will be the first Republican...

    Proposed Financial transaction tax question (Futures)

    Free college is the most likely to pass, and they won't need a financial transaction tax to pay for it. I was surprised at how little, $79 billion, it would take to pay for free, PUBLIC college tuition for every U.S. student, and that half of that would be covered by money the Federal...

    Proposed Financial transaction tax question (Futures)

    There is no plan. It is just political campaign talk, mostly by Bernie Sanders. To pass such a tax, the Democrats would have to maintain their House majority (likely), take back the Senate (unlikely), and win the Presidency (possible, but it is very hard to defeat a sitting President unless the...

    I've been tracking a portfolio since 7/18 and I'm beating the market

    I can't know for sure what exactly your strategy is, but I can tell you that when the market is going down, almost any strategy that is long on high quality/high dividend stocks, and short on high beta/high P/E stocks will beat the market. When the market is going up, the opposite is true. You...

    Trump Announces 10% Tariffs on 300 Billion!

    Democrats are TERRIBLE at politics, and get outmaneuvered at ever turn by the Republicans; from losing a Supreme court seat, to failing to properly market Obamacare (everyone hated it for years until the Republicans tried to eliminate it without having a better solution). I wouldn't worry...

    Trump Announces 10% Tariffs on 300 Billion!

    My response to do with credit to Obama or Trump. My response was to the poster that stated that if Trump wasn't reelected the markets would crash. The fact is that the stock market does better under Democratic administrations, and has nothing to do with who is the president...

    Trump Announces 10% Tariffs on 300 Billion!

    I hate to burst your bubble, but the market did better under Obama than under Trump. Both in average gain per year, and in the first 30 months of their presidencies. Fortune magazine: S&P 500 Has Performed Far Worse Under Trump Than Under Obama...

    Keeping your IP at a prop firm?

    Before becoming a trader, I was in software development for most of my life so I am well aware of both the legalities and the ethics. This situation is different. The OP is bringing his own software to the prop firm so he can use their equipment and capital to run the software to produce trading...

    Keeping your IP at a prop firm?

    I don't understand. How can they prevent you taking the code with you when you leave? They may bring legal action to stop you using the code somewhere else, but how can they prevent taking it with you? Don't give the prop firm documented code. Depending on the coding language, give them only...

    How Costco gained a cult following — by breaking every rule of retail

    I buried my mother in a coffin from Costco.com; Yes they sell coffins and have incredible competent and respectful service. They delivered the coffin inside the funeral home, unpacked it, set it on a stand, removed all the packing materials and swept up the floor when done. I saved a couple...
