    Who do you think is the all time best trader in the world?

    He did it for both. BoA was the more publicized because BoA was close to collapse.

    Who do you think is the all time best trader in the world?

    In my post I did state that he is more of a long term trader than an investor, but he does do some medium term trading. For example, when the economy crashed in 2008, he loaned Goldman Sachs several billion for less than a year in return for a high interest rate + warrants.

    Who do you think is the all time best trader in the world?

    Warren Buffett. Became the third richest man in the world, not by inventing or creating anything, but simply by investing in other companies. He more of a long term investor than a short term trader, and has lost a bit of his touch over the past few years, but overall he still gets my vote.

    25% tariff on goods coming in from Mexico announced

    I think you may looking at the wrong problem. Assuming that 9% (i.e. 1 in 11) of your town's resource go to paying for services to illegal immigrants that is costing you approximately $1,454 per year. When Trump and the Republican Congress changed the tax laws so that you can only deduct a...

    what do you think of this Bernie's taxing trade proposal

    Actually the vast majority of wealth created in the last 20 years has never been taxed. Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Buffett, et al have not paid a dime in taxes on their wealth from the value of their stock in their companies. Now all they need is for Congress to eliminate the Estate Tax and that...

    Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    Your daughter unknowingly answered her own question. In a school with 400 people, there is no way that there is only one LGBT person. The others aren't proud enough to reveal themselves and I guess that's why the organizers want a parade.

    Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    Overall I liked your posting, but I have to comment on the sentence above since some readers may misunderstand. With the new rating system the SAT score itself is not being adjusted. The College Board that administers the test is simply assigning a numeric score to the students income, quality...

    Your kid's SAT score depends on your income and where you live

    I don't know if EliteTrader users are better writers or more intelligent that the average person, but I do question the ability of some posters in this thread to read or not jump to conclusions before knowing all the facts. This change was implemented by the College Board, the company that...

    Who wins in a Trade War? China or US?

    This is certainly the most racist post I ever seen on EliteTrader. Plus some of your comments are wrong. For example, take Nigeria, one of the two specific countries that Trump referred to as a shit-hole. Nigerian immigrants to America enjoy some of the largest income of any ethnic group...

    Who wins in a Trade War? China or US?

    Vietnam, Bay of Pigs, Iraq, Afghanistan. What do they all have in common? These were all places that America with its superior resources was supposed to score easy victories. And in all of them, America failed to secure a clear cut victory. Why? Because in each case America failed to account...

    California Population Growth Lowest In History

    Taxes and intra-USA migration play only a part of the decline. Basically it's simple math. In order for any population to not decline each woman has to produce at least 2.1 babies (the extra 0.1 is to cancel out childhood deaths). The average American woman has only 1.8 Here are two...

    California Population Growth Lowest In History

    It not just NY. Just about every state in the Northeast has seen their population slowly declining. NY, CT, Mass and Vermont are all offering big tax incentives to college graduates to not leave the state after graduation. The last thing these states want is to have sizable population...

    Recommend news based event driven EA?

    What you are describing is difficult, but not impossible, for an individual trader to accomplish. This part is not too difficult, you can get streaming news from many sources including Interactive Broker and IQFeed. This part is incredibly difficult. What keywords could you possibly trust...

    5 ways to cash in as ‘e-sports’ becomes more popular than pro football

    A misleading headline. The number of GLOBAL e-sports viewers may exceed NFL viewers, but most of the world doesn't watch the NFL. They watch soccer, and for any major soccer match such as a World Cup game, they are probably 4 times as many viewers as the largest e-sports event.
