Aesthetics matter to all but us engineer types, and even we have moments of weakness. You're going to have a hard time getting anyone to think a conex box is anything but ugly. You can convince at least a few people a tiny house is cute.

There's always a apocryphal story going around Hawaii that the homeless problem is a result of well-meaning people on the mainland buying one-way tickets for the homeless to Hawaii. Easy to believe when you see the scale of the problem there, but haven't found any hard evidence that it's true.

Impressive results right up until the last month when it looks like it took a 20% nosedive, or am I misreading it? That's what I always end up with when I overfit in backtesting, great results all the way until I take it "live", i.e. forward testing.

Hard for me to defend botpro, but really? It's one thing to believe in TA, it's another to believe that you can't be a consistently profitable trader unless you are familiar with TA!

Sorry, yes. And ETcallhome's point on that is certainly valid as well. At least the "more loss than you made all month part", won't comment on the pregnant part.

You're right of course, if you're learning you want to stay super small and as flat as you can, i.e. 1 lot and immediately move to sell side after you buy. And to take your point, sell what you're holding EOD even if at a loss. You'll in all probability lose money but it's not like selling naked...

They're the market makers. In many markets they're designated and have to always post a bid and an ask. Nothing stops you from posting an identical price and receiving the same order fill, just keep in mind that it's first in line when it comes to order matching. You could also post a price $.01...

But how to short these is the million dollar question. Between punishing short borrow rates, collateral requirements, and just complete inability to find the stock to borrow in order to short I've found it very hard to do in practice. Would love to hear tips from anyone who's had success in this...

After consideration of your post I’m going to say thank you, I appreciate you pointing this out. I live in a world where vigorous exchange of ideas is the key to success. Not only do I welcome someone telling me when I’m going down the wrong path, I’d be pissed if they didn’t and upset if they...

OK then, you have a great night as well!

I think you guys are conflating the OP's question about state taxes into answers about federal taxes. There's no question that U.S. citizens are subject to U.S. tax regardless of where they physically live or how they earn their money. The U.S. has tax treaties with many countries that allow you...

Are you saying I'm not a pilot with over 3000 hours of flight time, or I am but I don't actually know how to fly and your second hand anecdotes from "grizzled veteran commercial pilots" trump my actual first hand experience? I'm confused. Seems I hit the white stripes at the end of the runway...

That's rich, he tells picks a physicist and an electrical engineer/pilot to "educate" on the physics of the 9/11 attacks, how the pilots couldn't have flown the planes, and how embedded controls work. This from the guys who appears to either not have completed the 10th grade yet or just never...

I guess I failed to mention to you that my time as a military officer was as a pilot, over 3000 hours of flight time, probably should have told you that in advance so you wouldn't end up looking like such a jackass when you tried to tell me how planes are flown. So once again, you lose on the...

You are just trying so very very hard to avoid my question about why you aren't taking me up on the offer to place a Faraday Cage around your trailer. It would be painful to watch if it weren't so fun! Yes I do happen to know a lot about physics and you appear to know very little, which didn't...

Wow, thanks for the look at your thought processes, fascinating stuff. Again though, why are you ignoring the Faraday Cage? You're a bright beacon of hope for freedom and TRUTH. If some descendent of the British East India Company is going to use the government to stage a car crash to kill...

They're getting closer, seriously. You need that Faraday Cage, that's the capital T TRUTH! Don't you value your trailer? Your life at least? Why do you ignore the section of my reply when I talk to you in your language? Did I outcrazy crazy? And how are we talking about twin tower collapses...

OK, I understand. You know nothing about electrical engineering or civil engineering or physics, but try to tell me I'm an idiot, haven't I heard of "Boston brakes" and "jumbo jet wngine's". And "PHYSICS and COMMON SENSE" contradict the 9/11 report. Then when it turns out I do in fact know a...

I know a lot about embedded systems, did some work on that while getting my electrical engineering degree. Ironically I actually built a steering control for a boat for my controls class and we had to test it on an actual boat underway. How about you, what's your background in this area? I know...

No, actually I've carefully reviewed the information and even been present for a couple of these so-called "conspiracies" and have reached my own conclusions that the conspiracy explanation has a vanishingly small probability of being correct while the rational explanation has a huge probability...
