Maybe they'll let me change the settings! But I'll have to check every day to make sure a software update does not put me back to trading my life for someone else's.

Makes sense. How can one tell if we are heading for deflation, versus old-fashioned recession?

Stockmarketmap, I like your set of maxims. Hope people on this site will benefit from them.

Well, great! I'll be there for it, with bells on. My signal is telling me to get out now, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes again. Do you think falling rates will trigger another round of careless lending?

The atty has been in this situation before. The OP clearly has not. The atty may know what is going to work. This forum is full of people guessing what's going to work, and is of no use to the unfortunate OP.

Of course if I am driving the car, I'm going to do whatever saves MY life. The hell with my car and with everyone else and their car. But I might not be adept enough, in a split second, to figure out what that course of action is.

Yes, rather have AI than humans, especially some of the ones I know. These errors will get worked out. I'm sure humans were just as concerned when their horses and buggies were supplanted 100+ years ago. Also, AI might be something like vaccinations: once everyone has one, you can stop...

People get bored. A system that works is boring, and one constantly wants to hunt for another system that is even better. There is nothing wrong with that; all you have to do is remember that hunting and shooting are two different things. I get bored and want to raid the junk food in the...

I've wondered about this when I've met various traders, including: - A guy who claims to be making hundreds a day off the advice given in a chat room - A guy who has never backtested his system, but claims it must work because it uses trendlines, and everyone knows that trendlines work - A gal...

So if you are so certain about the future, why not borrow all the money you can now (at a fixed rate of interest) to buy gold?

Wherever you go, just make sure they do cannot "nationalize" your business.

Caught a ride with Lyft this morning. Driver said he was an artist during the day and drove 10 to 12 hours per night, 6 nights a week. He drove like a bat out of hell, but was careful, and nice. I can't imagine anyone driving their own car that way. You would be down to the rotors in a...

But seriously, on Venezuela, I feel so badly for those people. Once Maduro is out, by hook or by crook, I hope they will elect someone who cares about them. We need a large, inaccessible island where we can put all the megalomaniacs and all the WMDs. We can throw Assad, Maduro, Kim Jong Un...

Sounds good, but what would we put on the dollar? George Washington or a loon?

It's best not to throw away any tax record or supporting documentation, ever. There are statutes of limitations for errors, but not for tax fraud. Even if you have not done anything fraudulent, you need to be able to show that you haven't, and you need to be able to show it until you die and...

What do you think is helpful about playing poker? Is it the ability to embrace probability, manage money, or the ability to spot your opponent's weaknesses? Or something else?

Have been in this over much of the last 3+ years. Sold it all yesterday. Thanks, Janet.

Why would anyone quit when they are successful? Once wants and needs are met and a reasonable degree of comfort provided, there is no need to do more. But doesn't everyone have a fantasy expenditure? Mine is the locked cabinet at Total Wine. How fun it would be to choose anything, without...

Yes, atheist for 35 years or so now. I was raised as a Catholic. The religion asked me to believe in all sorts of invisible things and unprovable dogmas, mostly handed down by old white men. I was questioning this well before there were any child molestation cases being talked about. It just...
