The Issue Date ("ID") has nothing to do with delivery instructions. The ID merely sets the base for interest accruals: 1) How much accrual (how many days) will be charged on your buy confirm, number of days from ID to your settlement date. Treasuries are counted actual days in the holding...

That's called a "Pedestal Desk". Either 60" wide or 72" wide (the one in the pic looks 60") I have one, brand is "Council Craftsmen", 72" wide. These suckers are solid. Mine weighs 400 pounds empty The gold standard for these desks is probably the manufacturer called Kittinger (Buffalo, NY). A...

All the info (to not become a bagholder) is in the chart. You just have to stare at enough charts that the nuances sink in.

Folks here asking for "setups" How does a successful trader to that? Here's a siimple one Simple Moving Averages Loads of good tutorials on TA. I use Stockcharts.com. Huge documentation. And here's why people use SMAs (loads of smart TA folks here as well) SMA TA rules: The 50 SMA must be...

Ray Dalio is already on record saying that the 2024 Presidential election will be a mess. He says neither Party will accept a defeat. Maybe a Civil War, as the Russian guy says.

Yes, all true. Google the phrase "Doom Loop". That might also fit in.

Good points, but the most interesting part of watching $WTIC here is that everything the FED has done this year (raising interest rates) is designed to kill the inflation monster. It's called "Demand destruction." So ... after FED tightening, what if Crude Oil still wants to go higher. What can...

Incorrect. Swing traders hold for short-term to one year + 1 day. Your amo fire at Buffett is completely off target. He is by many admissions a very "off-hands" investor. By contrast mega-dudes like Carl Icahn (I'm a big fan of his) are very "pro-active". ***Mega-dudes are a several levels above...

Just cut it out, Complaining doesn't work in most aspect of life. Not going to help here, trading securities. Expend the energy learning something else (TA, Fundies, etc) You will be a happier person for it.

Short Term trades are less than one year. Long Term trades are one year + 1 day. Can't be more simple than that. Year after year, this is a huge difference. *** For maybe many posters here, this is a revelation. They are just trying t have a winning trade at any timeframe. Thus all the hostile...

Wow, amazing the "trigger fingers" of so many people here. He only takes Long Term Gains., and has his office staff tell about their personal tax rates, as a comparison. Robin Hood in reverse. Perfect narrative for people who don't think it through. You people here: Sounds like huge...

What is the Kulmangi bandwagon? I don't think I am on it, and probably don't want to ever be on it

Well, I think its a much better idea to call Buffett a "Swing trader", than somebody who has successfully trades multiple decades of Stockmarket, profitably. The time frame is not that important. It' s the capgain/caploss that counts. And long term tax rate versus short term tax rate. Nothing...

I did not see it mentioned, but there is a huge difference between Day Trading and Swing Trading. OP did not actually specify, but seems likely he is a Day Trader. I find that Swing Trading is much less stressful, but may take time. And Swing trading requires capital. The most famous Swing...

Old saying: "The toughest million to make is your first million." You didn't say where you are on that yardstick. So, stick with the day job until you clear that bar.

Holdings of DBA (from Yahoo finance) *** The big difference between AGs and precious metals is that the FED can cap Gold and Silver. Capping precious metals creates shortages, as the miners are discouraged from bringing ores to market, due to the low prices. And who cares right now about...

I think your boundaries are whether to be the biggest voice in an empty theater. Or nothing. Einstein has nothing to do with it.

A very sober assessment. I agree. I saw Carl Icahn interviewed on Crypto. He just said "I don't understand it". That was the understatement from an MVP pro.

Good if you are: * short bonds * long commodities or * owe a lot of money at a fixed interest rate. Bad for everybody else.
