    Net neutrality

    It's all part of Trickle Down Economics. If the businesses make more money, they will hire and invest more. It's pretty logical. Once they kill Obamacare and cut entitlements, we might start to see a looser labor force and lower wages and that will make America great again.

    Wash sales

    The 3k loss is ridiculous. If you look at the wash sale and straddle rule - they were designed to remove loopholes in the code which is probably a good thing.

    Ray Dalio on Failure, Meaningful Work and Relationships

    Even within your team though it's not obvious if the right trade is long or short and a judgment has to be made. That is where the challenge is and I suspect there is wisdom in his philosophy on how to resolve that; I just haven't figured it out yet.
