Like I said the U.S.A. is a developed nation - comparisons are made with the same. Do we have more gang member sure - funny how the top 10 gun death states were not exactly the big gangsta hot spots. I just follow the facts. Chicago & Detroit did even make the top 10 list. 2016 CDC Top 10...

Comparing the U.S. to the above mentioned countries is misleading. The U.S. measures itself against other developed (wealthy) nations with economies & technology infrastructure that puts them in a comparable leauge. If you set the bar low than sure, the U.S. is not the worst in gun homicides...

My ideal setup would be to be for my daytrading to be $500-$1k+ a day. I recall and old T.V. commercial promoting their system for day trading making $1,000 a day trading the morning open. It showed a young couple beaming with euphoria. The guy was making his morning trade with a laptop while...

Plenty of brilliant people when given other people $ to manage started of with good intentions - a few bad trades start cascading loses, a few bills start stacking up and next thing you know you have a full blown Ponzi scheme. Not using a legit RIA that is using a reputable fiduciary for...

The Topix contract has a huge margin requirement & the mini has a small $ price fluctuation - like on avg around $225 the last time I checked using ATR20. I like using the Nikkie225(Yen) traded on the SGX - it has good liquidity nearly around the clock great for those trading unconventional hours.

60% of gun related deaths in the U.S. are from suicides...more than homicides. The USA is the extreme outlier in suicides by guns, accidental shootings, murders with guns, and mass shootings. For an alcoholic to get sober the firs step they make is to admit to themselves they have a problem...

This comedian has has is the best gun violence solution of all times! One more just destroys the pro gun arguments. Part #2

Well that's a weak argument when in the USA you are 22 more likely of being killed by guns than any other industrialized nation. In fact gun deaths in the USA has surpassed vehicle accidents in deaths - that was unimaginable not long ago and the trend is rising. Can someone use other means to...

1,000 mass shootings after Sandy Hook, and death/injury rate per event are soaring. Why is this happening? Greedy politicians! The vast majority being Republicans & a few Democrats put their personal profits over public safety. They want to roll out silencers, more lethal armor piercing...

not sure what weak liquidity you think there is in VX... In the ETH the VX trades only several contracts in a 5 minute window a large portion of the time and slippage will cost you. The other ugly thing is you are required to use a stop limit. VX is a bear for trading in the ETH. I can get...

Blue chip ---> Dow Jones Industrial 30. May not be the exact definition - but this will give you an idea of what is blue chip.

Whoever has the $ makes the rules. Overnight brought up a good point - brokers have the right to liquidate your positions as your losses mount, even if have not hit the maint margin level. That was in all that fine print we sign off on opening the acct. You want to have enough cash in your acct...

To answer Gloria The VX futures tick is 0.05/$50 per contract - that is the CME contract spec. The key advantage of the VX futures is it's traded 23 hours a day. It's more expensive than an ETF as far as costs to enter/exit. It's not good for short term asymmetrical trading, maybe better for...

Ever wonder why a number of old timer futures traders jump on the spot market to trade currencies? This was posted Peter Brandt - a wildly successful 40+ years futures trader that endorses using spot Fx over futures. You should use a regulated broker with a clean record - for both Fx &...

Initial is what you have to have to open the position. Maint margin is where you are booted out/auto liquidated. You can always add more $ as your melt down nears the maint level. Look for the button 'check margin' in the order entry window under advanced - this shows the initial & maint...

Trading in casino mode and a few get lucky. Problem is they always end up giving it back since the reckless nature of taking on way to much leverage always catches up to you. Better to have a real good risk mgmt plan - dreamers get slaughtered.. or was that pigs?

And the reason why that persons IRA was at $0 balance was very likely from blowing up on prior failures - if that is even real.

What I guess you make that argument since nothing is guaranteed to remain the same than everything could be considered to have probabilities - although outlined from a historical perspective this is the nature of markets going back to the 17th century. So yea - I see your point of view. I...

I was asleep at the wheel - was to busy using my Roku. There is a lot more meat on the bone.
