    I doubt this impeachment has much of a chance of passing in the Senate but even if it did, wouldn't that be bullish? Pence is not as volatile as Trump and would probably want to cut a deal with China ASAP

    Trump thinks its politically profitable to battle China, but it will no longer be if that produces a bear market or a recession before an election. Therefore he will not do that as he is not stupid.

    I'm not going crazy on it because there is the chance the US is headed to recession soon, before BRK has a chance to pop over $210-$215 but the most likely scenario is for the stock to pop higher within a few months

    Ackman is now buying BRK shares, I agree with him. Its a good entry bellow $200. Buffett's buyback is probably running on all cylinders right now

    If you have just open a $2000 account,what would you do?

    Ya. The unemployment rate is like at all time lows, any new trader need to consider that they could be pulling $50k doing something else. Also, working from home without a boss sounds awesome but its actually quite unfulfiling, there is quite a connection between people that are self-employed...

    Suggestion to Interactive Brokers - Buy DAS, the trading software company

    Buy DAS, the trading software company. IB TWS is great for swing, position trading and investing. For daytrading I find it difficult to deal with as its not as fast and dynamic like DAS, the loss of flexbility and speed can cost me a lot so I pay for DAS for IB. Java is not known for its speed...

    Yes. However I would caution towards using this as a guide for the future (as the author of the article did). I dont think it means anything going forward. The current Fed is super different from the old Fed. Starting from 2011 and 2012/2013 they started pretty much telling people exactly what...

    There is a word for people like Roubini and that is hypocrite "We'll admit to being a bit perplexed at Nouriel Roubini's personal investment strategy and how it compares to the advice he gives on the pages of his RGE Monitor. Last we heard, Dr. Doom was 100% long, and invested in index funds...

    With all that said, it IS possible that the market is deciding that bitcoin IS an alternative to gold, a younger brother if you will. Digital gold like Novogratz says, if that is the case, how would things look like? You would see it rising in price, more and more people keeping their money in...

    Yeah, I have no idea if BTC will work out long-term and I dont care. Its a beautiful story, it captures people emotional brain like nothing else, combine that with the whole 'hodl' mentality and history of appreciation (and all the gag to riches story) this is a perfect market to go absolutely...

    Absolutely. I wrote about this before, if bears who calls things 'bubbles' kept P&L tab on a hypotetical short positions in these supposed bubbles they would discover -That P&L is massively negative -Some of these bubbles turn out not to be bubbles years and years later Roubini is a guy who...
