    Yields are crashing - That spells trouble !

    If you "have it in mind" as it develops, you might have a chance of caching it. The current environment, if understood and played correctly, could have a HUGE impact on the "final rise" and "ultimate top". This a time for all traders to be paying "maximum attention".... could be the biggest...

    US's birth rate felt and dodo birds in bow ties thinks immigration is the solution

    Unfettered immigration has never been the solution to ANYTHING... yet rather a HUGE source of problems. (The native Americans welcomed European settlers onto N. American land.. and look what happened to THEM poor bastards!) France "welcomed" Muslim invaders into their country, and look how...

    Yields are crashing - That spells trouble !

    LOL! Before I've said in advance what I think might be developing... and have been wrong too often, but occasionally spot-on. What I'm thinking now is likely going to happen... if not at 3600, elsewhere... playing that by ear. However, the move since the covid low in 2020, "needs" a 4th wave...

    US's birth rate felt and dodo birds in bow ties thinks immigration is the solution

    Birthrate fell.... 1. The cost of raising a child is waaaaaay high. 2. Conscientious parents think it cruel to bring children into this SHIT WORLD!

    Yields are crashing - That spells trouble !

    Stocks down, bonds up. Investors getting defensive. How long will that last? Just a correction?? Interesting... I saw a story today about a hedge fund manager saying he is "shorting tech". That story was soon thereafter pulled. I guess "the powers" don't want anyone/investors seeing...

    Undertrading vs Overtrading.. your thoughts?

    If a trader is making lots of good trades, he's likely undertrading rather than overtrading,IMV.

    Ask The Cubans: Can Communism Mean Anything Other Than A Two-Tier Society?

    This is EXACTLY what the DemoCraps have in mind for the US. It's the goal of Leftism all through time and across the globe. Socialism, Progressivism, Communism, Marxism, Nazism, Dictatorships... all birds of a feather. I hope enough people in America wake up, soon enough. :(...

    CITI offer. Legit?

    You think "that's shopping"... check out auto and homeowners insurance. The premium difference can be HUGE* between companies offering the same coverage. *Example... The General quoted me $4,995** annual for my 2 cars. Hartford quoted $1,360. The diff in homowners was even greater. Shop...

    CITI offer. Legit?

    That's more of a common deal. Even more common, "spend $5000 in 90 days and earn a credit of ___. ($500?) A couple of times I've taken advantage of such to pay my annual insurance package bill of currently ~ $7,000. But having to deposit $200K?", ... that's different.

    CITI offer. Legit?

    Your arithmetic needs a little help. More like 4.5% annualized.(1500/200,000 = .75% x 6 = 4.5%) Citi is banking* upon those with a "handy $200K" are flush and are likely big spenders... where Citi can capture CC fees on substantial purchases to offset their "$1500 sign-up" bonus. Most offered...

    The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday

    One could write a thesis on that. "How do they get the ball to curve like that?" Believe it or not, it's physics. The ball manufacturers have learned how to "make it automatic" by the design of the internal weight block and the external "grippy" reactive resin cover. Bowling today is almost...

    The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday

    Like they say in golf... "the toughest obstacle is the 6" between your ears". A waaay long ago old-timer I knew... from the Count Jengler era

    The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday

    A rather big deal. If you're not succeeding, more likely our plan needs revision. "Get your plan right" and "execute it with discipline"... rewards will follow. Trust me on this. :)

    The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday

    Don't feel too bad about yourself... you're likely in the majority. Obvious... your "rules" need reworking.... and/or your disciple to execute. I'm not being intentionally critical... the "problems of working it out" are the same for all of us.

    The unreasonable effectiveness of just showing up everyday

    Yes to all of that except for one important thing. You must LEARN PROPER TECHNIQUE... THEN, practice, practice, practice. I used to be a professional bowler. (And I was good enough to be included in the USBC Hall of Fame... so I know of what I speak.) I knew a guy who practiced all the...

    IBKR TWS Stop with protection for stocks, execution priorities?

    IMV, you're being "penny wise and pound foolish"... that is, carping about a fill on a stop order. Stops are all about preserving capital. You don't necessarily get to "measure it to the tic". In a panic situation, you hope to get out "decently", with no guarantee you will.. as you already...

    More and More, Powell Comes Across As A Dickhead Dillitante

    Used to be, a "$Billion here and there" was real money. My, how times have changed. Remember the old TV show, "The Millionaire"? If you had that today, you'd have "pocket money"... at least for now. :(

    More and More, Powell Comes Across As A Dickhead Dillitante

    Probably. "Loose money from the Fed"... is something all (irresponsible) governments want. It provides the "cover" for their immoral deficit spending/theft. :(
