    An ET Bumper Sticker.

    Could be. Sometimes it's not wise to stick your neck out too far, especially politically.

    An ET Bumper Sticker.

    I have never put a bumper stick on my car... but if Baron were to come up with one which says... "FUCK THE DEMOCRATS... Anti-American Commie Bastards"... I would spring for $2.

    Arizona Senate Bill To Allow Tax Payments In Bitcoin...Typical "Head Up Your Butt" legislation

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-02-11/arizona-senate-passes-bill-allow-tax-payments-bitcoin So.... instead of the tax payer "converting his BTC to $USD and paying the tax"... he can now pay with Bitcoin. And with BTC's volatility... When is the tax considered "paid" and at what value the...

    Trump declares war on MS-13 gang

    President vows to change America’s ‘sad, weak and pathetic immigration laws’ and again pledges to end the lottery system. "...MS-13, also known as Mara Salvatrucha, was started by Central American immigrants, mainly from El Salvador, in Los Angeles in the 1980s. The gang expanded to include...

    IB overnight initial for 1 YM contract $9153.54

    Whoa man, I think you are waaaayyy off the mark. 1. In the '87, crash, Refco "discouraged SP trading.. but required $50,000 margin if the trader insisted". That high margin was to protect the trader as much as to protect the company. 2. Bull or Bear market... that's not the issue. It's a...

    Did any technicals predict the melt down?

    Ditto. I don't believe the crashette was telegraphed other than "something like this was due and bound to happen sometime". However... a trader could have been pretty much "on it" buy taking the technical trades as they occurred (with no expectations beyond a "normal move") and then have...

    Pelosi's "Stance" On Immigration

    Bottom in?

    I'd like to see SPX 200ma tested @ 2530-ish during RTH for a possible "bottom is in" play. If that were to happen, we'd have a "2x/matched low with the ES.. and perhaps a "mini-'87 crash" price formation to play.

    Hypocrisy and debt: Budget deal will continue the spending surplus an hour ago

    Yeah.... and people in Hell want ice water. :(

    Is this pull back the start of a bear market?

    Doubt we'll ever see that. With the copious amount of debt issued at low rates, no way we can afford to service it at 8%. We'll see hyperinflation and/or severe currency debasement before 8% long rates.

    Trump to bar legal immigrants who use lawful entitlements from permanent residency

    Yeah... until the Dems got the bright idea... "Get 'em in here anyway possible..by hook or by crook... ignore immigration law as necessary.... we'll work out the details later and have them as Dem voters." Whatever harm that causes the country or strain on public welfare... we'll just sweep...

    Japanese Candle Stick - The hammer and Hanging man

    Yes, either. Most reliable on daily charts (not shorter time frames) AND at potential "bottom/top of a swing". Both infer "possible rejection of swing continuance".

    George W. Bush: It’s Pretty Clear That Russia Meddled in 2016 Election

    Bush is on my list of "Worst Presidents" and the only Republican. Even Jimmie Carter isn't on it.. (I see Carter as "innefective" and "milktoast". That's waaayy different from Bush and Odumbo and their "doing great harm to our country".) With the Bush and Odumbo administrations, America has...

    Buying Put Options instead of Shorting

    There is no "perfect" hedge. The point of hedging is to "protect the bulk" of the asset. Any hedge will work if called upon.... to a degree. Which will/would have worked best? Won't know until after the fact. You can't realistically hedge "spreads", you can't hedge "noise".... just cover...

    Orbán Vows to ‘Fight Those Who Want to Change the Christian Identity of Europe’

    “Our presidency has taken a stand: we cannot give in to extortion. For us, Hungary is first ______________________________________________________________________ Good on him and Hungary! FUCK THE EU AND THEIR UNELECTED, POWER-HUNGRY, LEFTY-COMMIE GLOBALIST BUREAUCRATS!! I'd like to see a...

    XIV margin call at Questrade.......any recourse?

    HOGWASH... STUPID THINK! The broker has no financial incentive to "force your liquidation"... There is no "upside" for him, only downside if things "get out of hand". A broker's forced liquidation is to protect both itself and you... from running debits you may not be able to honor... and he's...

    I don't actually have anything against Donald Trump

    You sir are a FUCKING IDIOT! Please crawl into a hole and spare us all from your nonsense and bilge.

    XIV & SVXY... An Extreme Lesson in TA

    Proper "Price TA" would have had the longs out @ 120-130 for both. Problem comes in when the trader presumes a dip to be a "noise counter which should be ridden-out". Lots of times it is, sometimes not. This one was a "NOT"... and with unfortunate and extreme consequences. The Lesson... If...
