    Stupid argument! So stupid, in fact, that's enough for you... on the very first post you've made that I've recognized... to make my ON IGNORE list!

    Trump Tax Reform - a total squeeze on middle class W2 workers

    Speaking of "Fairness In Taxation"... We all know it's a CRIME to discriminate against others on the basis of religion, color, ethnicity, race, sexual preference, gender, and who knows WTF else... even WEIGHT! But it's OK to discriminate against INCOME! And yet nobody bitches. Tsk, tsk. Why...

    Trump Tax Reform - a total squeeze on middle class W2 workers

    Of course. The only fair and Constitutional way to levy income tax is as a "flat tax". If there is to be a "low income" exemption... say, $30-$40K, EVERYBODY GETS IT! Amounts above the exempt level is flat rate... same for everyone. Progressive tax rates are a tool of power and control...

    "Bitcoin Explodes Above $7000.. Then Crashes $600"... theory as to why

    BTC fundamentals... investors have the "wind at your back", apparently.

    Trump Tax Reform - a total squeeze on middle class W2 workers

    Like Odumbo liked to say... "If the rich only paid (yet again) a little bit more"... Unfortunately, that has never been "one and done". More akin to blackmail. Once the "initial payoff" is spent, they come back for more... and with a gun to your head, of course. :(

    Trump Tax Reform - a total squeeze on middle class W2 workers

    Why not? I'm not one of the "rich" who gets to take advange of "loopholes" to evade taxes. I'm not one of the "beneficiaries of wealth distribution". I'm one of the "tax donkeys"... regardless of any new "tax reforms", my taxes always GO UP!! :(

    "Bitcoin Explodes Above $7000.. Then Crashes $600"... theory as to why

    Working hypothesis... BTC is primarily a vehicle for (1) laundering drug money, and (2) Chinese getting money out of the country, getting around government's capital controls. The large fluctuations in price, both up and down, are because somebody with large money "badly needs" or "badly wants"...

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    [Baron] ".....The main reason that BTC isn't going away anytime soon is the exact same reason why you see so many other crypto coins never achieving anywhere near the same level of success as Bitcoin. You see, Bitcoin has always had the one thing that these other coins don't have. And what's...

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    Not contradictory.... may seem so because they occur in close proximity. First one, then the other. Whipsaws are a cost of doing business. Catching a whipsaw is of course costly, but missing a move because you were trying to avoid a whipsaw is even more costly to your P/L. "Resistance"...

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    Traders sure are sensitive about that word. Discussing trading is like arguing religion. Smart to do neither, so I'll just go on "predicting the future" like I always have.

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    I disagree with your disagreement about your understanding and the use of the word "predict".

    What was the first book you read on anything related to Wall Street ?

    "The Shy Stegosaurus Of Cricket Creek"... didn't understand the metaphor at the time.

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    More true than not, sadly.

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    Ditto. There is much "randomness and noise" in the markets... but it's not all random.

    Is it possible to make consistent profits from trading

    To a degree, trading is about predicting the future.... But not the future as you've described.

    Norwegian Mining Company Launches First Asset-Backed ICO

    Sounds a lot like the USA.... waaaay back when.... we issued paper money that was actually backed by something... like GOLD AND SILVER!

    Which would u rather be short -- SPX @ 2600 or Bitcoin @ 7000?

    I think I'd rather be short the SPX @ 2600. (Probably lose less money, slower)
