    How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

    Absolutely agree. What I disagree with is the assertion... "with experience, you can filter out the "go" from the "no go". If you could filter out the "good from the bad"... and as in your example... you would not have the "5 flat,1 negative"... those would be filtered out, and you wouldn't...

    How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

    Sorry, I don't understand your question. My point is that you cannot tell "whether this opportunity will be a good one and should be taken or whether it's false and should be avoided"... except in retrospect.... and by then, it's too late to do it well.

    How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

    That is a great analogy... except for this part... Whatever experience you have does NOT tell you whether "this is a go or no go"... that cannot be known except in retrospect.... by then, it's too late to do it right.

    Disagree with almost everything in your post, buckeroo.

    How to develop decisiveness and quick reaction time?

    Partially agree. Let's say your "come to you" buy price is at support and you initiate a buy limit there. 1st, YOUR buy price is somewhat arbitrary (though support is a good place to try it) and the market may not get there at all before it turns. 2nd, what if it "turns up early"? How can...

    What would you say about a hedge fund that puts 40% of their capital in one stock?

    Well... regardless of the "source" of conviction, you still can't know... IOW, you can be "convinced as HELL" and still be wrong... trade what appears to either "make sense" or "appeals to your hope/greed"... with a stop, "just in case." I'm in favor of the "all-in" play... for the market as a...

    What would you say about a hedge fund that puts 40% of their capital in one stock?

    Like everything else, it's a guess. How accurate is the "success probability"... do you know or just assume?

    Give Me My $40 Lady!

    Still "unique" after Amazon link-up? Prices at Whole Foods came down didn't they? Less for "snobby shoppers" to feel righteous about now?? Funny, our WalMarts attract "unique" people. :)

    What would you say about a hedge fund that puts 40% of their capital in one stock?

    Saw an investor on CNBC one time who said his family had some "hundreds of $Millions", and they put it all into 2 stocks.... with the approach, "put all your eggs into one basket, then watch that basket".

    Professor Claims Math, Algebra, And Geometry Promote "White Privilege"

    Asians don't have a "racial advantage"... they don't have any sort of ethnic advantage. It's just their culture to "work hard and excel". DUH! Blacks for the most part, don't do that. Then they piss'n moan about "life ain't fair to me, whitey is holding me back". BULLSHIT!!

    Professor Claims Math, Algebra, And Geometry Promote "White Privilege"

    A University of Illinois math professor believes that algebra and geometry perpetuate “white privilege” because Greek terms give Caucasians unearned credit for the subject. Good grief... What stupid fucking cunt!! (Leftist, of course) Mathematics are "higher learning". Either you can, or...

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    Both. The 1,000+ other crypto coins don't have that... which is why they mostly languish and will likely never flourish to the expectations of their investors. Lots of crypto investors hoping theirs will be the "next BTC". Unlikely.

    Bitcoin forks: Money for nothing, sex for free

    Seems these bitcoin "forks" are like a company doing a secondary offering... increasing the shares in circulation while reducing the value of the shares before the new shares hit the market. Funny, the addition of Bitcoin Cash hasn't hurt the value of BTC, has it?

    Jesse Jackson weighs in with a doozy from the "grievance leagues"

    Supports his agenda, doesn't have to be fact.

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    Could be the best (only?) way to make profit outside BTC and a couple of other big ones is to get in on an ICO at a super-cheap insider price, if possible. Then when it hits the exchange valued at $.01, you cash out leaving the other suckers holding the bag. Would think after a few of those...

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    Under Chinese capital controls, BTC likely useful to get money out of the country... a form of money-laundering.

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    Gotta feel sorry for the poor sap who allegedly paid for 2 pizzas with 10,000 BTC. That's got to be the most expensive pizza in history!

    Crypto Currency Observations...

    I recently received an email from someone wanting to sell me something, of course... which said, "Buy Electroneum while you still can". So... I looked into the Crypto market and offer these observations... 1. The BIG players are Bitcoin* and Etherium. They and a couple of others are the ones...
