    Has anyone turned 5 figures into 7-8 in a few years?

    It's unrealistic to compare your hopes to the "one who did the best".... perhaps he was "one in a million and just lucky"... you know, like the guy who put $1,000 into Bitcoin 10 years ago? Realistically, you should hope to make a consistent return of 20% annually on total capital... all along...

    Holding 3x etf long term

    OK, I was overly dramatic. If any of you have any question about this, just run up the charts and see what I mean. It's as obvious as the nose on your face. But lemme add... if you can't think through the issue of "always wrong to play a leveraged EFT" (just because "somebody said so") vs...

    Holding 3x etf long term

    OK, Got you. I don't suffer fools gladly, so... UP YOURS! ON IGNORE!!

    Holding 3x etf long term

    In the real world, "how they're structured" only matters for day-to-day volatility. You're "fishin' in a dry hole" if you think otherwise. Why don't you run up a comparative charts of non-leveraged ETFs vs leveraged... since 2009. You tell us all "how may times would it have been harmful to...

    Holding 3x etf long term

    SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE! Just run the charts. The "decay" is small and not all that fast compared to the leveraged rise in prices. GEEZUS CHRIST! How dense can you be? You've obviously already listened to other dumbasses who pontificate, "its always wrong to play a leveraged ETF", so why bother...

    Paraphrasing Bannon.....

    Yeah, but they still had to queue up for their ration of toilet paper!

    Holding 3x etf long term

    When you catch a longer move. For example, run a relative chart of the QQQ and TQQQ... leveraged Nasdaq... or some other period in energy when the price of oil was rising.

    Paraphrasing Bannon.....

    That's a BS, Leftist political banner... "everyone ends up equal, or we're not successful". (In reality what that means is, "everybody equal but poor... except for those/us... the ruling elite.") "Everyone equal" is the goal of Socialism/Progressivsm... that's TOTAL, ANTI-AMERICAN PRINCIPLES...

    Holding 3x etf long term

    There are times when holding a leveraged ETF long term will do you harm.... volatility against you, cost decay. There are other times when holding a leveraged ETF long term... is exactly the right thing to do. Likely would be worth your while to learn the difference.

    boring stoxx50 futures

    It's like the ES in America. Many/most traders have the notion right now that "the Fed has the market's back" and won't allow it to decline (if it can help it, of course). So, very little selling => boring, low volatility.

    Why are my Graphics cards failing so often ?

    Sometimes computers are surprisingly resilient. Other times, doesn't take much to mess 'em up.

    Paraphrasing Bannon.....

    "...You don't expect the Left to allow you to take your country back without a fight, do you?"... Bannon ________________________________________________________ Lots of turmoil going on these days. Trump trying to MAGA, while Leftyies fighting to bludgeon us into their version of Socialism...

    Two tax questions

    Likely not. If you want health insurance premiums to be deductible, you'll likely need to establish and work out of a "C" corporation. Health insurance premiums can be deductible for "employees".... even if you're a one-man corp. Also, you might want to have provisions for "reimbursement of...

    The biggest most notorious liar known to man

    Another big lie! Considering he promoted an $800B bill for "shovel-ready projects"... when in actuality, there were no such jobs.. the money went to shore-up union pension shortfalls. (DemoCrap voters, of course) :(

    In Praise of Trump ... finally winning... our President

    Except for Odumbo, of course. :(

    Markets top imminent, or "melt-up"?

    Top pickers so far have been wrong. Advocates of "market melt-up" still looking good. Chart guy that I am... and while not "pounding the table" with any prediction... I can envision this rally continuing for perhaps another year. IOW... it could be that we are not even "all that close" to the...

    Former Army Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl Pleads Guilty To Desertion

    Odumbo traded 4 (or was it 5?) ISIS Jihadi Generals for this POS! (Yeah... like THAT deal was in America's best interest!) http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-16/former-army-sergeat-bowe-bergdahl-pleads-guilty-desertion Odumbo deserves our ultimate contempt! (Bergdahl, too, of course.) :(

    The biggest most notorious liar known to man

    I've OP and others ON IGNORE, so I can't see what others have posted. However, let me chime in with this.... My view is that Odumbo is the consummate political liar! I doubt he ever spoke a truthful word during his administration. And in so doing, did IMMEASURABLE HARM TO AMERICA!!... not...

    Can you identify this charting software ?

    Those are common technical tools. Should be able to be created with just about any software.

    Why would Bridgewater hedge fund hold 87% of equity assets in simple ETF's? Theories?

    A significant part of the market is psychological, and ETFs are an easier way to play that. IOW... manager thinks, "oil is good here", or "emerging markets", or "tech", etc. Instead of sifting through each space to pick individual stocks, he goes with the ETF instead. Completely logical...
