    Are We On The Brink Of Civil War?

    I don't see it as "conservatives vs. Lefties/socialists". The conservative side does NOT want violence and a civil war. We want the Lefties to STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING! The Lefty side however intends "winning at all costs"... which includes bloodshed. Things are not "boiling over" so far...

    can i trust lightspeed with my money?

    I've been out of the regulatory loop for a while... but does SIPC insure the futures accounts of Wedbush?

    "Are those Democrats or Republicans out there?"

    This shooting is just another example of the fact, "THE LEFT TOTALLY INTENDS UPON WINNING"! Whatever it takes. Nothing is beyond the pale for them. The Left will not back off; their believers/followers are brainwashed. They will do everything politically possibly (like they're trying to do...

    Dubs vs Cavs - Who will be the 2017 Champions?

    Just saw an article about whether the Warriors will accept a Trump invitation to the WH in celebration of their NBA championship. The team said, "we'll do what our leader does (Curry)". Curry says "no". (They went to the WH 2 years ago when Odumbo was pres.) So... Curry has revealed himself...

    Virginia Governor Calls For Gun Control At Scene Of Scalise Shooting

    Of course he does. (Yawn!) What we really need is "universal carry"... every citizen armed who cares to be. The bad guys would be mostly scared shitless to start any trouble as they know they'll soon be tasting lead themselves...

    Sick of Nothingburger

    Yes, you're free to spew your Lefty, anti-America BS... and I'm free to not be forced to listen to it. ON IGNORE!!

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    Personally, I haven't found volume to be of value. In fact, more of a distraction. Sometimes volume and price go along together. Sometimes not. Besides, you don't get rewarded for having your play be "in tune with volume", whatever that would mean.

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    "Fairy dust"? Sounds like you're looking for "iron-clad" decisions. There aren't any.

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    Personally, I find no value in the concept of ATR.... just as there is nothing which is "indicative of a sustainable move". Of course you always hope a move is sustained, but the reality is that you have to "figure it out on the fly".

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    It's not a matter of "what works today might not work tomorrow". To be a good trader, you need to focus on PRICE! To require a "price signal be confirmed by other parameters before you act" (such as volume, indicators, divergences, etc.) does you no good at all. Two problems... (1) the...

    Using Average True Range (ATR) at key levels

    Here's a controversial thought... "There is no such thing as (real) confirmation."

    Another Obama Failure

    That's your view and mine. But if you accept the notion, as do I, that Odumbo intentionally hose America at every turn... as it was and still is his desire to see America destroyed... then he was quite successful, sadly.

    Liberals just cant understand why Colin Kaepernick isnt getting signed.

    "Free speech" in the sense that, regardless of what you say, you won't be incarcerated or hauled behind the dumpster and get a bullet behind your ear. That doesn't mean those impacted by what you say will just "take it" without consequence. The NFL has a public image... much of which is about...

    Who's Got the Best Pizza?

    This weekend I happened to catch The Travel Channel's show, "Food Paradise"... Pizza edition. In the 1-hour episode, they have time to showcase 5 pizza places.... Beau Jo's was one of them. Hard to claim "best pizza in the country", but Beau Jo's is a legit contender. FWIW...

    Liberals just cant understand why Colin Kaepernick isnt getting signed.

    Looks like the NFL is treating Kap like a "stain".... much like apparently the whole world is treating Kathy Griffin. While one is entitled to free speech, doesn't mean words/deeds are free from consequences.

    McCain: American leadership was better under Obama

    If by "leadership" you mean "leading the US down the path of destruction as fast as he could get away with", then yeah.

    4 Lessons Learned from 30 Years of Trading

    If you as an investor "really understand fundamentals", they can be of use to you. Like Buffett... but he spends lots of time and money to "drill down" data to find companies which he believes are fundamentally underpriced. Then he buys a big chunk of them and waits until the undervaluation is...

    4 Lessons Learned from 30 Years of Trading

    "Price Chart TA" is one of the ways to succeed in the market. I wouldn't say "breakouts only happen with fundamental news"... but it really doesn't matter "why" the breakout, does it? Besides, the breakout move will likely be well on its way by the time YOU find out the fundamental news.
