    Which one of you guys were around for the 2008 crash?

    The hallmark of bear markets in the past has not been "crashes" or "limit down" days... but rather long duration of "grind down". The time they took to play out was a big factor in the bear psycho.

    Which one of you guys were around for the 2008 crash?

    One thing I recall... Cramer was apoplectic about "Fed doesn't understand*"... CDSs run amok! :D *Maybe the Fed should get 800 PhDs... 'cause "400 ain't enough?".

    Fetterman prime example anything is possible in life

    Dem's are sooooo stupid, they'd rather elect a "vegetable" than a Republican. (I know, exaggerated and harsh... tongue-in-cheek.)

    how to remove pc noise?

    Do that. I run Dell workstations. They are not "silent" but low enough noise to live with. You can get competent ones on eBay for a few $$$ Hundred. I have 4x, T5810s in my home network running W10. When I bought them on eBay, they were $225. You might use that as a reference as to what...

    how to remove pc noise?

    I've never heard of a laptop being marketed as "no fan/noiseless"... maybe someone will chime with a rec. Suggest you look into a desktop/workstation for your trading endeavors.

    how to remove pc noise?

    1. Likely your fans are running high speed because your CPU is hot... likely your PSU also. If you can, you need to reduce the load on the CPU. 2. There are computers marketed as "silent" or "low noise"... you can look into that. 3. Get a more powerful computer than can handle your...

    “We Know When People are Bullshitting Us”

    Is The Bottom IN?

    Investors can argue any position they like. I mentioned Pento's work as I've know of it for several years. (For they last year he has advised investors be long the $USD, short equities, long T-Bills/cash equivalents.) And with P/Es still high plus earnings adjustments downward likely...

    Is The Bottom IN?

    Michael Pento (private money manager and economist) argues "no"... November 6, 2020 It has been my argument that we have yet to see the real bear. (There hasn't been a big enough decline and investors have not yet suffered "bear market psycho".) The above explains it in "valuation/GDP" terms...

    Why the initial move in opposite direction after news release?

    Close. More accurately, "shit eating". It was my concession to the Obama Presidency. :)

    Why the initial move in opposite direction after news release?

    Before news, players are positioned as to what they hope or expect. When the number comes out, some players jump on it... others scramble to protect. Leads to much quick volatility but ultimately means little beyond only the shortest term. If you don't want to play in that volatility, suggest...

    How far down was the Naz in the 2000 .com bubble burst?

    Actually, 83%. One fund I know of was a 2X leveraged Nasdaq fund. Lost 97.5%! The decline from top to bottom took about 2 1/2 years. IMV, we have not yet had "the bear market". In a genuine bear market, hope and optimism are displaced by fear, loathing, and despair for weeks/months. The...
