    Everything You Need To Know About The 2022 Crypto Crash

    Yeah... today's investor/trader thinks any 5% movement to the downside is a "crash"... and whines for the Fed to pump the markets back up. Years back, a -25% downside move was considered as "just noise".

    Would markets double-dip?

    If you have a notion that "Elliot Wave Counts" mean anything, keep an eye on the IWM chart. At this point, its message is the most revealing. I posted earlier (November) about the possibility of the "bull market from Covid low may have topped"... that read is still intact. If my read on the...

    Joke: Why women are bad at trading

    Women want a "reason" to have sex. Men only want a "place". :)

    It seems the key rules to beating the market are these...

    Then again... "You can play anything so long as you exercise stops".

    It seems the key rules to beating the market are these...

    From Paul Tudor Jones... "The conventional wisdom is to not try to pick bottoms and tops. I've made 10 times more money trying to pick them than I ever saved trying to avoid picking them"... IOW... Try to nail tops and bottoms... always with stops. (If you learn "Price TA", that won't scare...

    ES and MES commissions increase?

    If exchange fees went up, it will soon follow brokers' fees do the same. Price go up EVERYWHERE... inflation, inflation, inflation... government said so. (The $USD used to be worth $1.00. Now it's worth ~ $0.04. That's the way it is... cope as best you can.) :(

    Vitamin D and Immunity... a consideration for cold/flu season + covid

    Just musing and FWIW... 1. The majority of gout sufferers are male. 2. Only ~ 2% of the population suffers gout. 3. I'm the only one in my family with it (lucky me :)) 4. The only other mammal besides people to suffer gout is the guinea pig. (So if you see one limping around, you know...

    Vitamin D and Immunity... a consideration for cold/flu season + covid

    The government, FDA, CDC, NIH, AMA, et al... ignores it all. They really don't care whether or not you recover from Covid... doesn't matter how many die or suffer devastating vaccine injury.... THEY WANT YOU/MANDATE YOU TO TAKE THE JAB... for nefarious reasons. :(

    Is Kathy Woods attempting to manipulate the market? How close is Kathy Woods to a margin call?

    She's not big enough to manipulate the market. If she was close to a margin call.. the bounce gave her breathing room.

    When Does Day Trade Becomes Swing Trade?

    Definition of an investment... "a trade gone bad"*---- the late, great Ed Hart. *meaning... a trade you should have stopped out but didn't. Now you're left with "hold and hope".

    Anyone remember the Bre-X scandal?

    Bre-X was Invesco's gold fund's largest holding. Lots of heartburn.

    Question about RAM

    If you want my recommendation.... I would say that you SHOULD buy a pre-built trading computer.... a workstation from Dell, HP, or Lenovo. (I've had many computers over the years. One BIY job was enough for me. It was sort of fun but not worth the hassle.)

    Biden Cancels $1.3 Billion Of Student Loans — His Plan For Student Loan Cancellation Is Becoming Cle

    How is it that debts are "forgiven"? That means "somebody has to take it in the shorts". Who would do this in "debt forgiveness"? The taxpayer, of course. Biden wants to forgive student loan debt to gain "political sugar... at the expense of the wrong people". Nothing new about that...

    Question about RAM

    Perhaps you should question the opinion of someone who's trying sell you! However if you're doubful... you can buy a machine with 8 or 16GB of RAM and try it out. If the RAM is overtaxed, add more... easy peasy.

    Question about RAM

    HOGWASH! I posted earlier that my 4x, UHD monitor rig is running 1.6GB of RAM. Why would I need 16-24GB? In your own rig, you can run SIV (System Information Viewer)... available free.. and your Windows Task Manager to see how much VRAM and system RAM you're actually using. You won't benefit...

    Question about RAM

    Mostly correct. You can often "get by" with onboard graphics... they are much better these days... but for 4 or more hi res or UHD montors, you're almost certain to want/need a quality video card with a minimum of 2GB VRAM. Fortunately these days such cards are plentiful and affordable.

    Question about RAM

    Completely disagree. The amount of RAM you'll need is primarily determined by the software and a bit by the monitor(s) resolution. For example... right now I'm running browser, email, data, and charts/DOM (likely typical for retail screen jockeys like us)... on 4x, UHD monitors. The rig is...

    Question about RAM

    If you want to economize, you could get a fully competent trading workstation (used) for ~$250-$400. (When I do a big upgrade of my hardware, I buy 6 machines. Buying used saves several $thousand.)

    No need to spend as much as they charge.
