    What's so good about Micron Technology (MU)?

    Nothing special about MU. Since Apr, has been a group laggard. May have "catch-up" potential, however.

    Would you be interested in having a 1v1 trading battle with a trader ?

    If I were running such a contest, I would have no such limitations and no disqualifications... just "bottom line", audited statements... probably monthly or "entire contest" would be best. If a player has big drawdown, he has limited resources with which to recover... that's "punishment"...

    Would you be interested in having a 1v1 trading battle with a trader ?

    That depends. Such a contest might focus attention and effort... and lead to better results. That may or may not matter depending upon how worthwhile the contestants view the reward for winning. (While I hoped for bigger, I estimate my reward from the US Investing Championships to be...

    Would you be interested in having a 1v1 trading battle with a trader ?

    To make such a contest fair... 1. Start with the same capital 2. Determine which markets to which the contest is limited... equities, options, futures, whatever. No need for real-time reporting... just audit monthly statements. Years ago in the "US Investing Championships", there were...

    So will antivaxxers take the Covid pill?

    That's good, isn't it.... like getting a shot of penicillin after that Tinder girl gives you the clap?

    While Americans Lose Jobs Over Vaccines, Dems Give Cash Payments to Illegals

    Is this the Twilight Zone, or what?? Rod Serling would be proud! He didn't even have to write the script for this one. https://www.infowars.com/posts/while-americans-lose-jobs-over-vaccines-dems-give-cash-payments-to-illegals-friday-live/

    Emergency rooms are filled to overflowing all over America, and nobody can seem to explain why this

    No change as far as I know. I had a hip replacement last month... was concerned the surgery might get cancelled, but it didn't.... no overnight stay required, however.

    Emergency rooms are filled to overflowing all over America, and nobody can seem to explain why this

    With less people catching the virus, you would think that would mean that our emergency rooms should be emptying out, but the opposite is actually happening. All across the country, emergency rooms are absolutely packed, and in many cases we are seeing seriously ill patients being cared for in...

    Study suggests zero covid mortality at 50 ng/mL vitamin D

    Dr. John Campbell, UK physician, has a couple of videos on "Vitamin D and mortality". Data shows mortality for ALL disease is reduced when serum Vitamin D is ~ 40 ng/ml and continues to decrease to even >100ng/ml.... and is especially true for those who have any kind of heart condition...

    Tesla's hidden billionaire: How a retail trader made US$7 billion

    Reminds me of years back when Fidelity Select funds allowed hourly trading... some guy got some ink for "knockin' 'em dead" for a while. When asked how much of his money he'd committed to this trading, he said, "3%". And where was the rest of his money? T-Bills.

    Someone bought $3,400 worth of SHIB last August. It’s now worth $1.55 billion

    Not that much. The original issuance was only $410 trillion coins... and the originator supposedly "burned" 90% of them, whatever that means.

    Tax on active traders in Germany

    Though short term capital gains and ordinary income are taxed at the same rate, "other things" apply to ordinary income... social security and medicare taxes, for example. The US tax code is 70,000 pages (or is it 80,000 now?)... anything but "fair"... much of it HORSE SHIT... with special...

    Tax on active traders in Germany

    The tax law in the USA is not about "fairness". It's grossly unfair and used as a political tool. :( The only fair tax is a flat tax. But we'll never see that as it wouldn't be subject to manipulation for political gain.
