    Paypal News?

    Curious if anyone knows what just hit Paypal? I've been selling calls against my position for a long while now, and actually thought I was about to get taken out, or have to roll, but looks like that won't be an issue.

    Got a vacation pic?

    Beautiful, but I have to say Baron's vacation pic on another thread may have an even more amazing view. :)

    Scatty On The Markets... your questions answered here!

    Thank you for the answer. Also, thank you for your service! I was never bright enough to say that to my Dad while he was alive. We have given to Gary Sinise's Foundation as a way of giving to those who have sacrificed for this country.

    Scatty On The Markets... your questions answered here!

    I don't think this falls under your list of questions, and not sure if I am on your ignore list, so here it goes anyway. If you care to share, why did you get out of the money management business? I have often wished I had followed that route.

    A record 4.3 million workers quit their jobs in August

    The burnout is real. I have been running the numbers to see if I could tell the wife she is good to pack it in and stay home and relax. She provides the health benefits for us, and has a health issue so going without is not an option. She was always a solid 60 hours a week, but now with no...

    A record 4.3 million workers quit their jobs in August

    The wife is up to 4 employees walking away in the last 2 months and a few more in the preceding months. She is going out of her mind getting coverage for shifts as the people left are burning out. She is a lab and quality manager for a hospital, so going short isn't an option. The Agency they...

    Top Step Trader Funded Account Journey

    Congratulations. How long did it take you to get to the funded status, and was it your first try? Are you going to stick with them for long term after you take out the initial amount at 100%? Have you thought about trading on your own and starting with the micro contracts and building to the...

    The main reason why doing business with these get-funded programs is a bad idea...

    Huh!? So people can come in not actually trade real money yet withdraw real money? Does your firm take the trades in real time to generate the money to cover these funds? Or is it just an indication of the failure rate is high enough that trial fees cover any outlay? I'm guessing you realize...

    Post-sim abuse withdrawal

    Maybe to a point they do, but it doesn't answer why if you area profitable trader you are pissing away money and time on these when you could be making money in your own account. Also, at at least some of them the profit you take is taxed at your personal rate instead of the 60/40 futures treatment.

    What are some books, movies, TV, YouTube, etc that have really made you think??

    I've posted this previously in another thread. Pretty amazing in it's documentation of the wonders that Communism is in reality.

    Baron's Crypto Trading Journal

    I am not completely sold on the crypto as a currency idea, but I do see it driving innovation in the financials world. Your example of ACH transfer is an excellent point, and I believe is one of many areas where the traditional finance world has gotten away with using inefficiencies to their...

    The main reason why doing business with these get-funded programs is a bad idea...

    Orianna, Does your firm actually have true funded accounts or are they like mentioned on another thread all sim even after they are told they are trading a funded account? In other words after someone has earned a funded account are they trading in the live real time markets or are they...

    Democrats can raise the debt ceiling, but aren't

    So, everything I've been able to read, not just conservative drivel sites, is the Democrats can raise the ceiling on their own. Now I see Biden implying that isn't the case. If they and Yellen were truly concerned they would just go ahead instead of playing their side of the games, and running...

    Trump drops off Forbes 400 list for first time in 25 years

    Too funny, I wonder if this will distract him from his election crap? Every time these lists come out he threatens to sue the magazines for underestimating his wealth by "huge" numbers. Not surprisingly he never follows through, and on occasion in past articles they have documented actual values...

    LeeLoo Preformance Account- A Ghost Account

    I would be surprised if they are actually a U.S. based company. Maybe have a holding company or the sort in the States, but this is too crazy to be able to get away with in the long run, financially, and possibly legally.

    Elizabeth Warren...How?

    There was a little more to it than her "concern" over banking regulations, but you imagine what you want. My disgust with politicians goes beyond her, and extends to more men than women in Congress, so what does that mean? Watch some Congressional tribunals, oh sorry, the testimonials. She and...

    Getting a new dog today.

    Well, it will be no dog for the moment. We went to meet the other puppy, and the lady and her daughter were all set to have us take home that day. They were loudly whispering, kind of obnoxiously, that we were a great fit and she would be going to a good home. I mentioned that we would like to...

    Elizabeth Warren...How?

    It has nothing to do with woman or man, nothing. Nice try to use that as an excuse, but sad and pathetic also.

    Elizabeth Warren...How?

    Sorry, I don't bother to write down all the uselessness that has come out of her mouth. I actually laughed when she called Powell the most dangerous man. Seriously? I don't agree with what the Fed does all the time, most of the time, and I don't like the amount of power we have given an...
