How in the world did this person get elected? I see our country failing with loons like her getting elected. I just saw her grilling Powell, this time, and she is just useless. Big stupid statements and really nothing of value offered by her anytime she opens her mouth.

Thank you, I am not following through on the job. It was an interesting opportunity, but in the long run travel and pretty much training others as opposed to trading. In terms of training someone else, the thought that sticks in my head was a comment from my flight instructor long ago when I...

I take back what I wrote about no exodus of employees at my wife's hospital. She has had 4 people say they are quitting, and the rest of the hospital has been told they have to have a plan to submit to the CEO on how they are going to maintain operations as a result of mounting people leaving...

Update, I met with them Friday. Drove to their offices, very nice set up, and was given the run down on what they were thinking. I wouldn't have to take any license exams, but would end up there pretty much all the time. They want in person training, which I agree with for trading and I just...

Last Friday was decision day at the hospital where my wife and 2 kids work. People either had to have their excuse accepted for not getting vaccinated or leave. At this point at least in my wife's departments they are giving people another chance to get in an excuse or start the process. I...

I'm guessing it is people who get to the funded level and then take the first $5000 or whatever that you get 100% and leave before the 80/20 kicks in. I really don't understand why if you can trade profitably you give them money, miss out on a month of trading your own money and then in another...

Robert, thank you, at the moment I will talk to the firm and get some more answers on how they see things working and what I want. The firm itself is part of a larger broker/trading firm. They operate independently with oversight is my understanding, and contribute their share of costs. Those...

I'm pretty sure they operate as an LLC. I have made the assumption that I will end up with the professional designation as a result if I am working for them. I do not have the 3 or 7 license, and so far they don't think it will be required. If they are I admit I am most likely to lazy at this...

Thank you, I am just trying to weigh pros and cons. I thinking I could give it a go and if it isn't what I want then go back to the good life of working with the dog as my boss and companion. I still haven't gotten an answer of how often I would need to be physically present, and the office is...

I asked about having to be licensed and was told for the situation it isn't required. Apologetik, how did you go about changing your status? Was it a paperwork situation, or?

Thank you, that is the impression I got in terms of being able to go back. The guy at the CME sounded like I was asking a crazy question when I asked about returning to non pro. I had an offer to trade and work with a couple of other traders, but it would involve joining a firm and trigger the...

From what I read if you are classified as professional you are stuck with those data fees for your personal trading accounts also. Is that correct? Also, how big a pain is it to revert back to non-pro if you stop trading under the professional label? I tried asking the CME and did not get any...

The middle son is starting his PhD program this year and has 3 low level classes to teach, and has never had to teach a class previously. Overall it hasn't been bad, but he is also finding out not everyone in college is there to study, as well as other joys of being the teacher. So far a month...

I have had my disagreements with Destriero, for which I guess he has blocked me, which cracks me up, but I don't doubt his smarts on options and trading them. Not easy to decipher specifically what he posts here, but I get the impression he takes questions in pm's and answers.

Thank you for the input. I know I am not imagining it, but have to admit it seems like an odd reaction. So far it hasn't lessened for me. but I'll try again as I guess I am a coffee/caffeine addict. This last Tuesday, and quite a few times after the 2nd shot, I was seriously getting worried...

Ken, I trade mostly on the futures side, but same issue. Awhile ago I decided to mostly watch the markets from 1300 CST on, do research, and occasionally take a trade if it was one of my better setups. Why if you have identified that it is hurting your income do you keep trading? Others have...

Yep, and I have done way more experimental stuff than caffeine, although that was long ago. Maybe that will be one of the retirement plans, get back to experimenting.

I may give it a try, but I could just quit drinking coffee just as easy.

The one standing is the one that has a bite history and unfortunately we need to pass. I would be worried about a kid coming up on a walk and doing what kids do and getting bit. The other is only 4 months old and we go to meet her and 2 of her sisters Sunday. I wanted to get there earlier, but...

Posted this in a coffee thread too, but figured I would post here also. As an experiment I drank an 8 ounce cup of coffee this morning. This is roughly half of what I would have had in my system previous to the second dose of Moderna by this time of the morning. My frickin heart is racing and...
