    The GOP are fascists who hate our form of government (democracy)

    Gee... sounds mostly like US's modern DemoCrap Lefties, doesn't it? (And all the while, they accuse GOP'ers and Patriots of being Fascists.... when we are in fact the opposite! Goebbels would be so proud!... you know, "accuse the other side of exactly what you are doing".)

    The GOP are fascists who hate our form of government (democracy)

    One thing I've noticed... Lefites/DemoCraps throw out the term Fascist all the time... without knowing what it actually means.

    The undoing of Trump's legacy.

    Yes. Trump kept too many "Odumbo left-overs". He should have done a better job of "cleaning house" right from the start! But he has indeed, "exposed the evil and power lust of the Left"... not sure it's going to do us any good, however. :(

    The undoing of Trump's legacy.

    I like this, but I think you are wrong. The DemoCrap "cheat machine*" and desires for "totalitarian, dictator power and control" dooms us all to a CCP-like (which is also Nazi-like) government and culture. :( *You know their now infamous HR1 virtually legalizes all the illegal things they did...

    The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why? (NYT)

    Your "point" is mostly based in chronology and therefore meaningless!

    The Economy Does Much Better Under Democrats. Why? (NYT)

    Why? Because they spend money like drunken sailors. Then Repubs come into power and try to "cut back on the excess spending initiated by the Dems", and the economy/market doesn't do as well.

    Futures Challenge Sub 2k account to 20k and then quit job?

    A trader wants to get these right, but shorter term charts are valuable for better entries/stops.... and by "shorter term" I mean 5/10-minute and shorter charts. Recommend using longer term charts to show you "where" and shorter ones to show you "what". (I understand most of what I post is...

    Futures Challenge Sub 2k account to 20k and then quit job?

    Agree. Depending upon your vehicle and good fortune, you might turn $2k into $20k... but that's most likely to occur when the "bull market wind is at your back". That's the easy part. You have to cope with and live through the tough parts, too. Give yourself time to experience and learn that...

    GME Freefall As Euphoria Turns To Revulsion

    As one veteran trader noted "it's a bloodbath" and another mocked "in all my 6 days of trading, I have never seen anything like this..." :) https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/most-shorted-stocks-are-crashing

    GME and AMC Reddit Traders getting Slaughtered

    Maybe somebody should coin a new term... "Cubic Zirconium Hands".... looks like and wants to be diamond, but isn't. As to silver (SLV)... was reading where the short interest is actually rather low, so no "Gamestop-like" squeeze. XRT (most shorted) getting hammered too... -25% in 3 days...

    Keep printing those trillions and trillions.

    The Short Squeeze As A Business Model?

    The Reddit and WSB insider guys are in a great position. They can buy certain stocks... then tell their followers to "pile in" to initiate short squeeze.... and it may not even be illegal!! Might run for longer than we could imagine... unless the revenooers decide to intervene.

    The Short Squeeze As A Business Model?

    Somehow I can't fathom the notion that a million or two noob ankle biters fueled by "stimmy" checks from the government... can "raid" stock victims holding substantial shorts.... and force the big players to knuckle under. Could be it's the "opportunity of a lifetime... and nobody can do...

    I am qualified to be a big trader

    I was considered a big trader a long time ago. It didn't mean anything except the revenooers sometimes wanted to know what I was doing and my intentions with my positions. (Of course, I told them... "just trade plays". One time I got an overnight, "special delivery" from the exchange about...

    What risk management lessons can we learn from Melvin Capital 50% loss in Jan 2021?

    Yes, having too large a "position vs the average handle" is a risk. Some say your play shouldn't be bigger than 2%. Well, that means you are 1/50th of the market all by yourself. I like the idea of being no larger than 1/200th of the market (.5% of the handle). Seems like a good idea for...

    Lessons from a failed trader

    Ditto! The wind has been at the market's back... Fed printing.

    What happens when foreign governments enter and buy GameStop, just to hurt Wall Street?

    That should be a genuine concern. Suspect the downside potential would have smart players getting off their shorts at relatively good prices while they still can.

    Naked Shorts Are High Risk.... PERIOD!

    Sometimes shorts are part of a "pair trade offset".... one goes down while the other goes up, ideally, at relative different rates. Other times the shorts are betting on a supposed discrepancy between worth and stock price.... could be fundamentally weaker or even fraudulently. The markets...
