    Poll - You are Kim Jon Un

    Smart money should be on... 1. Kim agrees to de-nuke in exchange for LOTSA $$ from US. 2. After Kim spends all that dough, he re-nukes (again) Same old story, rinse and repeat. (US suckers once again)

    Pilgrim's Pride PPC...What am I not seeing?

    Buying stocks in a downtrend carries additional risk regardless of any fundamental considerations.

    What is an edge?

    Market Makers have an edge... don't they need it to be in business? Not something we retail screen jockeys can work for ourselves.

    The Democratic Party’s frightening embrace of socialism

    "... Back in 1927, an American socialist, Norman Thomas, made a stunning validation of the ideological link between liberalism and socialism, and inadvertently acknowledged the inherently fraudulent nature of the American liberalism when he clairvoyantly asserted that The American people would...

    ET gone to the dogs

    If you do that, you end up with so many on ignore that you can't follow a thread thought. I'm probably on more ignore lists than any other. For one, I'm a patriot... I hate Lefties/Commies/DemoCraps in America trying to destroy our country. For another, I offend people when I bring to their...

    The biggest most notorious liar known to man

    Of course. You realize, don't you, that you just asked me if I'm a racist... Isn't that the same as being accused of racism?? Sounds like you have a preference for Obama. Is that because he is black? You know, if you'd paid any attention to his policies, decisions, and expressed desire to...

    CNN poll: Democrats' 2018 advantage is nearly gone

    As many of us are right now. In fact, it's viturally a requirement!

    What is an edge?

    No. No edge on the market or your trade... though perhaps "versus other traders".... which is of no value to your trade.

    What is an edge?

    Not really. Poor analogy. Edge would be like counting cards in blackjack. Of course if the casino figures out you're doing it, they'll kick you out.

    What is an edge?

    That's a BIG part of doing well. But with experience, ALL of your trades can have better than 50-50 probability of winning. Couple that with stop discipline, and you have a workable formula for success.

    What is an edge?

    While they likely don't have one, if they believe they do and it gives them confidence... that's OK. I know I don't have an edge and will likely never have one again. No worries. (One time I did sort-of have an edge. Back when I ran my mutual fund market timing service, I and others used to...

    What is an edge?

    No. The only edges in the maket I know of (stated earlier) are illegal. An example of true edge....Let's say the payout on a single number in roulette was 40:1, but there are only 38 numbers on the wheel. Payout = 40:1, probability of winning, 38:1. That would be an edge. But of course...

    What is an edge?

    Agree, but it's still not an edge on the market... just on other traders.... who are neither as smart nor a disciplined as you. Making money in the market is not quite the same as "doing better than other traders".

    What is an edge?

    That is actually not true. It's not a matter of "frequency" of trades but rather "quality". True, a poor trader who is active is more likely to crash and burn faster. Traders shouldn't have as an objective to trade more or trade less.... but rather to trade better.

    What is an edge?

    A race car could be an example of having a true edge.... like if your car was sigficantly more powerful than the others, or handled better, or they were running on hard compound tires while you ran on stickies. Those would be edges.
