    Who should I ignore?

    Whoa! I thought you to be a capitalist!

    Who should I ignore?

    Depends whether you're asking about trading or political threads. For trading.... that's difficult. Not a high percentage of successful traders on ET.... most grappling with trying to become one. For political... if you're a Constitutional Conservative, ignore all of the Lefty-Commie types...

    2% stop loss rule?

    For a trader, you should be able to function with 0.5% risk on your capital for a trade. The size of your account may not be relevant if it's small compared to your capital. That is, you could wipe out your account and then restock it with some of your other capital. Of course... if you wipe...

    A regular day is hard enough for Parkland students. Now they face standardized tests.

    Perhaps the message that should be taken from this...."we should prepare to defend ourselves should we encounter this again". What does anyone think will happen with immigration once the Dems get control of Congress and the WH again?

    Trump Administration: Group of Thugs and Criminals

    "...I feel lost and unoptimistic about the future our political system..." Now you're concerned? What about when Odumbo was pres? Bush? What if Hellary had won? Where's you head??

    Need life and job advice - breaking in to financial services/ trading

    "Torture policies", "free phones"? Pffft! All miniscule crapola to the harm he inflicted upon our country. I hear Denver (near where I live) is about to lionize a section of I25 in his honor. TOTAL DIGRACE... Odumbo should be standing trial for treason rather than be honored in any way. :(

    Need life and job advice - breaking in to financial services/ trading

    I've read that if you're "sexually active with multiple partners", the probability of contracting HPV over your lifetime is like 90%. They even have a vaccine against for 11-13 year olds. Just recently (today?) read about "Killer Clap" (antibiotic resistant) coming to New Zealand. Can you...

    Need life and job advice - breaking in to financial services/ trading

    To be in "financial services", you need to be outgoing, friendly, and comfortable with new people. Trading is an entirely different animal. Has no connection to "financial services" at all. You can be a successful trader while being an introvert, hermit, sociopath....if you can think well...

    ‘Real Indian’ Running Against Sen. Warren Sues After City Tells Him to Stop Calling Her ‘Fake Indian

    https://www.infowars.com/real-indian-running-against-sen-warren-sues-after-city-tells-him-to-stop-calling-her-fake-indian/ Wasn't Warren asked to take a DNA test to "confirm" her American Indian ancestry? She refused. Wonder why?? (Maybe she's just a lying BITCH!.... No Worries.... LOTS of...

    Cameco.

    Fundamentally, uranium power has not been embraced for at least the last 5 years. So... trade CCJ technically... buy it at/near the bottom of its range... $7.50-$8.50. If it turns out to be a big mover, will likely come as a surprise.

    It's time for Starbucks and many other corporations to do the right thing

    Yeah, "no shit". Libs/Progressives want reparations... "to who those who never experienced salvery... from those who never practiced slavery". It's called "Social Justice". Isn't that about as convoluted as it gets??

    John Paulson Seeks Big Fees While Risking His Money

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-23/paulson-levers-up-bets-seeking-big-fees-while-risking-his-money I believe this is the Paulson who made such big bank shorting sub-prime RE in ~2007. Since then, he hasn't done so well.... losing about 70% of his AUM. Now.... he's going the...

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    What does "personal growth" have to do with trading??

    Bitcoin miners facing a shakeout as profitability becomes harder

    Considering that those are illegal (civally, criminally, or both).... hard to justify as "good uses".

    Bitcoin miners facing a shakeout as profitability becomes harder

    Of course "it's harder". The entire notion of bitcoin is stupidity and folly. That doesn't preclude it from being "in" for a while. Originally, we had "barter"... trading one thing of value for another... you know, like a trading a plow for a buggy. Then, gold and silver were "money". Then...

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    You'll come across it in your quest. When you do, give it more heed than other.

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    Disagree. The market does not accommodate/reward any trader's "interest", "growth", "intuition", or "gut feel". The market is the final arbiter of price. Nothing else matters. Get a handle on that and you might succeed. If not, you won't.

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    Don't know specifically. Read that which focuses on "Price TA". All the rest is hocum.

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    "Reading the DOM"? I've had it for years and can't make anything out of it other than whether there are more buy or sell orders in the queue at a given time. Even that isn't definitive in predicting price direction. And then there are the spoofers... apparently trying to "suck you into one...

    How much depth do you have to your strategy

    Your "thought train" is on the wrong track. Forget "complexity", "depth", and "feel"... all stupid notions for trading. Learn to read the price chart. It tells all.
