    The Last 12 times S&P 500 earnings were up 10% or more saw S&P 500 go higher on the year

    Markets may soar from here.... perhaps even to Dow 50,000! Why? 1. Corp. tax cuts will be a big boost to earnings. 2. If the companies use the majority/all of the tax savings for stock buy-backs (as is likely because corp insiders would get the biggest benefit), that could light a fire...

    Trading or daytrading til you die!

    "Learning to trade" is a valuable lifetime skill. Doesn't mean "scalping", but rather when to go on/off the risk. Just because you turn 65 doesn't mean your need for a good return on your money has come to an end. One doesn't always have to be a screen jockey. At any age, "good trading" can...

    Stephen Hawking quotes on money

    American Patriots... who hate Obama, Clinton, Bush, Pelosi, Schumer, Reid, Waters, Cummins, Dean, DiBlasio, Brown, et al... and the rest of the Lefty Communists trying to destroy our coutry, is all.

    That too. If you've got the money, you can have a Ferrari to drive to the Starbucks down the street if you choose! :) Noobs get the notion, "If I have a high-power computer with lots of monitors... that will make me a success". Not the case at all. (My first trading computer was an 8088 XT...

    Seeking Advice to Configure Lenovo P-920

    I doubt you (or anyone) can effectively follow that much. (I'm as "professional" as any of the screen jockeys on ET, and display only 6-charts per layout. Often times I look back and say, "I missed that".... a trendline I didn't have drawn in or a Fib. That's not counting what goes on in the...

    Seeking Advice to Configure Lenovo P-920

    Ditto that. I am in favor of Xeon CPU on a Dell workstation (same for HP and Lenovo workstations, too).... quality of parts (supposedly) and longevity. My trading rig is a Dell T3500 w/Xeon CPU... 9 years old, runs without skipping a beat and still plenty of horsepower for today's markets...

    UK Now Barring People From Entering Country For Right Wing Views

    The Leftists INTEND TO WIN. PERIOD! Nothing is beyond the pale for them. Not decption, not lies, not cheating, not even murder. That's how they've operated all around the world. We should not be "surprised" by anything they say or do... and we should be ever vigilant against their evil. :(

    Gartman Makes "Watershed" Call: "Equity Markets Have Hit A Multi-Year Top"

    He's had a recent string of calls that have been consistently wrong. At least he exercises stops as he should, so being wrong hasn't cost him much. (A lesson for all traders.)

    Gartman Makes "Watershed" Call: "Equity Markets Have Hit A Multi-Year Top"

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-14/gartman-makes-watershed-call-equity-markets-have-hit-multi-year-top ____________________________________________________________________ I don't believe he's correct. My view is this recent turmoil is all/part of a "4th wave of the 5th wave up" from...

    Worse than that. He intentionally did all he could to harm us.

    What is your short term market expectation?

    No. "Crash" not possible to anticipate. Market is still "Psycho-UP". An argument can be made that any bear market/crash scenario is still 2 years out. Traders should be playing around a long-side bias... until the Feb lows taken out and sustained.

    is astrology in trading any good?

    Not exactly. Astro-trading is about predicting/anticipating market turns clued from astrology*. (If that were to actually work, it would be a genuine "edge".) Proper TA is about recognizing "a price event" is occurring or that one has passed. *Rosecast sometimes sends emails informing of an...

    The card game "keeping a town alive"

    There is a Big Bang Theory episode where Raj and Lucy have a "texting date"... sitting across a table from one another in the library. Humorous notion on one hand, sad on another. Years ago our family used to have Saturday dinner at my aunt Ida's house. She was a world-class cook! We'd eat...

    Anyone use moving average indicators?

    I don't like "moving average crosses" of any stripe. They are 2nd derivatives of price. Any trader worth his salt should have "seen it" before the cross. The concept of "Moving Average As Support/Resistance" has some validity, however.

    Market normality

    With low costs and no barrier to entry, the notion of "trading the markets" has an aura of "vast amounts of quick and easy money". Reality is much the opposite for most.
