I think that mostly happened years ago. There was a huge move to offshoring, with associated problems. The talented people in the U.S. are paid accordingly.

Why are companies so hot about having their employees back in the office? I'm perfectly happy with the "new normal," but GS is calling it an "aberration." [1] I was hoping that a wfh culture would be the silver lining of COVID. It looks like a win-win for employer and employee: EMPLOYER...

Excellent answer... thank you. EDIT: Really excellent. An hour later and I'm still noodling on your comment.

If you're concerned, ask if your broker has hacking insurance.

I always envision the club face moving across the ball inside-out... opposite of a slice. I like having a slight hook to my shots. Not a nasty hook into the woods, a slight hook that shows good control and allows me to aim right a bit, so that it hooks slightly left into the fairway. It's a...

Thank you... it was brutal. It hurt so much I sold out for 7 months.

2019. I'd been trading heavily five years by that point, and had learned how to normalize cost across trades, and isolate a specific alpha with a set of hedges. 42%! My best year. Then I got too cocky, and made a big stupid FOMO bet during COVID, and lost it all and then some. I got wild, and...

I do hands-on manual trading, but not with technical analysis. I just don't believe in it; don't have faith in it. ...let me amend that statement: I do believe in technical trading, but I don't believe that retail tools can outsmart the heavy iron of institutional traders. I think that if...

Honda and Toyota will soon enter the EV markets. They are King and Queen of the standard auto market. Tesla is basically a luxury vehicle. Their bid for the standard market was the Model 3... Give the choice between a Tesla Model 3, or a competitively priced Toyota or Honda... let's just say...

Sounds like the burgers weren't the only thing that got BBQ'd... Also, Nasdaq:BBQ Holdings got quite the boost from CV, eh? Maybe OP could sell naked short puts on them? Like Warren says, trade what you know! XD

I don't have charts, but my best has been swing trading (weeks) based on my market insights and observations in my field (tech, telecom, finance). Anything lower than that has proven to be a gamble. As a computer programmer by trade, this came as a surprise to me. I thought'd I'd write some...

Ooh thank you, that clears it up. I was reading them as PAST quarters; i.e. from 2020 into Q1 of 2021z

I find it hard to have confidence trading this style. I always saw it as a 50/50 gamble, minus commissions and fees. You might as well play craps and roll the dice. - You're at the mercy of whatever technical you picked. - At any time a Portfolio Manager can suddenly enter/exit their position...

Can a greater mind please explain what this chart means? I picked it up Friday from BB news. - What does the drop in percentage mean as time (here, in quarters) moves forward? - What exactly is consumer sentiment? - Economist fears are driving it lower? Why I'd think that inflation fear would...

Christ that chart spans 20 years! Take a look at the following. $GOVT is a US T Bond ETF. This is the 2-year chart. You can see the flight to bonds when CV hit, and a rotation out once they got it (somewhat) under control. We're back to 2019 pre-covid levels for T Bond demand. Also check out...

What style are you trading? What is your typical time horizon? Right now, I'm swing trading and speculating, with a time horizon in weeks. Personally, understanding _why_ I took a position helps me to hang in there when it moves against me. If I've done the hard work of studying a trade, have a...

Sounds like you set it as a DAY order instead of a GTC (Good Till Canceled) order.

I'd say mostly yes. Inflation headlines are everywhere, I'm getting emails and ads telling me what I need to do about it--which is very nice of them. The big unknown is when the Fed will start getting hawkish. Maybe this is last call.

You were right...

The whole point is to weaken the U.S. Dollar! This is the intention. They used COVID as an excuse to pump more money into the system, and weaken the dollar. You really believe Uncle Jerome's "we need to use all tools necessary..." drivel? I've got another tool he could use: small business...
