They are lazy. They want the reward but they don't want to do the work.

Book value per share good way to evaluate long term holdings. Hard to believe any 5 funds up only 2.2 in the last 9 years. Berkshire already bought all the stock they could and now are practically the index, but they also own many non listed companies outright, so theoretically more diversified...

What we need are more illegal aliens. I'm so sick of idiots making no distinction between legal immigrants which we all know and love and are descended from, and illegal aliens who sneak into our country and start from day one a criminal. Nobody was even talking about immigrants until Trump came...

It's the "on top of" that makes the estate tax particularly repulsive. Make the death tax the ONLY tax and where do I sign?

3% annual tax on your total net worth. How would that work? Perfect on paper, easy to understand. Why buy and hold? You're just going to have to sell some principal every year, maybe on an up day maybe on a down day. Start with 100k pay 3%, buy 97k worth of stock. 12 months it's worth 80k, sell...

Well, that's the negative spin. The positive spin is he speaks directly to groups that previously only got blamed because they were male, had money, white skin or voted republican. I can accept some blame but after 8 years everyday getting blamed for everything with no concern whatsoever to my...

That about sums it up. Only everything I have on is usually spread to some degree. But like I said, unless you are 1:1 you are naked just like everybody else. Bet on the chop or bet on the trend. Big money is made on the trend, but spending money is made on the chop. Buy low sell high. How do I...

That's what I did when I semi retired, cut account by 75% and quit using stops because I now only need consistent profits better than investing but not large profits like if I owned a business. There is no problem with trading. I won't say it's easy but quite doable if you stick with it. The...

And being filmed on tv trying to speak with a bunch of crazy democrats shouting them down just makes the republicans look better. The democrats haven't got it yet, people watch the news but now pay no attention to the spin. So they show the shouting and say people are angry about losing their...

Some contracts have very little daily volume but trade very actively during the first few hours of RTH.

Fade and hope it was an over reaction.

Well for somebody like Trump, it means selling real estate or borrowing against it to pay the taxes on it. That's why I say it creates activity. Not sure if selling to pay taxes is productive activity. You are correct, very few have a positive net worth. My idea went something like you are...

More proof the trader usually messes things up. Like the sign for the manager in a dugout before he makes a change, "You will rarely win a game but often lose one."

Tried to read the link but the stupid facebook twitter banner on the left hand margin makes it impossible unless I just want to guess at the words or scroll. But I have thought about a wealth tax many times. Details get iffy, but it sure would create a lot of activity. If the cutoff is $10...

If I was President I would tax the shit out of honey. It is really sweet. The only reason tobacco taxes work is the customer is addicted and they have no one on their side. They came for the smokers and I did nothing because I quit. Then they came for the fat little boys and their sugar and I...

The guy Trump can't beat in 2020 is George Clooney. It would be a wipeout. Can you even imagine the campaign? There's nothing left in this box, time to get out.

Democrats are already destructed. The one to go next is the republicans. Everyday they snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory. Where are the libertarians? Talk about fertile ground! Oh, well, I suppose I am one and not doing anything. There is no passion for a libertarian to gain power by...

Go back to your little fantasy dreamworld and complain about the wall. There is no wall, there will never be a wall the kind you and your little liberal literal little minded people can comprehend. And don't make me say there will never be a literal wall, they'll do something for show. The word...

piezoe, The only one who still wants a wall is Trump and that is because he is now president and out of touch with the people and believes what you and the media are saying about him renigging on the wall. But what you and the media don't understand is how much we want to stop illegal...

This tax debate has been going on long enough. Apparently there is no good tax and no good way to tax people. Even communists are starting to understand that the key to any tax system is a strong underlying economy.
