    Fighting Back Against Fake News

    If the Russians hadn't exposed the truth about Hilary she would have won. Maybe. So therefore they influenced the ignorance of Americans (by lowering it) which in turn influenced the election. See? And this is what we now need to protect against. Which is why I propose we pass a law making it...

    We narrowly escaped being run by the most unscrupulous citizen Nov 8.

    Soybeans for 2017

    I just stay in the eye of the storm where price bounces around about like an old pong game with almost impossible discernible correlation to anything lasting or real. Just a few pennies is all I need to fill my tooth. But if I look around, I'm still in the same eye of the same storm but it may...

    Soybeans for 2017

    ok, You're probably right, I stand corrected, but 180 days is just a heartbeat in the life of a bean. Germ to harvest is just a snapshot of decades. How would you even measure any commodity's correlation to the same dollar you are using to measure it? Doubt that will ever show up on a simple...

    Portland imposes surtax on CEO pay in salvo at income inequality

    I should bottle it and sell it, because these pills the Doctor prescribed don't work worth a darn.

    Soybeans for 2017

    Just because it doesn't show up on a chart doesn't mean it is non existent. Especially with beans. NOV beans haven't been planted yet, may not be planted at all, and if planted may be destroyed by drought or pests or disease. On top of that, they have to be exported to make it worth anybody's...

    Al Gore kisses the ring

    I think the whole point of inviting Gore to the Tower was to show the world that Trump is not deaf to the climate argument. Nothing more, nothing less. But I worry because Trump is not a deep thinker and has a penchant for the dramatic which creates a perfect fertile soil for the global warming...

    Portland imposes surtax on CEO pay in salvo at income inequality

    Not only clean needles, we should be giving clean heroin and a safe clean place off the streets for anyone addicted hopelessly to heroin. They weren't born dregs any more than a business man who got addicted to debt is a dreg. We have bankruptcy laws to prevent dregs in debt from resorting to...

    Self Sabotage for traders

    Self sabotage has nothing to do with trading. It has to do with success. Losing traders don't self sabotage, only winners can self sabotage. They would do it if they were playing baseball or racing NASCAR or tournament bass fishing or playing chess. Anything you can do where there is a winner...

    How long is this bull market going to last?

    The adviser simply said, Why don't we wait until after the election before we put any new money in. He never said, Why don't we wait and see who wins. It's only a Trump rally for 5 people and those are the 5 people who are on tv calling it a Trump rally. Almost every economic number for the last...

    Why Are Leftists Such Pussies?

    In the early days before trump I was fully expecting Hillary to win and was preparing for my farewell to politics writing it off as "Just for women" and spending my remaining years as a reclusive libertarian. But every time I try to go legit those dastardly republicans keep pulling me back into...

    Self Sabotage for traders

    The sabotage has little to do with trading or the edge or the plan. It will give your money away after you made it or prohibit you from spending any of it if it can't just stop it from materializing in the first place. Obviously, you won't know it is sabotage until you have something to...

    Loss aversion trading

    yeah, in poker they call it being on the Schneid. It's always comforting to break the spell and win that first pot no matter how small, get off the Schneid and back to your game. The problem for me is my trades take a long time to develop and if I keep taking quick short profits the only trades...

    Self Sabotage for traders

    ah, I'm just mad at myself, should know better by now. Sorry if I took it out on others. Self Sabotage is real. Usually for women manifests in marriage. Especially if the husband treats them better than they think they deserve, but it's the kind of good treatment they never really liked, they...

    Loss aversion trading

    If you truly understood the math you wouldn't do it and there would be no emotion. No amount of time on the couch will explain why it's a bad idea. Once you are convinced it is a bad idea you won't do it anymore. If it falls in the discretionary area it is still math, but the math goes...

    Self Sabotage for traders

    you talkin to me dumbass? I'm mad, but not at you, at me, for getting sucked into what I thought is an interesting life topic and let a know it all prick turn it into an advice column. Good luck breathing somewhere far away from me. The air is a little rarified up where I live, I don't like to...

    Loss aversion trading

    ok, but if you have fear it should be because you have no plan, not because trading is scary. I fail to see what fear has to do with loss aversion. Loss aversion is a very real science any actuarial can compute if you feed him the right numbers. Fear of missing out is something for a woman's...

    Loss aversion trading

    I would highly recommend you quit trading until you come up with some kind of a plan. That way you won't be so scared all the time. Your plan should take into consideration your fear of dark nights and loud noises and whatever else you can think up that is scary. If you have to deal with...
