    Portland imposes surtax on CEO pay in salvo at income inequality

    Well at least they are making progress. This is the first time I ever heard them connect tax, and rate, in this case an actual percentage, to a behavior. That is progress. At least now we are speaking the same language.

    Al Gore kisses the ring

    Science? Who said anything about science? This is about votes (2020 is right around the corner and this time we go prepared!), and Ivanka and her crowd like climate change.

    Why Are Leftists Such Pussies?

    Laugh if you want, the world population is now more women less men, and you are seeing it in government. And let's face it, dealing with a democrat is about like trying to make sense with a woman. The democrat party represents the feminine side of life. Deer Season Leave I understand. Family...

    Portland imposes surtax on CEO pay in salvo at income inequality

    How will they even asses this tax? Who will be subject to it? If I make cereal in Battle Creek MI and I am over the ceo/employee ratio does that mean my cereal on a Portland shelf will have an added tax? What if I get fired? When will the tax be re assesed? Or is it just for Portland ceo's? In...

    Loss aversion trading

    The best risk reward ratio is 1:infinity where 1 equals 100% of your account. You don't have to put it all on at one time, but over a lifetime. That is why 95% of mutual fund investors don't lose money like traders do. They buy 10k of a fund and are willing to risk it all. All the way to zero...

    How long is this bull market going to last?

    It's already about 7 years old with a long time since even a major correction. Historically that is a good run. Anything on top of this is just gravy. Those of us who lived through 2009 fully invested aren't too worried about the last days of this bull. We will probably never sell, but it looks...

    Self Sabotage for traders

    Can't make money until you have lost enough to pay for all your sins. I know I don't deserve to win. Tried to get to where I thought I finally deserved to win, but I know that is just not true. If it was the guy on the other side would also deserve to win. The Book of Job. It's the oldest story...

    Interactive Brokers worst customer service

    Depends. Depends on who you get. It is like night and day. One will be almost intuitive about your problem and insure it is fixed to your satisfaction. And an other may treat you like you are the dumbest unknowledgable scum they have ever had to deal with and it's all your fault they don't even...

    How long is this bull market going to last?

    Have we started another bull market? Didn't the last one just end in 2007? Oh well, I guess it will go on for me until I can get inflation adjusted 4% in a 5 yr cd.

    Soybeans for 2017

    A little late for beans, this time of year they aint nuthin but a gleam in some farmers eye. Let it snow let it snow let it snow. Won't bother soybeans any. Nothing really to trade now but intentions. No shortage of world stocks so they say today.

    Will Capitalism Survive/Fix This?

    By removing the extremes you are removing the polar pillars of stability. Do what you want if it makes you feel better, but you don't get any brownie points from me for dragging me through your journey to a fantasy land which doesn't exist but my bill is more than just taking you to Disneyworld...
