    How is retail day trading anything but a gamble?

    I can leverage up about 4x when markets are open (only 2x overnight). I'd like to employ the capital that magically comes available every day--which means day-trading--but how is day trading anything but a gamble? With all the talk of resistance levels, moving averages, trendlines, etc., what...

    Anyone else hit the burnout point with trading?

    I find that having a second job/interest that I can work while the ball bounces helps a lot. Take some university/night classes. They can be related to trading, like Computer Science, Mathematics, and Economics, ir something completely different, like Psychology or Genetics. It also helps to...

    So the equity market is ALWAYS forward looking....

    Yeah because they printed zillions of dollars and flooded the system with cash, devaluing every dollar by 40%. Their positive movements are just equity prices catching up with the resulting inflation. AAPL's fundamental worth hasn't changed much since 2019, but its dollar measurement has! If In...

    Dem agenda: Health Care card? Played. Race card? Played. Next...

    ...we'll see something to aggravate the women. Perhaps a sexual harassment suit against T or maybe someone close to him. Things are proceeding according to plan. Set everything on fire before the election, and make everyone as miserable as possible. What will the lefty-media plant in our minds...

    You would not even believe it. Is it possible ?

    Never forget that a stop order becomes a market order when the stop price is reached/breached. When the market is moving fast, you will not get out at your specified price. With that kind of leverage, even a relatively small downspike, and you will get margin called. That being said, option 3...

    Age-friendly companies for older developers?

    Yeah I'm getting up there in age and really have to light it up on the interviews. As an older Dev, the only way to get hired is to demonstrate utter mastery of the subject at hand.

    Hertz Files for Bankruptcy After Rental-Car Demand Vanishes

    Another in what I expect to be a slew of CV-fallout bankruptcies. Traders and friends, please be sure to assess bankruptcy risk before taking a position in industries hard-hit by CV.
