    Why is SPY holding at near-record highs with demand driving bond yields down and gold soaring?

    Lots of buybacks out there. I wonder if they will they ever start buying back their own merchandise? Then they can report sales that exceed expectations. Maybe I can sell my iPhone back to AAPL for a profit.

    TWS works well with Linux?

    Shorting stock gains considered capital gains or income in the United States?

    Long or short doesn’t matter; it’s income. Key is the hold time: - Hold for less than a year and it’s added to your income and taxed at the rate specified in your tax bracket. - If you hold for a year or more it is taxed at 20%. So you save a buck by investing for the longer term, which is...

    The End Of Win 7

    The never-ending forced upgrades and constant network talk really affected performance, and drove me crazy. M$ is just a little too pushy for me.

    I’ve had a lot of problems with W10. I switched to Mac and Ubuntu. I’ve been happy. Linux has come a long way.

    How do you guys combat FOMO and take profits when should

    I find that when the news reports my insights, it is time to take. Example: AAPL: I recently foresaw that smartphones would become an issue of “National Security,” I.e. AAPL is dead in China. I went up about 17% on a short. Then, some China correspondent on Bloomberg reported that insight...

    any low cost real-time market data source??

    I make money speculating, about a 1-2month horizon for profit-taking. No ULL, LL, or scalping. I don’t trade trends, but will map them to observe support of or opposition to my thesis. I typically watch the 1min or 5min candles at market open, and the 15min candles during the day. I often zoom...

    Careers in I.T.

    I had a talk about this with Indian friends at work, and you don't have to learn Hindi. Asian Indians learn English starting at 3rd grade, so pretty much all of them speak English. If memory serves, a former Indian president decided that English would be the official 2nd language or something...

    Does 5G cause Health Problems?

    Everyone is going crazy about 5G, saying how it is the best thing since free, high-quality porn... but does it cause health problems? I see Verizon running these ads about how 5G will enable doctors to more easily diagnose cancer. 5G has been clocked at about 3GB/s; so, I see these ads as a...
