There is another factor that doesn't get much attention, but it is something that the Fed has to consider. And that is where the dollar is trading relative to the currencies of our trading partners and what the current policy of our trading partner's central banks is. I think the Fed is wise to...

Since the wealthy can take advantage of the best private school, primary and secondary education, many of their kids can qualify for means blind scholarships. (Yet another way fortune favors the wealthy.) In some states kids scoring sufficiently high on the SAT or ACT automatically qualify for...

Some States allow contributions as well as withdrawals to be exempt (i.e., deductible) from State income tax.

OK now, I'm all buckled up. Where's the crash? Maybe I'll get to use my seat belt if Trump manages to lie his way into the White House.

The Fed is doing exactly what they should be doing. Delaying a rate increase to allow more time for the smoke over the Euro and the Yen to settle. What the dollar does in relation to the currencies of our trading partners is important. The Fed understands that. (Also there is the problem, for...

If he is, it will be a first for him!

I have never understood why anyone would listen to this guy, but I do understand why they put him on the air.

Sometimes the posts here say more about the person posting than they do about the subject of the post.

Also this last of his lectures at the Central European University will be of great interest to many here.

The clip you've posted is too sketchy to give an approximate notion of what Soros believes. Much more important then his personal beliefs for traders and investors, however, are his contributions to our understanding of markets and the failings of classical economics. This clip below, IMO, is...

The article states per capita net worth for Canada at 271K CD (Which is likely the 2015 number). I calculated that the 2014 per capita net worth in the U.S. was about 330K in CD using the current exchange rate and a U.S. population of 319 Million (2014). These are somewhat comparable numbers...

Yes. That's good thinking. But keep in mind that the rate of trades going off normally passes through maxima near support and resistance, and you don't need that information to tell you where support and resistance are, that's obvious to all experienced traders. And the size of these maxima...

I have an idea! Why not hack into the terrorist network and send fake instructions from 'terrorist leaders' to members of the network instructing them to show up, in front of FBI head quarters promptly at 9 am next Monday.

I'm not enthusiastic about ending my existence on this planet as a shadow on the wall, how 'bout you?

I believe that there is considerable popular support among the U.S. population for the sentiments you express, i.e., that no foreigner has a Constitutional right to come here. It is difficult to argue that point. However once on our shores there are years of precedent behind at least some of...

Exactly, one should make an effort to remain rational. Because we allowed the passenger rail system to be abandoned by the railroad companies, we have no widespread passenger transportation system in our country. We tried to do something about this, but government efforts to step in were...

If you are human, then it is natural to concern yourself with humanitarian problems. But what would you know about that!

That's certainly true. But the number willing to strap a bomb on their back is strictly limited, thank God! Why not just herd them all into someplace useless like central Arkansas and see to it they can't get out? (Please allow for the fact that the most disreputable asshole I have encountered...

Bravo!
