    pretty bad when the value of your dollar is based on whose face is on it

    Hey Democrats, you want wage increases? How about applying the principles of free market economics.

    no, but an artist with a public following may feel the need to speak out on what he perceives as an injustice.

    Harriet Tubman on the 20

    ha ha, white democrats have always thought themselves to be superior to blacks (who in their elitist mind are the poor and under privileged (since they wouldn't have a thing to show for themselves if Daddy was not rich.)) Most republicans agree with Lyndon Johnson. "If you give the nigroes...

    Could someone explain to me the basic financing advantage of futures over ETFs?

    ah, mostly just having fun, I'll take some blame because when you said levereged etf I assumed you were talking about a 2x or 3x etf. It wasn't that long ago I asked the same question concerning a long term buy and hold in spy vs es. It would seem you could just put up the small margn required...

    Could someone explain to me the basic financing advantage of futures over ETFs?

    Could someone explain to me the basic financing advantage of futures over ETFs?

    this has been discussed many times before, usually long term SPY vs ES. It is quite close, and really makes no material difference unless you are talking about large sums of money most personal investors are not moving. Almost everybody agrees long term cash beats futures by a small margin if...

    How long did it take you to become consistently profitable?

    about 40 years. It wasn't until I semi retired and got really small enough to put it on with no stop and check it now and then that I ever experienced the "C" word. Most of my trading life was triple digit profit and once triple digit loss. Up one month, way down the next. "Hey look at me it's...

    Harriet Tubman on the 20

    and after the republicans freed all the slaves, the democrats turned around and made them all voters. Sometimes you just can't win for losing.

    Lets say your country was about to collapse economically

    not all investments are designed to make money. Some are designed to lose the least. Hopefully by the time your country collaspses you will be well spread. And being spread doesn't mean you have to be long one and short the other. It can mean being short everything. For instance in USA, what is...

    Draghi said We haven't talked about helicopter money, said it's an interesting concept

    ??? By then I'll be betting on the collapse. I still give people wedding gifts even though I know it will probably end in divorce. You watch the economy like I watch an American League game, complaining the whole time they are not really playing by the real rules.

    Draghi said We haven't talked about helicopter money, said it's an interesting concept

    I'm not really talking to that God forsaken loser who has some kind of chip on his shoulder personality and thinks all of his problems are somebody elses fault. I just use him as an example of what is wrong. Time? How do I waste time? I have time coming out of the Ying Yang. That's all I have is...

    Draghi said We haven't talked about helicopter money, said it's an interesting concept

    ok, but until then, positivity is screaming out at me everyday. Everyday is more beautiful than yesterday. All the work is finally paying off. Once you set positivity in motian in your life it is hard to stop. And I suppose for somebody like you who is fixated on negativity once it gets started...

    Day trading has a higher return than swing trading, but how?

    oh that's a new one. Let's all start grading our returns based on how many man hours we spent trading it. (And that doesn't even cover all the woman hours we spent finding comfort when the trade was in drawdown.)

    Political Reality versus Mainstreet

    the story of my life. The story of my life. I should have always stopped when I was ahead. But how do you know when you are ahead? It was probably your old tired mind whose enthusiasm is being drained daily that got dampened and not anything I said. We can keep up the sarcasim as long as you can...

    Harriet Tubman on the 20

    or just abolish the 20$ bill. We don't really need it anymore. How bout a TV game show where the loser has to have their family picture on a twenty dollar bill. Or just give it to a woman as a booby prize.

    something worth your attention

    or you could just say, "Opinions are worth nothing. Knowledge is worth everything." I don't know about you, but in my life opinions are very easy to come by. I have almost a new one every minute. Knowledge is very hard to come by. And even when you think you have come by it, somebody...

    yes, he sure put those pesky Natives in their place. Obama (or as you call him Odumbo) still to this day resents Winston Churchill for putting those pesky Kenyans in their place (and his method was a lot less merciful than Jackson's Trail of Tears.) Oh well, at least we have the rules set. When...
