Actually it's fear management and is only tangentially related to any other sort.

False comfort. Unless one is capable of determining direction, this 2% risk business does nothing more than postpone the inevitable.

Before moving on from this, I will point out to those who are following along that if one focuses on the state of one's trade rather than on what price is doing, he will most likely miss the opportunities being provided by the market. This focus on one's self is a behavior that is difficult to...

Republican-leaning states are a lot more dependent on the federal government than Democratic-leaning ones. That's according to a recent analysis from the personal finance site WalletHub, which ranked states based on how much they rely on Uncle Sam to support their state finances. To calculate...

You bet. Indoor plumbing. Store-bought soap. Sliced bread.

Better than Lincoln. Wow!

Keeper of the Flame It's no surprise that Keeper of the Flame came out in 1942, the same year as Casablanca. In this would-be film noir, the problems of two little people again don't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to fighting fascism in other countries--not to mention the United...

A Muslim American man carrying a duffel bag that holds six homemade explosives, a machete, and poison spray travels to a major U.S. airport. The man enters the airport, approaches the TSA security checkpoint, and then sprays two TSA officers with the poison. He then grabs his machete and chases...

No, you haven't upset me. But you assume that if you make money, you win and that if you lose money, you lose. This is incorrect. You win if you follow your plan. You lose if you don't. The money is irrelevant. If you have a plan, what is it?

Yes and no. The later you are, the more likely you are to get stopped out unless you use the "danger point" stop, which is likely too wide for you. In fact, it's too wide for most people. But it's worth keeping in mind even if you don't use it. But what I meant in this example was that it was...

Ever give a party and the last guest just will not leave and you wanna go to bed and he stands at the door droning on and on and on about crap you care nothing about?

Nice, particularly re picking up on the hinges. I'll withhold comment otherwise for now.

If you transmit your stops instead of keeping them in your head, you have a choice of how and when they're triggered: bid, ask, last, double last, etc. Or at least you should. This helps to avoid being SO by "glitch ticks", or tick burps. As to my question about the entry being too late, that...

And who proposed it? Who urged it? Who insisted that the US would collapse without it?
