    Owning a Dog Can Add 10 Years to Your Life

    I worked for a while with a physician who treated recovering addicts. He had a lot of success helping people battling addiction. His basic prescription was to ensure his patients received any needed treatment for mental health issues, and to instruct them to get off every single addictive...

    College Is Not An Option

    The question is always: whose economy? Back in the depths of the financial crisis with 10% to 11% unemployment in the US, the unemployment rate among white-collar workers with graduate degrees remained less than 4%. If your customers are well heeled, you do not have to worry so much about the...

    College Is Not An Option

    My cleaning lady is doing very well for herself. She does not take any poor clients; most of those she is cleaning for are multimillionaires. They refer their friends. I was referred by a friend who is very well-heeled, and I believe I may be the woman's poorest client--judging by the other...

    Where is the money coming from?

    There are probably plenty of people keeping it in safe deposit boxes. Yes, it's on a list of things you can't put in safe deposit boxes, but no one checks.

    Still More Evidence of Rampant Trump Corruption Surfaces

    I'm having this great mental picture of Trump and Giuliani in the joint, fighting over the top bunk.

    Why isn't IB up here defending themselves?

    I've been reasonably happy with them but my system is pretty simple. However, my original question is not about whether they are any good.

    To stop looking at all this stupid crap on ET.

    Why isn't IB up here defending themselves?

    Shows you how much they think they need us retail nobodies. Kinda insulting.

    Who needs the federal reserve?

    This might have been answered by my 90-something friend, who when "fired" by her cardiologist (who told her she did not really need a cardiologist), responded, "Well, I want one. All my friends have one."

    Whither US Treasuries?

    Bought my 30-yr bonds back a couple of months ago. Looks like I might need a new saddle to settle in for a long ride. Do people think rates will really go negative? It's hard to believe.

    Statins

    I can never figure out why people think they can tool around on a bunch of dotcom sites for a few hours--sites directed at sales and hype (not education or peer review)--and put together a thesis that's contrary to that of learned individuals who have spent their entire lives studying these...

    Trump's propaganda arm pulls all the stops to expose Jeff Bezos

    I'm a woman who is currently being extremely careful what she clicks on. If I have to see Bezos naked it will ruin my entire month.

    Just when you thought Virginia could not sink further

    Can we find two good people in Sodom and Gomorrah? Ha. This has nothing to do with "the Democrats" or "the Republicans." The people of Virginia voted for these clowns. As long as people keep voting for narcissists, the beatings will continue. All the wrong people are ruling things. The very...

    Risk Management Psychology

    What is the worst drawdown you are willing to tolerate? And how should you allocate your funds so that this drawdown is possible, but larger losses are not? Those are the questions you have to answer. The first question is about yourself. The second is about your trading system.

    These numbers show Suze Orman is right about needing $5 million to retire

    Happy Holidays, everyone. I'm offering a different perspective here. I agree neither with Orman (who preaches to the financially inept and does not tailor her message for those with some ability to manage money) nor with the FIRE group. For most people, I believe something in between is best...

    These numbers show Suze Orman is right about needing $5 million to retire

    Volpri, I am sorry about your daughter's passing. She'll stay forever in your heart. Thank you for sharing. We all need to keep some perspective about what is really important in life.

    You are not a trader until you ...

    What is happening now after 10 years of a bull market is that every young pipsqueak thinks they know what they are doing. You're not a trader until you lose some money. As long as you think you are a genius who cannot lose, you're still waiting to become a trader. So, I heartily support the...

    Saudi Uproar

    Yes, exactly, and by beheading them. Not to mention all the Yemenis they have killed. So why are we acting like we give a shit? Why is Peggy Noonan writing a stupid editorial saying that the US used to act (any maybe should continue to act) ashamed of selling weapons to the world? Since when do...
