    Where is the S&P 500 going if it follows the path of 1929-1930

    IMO, we are entering the lost decade or more. Boomer will die (thankfully) and the world will change. Grandpa’s stock picks, like oil have high floats and no buyers. As younger generations buy stocks, it has been proven time and time again that they are going green and away from old...

    TSLA 2019

    Turned off Futures

    I have not tried them. I was just doing 1 contract of either ES or CL. I think I just have to gravitate to where I was/am more comfortable.
