Juneteeth, options expire on Friday, and buying CDs or treasuries...

Same here. They want to have it as a holiday that's fine but they shouldn't make it as a bank holiday. Shutting down everything just so we can lose one more day of productivity is just ridiculous.

I wonder who we can talk to have it not as a bank holiday? Is it the SEC or FINRA? Who looks after this holiday s***?

yeah...what the hell do they want next? reparation for slavery? oops....they already passed a law for it!

 

[EllisWyatt]

yeah i trade futes and plan to trade it on this bs holiday if i see any good opportunities. but do u realize the liquidity dries up for futes when the stonk market is closed right? come on...how long u been trading futes?

Are we up to 2 sim micros now, thus the concern for sufficient liquidity?

I think you are confusing "liquidity" for huge wild swings every day. Yes, the movement is slower, but it is there. It's a great time for scalpers who like to trade turtle markets.

To answer your question "how long u been trading futes"...Probably longer than you have. At least I post a journal for everyone to see here, unlike you who lauds your winnings over everyone in every thread you get a chance to.

Abashi the sock puppet says, "Quit yer bitchin'!" <------(If you or anyone else gets that reference without looking it up, I'd be amazed.)

i don't like slow moving day like today...anyway did u trade futes today 6/16/23? if yes how did u do with your one lot micro? i took 3 scalp trades today on es and made $125 today and $22 on grubhub and door dash.

i'm not overnight...i don't trade micro and trade e-mini and a little of crude and gold. and it ain't sim...it is real money. overnight can vouch for me.

That there above is the reason I am not going to vouch for you...That looking down your nose at people like me who are trying their hardest to do the best they can with what they have. And we don't need a bloody timestamp when you say "today" every time you ask people that. We know what the date is.

If you want to know how I traded "futes" today, it's in my journal here.

And don't be a broken record and for the second time type stupidly, "Where is here"? You're on your own, door dash pirate.

Vincent isn't credible.

Vincent is upset that his DoorDash business will be down with all the banks being closed. The closest he gets to trading is the lobby of Morgan Stanley waiting to deliver a bagel.

reparation for slavery...

I bit the bullet and read, as a work of literature, Alter's gloves-off translation of the Old Testament. It seems to me the core argument against reparations is along the lines of Ezekiel 18:20.

The "reverend" Al Sharpton and anyone who adheres to an abrahamic religion (2/3 of world population) would be unable to reconcile reparations with their religion. Not that they've shown much concern about integrating their other discordant views.

 

[EllisWyatt]

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

That is why Emancipation Day is worthy of commemoration.

Has any other country, in the recorded history of the world, gone to war with itself in order to establish individual freedom? A freedom the already-free fought for, and won, with their last full measure of devotion, for the primary benefit of others unfree and of lower social status.
