Once you realize your broker sees your stops, and is allowed to "sell" access to them.
You STOP wondering how they knew where your stops were.

I won't trade because the markets are so artificial.

I told my daughter. Buy the index ETFs. Dollar Cost Average.
And if you want a slight advantage and you are long term. Buy on the second down day.
For example, if you set aside $100 /mo to buy. You only buy $80 worth, save 20% for the down day strategy. (more if you are young and aggressive).

Then I explained why it works:

1) The markets are RIGGED to go up. They swap losers with winners to maintain it.
2) The market is MOSLTY an inflation hedge. (Why do you think they are BORROWING money and spent all their cash on AI... Because they are getting rid of paper about the be set on FIRE with inflation, and they would rather hold debt and assets)

Now, the best thing is to just buy. Don't Trade. Rebalance.

JPMorgan did an analysis. They found that the people who performed their best, were the ones who lost their passwords, and simply held.

Do it for the gipper

I've found a great way to practice any new tradinging ideas. I opened a free simulatiuon account at Investopedia(dot)com.

Makes sense. Based on what I long ago saw~~methinks memory serves me right,.

Yeah, your buddy is on to something, I think. The selloffs come quick and are large. 5% drops in a day are not that unusual anymore. It's rough.

That's great.

Isn’t there only one option for gender surgery reassignment? Or maybe no choice at all? Ah Ah Ah…

I never thought of that. I agree.

And another good line was something to the effect of the computer asking him, "Do you want to play thermonuclear war?" Great movie!

The ASPCA had a lot to do with the demise of circuses.

I'm about ready to stop trading altogether.  Recent buys should have yielded nice gains, which they did for a while, but even with continued improvement there were big sell outs. I have a friend now that owns no stock overnight.  He has daily goals, when reached he's out. His whole market experience is short term.  Surprising to me, he's doing well.

Only in BUYING power.

But we have MORE millionaires than ever.
LOL

100% agree. If you DM me, I will send you my cell phone.. It would be my pleasure!

Oil supply shortage → oil price increase → oil is a used in almost everything → prices rise on everything?

I don't understand your positioning, can you elaborate? I know money supply causes it as well but both are root causes. "Too much money chasing too few goods". We are speaking about the too few goods; the average house hold doesn't have too much money. Rising interest rates doesn't fix this problem, IMHO. Every time a bank makes a loan, it creates money out of thin air. They then charge you for the privilege of using this money. This increases the supply of money in the economy but your saying that if it wasn't for the money supply the prices couldn't rise? This concept is called demand destruction and its horrible. I do think we are on the doorstep of demand destruction, just like what happened right before the housing crises. Oil spiked then collapsed to record lows; this is because no one had money to pay the prices. This is a failed economy.

Wisdom and wit! Wisdom and wit! Thanks, OUC, for another great start to my day. Oh, I think that cancer on the donkey is beyond removal because it now IS the donkey.

Me now an ancient dino was taken to several circuses as a growing kid.
Tonight a meme explained to me why circuses aren't around any more.

One of best friends did many of the electronic special effects.

Thanks for the home vs gold ozs ratios. Worth your weight in gold 1972 200lbs @ $32 per oz = $112,000 today worth $12,880,000.00

It would be fun to chat with you sometime.

Very good movie...

Well… they gotta collapse our country before 2030, right?

This election would end better if we could get the Democrats to vote for estate agents.
Great bunch! Thanks!
