Re: Poll

Normally, I just read what others write in here and simply walk away from what I find as not interesting. Why are you so bothered by MJ ?

Re: I think it’s time to move into crypto

Why did LITECOIN surge so much yesterday? Not only Litecoin, but couple of others too, read it somewhere. What I got in essence is that the price urge is due to AMC Corp claiming they're looking forward to accept some of that crap before the end of the year as payment... (a sort of). IMHO that cryp...

Re: Why the "Total Stock Market" isn't anything of the sort

I do 50% SP500 and 50% Small Cap for the equities portion of my PP. I think it was MachineGhost who turned me on to it. Isn't it the GB that suggest that also ? In my purest US-PP I am using MSCI USA (has sthg like 630~640 constituents vs tad less than 500 for the S&P 500). This is an interesti...

Yes, indeed, you should follow the markets more closely .. stick your face to those steep charts (where there is a mile between the price and MA 20) ;D I exited today all of my momentum stocks. So far, so good - profit feels nice and heavy in the pocket. We are close to all time highs for both S&...
