Good points. Unfortunately, I think the FED and president overestimate the impact and power that monetary policy has. I always like to liken it to...
Things absolutely are bad. The key really is for people not to panic though. But investing is going to be a losing proposition for perhaps the...
I'm seriously wondering if that post about stops is fake. Nobody can be that stupid. Or at least I hope nobody can be that stupid.:D
I have a small position. I use it as a hedge against my long positions.
Increasing interest rates would have destroyed the US economy. If the dollar was strong, then increasing rates would have made sense. With a weak...
I don't think it will work, because if it was that easy to turn 250K into 5K, then just taking the opposite position would prove profitable and...
Well, I'm going to both agree and disagree with you. First, I'll agree that the value of the USD has to a great degree been based upon...
