    Will the consumer spend again?

    i went on a trip a couple months ago and it was fine except some of the anxious wierdness of low-budget (hehe, my favorite kinds of hotels to tell you the truth!) hotel staff, and some of my personal issues which flared up. Also, one person in the town i was staying in gave me wierd looks...

    Will the consumer spend again?

    There seems to be a consensus among scientists that your less likely to get the virus outdoors, but being indoor in crowded places is asking for trouble.

    Will the consumer spend again?

    I think you've got some flaws in your predictions: 1. The interest rates are low, so there shall be more home expenditures until we see a bottom out event kinda like the 2008 recession. Someone in my family sold a house a few months ago, during the beginning of the pandemic fears (IMO the...

    Feedback on Trading FAQ's

    The best way I can put it is that from a beginner perspective, this $20 eBook is trash. They talk about metrics, such as ROR (Risk of Ruin), but there is no explanation of any of these things: -What is the risk of ruin used for? -How do you calculate your risk of ruin? A decent technical...

    Let's talk about the big dogs

    You don't have to constantly watch the stock market in order to make a profit. Warren Buffet basically just tells people to hang onto reliable stocks forever, and he's a billionaire. He doesn't fallow his own advice, but different approaches suite different people. I don't really like to make...

    Good books to explain trading terminology/lingo/metrics

    Not understanding finance jargon is the reason why I've been so hesitant to trade for such a long time. For example, one of the most commonly talked about metrics in stocks is the P/E ratio, but i've never seen anyone explain how you can use that when making decisions about what to buy and when...

    Let's talk about the big dogs

    I've basically ignored the stock market over the past few months because i don't like anxiety and i personally feel that getting rich has a limited value to it. However, i just looked at amazon's share price, it has effing doubled since the last time i payed them any mind! It was worth around...

    Been made personally bankrupt - can I still trade?

    Jeez, looks like what you did didn't work out for you.... my recommendation for continuing is to have a bankroll, as in, have a carefully separated amount/percentage of funds so that you can play this game and eat at the same time. Don't sacrifice immediate comforts for future money, a lot of...

    Questions for day traders

    Questions for day traders

    Thanks I'll keep that in mind, of course i look forward to hearing about more tools and patterns, day trading is professional gambling so one pattern may not always work even if it nets a profit on average.

    Questions for day traders

    So, when you wake up in the morning to choose a nice stock to exploit, how do you start looking for it? I know that low-value, volatile stocks are ideal for day trading, but there are more than one of these. How can you predict when the price is going to spike so you can buy it before hand and...

    What's the difference between a debt and a liability?

    well, that's true, a clever accountant will make the company look healthier than it actually is. Companies, like the treasury, can manufacture value if you will. Trust nobody, trust in nothing!
