Oooh, de Montaigne - good stuff (and something I definitely believe in)! Yeah; I do seminars for professionals, where I teach them to make big...
On the dot. I understand the need to be cautious and use your judgement (as in anything in life, duh!), but being a coward is far worse than...
@qlai , perhaps you should look up the meaning of "irony" (hint: it does not mean "kinda like iron.") I was poking fun at the silly idea of...
Forgot to list this one from yesterday: SPY 191018P285 4.02cr Then, today happened: SPY 191018P285 2.93db from 4.02cr Nice $105.00 overnight...
A Romulan Bird of Prey in the Aldebaran sector - which is obviously synthetically equivalent to 16 gutted larks in a pear tree - has...
