    You bet, only like green and not red.

    Once stocks sold by corporations, stocks either make money for some and lose for others, gains are taxed to help economy for new roads but much is wasted. I think overall though, owning stocks is like a coin collection, hope for capital appreciation, and best to own dividend stocks. I believe once a decade or longer, you wait for massive drop, then have the guts to buy buy buy dividend stocks, sell puts once trending up, study topping formations so can hedge open profits.

    Other funds trade commodities.

    I think it's unAmerican to not sell short, name of the game is knowledge makes money.

  3. If there may be any unethical humans around, pinnacle of the listing is the no correct politicians writing all the ones tax loopholes for his or her billionaire pals to use. Second is the billionaires who line the wallet of those no correct politicians with tens of tens of thousands and thousands of marketing campaign cash, in a quid seasoned quo. Third, maximum immoral are the corrupt judges, lawyer generals who refuse to put into effect US legal guidelines as written and selectively, put into effect US legal guidelines. There are more, the traitors who betray the United States in our intelligence offerings who promote out US navy secrets and techniques to overseas governments for monies. Add the dumb citizens who placed those SOBs in power.

  5. Every year, July-August, there is a decline in trade, because everyone goes on vacation. This is normal. traders should rest too!

    Trading activity sometimes might be boring. I guess the reason for this is the lack of variety, you know. Every day you do the same things, you conduct analysis accroding to the graphic, open a position, wait until the time will be expired (in case we speak of intraday traders and FTT) and then whether get your money or lose it. This process might be considered as boring because you systematically do the same things from day to day. However, I suppose there are some options who to diversify your trading day. You either start trading several assets or permanently think of various strategies like how to enter the position. You should think of how to do it by several different options.

    Traders lose money from being bored. Why? They trade to add excitement just like any other gambler. Never trade to combat boredom.
