    I was honest about a trade, i was dead wrong on where i was all in and i lost 1k, i admitted i was wrong, I EXPLAINED IT, and moved on....

    lol If People are dancing over my grave on this one, its going to be a long dance. A thousand bucks is nothing. Frankly i was happy that i ONLY lost 1k, i was looking at a 3500-5000 dollar loss at one point, so manuevering my way out of that felt like a win.

    A thousand dollar loss is basically a hiccup, sorry to say.

    I think what happened to you, letting media reports impact your financial strategy, shows the dangers of the right wing media on people.

    You learned you were wrong because you could quantify it with a loss and you had to adjust to the actual right information or face worse consequences.

    But how many people are walking around with corrupted ideas on climate change, economics, healthcare etc due to being biasedly influenced by corrupt right wing media? These people will never correct because they don’t have a way to quantify the biased information they are fed through the right wing media.

    I dunno its hard to quantify, but if i had to guess, its probably very similar to the number of people wearing "Kaep" shoes. :D

    MIT Professor Simon Johnson on MarketWatch.com 10/31/16: "A big adverse surprise — like the election of Donald Trump in the U.S. — would likely cause the stock market to crash and plunge the world into recession."



    From CNN Money article 10/24/16: "If Donald Trump wins the election, U.S. stocks (and likely many other markets overseas) will almost certainly tank. How big of a drop? Forecasting firm Macroeconomic Advisors predicts an 8% fall in the U.S. A new paper out Friday from the Brookings Institute projects a 10% to 15% nosedive. You get the idea."



    Mark Cuban in Fortune magazine 9/7/16: “In the event Donald wins, I have no doubt in my mind the market tanks,” Cuban said."

    I wonder how much those guys made shorting stocks after Trump won?

    Here's the teaser.

    4/20/2018 in iPhone "All Photos" and it's there at the bottom. I will be happy to post a video of me logging into that checking account ending in "7162" and providing a r/t view of the transaction provided once Baron has a paid & canceled check for $250 from the convict, vanzandt. The bottom four pics relate to the aerhq donation and there are three more (unseen) dated 4/20/2018 in "All Photos." I will send Baron the actual paper statement.

    People only lie when they don’t want to face the truth.

    Trying to villianize a civil rights protest needs lies to keep it going. You got lied to. Normally, these lies pass with time and people don’t have to own up to them. That’s what makes the right wing media last because their lies, like Trump’s lies, don’t have to last longer than a day or so until they move on to the next lie and everyone forgets about the previous lies.

    You happened to have gotten caught up in an per shot lie that started costing you and you had no choice but to correct.

    The kneelers are not protesting civil rights, they are protesting nothing, there is no statistic you can show me that says black people get killed by cops at a higher rate, on top of disrespecting the anthem, they are making shit up.

    really.... I mean most are probably clean shoots as I am not one that thinks that a ton of police are bad, maybe you meant 'unjustifiable killings'?

    Black people are actually killed at a lower percentage than the violent crime they commit here is the actual stats.

    https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013/tables/table-43

    So based on your thread black people get shot 30% of the time, while they commit half of all violent crimes, gee, why do you think they are getting shot?


    They are getting shot by cops in numbers that are directly proportional to the crime they commit, just like white people are getting shot according to crime. Its not a conspiracy.
