No. Sort of like now. Mostly "hopers". Couldn't be "rich" traders... some of the Bid/Ask prices had zero contracts listed.
Really? From you experiences and opinion, why do you think right now there are no rich ES retail traders? Many struggle and have some frustration.
Just like always. A low percentage "get it" and prosper. The rest are trying their best to figure it out.
The basic concepts of "Price TA" are as they have always been... "Buy Support Sell Resistance Chase Breakouts... both directions Trade with stops" But there are other challenges... mostly the ones between a trader's ears. "Get 'em mostly right"... and it's like finding money in the street. Screw something(s) up and it's a struggle. Never going to be any different.
Absolutely. For that (a couple thousand). The IRS would just adjust the taxes owed and send a bill with interest. I plead the fifth. One more thing. If people don't want to pay taxes on their gains, then they should consider moving to a country that doesn't tax capital gains, or at the very least ones who charge a low flat rate.
Hello Scataphagos, Everything you said is correct. I agree with you fully. I mean, there is no option.
There is nothing wrong with putting young hard working people in prison. Prison is the american way. Hard Times is REAL. Soon, the black vans (electric vans like Amazon prime) will be loading crypto traders and taking them directly to federal prison. Crypto Courts is now REAL. Crypto Lawyers, Crypto Judges, Crypto Bail... CellBlock Coin... CellBlock.X --- yes..you can pay bail with CellBlock Coin
