I can be in and out in minutes, and stay flat in the market overnight, over the weekend, etc. No long-term worry about being caught while the market crashed, and hedging a position is easy.<br /><br />Of course, all of this takes education and learning, but it's all out their folks. Pick up your own ball and run with it.<br /><br />After watching money "managers" use my money to get slaughtered in the market, I decided that I could do better.

Not even if all their wealth was confiscated. So at some point the banksters are going to have to turn on each other.<br /><br />I don't know how that might play out and what that will look like, though.Robert What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863449539859132763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-29888267600894033052015-05-20T03:40:12.557-07:002015-05-20T03:40:12.557-07:00A couple of months ago, there was a paper that sug...A couple of months ago, there was a paper that suggested that if the finance sector grows beyond 3.9% of the economy, any growth beyond that point is coming at the expense of the rest of the economy. rather than facilitating the operation of the greater economy, being rather deleterious. <br /><br />more mould than yeast, if you willalnoreply@blogger.com
