    Warning. Biden administration are pushing for a major war

    China Buys More Iranian and Venezuelan Oil, in a Test for Biden Basically China is usurping the embargoes in place to get what they want and to thumb their nose at Biden. Buying oil from Iran and Venezuela specifically...and then blatantly helping North Korea. Biden gets a huge fail in...

    Parable of the Sower

    So... Isn't this more about a parable surrounding the soils than the Sower? And the thorns and weeds are the "cares of this life"... Exactly what does that person look like to the rest of us?

    The Nanny State

    And that is the point of the discussion... When is it truly my choice to entertain risk? And where is the point of not having the choice to entertain risks mandated by the Government? On what basis does the Government have the right to stop me from entertaining risks? Risk management is...

    The Nanny State

    Personal responsibility and your duty to others is a good point in favor of wearing a seat belt...on a Christian perspective. But our Government can't legislate religion. But that point aside. The hypocrisy of legislation to protect the citizenry of particular actions and then endorsing...

    The Nanny State

    I am just a guy who has many various talents and uses them all to keep myself out of trouble. I focus on things until I master them but then realize that my body is screaming for sustenance...so I then take care of it with a huge drink and lots of food. But then I'm told that I can't even buy a...

    Traders and Investors

    Well this morning doesn't look brighter...the VIX is down but not enough for me. The futures look mildly up as treasury yields gave up a couple of points...but too little too late. I'm expecting more falling prices today. It happened at the beginning of this month...more is coming as again more...

    The Nanny State

    You are correct...they won't cover my personal injuries in one... because of what they call contributory negligence...it's considered equivalent to a brake check. Where a person stops suddenly in front of another vehicle to create an accident. Any injuries caused by such are not covered by the...

    Warning. Biden administration are pushing for a major war

    Russia doesn't have the communications infrastructure that China does. It needs it but doesn't have it. Russia is losing the economic war simply because it can't get ahead of the grift and corruption of its own citizens. War with Russia? They can't afford one. PRC China has made themselves a...

    The Nanny State

    Seatbelts are for my protection...and not a bad idea. I agree that it's for my safety that I use one. But that shouldn't be a law in america. We don't have socialized medicine here...I pay insurance for access to medical care. I pay a lot for it too. But the risk is mine to either take or not...

    One of the things that brings success is the research into a stock. Look at it's chart. Know exactly how a stock behaves over earnings or over other news. Know how it's going to behave before it does it. Now invariably I will buy a stock and it will get cheaper within a few minutes...and...

    The Luck of The Irish Party Thread

    As an update on the corned beef. I have never done one before and if I had it would have been over 30 years ago. But it was excellent...the beef flavor as well as the spices really sang out. I asked my wife if it was good and she refused to answer but instead just made a bunch of sex noises...

    Why Do We Sin?

    One of the New Testament writers said something about Jesus being a second Adam... Just something else to put in your back teeth.

    Independence Day

    The next one is in four weeks. And then two weeks after that I am all the way free. I've gotten the Moderna vaccine. The side effects of the second shot are supposed to be a bit more than the Pfizer...or so the rumors are saying. I don't care...I just want out.

    Independence Day

    I just wanna get something off my chest... Mainly speaking of my beard. And I use straight razors...I don't buy blades. I just have to hone them every fourth shave and strop them before and after each shave. But I'm thinking that I look more like Cousin It from the Adams Family currently...

    The Nanny State

    What has really gotten to me the most lately was buying and selling of stocks... The government is trying to tell me how to do it and limiting the ways I can make money at it. OPM for shorting stocks was free...ok so these days the brokerages are getting a cut of the free money by charging...

    Telling the truth is no longer popular, even among many Christians

    There's something that I want to get off my chest... My beard... but I guess I'll have to use scissors and a razor for that. But in the meantime... People have itching ears and refuse to listen to facts...they hear what they want to hear. They listen to what they want. Conspiracy theories...

    Independence Day

    Today the countdown begins... I get shot. Woohoo . And in about a month I will be free to move about freely. The thing that is on the top of my list is a haircut.

    Oh... Something important for people to understand... SEC.gov | SEC Obtains Emergency Asset Freeze, Charges California Trader with Posting False Stock Tweets. Stock tips from social media. Totally goes against the rules I use for trading. Mostly because of the old axiom about "Pigs getting...

    Well... tonight the VIX is up but all other futures and indices are flat. Everyone is holding their breath to find out what the Fed Chairman is going to do tomorrow with rates. Inflation is the problem and worry. So everyone is keeping their powder dry and their arrows notched to deal with the...
