What Really Grinds My Gears

Education Beats BS Every Time

The main title alludes to the final link here, I’ll say no more on that. But I do get enraged when people are sucked into stockmarket trading with no education. They think they can read a news article in the FT and suddenly they are an expert on TechPharmaHumanResourcesCommodities.plc. “Oil is a good investment” they say at $100 a barrel and “we have hit peak oil”. No we haven’t hit peak, and oil is now $50. Just STOP IT! Forget those foolish ideas of how to make money in the stockmarket and get the real deal: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/options.html . We love CME, but we love all the educators in options. Nobody does this with stocks- because you cannot trade stocks like options. You can either buy or sell,that’s binary and limits your choices. I have the same disdain for forex-you have to guess a direction.

We can be wrong in every way and STILL make money. Followers here know that.Newbies- welcome

Is The stockmarket Bull Run Over?

Well the bull**** is alive and well-yet UK savings have not been this low since the 60s. The number of listed companies in the U.S. rose 50 percent from 1976 to 1996 and fell 50 percent from 1996 to 2016. And ……….margin loans* in the US are the highest EVER. I don’t read this and get optimistic but I don’t have to ‘buy and hope’. I’m always positioned for a drop- and at those times I make my biggest profits.

Where I Get All My Philosophical Views From

  • you can borrow against your stock-that’s like getting a second loan on your car because it’s an asset. It doubles the buying power of stupid.
