Blade_Runner Loc: DARK SIDE OF THE MOON

Yep, a mob of democrat actors dressed up like patriots.

The true Republicans would be better.

I spent a few years in the commodities business, working for a major firm in NY back in the early 1980s. I did okay in trades I did for myself, mostly in metals, coffee and cocoa and futures indices.

The small clients who go in like they're playing craps may as well be, whether in futures or on the stock side, with the exceptions bring those who caught a good IPO or had a sharp AE who got them into stocks or futures positions that paid off. However, that's not an everyday thing for any one person.

The winners were those who invested in growth issues, things that they bought cheap and held for a long time while the stock grew, or people who invested in well managed funds.

The most I ever made on one stock was a purchase of Northrup back in the early 80's. The stock went up very quickly, more than 20 points, then split, and I came away from blowing it out when it levelled off with a nice chunk of change.

Over 20 years later, as Northrup- Grumman, I bought their stock again when I heard they were about to purchase TRW, and scored again.

Both times I had sufficient capital and was paying attention. As a rule, though, those who make money on Wall Street, besides the bookies brokers, are the folks who make long term investments in companies with growth potential.

That's what Warren Buffett does -- he'll buy millions of dollars' worth of stock in a company that looks like it's at rock bottom and hold on to it for years, and eventually the company and the stock turn around and gain appreciable value.

Of course, Buffet does his due diligence and also seems to have a nose for future winners.

Having said all that, yes, it is essentially a casino.

Know what you're saying. I've had a couple of good stocks on my hunches, not my brokers hunches. Matter of fact my broker told me once that he wished he had listened to me. My one big score was enough to pay off my mortgage and I still have some of that stock left. But it is all a gamble, and I'm not always so lucky, which is why I don't have much in the markets. LOL

IMHO: Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups! The dims can't win a f**r e******n, but they are a large group of stupid sheeple, and unfortunately for normal people, they are being herded by some pretty fart smellers, er smart fellers, who would c***t or even k**l to see the USA DEAD. Biden is just their goat, it's Harris they want in because she will follow their lead no matter how insane, and they will take Biden out if he gets elected and doesn't bow out soon enough to suit their Harris/Biden agenda.

"stupid sheeple" that didn't v**e for the lying POS trump?

Seth

Eddie Murphy was spot-on in Trading Places when he told the two brothers who owned the Commodities firm "so you're bookies."

Seth

Bad Bob, your ilk aren't merely sheep, you are a cross breed of sheep and lemming.

Abel

That's the ones.

Now that’s a childish response. Why not debate the facts as you know them instead of a Whoopi cushion. You Trump supporters don’t want to debate because you can’t deny what comes out of Trumps mouth you just choose to ignore and protect Trump from his foolishness. ( YUP WE HAVE ROUNDED THE CORNER ON C****AV***S) 😂😂😂😂😂😂whst a stupid comment.

No Fox News and Russian are Republican facts.

How about the Bush administration officials are they never Trumpers. Seems to me that a lot of republicans are jumping off the Clown car of propaganda, conspiracy theories and flat out lies that make up the Trump party. Because as I look around most republicans who believe in conservatism are jumping of the Trump ship. Never have I seen so many conservatives endorsing Biden. Me for one I will never v**e for a republican that enables Trump to create a d******e nation And cozy’s up to dictators.
