Although I thoroughly enjoy watching intruders get spanked with water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets, a wall is desperately needed in the most high-traffic of areas along our Southern border. #buildthatwall  

The shutdown is coming. Trump will not sign the bill as is.

Well take it. This to me is a justified drop. Sometimes you have to rob Peter to pay paul.

People loosing their retirement money is hardly ever justified.  If he really wanted the wall he should have put more pressure on the Mexican Government before signing a trade deal with them.

He had to do something. He put enough pressure for congress to put up the vote. Good for him. 

He has a working relationship with Mexico. And if his deal and the wall helps keep out a big percentage of illegals I'll take it. 

Paul ryan telling at trump about turning down the original bill is ridiculous. Has paul ryan done anything other than delay and stall til he leaves. 

As you can see these companies profits are based off paying people nothing and everytime trump takes away their employees who accept these low wages their stocks go down.

You seem to be a quick thinker and like finance, too bad you are not a day trader as you could jump in and out of a stock several times a day, instead of a trend trade that you did with MPX which can be kind of boring.  Something to think about.

Yes I'm a very quick thinker. It's good and bad as many thoughts cross my mind all day. 

Without knowledge of how to do it or understanding of it wouldn't I be setting myself up to fail?

@ohio AG Whitaker take on Mexico

Acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker Statement Regarding the Administration's Agreement with Mexico

Acting Attorney General Matthew G. Whitaker today released the following statement: 

"Because of loopholes in our laws, tens of thousands of illegal aliens have been able to enter this country, make meritless asylum claims, and then be released and disappear into the United States. But the Trump administration has been taking steps to close these loopholes and eliminate the incentives to come here illegally.  Today the Trump Administration has taken an historic step that will reverse the trends and help restore the rule of law at the border. The Department of Justice will do its part and ensure that we make available the necessary and appropriate resources in light of this historic agreement. Thanks to this and other Trump Administration decisions, the days of our generosity being abused are coming to an end

Yes.

But that goes for anything.  You need to know what your are doing.  It can be playing the ponies, black jack, or day trading.  The best way to learn is by reading a good book(s) on day trading and watching YouTube videos.  Then trying to trade on a practice account with fake money and see how well you do.  If you have a knack for it, you can make a ton of money quickly, but if you are not then you could lose a lot as well.  The practice account lets you see how if you have a knack for it without losing real money.

You don't have to know the financial fundamentals in day trading, but do have to know how to read charts and follow the news of the company or companies that you are trading.  You also have to get out of a position if you see it start to go down.  So you can't be hesitant about getting out of a losing trade.  You also have to be patient about holding on to a winning trade.

The one thing good about day trading is that you don't have to hold of overnight on trades, thus reducing stress.  Plus you see instant success or failure.

So, don't day trade unless you are polished.

FYI...remember what I said about Legislature being free from arrest while in session??? 🤔   

 

Maybe as in just 'maybe' there was an actual reason T seemed to REALLY want the government shutdown...

Might want to hold off on the taunts until you make sure there is nothing under HSFB's tree... like a much larger gift....

Cranford bribed Arkansas elected officials in a multi-million-dollar scheme, plus embezzled millions of dollars from PFH, working with PFH executives, Jonathan Woods, Henry Wilkins IV, Eddie Wayne Cooper, and Donald Andrew Jones. He also worked with APPOINTED officials on legislation to help the charity, as well as steering grants and other sources of funding to the charity.

Cranford is a central figure in other ongoing investigations as well. Cranford’s connections filter straight into the Clintons. Future indictments and connections will all be rolled up in a follow-up article.
