TFC Commodity Trading Forum

Sorry...I have to comment on Trump

I can't find any setups in the market where I have more than a 50-50 guess at future direction. Before I go off on a rant unrelated to trading...ever since I got started with trading I heard people say trading futures is like gambling in Vegas. That is not true. In Vegas the house has the advantage to the tune of 95-5 probably. It may not be that skewed in the favor of the house but it's heavily skewed in their favor. Trading, on the other hand, is a 50-50 proposition because over time price only moves up or down. That, if you are not concerned with time, is at least a 50-50 shot. I contend if you can ride out the "anti-swings" you will have an even better than 50-50 shot. If you can withstand the draw downs and hold forever price will eventually go your direction making the odds may as high as 100%.

On to Trumps latest blowing up of the already in disarray democrat party. "Go somewhere else if you are miserable here". I agree. Life is short, you should not allow yourself to live in a situation where you are miserable. This country, contrary to what the leftest will tell you, is a place where the majority of people enjoy living with the freedoms and liberties afforded us under the constitution and we aint going to change the system to one where you say you will be happy, ie a socialist or communist style of rule.

I don't care if you came from elsewhere or where born here, what race you are, what sex you are, if you are miserable here...go to a country where you think you would be happy. I know one thing though, some of these people are perpetually miserable. They will not be any less miserable no matter where they go or what form of government they choose to live under. We could give in to their every demand and want and they would still be miserable. Some people are just miserable people. They waller in their own self pity and nothing you do will ever satisfy them.

Way to call em out Trump.
