I do 99.9% of my gambling in the stock market because it historically is positive sum. Even with costs (commissions, fees, bid/ask spread). For me to win, you don't have to lose. Straight gambling cannot offer this.

That's why one keeps 10 years of cash (or equivalent) as a cache to weather those downturns. I'd recommend 6 years, but something that you could draw from while markets recover. It seems as if the cadence of market downturns and

Don't believe so. I got hellbanned for selling, buying something new, and selling that all in one day. Hey, I'm easily confused. You can sell and immediately buy with the proceeds but cannot sell the newly purchased shares unti

This is crowd sourcing to create a coordinated attack like DDOS-ing, but how did we get here? Over-shorting. How did we get there? Hedge fund data sharing dinners? So this seems more like a swing back in the other direction. I presume w

When it comes to buying things I find my satisfaction is much higher when I spend money to remove an irritant rather than get something completely new. Our home has a long run from the water heater to basically anywhere it is used (This is
