How have you been dude

I've been really busy recently. Supervisor just told me I'd be working weekends till July and staying late every day till 8pm....

Contacted a national firm that I did an internship with and talked for like 20 minutes with the FA I shadowed a couple years back for school. Trying to get an in this year long training with them.

Meanwhile my supervisor drops hints that my job isn't safe.

I hear you, brother.

I rarely enter "one trade" at a time, per se...I usually enter a "sequence" of trades. I used to give myself 2% to play with. I've now gone up to 5% (and double that on a couple smaller accounts.).

I rarely go near it, though. If the bastards have me, I'm usually out around 2-3%, but having the extra bit of room can be helpful. I rarely get it so far wrong that there isn't going to be some sort of retrace soon. I'll often lose a chunk, but then make it back fairly quickly when the original move I was playing, eventually happens. Just the odd time...they stretch the stop run further than I was initially expecting, and playing.

You won't get any scorning from me by moving to 5%. Just stay consistent. Get a few under your belt with the extra amount you'll lose. See how the heart and head take it. If the trough is short lived on the e-curve...fak it...go for it! Gotta spend it to make it.

AUD... Rate change (supposedly built in) @ 4.25 @ 2130 PST

I see possible buying opp. still in the 0375/ 0336 area...Looks like a dead fish right now though across the board for the last few hours..But this thing will shake later...GL!

Short view I kinda agree with here

LOL @ Stephen King on raising taxes for the rich. I like this guy.

“Tough shit for you guys, because I’m not tired of talking about it,” King said. “I’ve known rich people, and why not, since I’m one of them? The majority would rather douse their dicks with lighter fluid, strike a match, and dance around singing ‘Disco Inferno’ than pay one more cent in taxes to Uncle Sugar.”

I will agree with raising taxes on the rich when the poor will pay as well. Raise taxes on the rich, raise taxes on the poor as well.. I have a big problem with "fairness" and who decides what's fair... I certainly don't want the sheep to decide.. Also fuck all those rich people that complain not paying enough taxes. If they feel guilty, they should just write a check to the fucking IRS. Fucking assholes, they make me throw up.

Yep. I'm totally about the fair tax. Everyone pays a set percentage of their total income. No write offs, no nothing. If you make a shit load of money, you pay a shitload in taxes, but its still the same proportion.

Would make tax season a hell of a lot easier too... We could dismantle the part of the government that interprets tax code. See, savings for everyone!

On the flip side, no matter how much money we give the government, it's not like the money will be managed correctly anyways.

DEBT?? Why not! WEEEEEE

Time to succeed from these dooshnuggets. I proclaim the isle of V and no longer view the US Government as a governing authority. Come get me, suckazzz!!!
