Guys, it's easy to prove that Rod Carew did not win 7 batting titles. Inflation and recession can easily be shown.

@gfm, is Trump Jesus?

It's not Minnie Ripperton or Carly Simon or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S3Yt-NxY0E.
Just having some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv6dMFF_yts fun.


You guys are easy targets. Sorry.


I actually hope to meet Sina and the band she is in in Germany.

The stock market is not a zero sum game. Capitalism creates wealth.


Money ain't a thing.

For everything bought there is an equal amount sold. All sales minus all expenses are zero.



Your statement is correct. It does not account for an increase in the cost of what is being bought. This increase is always considered as inflation.


Inflation is the result of inequality in the zero sum game that is money.
...deleted repeat of misinformation novel and bad examples...

Money is not a zero sum game either.


It is what it is and it will not change just because you say so.

I've read about it before. As for your post, this might have little influence on it. It's more about profiting from short term trading. And when people wonder why day traders lose money, this would be why. In the short term, these traders would most likely make stock prices volatile for everyone except for themselves. And that's where what you posted seems to be about long term trends.

Hey nice chatting with you James...

I don't have knowledge of order flow information, so I'm just a speculator when it comes to trading / investing.

As for the influence of automated trading or high frequency trading, my opinion is lots of traders / investors usually have a plan on what price will trigger them to buy a stock, or sell a stock for profit, or sell a stock to minimize losses. And people program themselves, by a machine or by their own brain, to execute a trade when their planned price point gets triggered.

When the price falls it is usually relatively fast and seems to trigger more people to act in a short time. If the price is rising it is usually relatively slow, and doesn't trigger as many people in a short time, but more people over a long time.

For people who have order flow information, they have a better idea of what will trigger automaton traders, and can "front run" them, as they say.

My opinion is traders without knowledge of order flow information (the dumb money) need to have long term strategy and should not try to compete against those with such knowledge (the smart money) in the short term. Bad risk management.

But also, IMO, on the flip side, all stocks must be sold: they aren't some giving tree that guarantees growth of retirement savings, through some generic diversification strategy.

Although the Nasdaq, for the past 50 years, sure does seem to prove my last paragraph dead wrong.

As I mentioned, for what you post, it will take time to consider. Your position isn't short term gains. Those are different. For ITN and company there is always https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao-Sahfy7Hg.


@Spongy, might not be the right forum for it but it is allowed here, what you see in the long term trends of the stock market might warrant its own thread. And if people wish to go away from the subject, they can always be reminded of other threads where they can say what it is they wish to say.

You must sell a stock if you want to profit.

If you don't want to profit, then by all means, just hold your stocks forever.

Someone who manages a business, such as its founder(s) or officers, get to take portion of the revenue.

Common stock holders are not entitled to anything like this, unless the company chooses to pay them a dividend.

If you want to buy a dividend paying stock and hold onto it so long as to try to collect as much in dividend payments as you invested in the stock, good luck.

No need. The value of the stock goes up as long as the company is doing well. That's how the founders and officers make most of their wealth as well.
