    This has to be the only way Trump wins in 2024.  If Hispanic voters break for Trump in a big way.  Trump losing Hispanics by only 5 points or so is terrible news for The Big Guy and could allow Trump to overcome the Not Trump Republican voters.   Combine that with RFK taking away more Biden voters than Trump voters with The Big Guy being a mush brain at this point in time, Trump unbelievably has a chance.

    I am not sure why RFKj is stealing JB voters...is it because he WAS a democrat?

    In the scenario I shared, the gun wielder is provoked by someone trying to tackle them before they've fired a shot.

    My problem is a combination of several factors, one of the main ones being that it's a big Republican thing that gun violence should be solved by random heroes. This is a problem when someone runs around the streets carrying a big gun he should have never brought/should not be showing, and then is treated as a hero after killing people. If the Republicans think heroes should stop mass shootings, they should be against open carry. Someone just carrying around a gun for everyone to see increases the chance of someone trying to be a hero and stopping them before they do any harm.

    Not for me, personally.  I have seen a few people carrying in public and it creeps me out and I stay away.  

     

    I don't get the cowboy way of life.

    The first guy shot had a plastic bag he was flinging around... Of the two other guys one had a pistol and the other a skateboard. I believe Rittenhouse killed the guy with the skateboard and the other guy with the pistol was shot in the arm. Again, both those men were shot after the initial incident where he shot the guy with the plastic bag that was chasing him.

     

    I've never thought he would be convicted of murder, but there is definitely room for a civil suit and maybe manslaughter based on all his actions that led to him being there. But whatever, he's still a woman beating piece of s#!t

    Oh yeah!  I remember the dude that got shot in the arm now.  

     

    Seems like forever ago.

    I may start a fund called the Inverse Teachercd.  Similar to the Inverse Creamer.  

    Some of the best advice I can give...don't listen to me!

    That's a lot of hyperbole. He was actually provoked and chased, so some form of self defense was justified. Now, he was also a minor in possession of a fire arm across state lines, and the response was disproportionate to the actual threat but the law doesn't really care about that.

    Didn't two dudes go after him and didn't they have guns?  I can't remember the entire thing now.

  6. This is really a case of Apple making a much better product.  Blackberry simply refused to adapt.  There was even a big "Yeah, I am not getting an iPhone, I use a Blackberry because I am a professional, not a child" sentiment.

    If you have more than $25k in your account this shouldn’t be the case.  You just need to make sure your account set as a margin account. 

    Yeah!  That is what it told me.

    I can't remember!

    Yeah... Never buy 0dte or around earnings. I've learned that lesson the hard way several times.

    I can't remember for sure but I needed it to go up like 20 more dollars...then it just collapsed in the last 45 minutes of trading.  I think I bought that for 275 and sold it for 20.

    You should be able to set limit orders and stops for specific values.

     

    I play with options a little, but it's literally gambling unless you have enough capitol to buy options that are 6 to 12 months in the future to reduce your risk.

    Hahaha!  SOOOO TRUE!  I was just saying that to a friend!

     

    Last Friday I bought an option on SMCI that expired that day!

    It did not end well for me!

    What I'm trying to figure out is if I can place an order that's good for maybe 30 days where if the stock drops 3% in a single day, it buys.  Or, if it increases 3% in a single day it sells.  So far, it doesn't look like I can do that.  I would need to really study the options game before I dive into actual puts and calls.  My class on that in college was over 30 years ago.  

    Funny you mention this!

     

    So, I used the "set alert" option on my account so that when, in this case, the stock hit a certain price that it would sell it but NOT before it hit that price.  It did not work.  It sold it right away.  

     

    But I think in theory that idea is suppose to work and would be awesome.

    I haven't done that in a very long time.  I typically buy a stock and very seldom sell.  But, it has crossed my mind with these.  I'm thinking about selling to get my original investment out.  Then, sell on an up day and buy and a down day.  Just to see what happens.

    Might as well, right?  

     

    There is money to be made!  And now with basically no trading fees it makes it super easy to make some extra cash.  

     

    I have been messing with some calls/options and I suck at that.  I might as well just toss my money in the trash.

    Investing in NVDIA, SMCI and SOUNW is not what an emotional investor should do.  :laughpound

     

    Up big and down big constantly.

    Dude, the ride with those 3 and a few others has been insane!

     

    I bought and sold SOUNW so many times in a short amount of time that my lame account got "Flagged" as being a day trader!  Haha
