Re: Tax Loopholes Don't Exist

I did not equate legality with morality; you did. I simply pointed out the absurdity of your "morality" that following the rules is wrong, that following the law is not right, that doing what is legal is not right. Therefore, your "morality" is that the law is wrong and breaking ...

The Feinstein whiner has stated many times that the Trump tax laws are unfair and wrong and that she wants to change them back. When tax time rolls around again, will yo...

Any whiner (ie, Chicago Tribune, Shumer, Feinstein, et al) that accuses someone of taking advantage of a TAX LOOPHOLE (even though that someone obeyed the law and followed the established rules) is simply making up sh_t because they're frustrated that that someone refuses to accept the punishment th...

Re: "Go away in May"

Historically, the "go away in May" literally referred to NY Stockbrokers "going away" to their summer homes in the Hamptons for the season. Maybe they came back in September because it got to cold to play on the beach. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: "Quadruple Witching" Options Expiration on Friday, June

Remember in these days before Friday's expiration that share price moves may trigger option call-ins and that can further affect market direction. One big news story and everything changes.

China doesn't have to be in the I fund to adversely affect the I fund with it's slowing economy; it will affect the C fund too. If China's economy tanks, it will depress the rest of the world's economies.

I use the stockcharts.com free charts though I plan to buy a subscription to take advantage of the extensive scanning function and intraday charting...
