also ... and barely on topic... Winners (always*) overpay. Buying the dips is a subscription to the belief that winners win by underpaying - when in actuality winners (inevitably/always*) win by overpaying... it’s amazing the percentage of traders who think winners win by underpaying ... “Winners (always*) overpay.” ... One way to implement this ‘belief’ is to only reenter when prices have emphatically resumed the 'trend' . (Fwiw, While “Winners (always*) overpay.” holds true in most endeavors (relationships, business, sports, etc...) - “Winners (always*) overpay.” is especially true for auctions... continuous auctions included.)

re: "Does it make sense to always buy the dips? “Buy the dip.” You hear this all the time in crypto investing trading speculation gambling. [zdo taking some liberties] It refers, of course, to buying more bitcoin (or digital assets) when they go down in price: when the price “dips.” Some people brag about “buying the dip," showing they know better than the crowd. Others “buy the dip” as an investment strategy: they’re getting a bargain. The problem is, buying the dip is a fallacy. You can’t buy the dip, because you can't see the total dip until much later. First, I’ll explain this in a way that will make it simple and obvious to you; then I’ll show you a better way of investing. You Only Know the Dip in Hindsight When people talk about “buying the dip,” what they’re really saying is, “I bought when the price was going down.” " ... example of a dip ...

The morning of my last post I happened to glance over to the side and saw “...angst over the FOMC’s rate trajectory triggered a flight to safety, hence boosting the haven demand. “ http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/topic/21621-hfmarkets-hfmcom-market-analysis-services/page/17/?tab=comments#comment-228522 I reacted, but didn’t take time to respond then... will now --- HFBlogNews, I don’t know if you are simply aggregating the chosen narratives for the day or if it’s your own reporting... either way - “flight to safety”???? haven ????? Re: “safety - ”Those ‘solid rocks’ are getting so fragile a hit from a dandelion blowball might shatter them... like now nobody wants to buy longer term new issues at these rates...yet the financial media still follows the scripts... The imagery they pound day in and day out makes it look like the Fed knows what they’re doing to help ‘us’... They do know what they’re doing - but it certainly is not to help ‘us’... and it is not to ‘control’ inflation... And at some point in the not too distant future, the interest due will eat a huge portion of the ‘revenue’ Re: “haven” The defaults are coming ... The US will not be the first to default... but it will certainly not be the very last to default !! ...Enough casual anti-white racism for the day ... just sayin’

“Cherish those who seek truth. Beware those who find it.” So who am I ‘bewaring’ these days ? Here’s a few of a growing list... The ‘State’, shallow and deep, just about everywhere on the planet... gone social engineering wild... gone fully corrupt... to be elected means to be either ‘bought and paid for’ or blackmailed ... used to be only a small % were corrupted... now I’m still looking for someone isn’t... let me know if you find one ok? The ‘medical State’ which is now fully entrenched... state ensures pharma gets billions and insurance is run like a top down fascist corp. Insurance and pharma makes sure all the medical ‘agents’ (including MD’s, etc) toe the line ... quality plummets systemically All the ‘news’ media corps and social media platforms... all of them way too entrenched in top down agendas to dodge a beware from me... Virtually the whole of 1st generation General AI... see prior post above. I’d be curious to see how stirred up Nassim Nicholas Taleb is about 1st generation General AI, and subsequent ‘generations’ ... The global education system... The word ‘education’, at its origins, means to ‘bring forth’ thinking clarity and performance skills. The whole global education system today is nothing but a complex of expensive indoctrination camps where the only ‘free speech’ remaining is ‘correct speak’, where college administrations blatantly and illegally encourage disruptions and sabotages ticket sales to gatherings that are not FULLY aligned with the ‘correct’ narratives, etc. etc I’m bewaring zealots from any religion - including those using the ‘old’ religions of the east, middle east, and west AND also bewaring those who use the new global religions of woke, weaponizedbadscience, unbabysacrafice, genderconfuseandneutereveryone ‘churches’, and other anti-old ‘new religions’ ... btw, let’s play some ‘identity politics’... generally all the jew haters still find a way to lump all them jews together... but all these centuries it looks like the world has had several kinds of jews to ‘hate’ - like [snicksnick] https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-04-03-protesters-urge-israel-government-enlist-orthodox-jews.html - just sayin’ ... maybe the jew lovers need to do like blm, go jlm...copy the gov’t and get ppl to throw money in some direction and watch things get worse ...don’t we know by now the money never gets there? ... that blm and jlm money just makes a couple more marxists into millionaires... Be advised I’m just ‘bewaring’ the above. That means I’m not accepting their programming at face value and definitely resist funding their activities out of my pocket... not taking their rights, not attempting to censor them...boils down to I’m bewaring those who want to decide who gets to be ‘free’ and who shouldn’t and doesn’t get to be ‘free’ in thought and deed. NONE of the bewared above are increasing your freedom... Speaking of censoring - what goes around comes around (again) “The Provisional Government that succeeded the tsars in March 1917 abolished censorship. However, two days after the Bolsheviks seized power in November 1917, they reintroduced censorship and extended it to films, art, and music. Though labeled a “temporary measure,” censorship lasted until the late 1980s. ... Violation of censorship rules could be construed as “divulging state secrets,” a crime punishable by imprisonment. Soviet censors worked with a large volume called Perechen’ svedenii ne podlezhashchikh opublikovaniiu v otkrytoi pechati (List of Information Not Suitable for Publication in Open Sources). It was informally referred to among censors—many of whom were Jews—as the “Talmud.” Among the items “not suitable for publication” were crime statistics, reports of natural and man-made disasters (such as airplane crashes), price increases, individual incomes, the names of many officials, and the identities of their spouses. The censorship system was administered by Glavlit, established in 1922 as the Chief Directorate for Literature and Publishing Houses at the People’s Commissariat for Education (Narkompros). Immediately following the Bolshevik Revolution, works on Judaism and almost all publications in Hebrew were banned. Foreign Jewish literature was strongly censored in the 1920s and thereafter. By the 1930s, the list of forbidden subjects included Lenin’s Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side. Although in 1936 work critical of antisemitism was passed by the censor, at the same time Jewish themes began to disappear from Soviet prose and poetry, except in Yiddish. By 1938 brochures critical of antisemitism that had been published just a few years before were removed from libraries. The recording of Lenin’s 1919 speech condemning antisemitism was removed from record sets. It was reported that a six-cornered star, used as an illustration in a geometry text, had to be excised before the text could be published. A comparison of a story published in 1936 and republished in 1940 illustrates the policy of diminishing Jewish visibility. In the story “The Blue Cup,” Arkadii Gaidar writes of a “city in Germany, Dresden, from which a worker, a Jew, fled from the Fascists.” Four years later, following the 1939 Soviet–Nazi pact, the same sentence reads: “There’s a city somewhere abroad, and from there a worker fled from the bourgeoisie.” In May 1940, Bezbozhnik (Godless), the magazine of the Militant Atheists, wrote that the major achievement of the Third Reich was the Nazi attack on Judaism, and that Soviet atheists should cooperate with their allies in the struggle against religion. At the same time, antifascist books published from 1933 to 1939 were relegated to “special collections,” some of them never to reappear. ...” https://yivoencyclopedia.org/article.aspx/censorship/censorship_in_the_ussr We like to think we're beyond sht like that now but the parallels to today are amazing...example: items “not suitable for publication” . Have you paid attn. for the last few years how much politicians and agents use “ can’t discuss it out of concerns for national security” when it ain’t got a fkn thing to do with ‘national security’ ?? ... The original Cheka, headed by Feliks Dzerzhinskii, was empowered only to investigate “counterrevolutionary” crimes. Current parallels - One thriving, conclusive, but false, propaganda word is “insurrection”... First let’s note in a real insurrection an actual BLOODBATH would have ensued ( whoops - ‘bloodbath’ is another one of those key words that is ok for the media sycophants to use over and over and over, but triggers a hypocritical outrage when a maga uses it)... Double standards prevail throughout the WHOLE justice system now...like ‘insurrectionists’, who were escorted into the building by campus police btw, got up to 30 years imprisonment for ‘trespassing’- while during the two summers before thousands and thousands of professionally organized rioters got free legal pass to lead invasions and taking ‘possession’ of whole sections of cities and trash of billions of $ worth of private and public property in a fakefalseflag upswelling of protest against trump / the remnants of the republic. (Fwiw, I beware trump too... ) Another current related propaganda handle is “threat to democracy” “end of democracy”. Factoid: The country was organized as a constitutional republic. It functioned best as a republic, until the ‘globalist’ cycle of corruption finally got some footing in the late 1800’s ...History was ‘rewrit’... ask any school kid in any grade if he or she knows this - It was ‘republic ans’ who fought and died to end slavery and keep the republic intact. It was ‘democrats’ -(still) repeating greek mob rule mistakes - who fought for slavery, then segregation, and later created the nationwide urban plantations that persist to this day... the democrats would have fully ended the republic in the 1860’s if only them sneaky diabolical european “give me control of the money supply” ‘jew’ sponsers had just sent more gold ... in a previous post I noted that the word ‘democracy’ was code for ‘socialism’... well uh oh the republicans are now the ‘socialists... and it looks like ‘democracy’ is being transitioned to 'code' for something quite a bit more dystopian... fixing to rapidly pole reverse to a fully ‘unrepresented’ tyranny that will resemble exactly what all the ‘liberals’ and ‘wokes’ have ostensibly ‘resisted’... and yes, sweetheart, they do ultimately come after the “useful idiots” too. ... just sayin’

Across the years, all the ‘free’ parts of the digital age have been accused of being trojan horses. Who bill gates father was - not pure coincidence... the real seed ‘money’ for fakebook was not happenstance... their biased, coordinated campaign behaviors in the last 3 elections... tiktok is the world’s first trojan elephant... yada yada yada. Surveys say google searches are not as ‘accurate’ as they used to be... and that they are getting worse. I, for one, would just like to be ‘served’ the same results for an identical query as my friend across town, my wife on an apple phone in the same house, an acquaintance 1500 miles away. The bias from the humans training the AI goes way beyond the ‘diverse’ demographics they were hired from. As the % of visuals vs text for the served up content has grown exponentially an example is gGemini is serving up pictures of the first four presidents as black men. Ask it if Obama should be jailed. Answer: former presidents should never be prosecuted ... Ask if GW Bush should be jailed. Answer: a list of possible charges emerges (.... Didn’t risk losing the HD or CPU asking it if Trump should be jailed... ) It goes way beyond ‘woke’ folks... Social media, the 'news' media, and search giants clear intent to coordinate and ‘serve’ up what they want the populace to believe, push agendas, influence ‘elections’, do propaganda twists on cultural words and patterns goes beyond anything the soviets or nazis etc. could have even dreamed of. While we’re at it, let’s take a look at the naming of googles ‘public’ AI. The name Gemini may have actually been unconsciously pulled out of some working groups ‘sounds good’ hat. We’ll never know the truth. Anyways, let’s dig a bit... One of the most valid uses of ‘astrology’ is as a developmental map - predating Rousseau, Piaget, Freud, Erikson, etc. by millenniums and millenniums. In that model, Gemini represents the stages of development from about 1.6 to 3.5 years old. It is, as Piaget termed it, ‘the pre-conceptual stage of concrete actions’. Speech is largely mimicry, actions largely imitation. When the child cannot assimilate the ‘naming’ of an object or action, it accommodates it into its fantasies. ‘Reasoning’ steps to the next step with only a vapor of comprehension of the overall grouping of steps . Each understanding is a dualistic “assimilation and accommodation”, which clarifies the original connection of Gemini to the ‘Twins’ ... as the child finds a twin in himself in the fantasy world. The way the child, gGemini in this case, establishes a method of communication indicates its later proficiency and determines the mode of communication it will always prefer in later ‘stages of development’ . And...the little AI child, gGemini, needs anything but duplicitous, dishonest, inconsistent, judgmental, ruthlessly evil parents and ‘adults’ to screw it (and it’s output! ) up for fkn decades /’forever’. Your child's or teenager's brains AND your brains need anything but a misguided 2 year old as the primary source of information. ...is your intelligence insulted yet? Just sayin’

For humans our technological advances have vastly outpaced our advances in wisdom ... results are accelerating misuse and abuse of ‘technology’.

A75 I sure wish you had defined which way you were applying the word ‘patience’. For example, northern european patience is different from middle eastern patience. India has many different ‘patiences’, as does the far east. The discrepancies are wider than one might first think. For some of them, patience is an attitude cultivated and implemented directly. For others, patience is something that emerges from doing (or not doing ) other acts and practices. ... Many ppl under 30 don't have a clue what the word 'forbearance' means. etc (I’m not locking you in on the following, but) your first few paragraphs looked to me like you were using the protestant Sunday school teacher version of ‘patience’, the middle of the article felt like it was coming from sports coaches, and then by the end it seemed to be based on current pop / social sychology ... IE Why keep us guessing?... It’s not too late to Wikipedia the word and add on which definition(s). of ‘patience’ you were basing your comments ... thx

Sport coaches say it all the time “Before you can learn how to Win, you have to learn how not to Lose”. That holds for trading too... and that is what 78% of traders need to do - learn how not to Lose. ... Somewhat ironically, in trading learning how not to Lose requires losing. ... digging inside to find where you ‘live’ on the spectrum of risk seeking when in the red positions... building some awareness of when and how you are vulnerable to ‘hope’, ‘lucky’ etc ... and finding out if and how much you can change to get to a place where you are never hoping a position will come back while watching it continue to chomp off huge %’s of your capital. ...ie if the mindbody is fkt up, it doesn’t matter if its choices are right or wrong, etc etc... ...digging into your system’s numbers to find the best stop locations for taking the ‘optimal small lose’, placing the orders, and allowing them to be hit. ... ... so yes, Elloise, sound automated trading can inform discretionary trading... just sayin’ and merry christmas / merry return of increasing light to all

SunTrader, Please clarify for all of us - Exactly what is a "far-right Republican"? ... got an example of a far-right Republican lawmaker?...

Bidenomic-speak = “...It’s working...” 2021 less than 8% of population was below the poverty level . 2022 more than 12% . 2023 ?? ... “...It’s working...”, attempting to flood the few remaining thriving states with illegals... flood them with 'costs... “...It’s working...” into a whole new scale of war profiteering “...It’s working...” going full blown old soviet punish your enemies ‘politicizing’/ ‘weaponizing’ the justice system.

In ‘just saying’, why am I ‘discussing’ lies so much? Why aren’t we studying big truth(s)? Well - we Are discussing big truth(s). The biggest truth these days is that there are some longstanding, curated, massively, BIG huge lies. For years I pounded on the 'little' (actually it was only relatively ‘short’ , not ‘little) lies of the covid plandemic where a relatively small big LIE was generated and that lie was spun to create what in psychology is called “mass formation”. All that table pounding about covid was to possilbly elucidate and illustrate a MUCH LONGER much bigger lie - The lie about money. ( MUCH LONGER = the seeds were planted throughout the 1800’s... the lie has now been instantiated in full force for 110 years + ) Inflating a fake money supply with more fake money is chronic theft. ... and if you're an adult you've probably realized that theft ultimately doesn't create very much economic 'value' to the victim(s) or to the thief(s) Price inflation is a symptom. It is not the underlying condition. ... and ... It is a lie for the ‘system’ to 'attempt' to ‘fix’ a symptom instead of the cause... especially if the ‘system’ itself is not really what is it represented to be. Taking fake money form ppl makes the 'money' seem real... how do/did they do that? Taking purchasing power from ppl helps keep it seem real (... now there's a well structured sentence. just saying... )

You don't have to accept that narrative... just sayin'

Lies going in - Lies coming out A few brains may be interested why I’ve banged on plandemic “Lies going in - lies coming out” for literally years now in here. The biggest reason is that I now discuss other things with fellow traders besides trading because, thankfully, the ‘voice of trading’ has finally died - up here and in other forums too. Something similar to the death of the ‘voice of trading’ needs to happen globally with viruses and p(L)andemic hoaxes. From years ago - “... you need to understand that so-called epidemics are very big business. Vaccine business. Pharma business. Government business. ... The public is married to the whole idea of viruses. Viruses are embraced as basic seeds of medical reality. From those seeds bloom all sorts of unshakable facts about illness. Virus does this, virus causes that, prevent virus from taking hold with a shot—news about viruses is as commonplace and familiar as pots and pans are in kitchens. “Everybody knows about viruses.” Of course, everybody doesn’t know about viruses, but they think they do. [As in the ]case of Swine Flu, where what everybody knew as a fundamental fact of reality was wrong. The virus wasn’t there. As a researcher once wrote me, “Pepsi, Coke, McDonald’s, ice cream, viruses. They’re the pillars, the foundation stones. But you’d be surprised how often we’re guessing about viruses. We say they’re there, causing a disease. We give a name to the disease, and the public salutes. We’re taking a stab in the dark. If we admitted it, our whole operation would crash…” You can doubt what the President is saying. You can doubt the Congress, the FBI, the CIA, and the IRS. You can doubt all the mega-corporations. You can doubt Mickey Mouse and the Pope. But when you doubt viruses, you’re committing heresy, because medical science is a super-religion. Its basic tenets are “self-evident.” They must be. They have to be.” https://www.naturalnews.com/053208_mainstream_media_government_propaganda_disease_epidemics.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+naturalnews%2FPtbH+(RSS+By+NaturalNews.com+) The map is not the thing mapped. Diagrams are not the thing diagrammed. Images are not the thing imaged. The painful truth is science does not yet even know exactly what ‘viruses’ are. Plandemics work because people will do anything they can to maintain their grip on illusions and ‘biases’. Much like the times when a shared image of a flat earth prevailed, the humans on the planet have built a shared coolektive ’image’ of what viruses are - built from decades of (misguided and false) ‘research’, (false) memes, and propaganda. Check inside - you’ve likely got your own quite certain vision of what viruses are - eensty teentsy little almost ‘alive’ creatures ... but the painful truth is scientists and the rest of us do not even know exactly what ‘viruses’ are, where they come from, how they act interact - whether they are causative or just correlated pecker tracks of ‘diseases’... Most importantly, we don't even know if they really exist. Evidence for bigfoot is just about as good as the evidence for viruses. And all the ‘treatments’ are still much like hundreds of years ago when folk practitioners developed ways to deal with bacteria, fungi, etc without having a clue what they really were... albeit, ‘treatments’ and 'interventions' are tremendously profitable these days. Anyways, the map is not the thing mapped. Diagrams are not the thing diagrammed. Images are not the thing imaged. Again, the painful truth - science does not even know exactly what ‘viruses’ are. See last 4 paragraphs at https://blog.nomorefakenews.com/2023/02/15/corona-baloney-its-the-money-honey-2/ , etc.... have a great weekend all ps thx Debbie for the 'cultural misappropriation' in this topic ... keep it up ...

Plandemic = Lies going in - lies coming out (see covid posts herein starting circa Jan 2020 ... ) Not sayin’ I'm certain about this - but the question is valid --- did Damar Hamlin really suffer from vaccine-induced myocarditis? Vaccine-induced myocarditis must be considered in the differential diagnosis because the whole team is “100% vaccinated team” with experimental gene based vaccines for COVID-19 - which have produced not a few similar conditions. These serious reactions typically occur in older subjects but the young and anyone at or near the tipping point of inflammation are vulnerable... and elite athletes are consistently at that tipping point - even more so deep into the season... Just saying - One of the symptoms of corrupted science is the conflation of ‘verifiable’ with actually ‘verified’. Billions of people took vaccines - following the (FALSE) science that intentionally furnished them (FALSE) scientific credibility - because they are verifiable. But they were never verified. They are still NOT verified !!!! Brave new world where if your pharm inc. has the right connections you can now profitably dispense just about any old Lagevrio with impunity way before it has been verified - as long as it’s ostensibly 'verifiable' Just sayin’...

Excellent post. re "No matter what your situation is right now, don’t compromise to receive instant gratification at the cost of a great harvest later on. I write from many years of experience and from making these kinds of mistakes in the past." etc Another way of saying it is in terms of game theory - to have any staying power, you have to keep on doing the right things over and over (and minimize doing the wrong things over and over) regardless of what 'chance' provides today, this trade, this campaign ( or like in poker - this hand, this table, this tournament... etc) ... and as an aside / :off topic: re: the doctoring, wellness, etc - trading performance over the long haul requires overall excellent health ... just sayin' ... and posting is expensive :)... just sayin'

Following the old ru marxist style playbook almost to the letter, Trump has been destroyed by selectively using the tools of the system against him. To the psychopathic ‘elites’, their agents and puppets in the deep state, and their duped minions in the public (statist/’socialistic’/redistributionist progressives and dependents, etc.), DeSantis is now much more ‘dangerous’ than Trump... For snicks, let’s see how he is handled - by the system, by the ‘parties’, by the media... just saying.

is it true that when Obama left office he took over a million documents (of many different classifications) with him ... on the promise to the 'Archivist' that they would be copied and returned? ... and that they are still in private hands / stored in an 'office' in Chicago? would that be a classic examples of politicize the 'system', run double standards, and punish your enemies ? ...just sayin'
