The VIX is a wonderful thing, especially if you're into Options, which I also trade. The Forex is a bit different, in that you only have a few main currencies to trade on. At least, if you want to minimize

I look forward to that!

That would not overly surprise me.

The problem is not that they're smart enough to not elect him. I think the problem is that we're collectively, all sides, not smart enough to break out of the cycle and actually advance a good leader.

You can get started with US$50, trading microlots for US$0.10/pip. An account with US$500 would allow you to safely trade minilots, for US$1.00/pip. To trade full lots, you'd best have US$5,000 in capital,

I do exactly that, go into random mode to see what gems I can find. Though now and then I will go to the trending to see what's hot. A bit of both, I find, is good for my palate.

Great points, and I tend to agree with a lot of what you said, or at least, am willing to consider your points and do a bit more study. In particular, I strongly agree with your stance that journalism

Every time I see an online petition with hundreds of thousands of e-signatures on it, I just have to laugh. God alone knows what those people think they're achieving. An utter lack of understanding on

Ignorance today is the norm, unfortunately. I had one person comment on another post where I said I was all for publicly funded education through High School, but anything beyond should be up to each person,

There's interest. :)

I may have inadvertently muddied the waters. I didn't mean to say Steemit will replace Facebook in functionality. More that it is the future when it comes to content and sharing. There's so much on Facebook

The sad thing is, I have these kinds of conversations every day. I'm convinced people aren't willingly stupid. Rather they've received an education sorely lacking in critical thinking, and on top of that,
