  1. OP ED the ‘tricks’ that “undermine democracy” (their term, not mine) CA is not a scandal ... at least no more scandalous than Carol Davidsen and friends* - an operation given the willful assistance of Sheryl Sandberg COO and many others way high up in Fakebook itself (and the help of many gullible nerds **) . But did the Trump campaign need CA and the data it acquired from Kogan to do this kind of outreach in 2016? Likely not. Facebook cut off the friends functionality for app developers because it wanted to control its own offering to clients interested in microtargeting. ...All Facebook requires for access to its data trove is a reasonable fee. ... Facebook ads can work quite well for businesses. If they also worked for Trump, the CA story is a red herring: It's Facebook's own data collection and the tools it makes available to clients that should be the target of scrutiny and perhaps regulation, both from a privacy perspective and for the sake of political transparency. ... But let’s get real - Oceania telescreens are not intended for use by any opposition EVER AT ALL! ... And if it was the Brits instead of the Russians that ‘did it', ( ie beat hilliry, and it had to be somebody... she could and would never beat herself ), one thing for sure - anyone who wasted their time and the advertising portion of their purchases watching the russians russians russians russians russians russians russians russians russians russians russians story featured on the news x times per day every day for 16 months got screwed. ... Only good thang is now the doubters/saboteurs on the msm channels are now doubted more than ever. Paraphrasing - ‘This just a payment dispute. CA got info for free from Fakebook. Somebody got paid, but not Fakebook. Had Fakebook been paid like they ‘use’ally are, this would never have been ‘leaked’ to the eager biased news. How is this any different from what Fakebook does daily with other data customers?’ / * see http://theduran.com/bombshell-video-shows-barack-obama-campaign-director-bragging-about-exploiting-facebook-users/ ** see https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/11/when-the-nerds-go-marching-in/265325/ ///////////////////////// PS also for snicks, see http://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/what-you-really-need-to-know-about-the-scandal-engulfing-cambridge-analytica/ ... and yes sweethearts I do have time to write an op ed... automation got me short at 2:24 last night... all I've had to do this morning is stay out of its way ...
  2. Zukfuklberg finally spoke? Did he divulge the plan to tighten things up so that only those he and his masters want can have access to the various nodes and angles of fakebook data? Did he mention that the dam platform wasn’t made for just anyolebody that wanted to mine the data? Did he declare that fakebook users aren’t customers ... that they are the product?
  3. free speech the long https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/tolerance_cuts_both_ways_freedom_for_the_speech_we_hate and short http://www.wakingtimes.com/2018/03/19/the-denial-of-the-right-to-an-opinion-our-inexorable-slide-into-fascism/ of it btw hope ya'll are enjoying these indexes auctions this afternoon as much as I am... I love it when the ease of movement is just as easy going either way - up or down ... been wearing a little 'these are the good old days' grin on my face for over an hour now... shifted from NQ over to YM (and some ES) just after 3 PM ... cleaner charts, less bouncing around btwn screens, etc ... to prevent a potential 'give a bunch back' moment - which I've done before blve me and hope you never do... :0 also, will probably close out or at least size down to almost closed the YM/NQ spread in the next little bit...
  4. Russian collusion ??? ... Russian meddling ??? ... https://www.activistpost.com/2018/03/nearly-100-operations-of-american-meddling-in-russia-publicly-admitted-by-ned.html
  5. For the record, ... (you know - the records at NSA, and other 3 letter agencies, etc etc etc) ... I prefer plowshares instead of swords - from top to bottom. Nothing about big booms from a tank, or a bomb, or a fast fighter jet is attractive to me. ... and ... There’s not a country on this planet, large or small, that would not be better off with less war, less war creation, and way less military spending... next bet?
  6. I am going to bring suit against fakebook for selling / giving and 'abusing' my data and my friends’ data during the 2008 and 2012 obama campaigns ... Re FANG’s ...I’m glad ZukFuklberg waited to say something "meaningful" rather than delivering a quick, boilerplate comment about this. If he had spoken quickly, he may have slipped and told the truth (or some of it) . By waiting, I can rest assured everything he’s going to say will be lies - however well crafted and consistent with the newest msm narrative they may be.
  7. Re trading through report time. Well that was fun. Main thing beginners - you got to be able to trade without stops in place anywhere close to the action...
  8. Two broad types of ‘insurance’ for fx accts Some brokerages will sell you a ‘put’ on your performance, insuring all or part of your account equity for a premium of 0 to 10% of your account equity. All these policies have various requirements, ‘traps’, and ‘gotchas’ in the terms and conditions... like - Some companies require you to wait a year after making a claim to take out another policy. etc, etc. Any brokerages offering FDIC level insurance on deposits are NOT insuring losses due to your trading. FDIC insurance only covers losses from ‘failure’ of the ‘bank’ hth

  10. have a nice life. we'll miss you
  11. Big Picture trades Newest YM/NQ spread working... and was able to lift the YM longs for almost 90% of the downdraft. More fun than usual... some of the most disastrous individual trades ever in my life were ‘messin with’ / trying to outmaneuver spread trades
  12. The young man discovered his white privilege in 2016 while busy using all the small business loans he never got because he wasn’t female or a minority. It was like going to Japan and being upset at Japanese "privilege"... or worse ... “...the Welfare State redistributes poverty...” Arnold Kling “The Welfare State is the disease it purports to cure” Karl Kraus ... just sayin
  13. Dear markdup@fakebook, I also did not breach your data, but I do admit to misusing and abusing it to benefit parties I'm not sure you'd approve of. Please ban me as soon as possible. Thanks
  14. sun, re: what's with the quotes "then they came ...." if you don't know you maybe should not grab up that 'progressive thinker' label so quickly... ... do whatever you do my friend - but for your own sake please don't try reverse martingale on these bets you're making on your own projections... ... meanwhile speaking of msm and internet truth https://youtu.be/f7y6UAo8qIY
  15. “then they came for suntrader and I did not speak out — because I was not a flaming judgmental progressive ‘thinker’. Then they came for ...” ... https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20180312/21010439407/future-fbi-wants-secure-phones-criminals-broken-encryption-everyone-else.shtml btw, bet lost ... hope you weren't all in... btwbtw, fyi there aint no militia

  17. that's the thing sunny - 'someone' was not reported for breaking any gun or other laws, 'someone' was not arrested, 'someone' was not charged... they just confiscated his gun... at least the writer 'thinked' to not also disclose his name needlessly. before you 'think', we might have to go to levels where you are forfeiting some of your (non gun) assets for no cause before you started getting the police state point...

  19. Back having fun going short the indexes yet?
  20. a single 100 car turn with a limit order in the ES does virtually nothing... try it multiple 100 car trades within a second or two sometimes 'causes' a tiny micro stir ... but never to the point of "consequently eating into his own profits" ... and if is trading at that size, you would always be thinking 'avg position' anyways ie rarely clicking it all in at a single price level
  21. Hi, Migration appears to have missed including some recent posts. For example, in one thread my last posts were yesterday, but only those on or prior to last Friday at 10:49 AM are showing. ...Just a heads up in case it's widespread. ie I have no attachment to the missing posts in just sayin' thread... ie don't bother fixing if it's just endemic to that thread... btw - Thanks for the upgrade. Looks good. ...I was beginning to wonder if Putin also had TL Admin killed . another btw - Is TL ownership still a secret? have a good one zdo
  22. One option would be the RadarScreen in Tradestation Other platforms have similar capabilities. hth
  23. Here is the new Penny J at an interview Your greatest weakness? ? Bits and Pieces
  24. Dammit lets git this shit straight. The police handled the Florida high school massacre situation competently. No - they handled it brilliantly! Florida SWAT team members suspended for responding to shooting | Daily Mail Online Ie The priority should be to remove all the legal guns from the (not so) citizenry (and then, of course, from the regular citizenry ) ie Gun free zones work like a fkn charm. Let's send all our high screwd kids to DC to march to make all schools gun free so that all the students all over the country could get shot up like in FL
  25. some more Pat Condell for Mits and other feminazi
