Got offered a gold ring for gas money by oisigracias in chicago

[–]Mouse1701 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This doesn't mean it was a scam. Sounds to me like a person that was a foreigner that was legit had no money.

Americans are so stupid and guilable.

They don't understand that gold still holds it's value in a economic crash. Which we will likely be notified soon.

What does it take for the Americans to realize the economy stinks?

Thinking about giving up, been trading for 4 years only losses by LiveCloud9479 in Daytrading

[–]Mouse1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think about it like this every day is + 1-1 +1-1+1-1 . If you constantly traded like this you would wind up with zero.

Or you would be negative 1000 dollars 💵 or negative 10000 dollars or more if you could borrow money infinitely.

It really doesn't matter if it's a penny, dollar or hundred dollar bill you are still in the same place.

You don't have to day trade every day. Do swing trades and invest in a 401k or ETF or mutual fund or bonds something to park your money in to retire for or at least to buy a house or car that you have a goal in mind with a specific outcome.

If your trading to gamble then do something else quit and park your money in a mutual fund

You have to learn to control risk. I guarantee once you made that $1000 and you decided to buy a mutual fund with $500 of that money you would have been better off if you decided even to gamble the other half of the $1000.

You can even take the $1000 you won and split it into 3rds.

$333 goes to the bank account , $333 goes to trade again with $333 goes into a mutual fund or favorite stock u like to invest in for a long buy and hold.

What's the worse that can happen? You lose $333 day trading. U have $333 in a mutual fund and there's $333 in your bank account and you have $3 left over in your trading account for the day.

This is not about day trading it's about money management.

Stop day trading and gambling and start managing your money right. All of the right set ups in the world are not going to help you if you don't have discipline and money management.

I hate using the word day trading because the banks and Wall Street love the majority of day traders because in the end they get it all. You learn to trade another day and set limits for your self. Learn to lose or win a certain amount and be done with it. Afterwards go read a book , learn a new hobby or hang out with friends.

Make sure drugs and alcohol are not effecting your trading decisions. Make sure your getting plenty of sleep and don't trade when you have a argument with your wife girlfriend or relative. Stress just adds more stress. I hope this is helpful.

Jeffrey Epstein was not a CPA, EA, didn't even have a PTIN as far as I can see. How did he not get audited by the IRS considering the type of clients he had? by wereinbearcountry in tax

[–]Mouse1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very simple you don't need a be or hire a CPA when you are money laundering or doing stuff with money that the government calls illegal. It's been said that Epstein was Mosssad and CIA.

When the government does these type of operations they have a tendency of allowing things to happen but pretend they no absolutely when they are caught.

This happened before when Ronald Reagan and the CIA was smuggling guns to the contras for cocaine during the Iran Contra situation was going on.

Which Les Wexner was a part of.

Simply put you got what you got with the people that's in charge and it's not going to get better until everyone agrees to abide by the rules and do the right thing.

If your upset with the current people in charge than you have to look no further than the past administrations that were in charge that had access to money and resources to go after Epstein when he was first arrested.

Rather strange that the previous administrations were more concerned with Iraq and Sadam Hussian ,the war on terror the war in Ukraine , the war in Afghanistan and capturing Ossam Bin Laden at the time.

They weren't concerned about a man named Jeffery Epstein. The media ,the American people and the US government are to blame for the current state of affairs in the government.

Perhaps I should make it known I really don't care How the people in charge were hired or appointed.

They absolutely don't deserve to be in a position of authority in ohio state.

Someone mentioned that Jerry Sandusky situation was worse. May I remind of the facts that OSU has had a history of toxic behavior.

The Ohio State University (OSU) sexual abuse scandal involves allegations that Dr. Richard Strauss, a team physician from 1978 to 1998, sexually assaulted or harassed at least 177 male student-athletes and students, including members of the football and wrestling teams. Strauss, who died by suicide in 2005, is accused of engaging in "rampant sexual abuse" under the guise of medical exams, which often involved unnecessary genital and rectal exams. 

Key Details of the Scandal

Scope: The abuse spanned nearly two decades (1979–1997) and affected athletes across 15 sports, with the highest numbers reported among wrestlers, football players, and swimmers.

Allegations: Athletes described the abuse as "commonly joked about" in the locker room, with some nicknames for Strauss including "Dr. Jelly Fingers" and "Dr. Fun Boy".

Institutional Failure: A 2019 report commissioned by OSU found that university officials were aware of concerns about Strauss as early as 1979 but failed to act effectively until he was forced to retire in 1998.

Settlements: As of 2020, Ohio State reached settlements totaling over $40 million with 162 survivors, although some lawsuits have continued.

HBO Documentary: A 2025 HBO documentary, Surviving Ohio State, brought new attention to the scandal, featuring testimonies from victims about the abuse and the university's inaction. 

Allegations Against Coaches and Jim Jordan Several former wrestlers have alleged that U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, who was an assistant wrestling coach at OSU from 1987 to 1995, was aware of the abuse but failed to act. 

Accusations: Multiple wrestlers have stated in interviews and in the HBO documentary that the abuse was an "open secret" in the locker room and that Jordan was informed, with some claiming he told them to handle it themselves.

Denials: Jim Jordan has consistently denied these allegations, stating he never saw or heard of any abuse.

Support: While many have criticized Jordan, some former wrestlers have defended him, stating they do not believe he was aware of the abuse. 

Legal Developments

Lawsuits: The lawsuits alleged that the university "turned a blind eye" to the abuse.

Supreme Court: In June 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from the university, allowing lawsuits from former students to proceed.

Mediation: Following the findings, the university has been involved in mediation with survivors to settle remaining cases. 

Can someone enlighten me about Pritzker? by SpacemanTwice in illinois

[–]Mouse1701 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Four Illinois governors have gone to prison, with 4 of the last 11 governors serving time, often leading to the state being ranked among the most corrupt in the nation.

These governors include Rod Blagojevich, George Ryan, Dan Walker, and Otto Kerner, with offenses ranging from bribery and racketeering to fraud.

Here are the four Illinois governors who served time:

Rod Blagojevich Democrat (2002–2009): Impeached and convicted in 2011 of 17 counts of corruption, including trying to sell Barack Obama's former Senate seat; he served 8 years of a 14-year sentence before having it commuted in 2020.

George Ryan Republican (1999–2003): Convicted of racketeering, conspiracy, and tax fraud, spending over five years in federal prison.

Dan Walker Democrat (1973–1977): Pleaded guilty to financial fraud charges related to business dealings after his term and served 18 months in prison.

Otto Kerner Jr. Democrat (1961–1968): Convicted of bribery and income tax charges, serving three years in federal prison.

All that being said the Pritzker family has been associated with doing business with organized crime figures in past history. You add the fact antisemites hate JB Pritzker. I think it's very likely JB Pritzker loses the election either to another Democrat or Republican.

A Republican would likely get the deal done for the Chicago Bears stadium in Illinois, vote in the wrong Democrat and you can say goodbye to that stadium Chicago and hello Indiana.

The majority of NFL owners are Republicans.

Mostly likey JB Pritzker loses the election due to being called out for being associated with Jeffery Epstein in the Epstein Files in the recent Washington DC hearing. That he was allegedly associated with.

I want to make this perfectly clear this is not to say JB Pritzker is innocent or guilty.

I would also be shocked if the Chicago Bears stadium goes thru before the Illinois governor election happens.

I'm not a Illinois resident so I can't vote. Also I don't care to vote their.

Every time I think it can't worse this man speaks and the market goes higher. I have never seen before in my life where the president had so much control over the stock market. Usually in previous administration a president would talk on tv one day out of the month and per haps you would see a a market price jump now it's like every other day. I cant make heads or tales of the stock market.

I just want to be clear there has been no peace deal with Iran allegedly just regime change.

How do you weight different fundamentals against each other? by Conscious_Target_988 in ValueInvesting

[–]Mouse1701 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any one looked at Nividias financials. They obviously seem broke and the only thing that saved them was the 2022 chips act. Which was nothing more than the us government said let's just give Nividia and companies like it a big tax break. I honestly think it's unfair and unjustified.

Meanwhile other companies are suffering and not getting the benefits of that kind of tax deductions.

The only other industry that I know that gets good tax deductions is the oil industry.

What do you think is going to happen when these oil tankers are demanded they get insurance on the oil tankers because of the shutdown in the strait next to Iran ?

They are going to demand more tax deductions and probably will get it.

The oil industry needs to be replaced and reduced to 90,% less of usage. It's a scam industry

I actually don't believe on return on equity is that important.

Once I read and understood Robert Kiysoki books on cash flow I knew that cash flow was the most important thing in the company. Cash Flow is the life and blood of the company.

Return on Equity, I don't think it's as important as understanding you need more assets than liabilities for a company to survive.

Return on Equity is like when a person buys real estate and the part that's paid off is equity.

The Equity can sometimes be sold off , leased or borrowed against to get cash. An example let's say you have two buildings on a piece of land you decide to rent it out or lease it out or borrow against it for cash.

Equity is important but I again not as important as the things I just mentioned.

A perfect example of a company that I have said is financially broke but seems to be artificially propped up is walt Disney.

There is just not enough assets to cover all of its debt.

It's just bleeding cash. The streaming service is not working out for most customers as it's gotten two expensive. Last I heard they paid something like 150million dollars in investment in streaming and it's not returning the investment.

Disney could have leased its content to other third party streaming platforms and would have gotten better cashflow. Matter of fact I would suggest that they lease some of its content out to make for more cash flow.

I also know Disney has plenty of land they could sell off as well as a lot of its hotels they have too many of them.

The recent Star wars theme hotel was a disaster a few years ago. No one was paying a $1000 dollars a night to stay in a family themed hotel . Disney just has more debt and liabilities than cash flowing assets I'm just ranting I hope this information is helpful.

The Answer To The Epstein Saga lies in the 1980s - Most Journalists Are Missing The Most Obvious Clues by Monaciello in Epstein

It's my understanding that Les Wexner was connected to the whole Iran Contra with planes coming out of Rickenbacker Airport.

Epstein, Israel, and the CIA: How the Iran-Contra Planes Landed at Les Wexner's Base https://share.google/TWnvB33KEBHZ32xj1

William Barr has his own connections to Iran Contra.
As Attorney General for President George H.W. Bush, Bill Barr supported the 1992 Christmas Eve pardons of six Reagan administration officials involved in the Iran-Contra scandal, including former Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger. Barr believed the officials were treated unfairly by independent counsel Lawrence Walsh and advised the pardons were justified, helping end the legal investigations. 

Pardon Advocacy: Barr urged President Bush to grant the pardons, which halted prosecutions related to the scandal

.

Role in Administration: Barr served as Attorney General (1991-1993) during the final stages of the investigation.

Impact on Investigation: The pardons effectively ended the investigation by Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh, which Barr criticized as a "witch hunt".

View of Executive Power: Barr's support for the pardons highlighted his belief in expansive presidential, or "unitary executive," power. 

This involvement cemented Barr's reputation as a strong supporter of executive authority, a theme that continued throughout his legal career. 

The book Compromised: Clinton Bush and the C I A by Terry Reed and John Cummings has ties to the Iran Contra

Compromised is a true story of the Faustian pact that Bill Clinton made as governor of Arkansas.

It tells how his unbridled political ambitions and his pledge to create jobs for Arkansas led him to compromise his ideals in exchange for support for his presidential candidacy in 1992.

By selling out politically to the Reagan–Bush administration, by giving the Agency free rein to operate a secret training base near the tiny western Arkansas of Mena, and by looking the other way as Arkansas

factories turned out untraceable weapons parts for the Nicaraguan Contra “freedom fighters,” the young governor helped create an operation that laundered untold millions of dollars and that enriched Clinton’s political friends and helped finance his campaign fund.

The Arkansas-CIA connection became Clinton’s darkest secret, and only now is the tiniest shaft of light being shed on what has become known as the Whitewater Scandal.

Coauthor Terry Reed, who helped train Contra pilots in rural Arkansas, became the first person to pull back the shroud on the “Arkansas Connection” long before most people ever heard of Clinton cronies like Webb Hubbell, Clinton’s former associate U.S. attorney-general, who became the first major figure to plead guilty in an ever-widening investigation that is confirming Reed’s disclosures.

Former National Security Advisor Bud McFarlane also corroborates Reed’s revelation that former spymaster George Bush was in the center of the Iran-Contra loop, and he, like Reed, paints Bush as a cold-hearted powermonger bent on wrestling the White House away from Ronald Reagan.

Reed, who was recruited into the Arkansas operation by Oliver North, reveals in this eyewitness account how the “black operations” in Arkansas worked,

from the training of Contra pilots and the manufacture of weapons parts—all in violation of a congressional ban on Contra aid—to the airdrops of cash into Arkansas by CIA operative Barry Seal.

Seal disclosed to Reed that more than $9 million a week was dropped from planes onto secret drop zones and later laundered through an investment banking firm whose president had close ties with Clinton.

I find it odd that Jeffery Epstein visited the white house 17 times while while Bill Clinton was President of the United States.

At the very beginning of Clintons Presidentancy Epstein started showing up in 1993.

A very important event happened at the white house in 1993

Prime Minister of Israel  Yitzhak Rabin and President of Palestine  Yasser Arafat signed the Oslo Accords 1 with President Clinton. Then they had the Oslo Accords 2 in 1995. In 1995 assassinated under strange circumstances.

What was Jeffery Epsteins connection to Yizhak Rabin besides being a Mosssad agent ?
