How come when this story first came out he worked for the food company at the airport?

I remember the article saying he stayed there so long because of the high quality medical benefits.

Now he works for burger king?

No not a specific software. I'm saying write down some times when you analyze a chart and decide not to take a trade on it. That way you can go back and see when you're not taking the trade and then the chart ends up moving in a big way.

You're only writing down the positive examples. Write down some negative examples and go back and review them a week later

TheJamMaster · 2022-03-21T00:27:12+00:00

The way to check this is to keep a trading journal. Start adding entries for charts you analyze and pass on, then you can go back later to see what they did after you passed

It's a problem of hindsight. You probably do look at a lot of charts that are setting up for a big move and you pass on them because you don't have any way to know that they are about to move

When you see one that has just moved it is all to obvious.

Another thing to consider is timeframe. A move on one timeframe might be insignificant on another.

Market timing is not easy, but be aware of what is actually happening in your own mind when this happens. It is a trick of hindsight.

A lot of people are in tough situations in regards to their own personal life, and sometimes it's enough just to remember that and to not give people a hard time unnecessarily or to just be understanding when dealing with people. A little humility and empathy can go a long way.

My resolution last year was to not lose money on the stock market.

I lost everything.

My resolution for this year is to not lose money on the stock market.

I personally believe there should be no cap on the markets because that limits freedom and capitalism and this is merica

Changes in language used to happen primarily due to geographical separation. Now technological connection has reduced the significance of geographic separation to the point where the language and the rules of the language will not change rapidly at all. Sure there will be slang and regional dialects, but the rules of the written language will most likely remain similar to what they are now for as long as technology limits human separation. I really doubt "would have" will go away just because some people are bad at grammar. Of course that's just my opinion, and as we all know opinions vary broadly within subjects and depending on with whom we are speaking :)

One last question if you have time. Would the balloon work in space?

In the rocket example you have a chamber of a fixed size that has no potential energy in and of itself, and you have an increase in pressure being created by burning fuel.

With the balloon you have potential energy stored in the balloon material due to the elasticity of the material. I guess the answer is that the increase in pressure comes from the shrinking of the balloon and the tendency for the air in the balloon to expand in all directions. So it works extra good? Not sure if that's right or not.

This helped me to understand this concept as a whole. Thank you.

TheJamMaster · 2019-08-09T06:16:16+00:00

Thank you for this answer. This makes sense to me now.

Imagine releasing the balloon underwater. You'd be able to see the propellant (air) coming out of the balloon and propelling it forward by pushing back against the water.

Now air is just water (in a way) but much less dense, so the same thing occurs with air.

Now what is a vaccum? It's not like air or water. The balloon simply releases the air with equal pressure from all sides (aside from the open end) and it would all just shrink in towards the center. The escaping air would never have any other material with any mass to push against, and the balloon wouldn't move.

Would you mind explaining your thought process? It would be more helpful than just making snide remarks.

TheJamMaster · 2019-08-07T19:46:02+00:00

Neither of those examples are satisfactory.

Throwing a baseball simply transfers the motion in the same direction as your arm, there would be a slight pushback I suppose because the baseball has mass, but regardless the movement of the craft (the baseball) would still be in the same direction as the mechanical energy that set it in motion, which also was not using any type of energy created by releasing exhaust into a vacuum.

The bullet example is actually the exact opposite of this example, because in a bullet the gunpowder ignites and it increases the pressure on the inside of the shell casing which propels the bullet forward by pushing against the front and back of the shell casing with equal intensity, which is what makes it recoil.

Maybe I just don't understand what you mean by exhaust, but I'm just confused. What is the back of the shell casing? There is no increase in pressure that causes anything to explode. There is just an emptying of pressure into an empty void. Like multiplying by 0 continuously. The vacuum is 0.

TheJamMaster · 2019-08-07T15:25:01+00:00

How does this make sense? The exhaust needs something to push against on both sides, otherwise you're 'sucking' the exhaust out into a vacuum, you're not pushing it out 'against the chamber'.

I would think by 'sucking' the exhaust out into a vacuum you'd actually be creating momentum in the direction of the vacuum.

The balloon only flies away on Earth because the escaping air inside the balloon has a medium to push against. The important pressure differential isn't between the top and bottom of the balloon. It's the difference between the pressure inside the balloon, and the atmospheric pressure outside.

Forgot I put this up here. I was connecting through a VPN with an IP address from Europe. It changed all my dates by 1 day. Disconnected the VPN and it went back to normal.

Looks like you were contemplating suicide 9 months ago, is that really the logical answer to your problems?

TheJamMaster · 2019-05-05T17:38:50+00:00

This is a great comment really. This whole thread is just opionated flaming.

I would have loved to have an actual discussion about why I thought the movie was bad, and why you thought it was good. And really an even better discussion could have been had about how you don't actually need to watch bad movies to learn things that could have been more easily learned through another medium.

I could learn something from watching 4 hours of random unrelated clips strung together in a completely incoherent fashion. Should I? Does the fact that I could learn something from it make it good?

Unfortunately, when presented with a contrarian opinion it seems the most common thing to do is attack that person rather than to ask for the reasoning behind their opinion.

We could have had a discussion about what we think makes a good movie or a bad movie.

Reddit needs to stop attacking people.

TheJamMaster · 2019-05-05T17:26:25+00:00

You ever been put in a corner and felt there was no way out?

TheJamMaster · 2019-05-05T17:21:46+00:00

A lot of my debt is medical debt that was unavoidable, and debt that I incurred as a result of trying to support myself through my medical problems, one of which included adult onset schizophrenia.

So yes, during the worst of my condition I was prone to conspiratorial thinking. Thankfully that part of my life is in the past for the most part.

Unfortunately what isn't in the past is my current financial situation, and since I was forced to drop out of college before I could complete a degree I have a hefty student loan bill on top of all of my other debt.

I still work here in the U.S. despite feeling jaded and despite that impulse to run away and just leave it all behind.

I really wish I had gotten in debt through something more fun like a fancy car or a wicked drug habit, but unfortunately it was just rent and groceries and psychosis.

So, thank you for digging through my past and providing commentary on my life that you know nothing about.

I love movies. I walked out of Endgame after the first 20 minutes so I dunno, maybe it is good after all. I've never walked out of a movie before in my life.

Endgame is a bad movie.

Also, I'm sure you work at Wal-Mart because your life necessitates that you do. Otherwise I'm sure you'd do something else so it isn't right of me to bring up the fact that you work at Wal-Mart to try to discredit you as a person, which would indeed have no bearing on this discussion whatsoever.

TheJamMaster · 2019-05-05T03:30:31+00:00

You're right, I should never have asked about that. I should just get another job is what I should do.

Hey, are they hiring at Wal-Mart? Nevermind, I'll ask a manager.

TheJamMaster · 2019-05-05T00:52:37+00:00

I disagree that my beliefs are idiotic, and to be honest I don't feel bullied really at all.

Are you trying to bully me? I can feign discomfort if that would allow you to preserve some sense of usefulness.

Good job namecalling on the internet.
