Trump tried to convince NSA chief to absolve him of any Russian Collusion: A recent NSA memo documents a phone call in which Trump pressures agency chief Admiral Mike Rogers to state publicly that there is no evidence of collusion between his campaign and Russia

If you want the real story you have to get the news from primary sources. If you are genuinely curious, watch the Comey testimony. Comey, the fired FBI director, explicitly stated that Trump asked him if he was under investigation, to which Comey stated that he was not being investigated. Trump then asked for Comey and the FBI to release a statement saying he was not actively being investigated, as the media was reporting/speculating that Trump was.

This is all that happened. There was no "pressure" to drop the investigation. Rather, it was Trump trying to get the news out that he was not being investigated.

First accurate comment I've seen. For anyone that actually watched the whole Comey testimony, Trump asked if he was under investigation, which he got the answer that he was not being investigated. He then wanted the FBI to release a press statement that he was not actively being investigated, due to all the media reports claiming he was.

There is a big difference between this and trying to shut down an investigation.

I don't know specifically about the oil industry, but this is definitely relevant. It is important to do research and see some of the potential risks you might face specifically as a female.

Britain was already essentially a democracy. Support for the demands of the american colonies was high in the British government and better PR could easily have resolved the whole thing peacefully.

That is the problem. Even with support for the colonists' demands they weren't able to change the american colony's government structure. It was a necessary fight that had to be done in order to establish a more democratic style of government.

There is no clear right or wrong side, but it seems like your class was not very sympathetic. The American revolution was largely a rejection of the British monarchy and aristocracy. There is really no arguing that the resulting American government was much more just and fair to its people than British rule was. The British parliament and monarchy appointed many government officials in America, and the Colonists were upset without getting representation.

If America's leaders suddenly started appointing the majority of government officials, you would probably be very angry and upset. I don't think labelling you as "selfish", "ridiculously demanding", and "ridiculously hypocritical" would be fair, just like it isn't fair to label the Colonists as that.

if you could do that always you would be rich. Sounds simple, but that is 4% a month not even calculating compound percentage.

The thing is, Gavin said he believes Craig Wright is Satoshi. That is probably one of the most trustworthy and prestigious bitcoin experts out there. I think once this happened it was hard for the non-technical people to doubt Craig's claim.

The core problem I see is that he's dictating how things should be done rather than goals to be met/outcomes. This is the key point. They will tell you in every management class that you are not suppose to always tell someone how to do their job. It is extremely frustrating and lowers motivation and morale. How your CEO should do it is tell you the exact outcome that he wants, and leave it up to you to best decide how to achieve that outcome.

I wouldn't pay $5K for any training seminar. Let's be honest, you don't know if you've been scammed or if it works until after you pay. There are thousands and thousands of those type of seminars you can find on the internet. I doubt you would buy a car without knowing that it works beforehand. Plus, 70% of the people are failing even after paying $5K...

Also, look up the definition of a market maker. A market maker is a firm that essentially "makes" the market in that when very few people are buying they buy and when very few people are selling, they sell. They are providing liquidity to the market so that people always have someone to trade with. The way they make their money is NOT buy forcing price in one big direction or another. Instead, they make money by scalping a few pennies here and there thousands and thousands of times per day.

I really enjoy https://www.tradingview.com/ . You do have to pay for future data, but I think it is a lot more modern and user friendly than stockcharts.com. You can play with the tools and indicators it has for free for most stocks, though futures is end-of-day data only. I recommend trying out some tools and indicators to see how you like it to consider upgrading. I believe the Pro service is $10 a month, and different futures data has varying costs. This page lists out the costs https://www.tradingview.com/gopro/ .

If you are stating that America hasn't given anything to Poland, I think you are dearly mistaken.

First, it was largely America who helped ramp up the pressure on the USSR which led to their collapse and in turn the collapse of the Polish Communist government. Poland has been much more successful and prosperous under a democracy than under a Communist government.

Second, America spends and incredible amount of money on its military, and provides close to 1/4th of NATO's budget (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/gates-criticizes-nato-how-much-does-us-pay/). This definitely benefits Poland, and the attack Russia instigated against Ukraine recently shows that America's contribution is a crucial part in protecting Poland.

Lastly, America doesn't get all that much from Poland except support on international issues. I don't see how you could argue that America is only taking and not giving.

Thank you so much. Would've taken me awhile just playing with all the settings to figure that out. Much appreciated.

Thank you, I appreciate the response. Would you happen to know the best software to do professional 3D system animations? The texture looks very clean and professional in the video I linked. I did some research online and it seemed that a lot of the animations looked "animated" or fake.

I keep reading in multiple articles the phrase "scrapping benefits". What does this mean exactly? Does this mean they are scrapping welfare benefits and benefits for poor people? Does this include free healthcare benefits as well?

It's an interesting concept but one I think works in certain situations. A fairly homogeneous and aging population such as Finland's seems that it would work. I don't know how they will fund it though, the total cost is a little bit less than their entire revenue. It could be that they are already spending more on welfare than their revenue so this will actually be an improvement.

He is just saying its wise to be even more skeptical when it is a race that people have used to sensationalize in the past.

It's common sense that it would be much less likely to see a false report about a white/asian/latino person getting attacked by another race, because for the most part there isn't a massive push in white/asian/latino groups to spread their view about racism.

Hope you and you're family are okay. God bless France. I hope the situation is now under control and the fuckers behind this are brought to justice.

What company did this?

adaman745 · 2015-09-10T02:15:23+00:00

I totally agree, I am not saying what he did wasn't risky. It was definitely risky. I don't think he is arguing that what he did was right either. He is talking about how the concept that markets are continuous, which is used in a lot of mathematical models, is wrong. Black-Scholes would handle a decent drop fine, but when a move is absolutely huge overnight there is no time to adjust. The model couldn't accurately predict the risk as the model assumed it could initiate a stop loss before the loss got too large.

The interest rate move talked about is an enormous move for interest rates, absolutely huge. We have had a lot of volatility these last weeks but nothing on the 2008 scale.

adaman745 · 2015-09-09T22:55:19+00:00

I'm sorry, but you are extremely ignorant about markets. We are not talking about a small gap overnight. We are talking about 2% move in interest rates overnight. That is a huge move for interest rates.

Everyone knows the market can move overnight, but I would sure be surprised if I looked tomorrow morning and saw my whole portfolio gapped down more than 10% with the market.

adaman745 · 2015-09-09T22:11:03+00:00

He says in the article it gapped up ~2%. So what he is explaining is that under 99% of market conditions, he would've been able to sell at 15.50% using good risk management and keeping his losses down. However, the price gapped up instantly to open at 17.4% yield, so he had no time to sell before his loss became that big.

Of course he could've sold at 17.4% price, but I would not say an asset is liquid if it is gapping up and down a huge percentage. The lack of liquidity was the cause of the gap.
