More sensitivity?  Noooope, probably not!

Something other than "what a cad?"  Proooooobably.

I was stunned when I read your earlier post.  You deserve better treatment than that.  I hope she becomes more sympathetic.

Totally. I had to backtrack to see what this was about, and this is... I don't even.

It is not really possible for me to understand her mom's reaction... though I suppose denial is a good one.  Trying to rationalize away a tradgedy, instead of facing it for what it is.

I just don't know.

Do what you feel you need to, to be strong and overcome this vector. Nobody knows what that is but you. I wish you only good fortune doing it.

No. No, Vectormom. That is not okay. That is not how to respond. That is not how to treat your daughter. That is not how to respond to rape being a thing. Just... no. In so many ways I cannot express it properly, no.

Aaaand Bauglir summarizes everything thought on the topic. >_>
...Back to general sads as I don't think its nice to discuss it any further unless Vec says so.

Vectormom

Could you please start calling her that? Please?

[AlleeCat]

Talking about my childhood is making me miss my mom... 
I wish I could just call her up and talk to her, but unfortunately that's not how death works...

I can't believe we've reached a stage where terrorists post social updates on twitter.

I was wondering whether I should put it in the sad or WTF thread. I'll crosspost it.

Had this last spring. Sold it for ~1.2 cents/share [.012] and took a tidy profit. Unfortunately I did not reload after the dump phase, and in the last month it got re-pumped to way past the previous pump level. Goddamnit. I could've made 20 times my money if I had.


Why, oh why, did I not pick up those shares at .001 The 'pot' stocks always do this this time of year too, stupid me.

Today:

Creative Edge Nutrit (FITX)
0.0585 ▲ 0.0136 (30.29%)

Reached 6 cents. I could've made 6,000%. :[

Don't have enough to invest in the markets.

[Mephansteras]

I really need to read up on investing and do some on my own. I've got money invested in various funds and whatnot, but I think I could be doing a lot better for myself.

Basically, this is my investment strategy. I go with dangerous maneuvers for most gain. I do not suggest my strategem. Though I do have sound principles to back up what I do, the stocks I pick are not for the faint of heart. I've seen a couple good 99.9% losses the last few years.

Honestly, just buy GE, Johnson&Johnson and Exxon and you'll likely be alright for the rest of eternity. I just like to play the game.

i've done some initial efforts into money market analytics, but the market changes too rapidly to get a good predictive heuristic made that can adapt.

The best I could get was around a 70% confidence of when the "christmas effect" in the US market would take action, and when it would cease.  I couldn't get a very good confidence margin at all for how pronounced the effect would be (using simple first principles)-- and so I couldnt determine what the ideal formula for exploiting the christmas effect on US currency valuations was in terms of entry, incubation, and exit dates and times, and the expected returns.

That makes intelligent investment very hard.

The stock market is balls-crazy in comparison to the comparatively calm and graceful currency market. I would never dream of trying to predict major trends there. way outside my league.

As for how much you *need* to start using a money market investment strategy, my bank has a minimum of 500 dollars investment.  It is theoretically possible for reasonably poor people to begin investing with money markets, if they self-educate-- but I warn, IT IS VERY HARD. Not impossible-- but to get "big big returns" in the currency market, you have to be very clever indeed.  You can use it as an incubator to build a small slush fund to start the more risky stock market trading though.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

Currency markets are easier to predict because monetary policy in central banks is rather transparent.

[wierd]

Yes, but the international politics that drive the currency value is hard to predict.

EG, Egypt and pals.  If you had invested heavily in egyptian currency, you would be screaming at yourself right now.
