    Stock market dealing

    Just went long 3x micro again. Up 3% so far, tight stop. Today's lesson is a good one from Cherif: Use limit orders on MSTR - wide spread. Even wider on the 3x.

    Stock market dealing

    Got up too late for RHM this morning. The spread closes up if it's going in one direction. So far it has been liquid enough... Spread is now about €0.4 It dropped in standard reaction off the open by half a dozen Euros after the direction was clear. Currently not much happening. Started from...

    No one 'wants' to be on benefits!

    Not sure that the jobs available would fit the people available. They'd mostly be crap at picking fruit - too slow. They should do something though even if it's tidy parks, collect litter, learn to read and write.... do some exercise... They would be unreliable - mandatory bodycams.

    Stock market dealing

    The relevant trend is just the one you're hoping to take a lump out of in the time you have. Sometimes there isn't a usable trend, sure, but that one was really clear. If it's consolidating, your spread will be too wide, go elsewhere. Shawn could make money going long all day on a falling...

    No one 'wants' to be on benefits!

    That's the behaviour which needs some attention. If B-I-L was told he had to do community service to get his benefit, then he may not have suffered the dereliction he did. I know a River Warden who was unemployed a long time after tryoing some office jobs. He's very good about the state of the...

    Year end. ISAs

    Wrong. I can quote you funds I have used as examples. Poppycock. In assessing the risk you use many things. If you want to buy/invest in something and forget it, you're not going to do particularly well unless you're lucky. You're quite likely to go backwards relative to inflation. That's...

    Underfloor heating melting/staining wooden floor lacquer

    Can't really see what you mean. Those lighter stripes look like the wood's "figure" of heartwood & sapwood is just that colour. Rather nice. UFH will be all across the room, not just under one plank. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=underfloor+heating+pipes&t=newext&atb=v405-1&iax=images&ia=images...

    Understanding Towel rail valves

    It's important they're not both full open. Thats a common finding where someone complains their farthest room radiators are slow to heat - or don't at all. You find they've opened the bathroom valves fully. Tenants don't understand..... Open valves mean you have a short circuit across the flow...

    Unused coil in hot water tank

    Yes, 13cm "head" of water, approx. I thought that was obvious but perhaps not. You'd have a bit more trouble blowing 1 bar o_O.

    No one 'wants' to be on benefits!

    Now then now then, should I complain that my Personal Independence Payment didn't go up as much as my pension? Most benefits only went up by 6.7%. DIscrimination against the various classes of less fortunate, how terrible. Should I send Jeeves to complain to my M.P.? Minimum wage went up by...

    What have you been doing today?

    Das why I could never get on with condoms.

    Stock market dealing

    Keep eating chocolate while you caan. Global warming is having a serious effect on basic commodities!!!! The cocoa crops (Ghana, Costa Rica) aren't going to suddenly multiply so who knows where the top of this market will be. The price has doubled in a month

    Sleepy Joe

    From whayt I've seen Biden hasn't been oo bad, but their debt grows. It's like an animal getting fat because it's eating its tail. You can't keep doing that but nobody has an answer. Every month(?) the US has a Bond Auction. When not enough bonds are sold (eg to the CHinese) there's panic and...

    Nicked a gas pipe

    Technically No, that's not an approved gas fitting. MOst things like that are covered more or less well by "normative documents", like anything regulated really. Same way that you can't hammer a gas pipe closed and weld or braze or solder it up, it's not an approved procedure. That one would...

    Jeremy Hunt shifting the tax burden towards pensioners

    You can always elect to pay NI. Make everyone with income more than some number - £50k, say, pay NI on a rising scale whether retired or not. Cap ISA holdings to £100k per person, or prat about with the rates at which tax is paid on the interest. If someone has 1 mill in a cash Isa, at 5%...

    Unused coil in hot water tank

    ---then you should NOT be working on it --- You can cap it if you really want to. The air pressure would go from say 1 bar at 20° to 1 bar x (273 + 60) / (273+20) = 1.13 bar. Air compresses, it wouldn't explode. You can blow harder than that. Personally if I were bothered by the airflow I'd...

    Stock market dealing

    Well done. That's one benefit of listening to TTV. If someone yells thatthe market or even something important like Apple is jumping, it's likely to be significant. WAtch out for the stream delay though. You can check the exact time, it's often 15 seconds behind. I routinely click a higher...

    Stock market dealing

    "Simple"? Yes but not the way you want. Trends - , you're wrong. If you're going to be in a trade for hours, then look at a chart for that timescale, sure. But you never were,. You cannot make or justify a trade on a minutes scale, on a 1 hour chart. It's utterly inappropriate unless you'e...

    Nicked a gas pipe

    By the way the emergency gas leak people are not necessarily Gas Safe Registered operatives. Their qualfications are different from GSR's, and not even in the same set. If a GSR left a nick like that on a job and an inspector saw it, the GSR person would be forced to put it right. But that's...
