Lots of money!
This is too true to be very funny
The next time you hear a politician use the
Word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
Whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
But one advertising agency did a good job of
Putting that figure into some perspective in
One of its releases.
It has been said that 'A Billion' is such a large number that you
could not count (1-2-3-4-5-etc...) to 'A Billion' in your lifetime!!!
A. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
D. A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E. A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the
rate our government is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain, let's take a look
at New Orleans It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division .
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D), is presently asking the
Congress for $250 BILLION to rebuild New Orleans. Interesting number, what
does it mean?
A. Well, if you are one of 484,674 residents of New Orleans (every
man, w oman, child), you each get $516,528.
B. Or, if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans, your
home gets $1,329,787.
C. Or, if you are a family of four, your family gets $2,066,012.
Washington , D.C .. HELLO!!! ... Are all your calculators broken??
Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.
Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.
Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.
Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.
If he hollers,
Tax him more,
Tax hi m until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.
Put these words upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me to my doom!'
And when he's gone, we won't relax,
We 'll still be after the inheritance TAX!!

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?
Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago,
and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.
We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class
in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What happened? Can you spell 'politicians!'
And I still have to 'press 1' for English.
I hope this goes around THE USA at least a billion times
What The Heck Happened?????

Folks, I need to make clear I do not buy because of an indicator. if you use SAR insure the price action is confirming what the signal says. I don't want you to think I just throw cash in the market because of an indicator. In sideways choppy action SAR will wipe-saw and it works best in trending markets which occurs about 30% of the time.
I hope this helps!
Best Trading!

It took me a while to learn this but I think it is worth mentioning. Being humble with your trades I feel goes a long way. It took me a while to learn this. I would be up a few dollars in a stock and think I was the man. I would brag about it and think I was bulletproof. I could not figure why every time I ran my mouth my positions would get slammed. It was like a force was telling me to shut up and keep my mouth shut. Well after blowing out my account I learned what I feel is a very valuable lesson.
Are you ready for the secret? Here it is. Just simply keep your mouth shut when your position is moving in your direction. Being HUMBLE is something I think many people miss when trading. They got to run out and tell everyone how great they are and before you know it they are missing in action. It reminds me of the old soldiers, they never die they just fade away. Folks what you get from the market does not need to be known to the world.
If you don't believe me try it and see for yourself. It might be something that changes your trading results 180 degrees...
