To be clear, I don’t think there is any threat from the US welcoming many more refugees. The US is very large and is fairly good at integration and the welfare benefits aren’t generous enough to attract many of those who are unlikely to contribute much to society.

It’s a completely and utterly different story for small-population, demographically-declining countries like Sweden.

In other words, the US can take a million refugees in no problem, even if their anti-Englightenment beliefs make some areas of some cities worse.

Sweden cannot take a million anti-Enlightenment refugees in and expect to survive it long-term. It just simply cannot. The same is true for many other European countries.

Sweden will not be a good place to live in 30 or 40 years, especially for women. The same might be true in many other European countries in the medium term.

The US faces no such threat, at least not from refugees. Climate change, now that is a whole different story.

What in the hell?

What kinda mook doesn’t put in a buy-stop order when short selling?

A mook who has no fucking clue what he’s doing, that’s what kind.

I don’t feel the least bit of sympathy for this guy. He’s the one on the other end of my trades whose money I’m taking. If you’re going to play games like that, you better know what you’re doing or you’re going to be poor right quick. And I’ll have your money and be wishing you good luck on retiring to that Frigidaire box.

Sold a few stocks short. Lost very little money, made a large net gain overall. The reason is buy-stop orders.

A hard lesson, but if you are gambling understand the stakes. (This guy was gambling. What I do is not gambling.)
