"Don't push a bad position"! This is good advice in many varied quests. It is good advice in games like chess or poker. Also good advice in sports, business, politics, geopolitics and certainly in militarily ventures. Today we will...
We have all from time to time tried to help others, friends and family, by pointing them toward reality. For our troubles and efforts we have been viewed as the "squirrely" guy/gal with a tinfoil hat who see's everything as a conspiracy.
You have heard the phrase many times "it's already in the market", meaning if "something" or some sort of event happens it is already factored in to prices. I was overseas last week, travelled much of the week and stayed in a hotel that...
