Everyone keeps saying that Putin knows what he is doing, but nobody is aware that he is a 70+ year old dictator on a power trip and trying to get whatever he wants because that is what he is used to, and more like a child crying in the middle of a supermarket calling moma I want to buy this thing and when she refuses that kid keeps on crying and disturbing everyone. That is the case here, we are not going to end up with anything special with Putin does and suddenly go "oohh that's what he was going for, now I get it, wow such a smart move".

No, he is just a dictator on a power trip trying to get away with whatever he wants, and this will keep on hurting Russians.

That is the start of every trading. If you are trading with the money you do not care about losing, you would become a better trader, most people are not doing that and they are losing a lot of money. If you end up using money that you may need, then you are going to end up cashing out at a loss whenever you need the money.

However, if you do not need the money then you are not going to end up with a loss, you are going to end up with a drop at some point but since you do not care about it, you would be able to wait it out and eventually end up at positive again and sell it and make a profit, that has been the case for most professional traders profits.

It is just announced that there will be a F1 Manager 2022 game! I can't wait for it to happen, with the amazing innovations on the computer technology and game engines, it could be so much great.

 Here is the video of it and you can find it on steam right now and add it to your wishlist as well. It will probably not be awesome right on the first day and will lose a lot of people because of the bugs, but when completely finished and if open to workshop modding, this game could really become the thing we all wanted, or at least what I wanted. Plenty of people played motorsports manager both on PC and on mobile like crazy for years, and they were not even that great when you consider many aspects of it, and had little to no graphics as well. With the new frontier development team help, this game could become something amazing if done correctly.

Considering Galatasaray is a team that is doing horrible and just lost to Konyaspor, I am pretty sure that not only will Barcelona win against GS, but they will also end up dominating that game as well. I am guessing 4-0 type of score is not unlikely.

Sure galatasaray played differently in Europa and they finished their group at the first stage, there is no denying that but at the same time we have to look at their domestic league results as well. A team that is 12th in Turkish league versus a team that is third in la liga, that difference is staggering and this is a new Barcelona as well. If they were this good from the start, they would be fighting for the top spot in la liga right now.

Considering Leipzig is normally a good team, and Red Bull always manages to put enough money into their sports teams to make them great, I am pretty sure that we are going to see them be awesome in the longer term as well.

Even if they do not end up winning this one, they could get a winning streak going on that will make sure that they end up with better results. So all in all, there is a good idea behind betting on Leipzig for not just the upcoming match, but for all the remainder of the season so that you could martingale when they lose, since I believe they will have a lot more wins than losses or ties. Still, of course, this is just a prediction and not the result.

It is not just about Rockets being bad on the roster, it is also bad that they do not have the system they require to get better as well. That is the difference between football and basketball, in football you see like Barcelona having a system and they actually play with that as long as possible, even if the roster changes. In basketball, we have coaches and coaches have systems and Silas haven't found his all that well just yet.

It means if you put someone like Phil Jackson or Pop on top of Rockets today, they would be a team that would be a lot better, not great (given how Spurs are not even playoff team right now) but at least a better system. That is why people are shocked when they win a game, specially against a team like Memphis.

I think he just wants to keep on doing the "Russian way" and go reach the USSR levels of map once again. He doesn't need to actually control the lands, he just needs puppets around him and Zelensky showed that he is not interested in that. Look at Belarus, they are basically their own nation but they are not liked by many and Russia put a puppet at the top of the board there.

This is why I believe that there is a good case to be made about Ukraine attack not even being about an attack. Just get rid of their leader, put a puppet leader that is more pro-Russian and then leave them be. It is never about lands, it is about being in control for Putin and he wasn't in control of Ukraine at all.

I think after that result, I can clearly say that there is really nothing that could be said to Sevilla vs Real competition right now, it was always obvious that they wouldn't be able to compete. There is a reason why big clubs are big and others are not.

Barcelona had a terrible season start, and yet they are fighting for that second spot, whereas Sevilla had a great start and even had a chance to be at the top, and instead they got a tie out of nowhere. This should be a case to see why big clubs are always dangerous even on their bad seasons. I feel like instead of Sevilla fighting for top spot, they should fight to keep their second rank because Barcelona is coming to take that away.

Bitcoin is the best investment at all times for me. Not that altcoins are bad, or even fiat, when you spend it wisely but bitcoin is "best", just because something is best, doesn't make others bad. Like if you buy ETH or BNB, that is good in my eye as well, I have them too, or if you get a debt and buy a house, and rent that out, that is not bad neither. A friend of mine had 700k or so around 8 years ago, and he turned that into 28 million dollars worth of houses. How? He just bought a lot of debt while growing his business of buying houses.

I do not know the exact numbers, but he started with 700k I know that, and got like 4 houses, but not with all his money, he also took loans from banks to get that 4 houses, he paid his loans back, and with the money he made plus showing 4 houses as collateral, he got like some more, I think he had 11 in the end? Not entirely sure. Also the inflation kicked in at the same time, and that made him super rich. Obviously inflation was responsible for 50% of his increase but still he took that chance.

Unless you are at the very start of your trading, you never trade with 100% of your bankroll. No good trader does that, you store most of your money in something like ledger so that you could keep it safe.

Let's assume you have 100k, you would not be trading with 100k anyway, that is too risky and there is no need for that, you would trade with at most 3-5k and then you could store the rest in a secure location. Then you would be trading with that amount and when that amount reaches to like 10+ thousand, then you remove some of it and go back to 5k again. That’s how all the rich traders I know have done it so far in the past 5 years. If you have a thousand dollars and want to trade, then of course you may end up with depositing it all.

I do not care about today's games. However it is clear to me that tomorrows games will be a lot better. Bayern vs Leverkusen going to be awesome game. I mean Bayern will 90% chance end up winning again, but it is cool to see them against good teams, it makes a boring week when big clubs play against like furth or something, and leverkusen is a great one they are right behind Dortmund and if Dortmund slips up some more they could even become second.

This doesn't change the fact that they are going to still lose, it's Bayern after all and I always expect Bayern to beat anyone, but if you are going to wager against Bayern on any game, there are few like this that will show itself.

I do not know, why would I want to get drama in my life? I mean don't we all have it already? Since 2020, we had pandemic, I had some family emergencies, some health crisis unrelated to covid, now war, and plenty other things in between as well, this past 2 years has been probably worst in my life already. I do not get why we need more drama? That could be the reason why I am in long term holding as well, it just makes sense that way and I could be making a decent return by simply holding and ignoring everything.

I just buy and hold and keep it there, and that's all I do, I do not care about anything else. Doesn't that make more sense to you? I am not saying that it should be profiting a lot, it may not, it may take a while but it is calming and relaxing way to do it.

Russia is once again kicked off the races list, just like they are kicked out of everything. Am I hearing Istanbul music again? They haven't been around for years, and then suddenly they got involved due to pandemic, and now they are getting another possibility due to a whole new war breaking out.

Turkey track must be owned by someone who is the luckiest person in the world, he keeps getting chances after chances. If he made some good money from the last 2, and if he gets accepted this time around as well, then for the fourth one he should be able to pay up directly as well. All based on super lucky situations for him while it is terrible for the whole world.

I do not think that Nice has any chance of getting even a draw. PSG is getting ready for champions league, and we all know how important that is for them. If they just leave their players out to get rested, that would be harder because they are not too tired anyway and players would lose match sharpness if they miss this game.

Maybe Messi would, since he is a bit older but Mbappe is healthy and young so he will play and even him alone makes all the difference. I believe that PSG doesn't really feel not favorites to win against any team. Nice could be third, and they could be doing well in the league but that is not against PSG, that's just too much of a difference.

The game between Sevilla and Barcelona is still long way out though, isn't it? Everyone is talking about that game here and I got confused about it, why do people keep talking about this situation right now? I get that in the future those two will play and that is going to be a bit of a game changer, that is understandable. But, that is like a month away from right now and it shouldn't really impact the situation all that much until then.

We are looking at like 3-4 more games until that date and considering that, it means difference could be a lot bigger or a lot smaller until then, right? We may have Barcelona ahead even before that, or we may have 10+ point difference for Sevilla as well, who knows?

Swing trading is not kind of active trading hence it must be shorter version of holding . Yeah, if you are able to predict the turning point of markets then you can go for swing trading. If you try to catch short term swings then that will lead to scalping which is one of the worst strategy in day trading at least for crypto markets.

For example, if you were able to predict bitcoin market's ATH by December 2017 and if you have managed to sell your one bitcoin around $18k to 19k levels then you might have got chances to buy back for 4x gains when bitcoin crashed to below $4k by December 2018. Same could be the another scenario where bitcoin crashed from $64k to $28k in 2021.

Swing trading needs fundamental analysis along with little bit technical analysis whereas holding just need only fundamental things hence holding is suitable for all and most other things including swing trading is suitable for "traders only".

The passive income world is a massive world where everyone is dreaming of a stable and profitable one. After all, if you have a passive income from something like BFG, then reinvest all of that, and do that for 10 years and it is stable, then you could get very rich.

Imagine putting up 10k dollars today on USDT and earning 20% per year on it without ever touching it, then imagine you keep on investing just 100 dollars to it every month, and you end up holding it for 20 years without ever touching it, do you know how much it makes? It makes 627k dollars, 10k initial and 24k over course of 20 years, so nearly 593k earned from the interest. So what makes us not do this? The lack of stability in most stuff.

Barcelona has been incredible for the last few weeks. They have proven to the world that they are not the same team that started the season, they are so much different and they have been playing so much better. If you still think that Barcelona is not really good this season then you haven't watched them recently.

Auby once again scored, that is a proof that they are making smart financial decisions as well. That torren transfer for 50 million was the only one that they spent a lot, aside from that they haven't paid much and they got so many cheap or free players that turned the team around. Right now they are different even on roster, but the mindset is a lot better as well.

I would guess that there is now a chance that for the first time in his history, Lebron could get traded. I do not know how and why and to where, but Lakers are feeling like Lebron at least has some financial value, he is a great player but also has financial value, people come out to watch him, and they could trade him to some team for future assets back. They lost all their picks, and if they could trade Westbrook, AD and Lebron to some team for just some assets, and expiring contracts. Then they could rebuild it like they did during last years of Kobe.

That D'lo, Randle, Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, Clarkson, Kuzma, Caruso type of players are now doing pretty well, if they were all back in Lakers today, they would be doing better than right now. I am not even kidding, those players in the same team today would be doing better than today's Lakers. Hence rebuilding could start as soon as this off season.

There needs to be some sort of independent organization that checks refs as well. Since it is a huge league system, where they have as much as 10+ leagues in England, that is a proof that they could find refs from anywhere, they could always replace refs, just take one from league below, and they would do the same so every ref would jump one league above.

Create that independent organization and when one ref does something stupid like this, give them a warning, 3 warnings and they are out, if they do not make any mistakes again for a whole year then they get a clean sheet at the start of the new season.

This means refs would have to be very careful, they are getting paid a ton of money and they are also in charge of a multi-billion dollar sector in England as well, to give it to someone who makes more than 3 mistakes in a season would be wrong. This would prevent any bad refs and would give FA a chance to have the best by allowing only the ones that do not make mistakes stay and the bad ones will be gone.
