    I agree Khotso. He's a criminal, and should do jail time along with his co-conspirators.
    Unfortunately, more D.C. politicians than anyone cares to admit will become wealthy while in office. Some of that enrichment is totally legal (according to the laws they write themselves to govern Congress), and some of their dealings are shady at best (but again, legal according to the laws they write themselves to govern Congress). What pains me is that only a very, very small percentage of the illegal activities of sitting Congressmen and women ever see the light of day. Those instances where any of them are charged with any crime are even more rare. You don't have to look far to find shining examples of corruption among our elected officials. A sad state of affairs.

    Better luck!

    I learned my lesson on trading things I dont understand with the volatility ETF's a few years back.. I avoid cripto for that reason. Now I stick with the stuff I know, can track, and have more "control" over. Those are big losses, hopefully you can re-tool and get back on track.

    I tried a handful of inverse ETFs awhile back. Even with short holding times, I got hurt. quote the raven "Nevermore"! (for the time being anyway)

    Well, not much has improved, but I look back and its been one helluva BULL year... since I am a professional introvert bear, I am just going to hibernate since being a bear in this market has been painful for a long time. B/H is looking mighty nice... which, Tom, might be a good indicator of a top...
