KM..what happened?? at the casinos the slots are designed to payout a certain percentage of the money coming into the machines. a dollar slot is set to payout 90%, a 5 cent slot will payout only 70%...giving the high roller a reward.

Electronic trading has become the same as the casinos..electronically generated. paying out predetermined amount and no more than that.

all these brokerage firms are running automatically, computer does all the work. thier payouts in the last 4 months are probably set in the 15% range, and can be adjusted accordingly...The firms know in advance and are given time to compensate considering they tweek the controls on the machines which do the trading.

I stopped out with all capital intact, giving back only what I took earlier in the year, and work fulltime Job at a Veterans hospital, as does my wife. It is sufficient to make ends meet, if budgeted wisely. Then of course there is sufficient game animals and great gardening soils where I live.Do not worry, I am fine.

thanks for asking.
