Reply to Bing vs chrome by Arlo1515

>There are several reasons why Bing has not been able to dominate the search engine market despite being faster and more efficient than Google. Firstly, people are creatures of habit and tend to stick with what they know, even if there is a better option available. Secondly, Google has a much larger user base due to its earlier entry into the market, which gives it a network effect advantage. Finally, many people perceive Google as being more trustworthy than Microsoft/Bing due to its long history of providing accurate results.

It does seem that OP may be a little ecstatic from riding the gain train all of this week, and is now in the headspace of "it'll go up forever and never come back down".

It'll be interesting to see how natural gas performs next week, especially with how this current cold snap (which is most likely what drove up the price this week) isn't supposed to last long. Temperatures here in Canada are going back to unusually warm as of tomorrow.

I have a feeling we'll be in for a bouncy consolidation for the next little while, until a clear price movement takes place.

Ok, I searched the internet and couldn't find a single source claiming that natural gas consumption doesn't go down going into summer (drop off starting in March). It goes up with high temperatures in the summer (never reaching the winter highs). So if it always goes down considerably next month, why would we expect the price to go up right now?

Not true.

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer electronic payment network that requires no trusted 3rd party, no bank or Visa can sanction or deny payments on Bitcoin (Ethereum is already floating adding this capability now that they are PoS), and final irreversible payment occurs faster than Visa or ACH. Bitcoin is not a security, even the SEC has admitted this, while Ethereum is now considered a security by many at the SEC and even those who want to be Ethereum friendly have not said it isn’t a security like they have with Bitcoin, which is another advantage of Bitcoin.

I’m not going to shit on Ethereum like I will shit on 99% of the other crap out there (smart contracts are cool, I like Vitalik overall), but to say Bitcoin has no use case is ignorant. Just because it may not have a use case for you doesn’t mean there aren’t tens of thousands of people every day finding value in the services that Bitcoin’s network provides.

I trade a six figure account so can trade several thousand shares if I like. I normally trade 500 share lots. Sometimes more. First of all - I sometimes make more than $1 on the move, sometimes less. But often take more than one trade on it per day. The other day it moved up $5 and right back down $5. I caught a couple points each way. My post was just an approximation- saying it had been good to trade.
