Still baffled by the decision of Hunter Biden to give an interview today and also by what he said.

Hunter Biden acknowledges that he got the 50K/month position by trading on his last name but also insists that it wasn't "improper" to do so.
Hunter is a grown man in his 40s. This doesn't really have anything to do with his father.

Nor does it excuse Trump's law-breaking or validate Trump's conspiracy theories.

But I don't think it's controversial to say people should get jobs on merit rather than their dad's name
And yes, I know that nepotism is very common and lots of people leverage their name for money and access but that doesn't mean its right or that I need to defend it.

1. This is important. Because telling the truth to Congress is important.

Yesterday, @AOC asked Zuckerberg why Facebook had selected The Daily Caller, which has published pieces from white supremacists, as a fact-checking partner.
2. Zuckerberg replied: "We actually don't appoint the independent factcheckers. They go through an independent organization called the [International] Factchecking Network"

I asked the director of the International Fact-checking Network (@factchecknet), @baybarsorsek, about that
3. Over Twitter DM, @baybarsorsek confirmed to me that Zuckerberg's answer was FALSE

"We don't appoint any fact-checking org from our verified signatories to work with Facebook," Orsek said

@AOC asked Zuckerberg a tough question & he dodged it by saying something not true

Remarkable.

Zuckerberg tells @AOC that he DOES NOT KNOW if she could run ads in a GOP primary saying one of the candidates supports the Green New Deal

What @AOC is doing is breaking down the distinction Facebook is trying to make between "fact checking" and "voter suppression"
@AOC Facebook will have as big an impact on the 2020 election as any candidate or political party.

That's why I am intensely scrutinizing Facebook's actions in my newsletter, Popular Information

This will be a thread of all the Republican members of Congress who defended Trump by saying NO QUID PRO QUO

The purpose of these statements is to suggest, if there was evidence of a quid pro quo, these members of Congress would take it seriously
Today, Bill Taylor, the top diplomat to Ukraine, testified that there was an explicit quid pro quo

Trump withheld military aid for the purpose of pressuring Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and the Democrats

So these Republicans have some explaining to do
Congressman Graves: "There’s no evidence of quid-pro-quo...You can’t impeach a president just because you hate him."

#Biden slumps, #Buttigieg soars, tied with #Sanders and #Warren, #Harris next in benchmark #Iowa poll thehill.com/homenews/campa…
Critical point here is that the MSM is claiming that #Sanders "came within a handful of votes" of #HillaryClinton, when he lost in a landslide of 4M votes, 1k pledged delegates (not SDs) and a dozen states.
2/
This false narrative harms #Sanders--it's meant to highlight how badly he's doing in 2020 and prop up #Biden. But Sanders is actually doing better than in 2016. There are just more players. And Biden is being replaced by a younger centrist, #Buttigieg.

#TRADING Intraday Trading Setup 3 - Pivot trend relationship setup
Before getting into the setup a brief intro on pivots; Today's HLC will pave way for tom's pivots. Yesterday's HLC was used for today's pivots. In short `n' period HLC will be used for determining `n+1' pivots.
Above chart illustrates tomorrows pivots based on today's HLC. So next day's pivot Vs current days pivot position is known. In other words the pivot trend is known. If next day's pivot range is higher than today's pivot range it is called Higher value relationship;
If next day's pivot range is lower than today's pivot range it is called Lower value relationship;

Is it possible to earn above average returns in intraday? Answer is POSSIBLE , at least mathematically .

Suppose the trading capital is Rs 1,00,000.
Risk appetite per day is assumed at 3% on the trading capital, which is Rs 3000.....
...... Risk Reward accepted is min 1:2 ie you take a trade only if you get 1:2 RR.
Assuming you take 5 trades per day. Hence risk per trade is Rs 600. Reward per day is Rs 1200.
So, per month the total no. of trades will be around 100 assuming 20 working days per month.....
..... Scenario 1: At a success rate of 50%, no. of profitable trades is 50 and no. of loss making trades is 50 per month.
Hence, profit amount is 50 x 1200 = Rs 60,000 per month; similarly loss amount is 50 x 600 = Rs 30,000 per month.
Net pnl = Rs 30,000.
Retn per annum = 360%.
