How to Start Trading Stock in 2019

From one finance amateur to another: it’s actually easy — We sat around the yule log this holiday with my extended family, discussing the latest crash in the market. I quickly realized that not many people understand how the stock market works. Or, if they do, they have pretty typical fears that are validated the moment they trade their first…

Plumbers are losers

How we’re fueling the despairing class — When I look back at my nascent career in Washington, D.C., I survey a mixture of tangible and ambiguous accomplishments — all of them paper pushing in some regard.
