As a matter of interest, how many trades do people average in a day ?

I'm basically a buy and hold type, and sell usually a year or so later when I need the cash.
Not saying it is a great strategy but between 800/1000 buy or sell a year here

another version of: we do not know anything about it but IT IS NOT an islam related attack,
DO NOT vote Trump...or anger our Saudis allies
For whatever reason something big was planned in NY and did not eventuate;

Conspiracy theory version: it is Trump/the CIA/the military lobby/the Mossad, anything else?

More realistically: another salafist loony who decided to do his internet researches and tried to blow up the bad infidels, who if arrested will be described as mentally instable.
 
First Ever Quadriplegic Treated With Stem Cells
Regains Motor Control in His Upper Body​

For the first time ever, neuroscientists have treated a total quadriplegic with stem cells, and he has substantially recovered the functions of his upper body only two months into the process.

The Keck Medical Center of USC announced that a team of doctors became the first in California to inject an experimental treatment made from stem cells, AST-OPC1, into the damaged cervical spine of a recently paralyzed 21-year-old man as part of a multi-center clinical trial.

On March 6, just shy of his 21st birthday, Kristopher (Kris) Boesen of Bakersfield suffered a traumatic injury to his cervical spine when his car fishtailed on a wet road, hit a tree, and slammed into a telephone pole.

Two weeks after surgery, Kris began to show signs of improvement. Three months later, he’s able to feed himself, use his cell phone, write his name, operate a motorized wheelchair and hug his friends and family. Improved sensation and movement in both arms and hands also makes it easier for Kris to care for himself, and to envision a life lived more independently.

“As of 90 days post-treatment, Kris has gained significant improvement in his motor function, up to two spinal cord levels,” said Dr. Liu. “In Kris’ case, two spinal cord levels means the difference between using your hands to brush your teeth, operate a computer or do other things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, so having this level of functional independence cannot be overstated.”

Doctors are careful not to predict Kris’ future progress.


 
The Baht will take a beating, but lets hope thats all that happens and the country doesn't go to pieces...
I think it will go to pieces.
The king was widely loved (not so much by the red shirts).
But his son Prince Vajiralongkorn is not. I've heard a lot of rumours about this guy behind closed doors.
 
There is a higher level of fear invoking media reporting happening. Equities crashing, the Brexit implosion, Chinese growth continues slowing, Noco hasn't showered for three days :D

I don't you have slept for 3 days......What the hell are you raving on about?

"The newspaper report uses the example of a single parent, with four children aged between 4 and 13, receiving about $52,500 tax free from the parenting payment, family tax benefits, rent assistance and the energy supplement".

Australian government departments are run by complete f#cktards. Imagine running a business that way.

There should be a law against having children without a nuclear hetero (mother father) family structure, with a combined earned income of >50k.

Yep, too many people already. If people can't afford kids without other people paying for them, don't have them.

How short our memories are. Wasn't John Howard the Greatest PM ever in the opinion of some? :confused:
Yet he started the Baby Bonus nonsense, creating a generation of single parent families with large TVs and a sense of entitlement to be supported by the Taxpayers because "You're worth it."

What goes around comes around.
