Following on my other journal, I'd like to be a seer for your stocks. So, just list 3 stocks you'd want me to rate and follow and I'll try to post as I can. For instance, you choose: CSCO, F, GE I may pick a 1, 4, and 3 respectively (as monitored in my other journal). Then I'll update...

Can anyone explain why equities, futures, and forex have differing leverage limits? Why the extremes from the margin on most stocks of only up to 50 percent to currency leverage up to a factor of 200:1? Just historical/insititutional habit?

To clarify, you can know whether the operation is working by examining the resulting spread. If it widens as you buy then you know that there are no follow-on buyers to support your move. However, if the spread stays narrow--it keeps up as the price rises from your buying--then you know that...

I would pick relatively high volume stocks as thinly traded stocks would not have positive underlying support (look for narrow spreads).

Is this possible (or new) when you have a large stake of stock you wish to unload? Let us say you have 1 million shares (you are a hedge fund) and the current bid price is 25.00. You know that it takes as little as 1000 shares to move its price. Instead of just unloading the shares at a...

I know that Jim Cramer of TheStreet.com/CNBC does do this with his RealMoney Pro subscription service.

It's not a matter of cliente, but what gets you the most bang for the buck. Why do you think investment pros subscribe to institutional research?

I have wondered why so many investment professionals would rather sell their advice than run money. Why would they peddle their newsletter tips for only $50/mo instead of managing a $100M fund? Wouldn't you rather be a Wall street big shot than a retail peddler? I think it is v. simple...

Do a regression analysis. See if the correlation and r^2 numbers are high.

Investment partnerships can be either public or private. I am talking about firms w/ publicly owned listed stock.
