    How can this oil hedge fund giant lose so much when October was an easy short trade?

    Having had some experience trading on a commercial energy desk, and at a HF energy desk - it's a different game than what you are describing. Most of the bets are relative value in nature. Most of the instruments they are using are OTC - either financially cleared swaps or bilateral physical...

    How can this oil hedge fund giant lose so much when October was an easy short trade?

    I would respectfully disagree. Commodity fund managers are short all the time. This guy had a theme, he was levered to the gills, and he was wrong. If you look at the prospectus for commodity hedge funds - the majority feature some sort of relative value strategy quite typically. If a HF...

    newbie looking for any general or detailed advice from my peers or superiors

    It will be a journey where you will have to wade through miles of bullshit in order to find the occasional nugget of true wisdom. Please change your member name - it truly is gaudy and off-putting.

    Agreed. Which is why I stated in that same post "We also know that the body will lose lean muscle as well as body fat if the only thing that person is doing is restricting his caloric intake.".

    New Study Confirms That Carbs Make You Fat

    Oh I agree completely. I have an idea but I would not take it as fact. For that matter, there is some debate on whether the oft repeated adage of '3,436 to 3,752 calories to lose a pound' is legitimate.

    New Study Confirms That Carbs Make You Fat

    I think where the "low carb" diet is helpful is in maintaining muscle mass through the routine consumption of protein. A person can lose weight quickly simply counting caloric intake and making sure that it's less than you burn at rest. Supposedly a pound of body fat may contain anywhere...

    Meat seasoned with salt & pepper, big bowls of leafy greens with homemade Italian Dressing. Repeat. I will snack on nuts but those can add up. I’ll take a multivitamin and a few psyllium fiber caps every day. I’ll alternate steamed green beans and broccoli in there too. If I’m working out...

    If you specialize in one sector or space - that's the way it is if you're smart about it. Nothing good comes from forcing trades during periods of 'normalcy'.

    New Study Confirms That Carbs Make You Fat

    I've done great on 20 grams of Carbs per day in terms of cutting weight and keeping it off. But my trainer started forcing me to eat a baked sweet potato and some oats ninety minutes before our workouts - I was just running out of gas otherwise.

    The bigger takeaway was that the low carb diet devotees tend to keep the weight off. Makes you feel like shit during a heavy workout, though.

    Credit Default Swaps - Retail

    I would suggest that if you’d like to make a play on mortgages - find a listed stock with heavy mortgage balance sheet exposure or a mortgage bond fund. I don’t have any specific name suggestions. Your own personal access to the Swaps market is not going to happen.

    IMO the Dems were just as eager to get rid of him as Trump. Note how besides his internet Fanboyz - NO Democratic Party representatives are stepping out of their way to defend him. Crickets from the Dems...

    Avenatti The Slayer

    If someone managed to get both the girlfriend and Apartment security to play along I suppose anything’s possible. Not likely though - you’ve security guards and cameras to contend with and the girlfriend breakup was quite recent.
