"Benchmark indexes extended gains after Buffett told a conference in California that his Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is “buying stocks right as we speak” and he’s getting a “lot for my money” in equities." Has Buffett joined the propaganda ministry?? Or is the credit bubble too...

Ok. It's good to keep that scenario in mind as well. Blowoff is indeed possible, but I am not betting for it. Are there any examples of blowoff tops in a bear market? I can't recall any.

So you're carrying 55 ES futures waiting for that blowoff top and VIX to drop to the low teens?? Crazy boy! What makes you so sure of that blowoff? I could see the VIX in high teens, but low teens, not in many many years. It just made a new 52-wk low, and that is in my opinion a great time...

Thanks for a very interesting trading story, a great read! Wonder how many lots are you trading nowadays. :)

Agree. Back to the 32s, please!

And many more to come. Perhaps the best site to track bank failures: http://bankimplode.com/

Why is there still that ugly gap between the candles? Such a waste of space.

Excellent article, thank you. Andy Xie is always interesting. In fact, we should have an Andy thread here.

All of these look like losers now. When will you stop out?

You can stick the VaR where the sun doesn't shine. The recent crisis should have proved to everyone its uselessness.

Haha, good question! Perhaps because the quants want to believe there is an arb.

Thanks for the info. Why so? I'd prefer to short them vs the USD, or even better, the JPY. Also like to be short EUR vs USD (and JPY). Have to try these futures. Palladium wasn't too bad!

Is there enough liquidity in these emerging mkt futures?

How can I trade emerging market currencies via IB? Contract selection does find BRL, HUF, LVL, PLN and RUB (all vs the USD, and on IDEALPRO), but I can't get any quotes.

Exactly my view as well. For practical purposes I am concentrating my shorting on the GBP and EUR.

Are there any comparison reviews about these two, and possibly other platforms? Preferably with some pictures too.

Works fine, no problems. You can also connect an external monitor (at least up to 24") to your EEE PC.

Could anyone explain why exactly has RIEF and other quant funds been underperforming recently, and what does this have to do with the market's liquidity?

Nothing but??? You are embarrassing yourself by revealing your ignorance. Freakonomics is a gem of innovative thinking in a world of excessive conformity.

By shorting an UltraShort I am in fact trying to get a long position in the underlying. I like the dynamic that as gold goes higher, my position in GLL decreases automatically. That's why I would prefer to get long gold in this manner.
