Meditation is a great pratice for traders

This sounds more like distressed debt gambling

Its funny, some criticize the impeachment process by saying that it has very little legal basis due lack of crimes from 2015 and on. This would hurt countries stability, rule of law and investor confidence. But they do that by interpreting the constitution in a way that only considers crimes...

And if you consider first mandate crimes, then there are a lot of crimes. It wasnt just a technicality, it was a large fiscal fraud in an election year. As well as allegations of obstruction of justice and cover-up of corporate corruption What these journalists don't seem to get is that Brazil...

"The charge that is the basis for trying Ms Rousseff—that she manipulated accounts last year to make the fiscal deficit look smaller than it was—is so minor that just a handful of congressmen bothered to mention it in their ten-second tirades. If Ms Rousseff is ousted on a technicality, Mr Temer...

But its not just the global media outlets, its most people that commenting about the issue. Even brazilians. What I see on social media is just sad, a massive amount of confirmation biases. People who are from the left just look around for reasons to think everything is a conspiracy of the...

The last time the highest fiscal court rejected the federal goverment accounts was in 1937. They caught the government's books being cooked and that cooking has their part in the problems the country is going through right now

They think from the perspective of a 1st world country where inflation problems and fiscal problems aren't a big deal and this is just mainly an accounting issue

It's so annoying to see global media outlets coming out and saying 'there is little basis for impeachment in Brazil, Ms Rouseff needs to resign'. These journalists have little or no knowledge of legal matters and yet they feel comfortable with exposing their opinions to the world and a lot of...

2y notes respond more to expected monetary policy than to inflation (unless that inflation is expected to affect policy). The more relevant yields are the 10y and specially the 30y. The reason they are low is because inflation expectations are low. expectations matter more than current figures

Well, you are a futures trader. There is more liquidity there. In the small cap stocks that I get involved with, any kind of crowded play tends to blow up a lot faster. Even in the more liquid stocks you tend to see that. Take a look at RYLP this week. The play got crowded on the long side...

A key element that makes it difficult to size up is that in order to do it, you need confidence but with the current market structure (HFT dominated thin markets) when you feel confident about something, usually a lot of other people will do it as well. As a result there will be a short-term...

lol, I would love to see that thread because I don't believe I would ever uther such thing

Lets say a daytrader is already making consistent profits but he is having difficulty increasing his size to reach higher levels of profits. Perhaps the bigger positions induce him to mismanage traders due fear or loss or he has an internal resistance to increasing size unless he is sure the...

I would if I needed the data but at this point I don't. Maybe 1% is not the magic number, could be 0.5% 0.75%, it has to be a number that occurs often. But I'm familiar with some very backtested short-term trading systems that plays reversals on SPY and the frequency of short-term positive edges...

Looking at the WSJ chart one can already make the case that the returns in real estate (for a personal residence) is already pretty much on par with the return in stocks. Given that people bring down the theoretical return of the stock market down due biases, in the absence of some advice that...

Those safe strategies that can boost returns or beat market is something that I think about a lot. One of the reasons that I write on this journal is that one day I might want to have a good amount of written material for some kind of book/booklet to the average person on personal finance that...

I try to use this sort of thinking/strategy to try to 'juice' the returns of my risk parity portfolio. Another way its to tilt a bit of the allocation depending on the macro/risk enviroment. This tends to lead to a loss of the 'all wheather' characteristic, but if done right, it will increase...

I'm all for the average person not try to beat the market and just stick to an index. But what about "safe" strategies that tend to beat the market(or boost returns)? A monkey implementing them could probably do pretty well For instance, what about a dollar cost averaging strategy where the...

Sometimes I violate the rule (recently on PSH due the large discount to NAV and on EWZ because of some news that I saw) but I'm trying hard to avoid buying any stock I want even though I think they are undervalued. I just think at 2050 on the SPX you are just not supposed to be buying or adding...
