I've barely looked at BMT's site but I think it's a catch 22. Their site looks cleaner with less wackjobs but is probably way overmoderated. ET is pretty much anything goes, but dude, the quality over here sucks. I mean I have no idea where some of these recent posters are coming from...

What the f**k? Dude, do you understand how VIX options are calculated? They don't USE expiring options. It's a 30 day forward. There is no collusion. Replace the tin foil hat. Man there have been some real weirdos on this site lately. Is there something in the drinking water?

Nah, only a few guys in there. Pretty small. If you walk by the pit you are surely to miss it.

Statistical arbitrage and CANSLIM? Oh dear God. You've jumped the shark. Time to hit unsubscribe to this thread. LOL.

You are wrong of course. Z was spotted on IBD in the $25 range because that is actually when I first started trading it. And I got it right off of IBD. And dude, several of us have already answered your first question on the thread. You just didn't seem to like the answer.

I should add to this while the ET billionaires on this site (almost everyone) may scoff at merely beating the S&P 500 by 5x over a 14 year period, the guy runs for all practical purposes a bear fund. He has essentially been short the market for 14 years and beat it 5x over. Compare his...

Why? Because he has outperformed the S&P 500 by 5X since inception over a 14 year period? LOL.

I hope that is actually not your goal. LOL. This website is called "Elite Trader" not "Elite Investor".

Alright, we are not on the same wavelength here. You are talking about looking for "stock picks" and I'm referring to hard core data analysis. I think we are having two different conversations here and that's fine. And btw, if you are trying to go down that road of stock picking, IBD had Z...

The only pits you will see with activity are the VIX, Corn Options and Ten Year Options.

This statement makes no sense. So I mention data and you bring up reading a newspaper. Did you accidentally post in the wrong thread? Once again, my comment was specifically concerning manipulating numerical data that is being presented to you. I'm not talking about reading the human...

You are not understanding what I am saying. Traders live and feed off of data. How you choose to manipulate that data is your choice. Where that data comes from is also your choice. I never mentioned anything about "reading" a newspaper or watching CNBC. What do you think "yesterday's...

It's not a newspaper. It's a data warehouse. And yes, you DO need data to trade profitability. Even those squiggly lines you probably look at on a chart are data.

Is $30 a month really expensive? Do you have any idea how long it takes to compile and organize data? Surely even if you only value your time value at minimum wage then the value of IBD far exceeds $30. The value of IBD is they are going out into the data market and putting in front of you...

Probably none of the above. Calender strips are not really directional trades that far out. And in fact, if they become directional, it might be the other way. Second, I don't even know how one begins to try to ascertain a bullish view long term like that in anything energy related. Here...

OK, I'm still confused. You are with a JBO now and you are looking for a new JBO? And why are you looking for a backer with a 7 figure account? I was in the business for a decade so I know how the JBO's work forward and backwards. You will get far better margins in a portfolio margin...

I'm sorry, this post does not make much sense. You made 7 figures in a retail account and now are looking to trade in a prop account or yet even crazier, looking for a backer? Do you want to edit this post and give it another go? BTW, you do know what portfolio margin is right?

I'm surprised this is getting very little attention on ET when you think of the precedence this court decision could set potentially for ET and for Baron.

It's not economies of scale. It's a combination of the economic principles of adverse selection and moral hazard. This has been well modeled.
