Duke, I assure you, whatever ideas you have, whatever thoughts on this are going through your head, whatever clever constructs you can imagine, I have tried them all over 16 years. You can take that for what it's worth or completely disregard it. Here is your conflict. "When" one needs to...

This has nothing to do with a market top. The top 1% has a real thriving economy. It's not artificial like it was in 1999, it's actually real. The rest of us get "what-a-burger". Welcome to the new standard.

Surf, why? Why are you doing this man? Let me just say, I'm a big believer when you don't need something anymore, whether it's trading books, your old PTJ video or this phone, give it away to charity. Trust me, the goodwill will come back to you. I never understood the idea of selling...

Huh? FX moves in small percentages? Dude, a 2% move will blow out 100% of your account in a single day!!!! A 2% move in your favor will double your account in a single day. LOL.

Are you serious? The volume is 100k times that of weekly options. LOL.

FX...go all in...50 to 1...balls to the wall....99.99% right? Definitely FX. Good luck.

Ricter, during the booming 90's under your boy Clinton with 4% unemployment, these people were still committing these crimes. Or wait, did you think the south side of Chicago was safe then? LOL. Come on dude, you are running out of excuses. Stop defending it and start focusing on how to fix...

+1 Well done Tom. Once again, the facts quiet these people up really fast.

It's the same reason Hitler liked to think of himself as a Catholic even though he was a Pagan. The same reason terrorists think Allah is supporting them. When people commit heinous acts of any kind or advocate violence or hate, they want to "believe" they are right to do so and many of them...

In a country with 330 million people, what do you think the three standard deviation people look like? Or even the 10 standard deviation. As crazy as these people look, they are harmless. Not even competent enough to be dangerous. Meanwhile, run into the wrong brother on the south side...

There is no spot oil. The physical market is basically a delivery market. It's about the cost of moving oil from point A to point B. Physical oil can trade at 100 different prices. The oil that is delivered into Cushing, OK is used to settle futures contracts on NYMEX. Oil that is NOT...

Because you went from unlimited upside risk to unlimited downside risk. You can call it a hedge all you want, but it's not really a hedge. It gives you the illusion of stability as your p&l over the very near term will be less volatile. But if vol continues to increase, you're going to have a...

It was tempting to try to grab it at 1265 which was a sweet failed monthly A down last month. But this has been so weak for so long, I wanted to buy it on strength. The monthly A up for me is 1370 which is where we failed to the tick so far. Once we take that out, 1550 might be in the cards...

I got long Gold around 1300. First time in a LONG time. It's actually the first bullish signal I got in Gold all year. Silver gave a buy signal yesterday. Both look great. Remember the rarity principle, the more infrequent you get a signal in something, the better the trade. Copper and...

I understood your question. Let me re-phrase my answer. Instead of trying to make more money by increasing leverage, try to increase your return by increasing your alpha. By doing the former, you will never get to the latter. Hope this makes sense.

You are trading one unbounded risk for another. It's like saying you stopped doing heroine for meth. The risk hasn't changed, you just flipped the modality.

You are asking all the wrong questions. You are not buying a smart phone, you are trading. No such thing as bang for the buck. This is not a 99 cents store.

That is fucking hilarious. Who the hell is that guy?

I've talked about this ETF a lot on here. It's hitting a new 52 week high today. This is an easy way for you guys to trade the yield curve which is going through nice steepening process. I think this is a better trade then being short bonds or fixed income outright. And when the...
