I agree with this article and this one of my main themes for 2012, a US recession http://www.hussmanfunds.com/wmc/wmc120109.htm How to turn that into low risk high reward trades is a different problem that is harder to solve. I remain short HK stocks that will almost surely get hit if the US...

I believe its 30% if the country does not have a tax deal with the US(Thats what I pay)

I think in 2011 I made a bit less than half of all my yearly expenses from online poker. its not a lot but it helps to diversify Frankly, I can't wait till I can stop playing entirely. I find poker much more stressful than trading. The only reason I play is to help to pay expenses so I don't...

One will only be able to make money on the fed futures by forecasting the economy better than the Fed/Markets. The taylor rule miscalibration will be gone once they publish their FF forecasts My own Taylor type calibration was rate hikes only with the UR bellow 8% and inflation above 2.5% on...

You would think that but pre 2nd half of 2011 the world was in a constant fear of rate hikes 8-12 months in the future. I made quite a bit of coin since 2008 fading big those expectations, even in 2011 Narayana Kocherlakota(Or whatever his name is) created a large sell off in those futures by...

But it took them forever to go there. Imagine what Bernanke will be buying in 10 years if the US doesn't get out of this

IB didn't put all the option for annual reports for 2011 trader activity so I can't make exact calculations yet but my crude calculations are showing a gain of 25% on networth from all my trading in 2011 This was driven my 2 trades -Long fed funds futures -Under hedging of USD exposure...

By what criteria you say that? http://seekingalpha.com/article/226671-japan-case-study-in-private-sector-debt-bubbles Check out the CBs charts. The BOJ balance sheet did almost nothing for 10 years after their bubble went bust. Meanwhile the Fed boosted the balance sheet almost immediately...

This is good in terms of buying power but will hurt clients if IB files and we are not insured by the SPIC. Which is ironic, as a result of MF they will do something that will hurt clients even more in case it happens to them

def, You should urge them to offer this option as a opt-in choice for the client. There is simply no regulation that prohibits a broker from doing this

IB needs to make this an option clients can opt-in just like the Stock Yield Enhancement

With this kinds of borrow rates there is not much room to be wrong

Problem with shorting GRPN is the massive borrow rates you have to pay. The market markers are cleaning up on the bid ask spread of the single stock futures, the longs are collecting a lot of fee income by lending out their shares. Its the short sellers that are paying for the party

It looks like its the result of the all the idiots who think hyperhypothecation brought MFG down. Congratulation retards, you got what you wished for

How many years back have you backtested this algo?

I have. My connection is so fast I'm actually going back in time as I trade. I shorted Whale Oil futures the other day, I'm betting crude oil will take over the world

Stocks like NLY are far from having safe dividends. First the yield curve will invert many times during 50 years. Also mortgage refis will cut down their earnings(some predict this will happen pretty soon) Your portfolio has an avg yield of 15%, ask yourself why wouldn't other investors buy...

Marfin is one of the top banks in Cyprus
