    Barclay CTA Index gains 1.59 per cent in June

    What is noteworthy about this performance? LOTS of things were up big. The Nasdaq QQQs were up 12.5% during the same period.

    Fund of Exchange Traded Funds

    Sort of. But instead of having to choose from hundreds of stock issues, you need to track maybe 30 ETFs... the major index ones, sectors, and a couple of international.

    No, just on group/issue relative performance. Nothing needs to be "equal". No need to complicate things. Just be able to rank performance since _______ (pick date). KISS, as always.

    Because there is BIG benefit to be concentrated in top performers when they're going up and to be in the "least bad" when things are going down.

    Does anyone really think the Fed will cut 50 basis points in July?

    Historically the Fed hasn't begun easing cycles with a .50 cut. Perhaps this time, as usual, they begin with .25 cut... and the market throws a hissy fit and tanks because "it wasn't .50"?? The market may not whine and pout if not .50 but Trump surely will. Trump says, "the biggest problem...

    Fund of Exchange Traded Funds

    If you're going to hold "for the long term", an approach that makes sense to me.... Divide your capital into 4 tranches. Do relative strength analysis on your "world" of available ETFs and allocate each tranche to one of the choices which is in the top 10 of your relative strength work...

    "Good investment thesis"? Can be... depending upon the asset allocation and market timing skills of those in charge.

    Waaaay Too Much Press for AOC and Omar....

    Somebody is paying to get her mug on the tube almost daily. She gets waaay more ink/air time than Pelosi or any of the other Lefty/Commie/DemoCrap big wigs. (And just how much water do her political views carry anyway? Is she a deep thinker and worthy of our attention... or is she just a...

    It is worth to pay $125-per month for DasTrader having a small account?

    My only experience with it was that it would not run on my 3-monitor array. (Worked OK, though, when run on a single monitor.)

    It is worth to pay $125-per month for DasTrader having a small account?

    Depends what you trade, but Fidelity, for one.... zero platform cost, $4.95/trade. In futures, AMP has Sierra Chart for zero platform... and then there's Rithmic.

    Americans Rally Behind Trump As He Tells America Haters They “Can’t Leave Fast Enough”

    Like the muslim illegals say... "WE HATE YOU AMERICANS, AND WILL KILL YOU THE FIRST CHANCE WE GET.... but we love your money". :(

    It is worth to pay $125-per month for DasTrader having a small account?

    1. A high platform cost vs. your capital is almost a certain recipe for disaster. 2. The platform doesn't make success... it's all about the trader. 3. There are lots of platforms available, many for free or low cost... like $10-$20/mo. Check into those.

    Don't you think? They project nothing but HATE for America! (You know... America is such an evil and horrible place, the only righteous course of action is to turn us into a shithole for illegal hispanic, muslim, and african migrants.... and for white America to PAY for them to be here and...

    Pelosi-Cortez develping rift is interesting.

    Suggestion... She round up all of her buddies, charter a fleet of Boeing 737 Max planes and zip their way back to Russia. That way, they'll be happy and so will we.

    Pelosi-Cortez develping rift is interesting.

    AOC doesn't understand ANYTHING. She's a BARTENDER... picked from a casting call of 10,000 for her physical appeal and charisma... to be the mouthpiece/ventriloquist's dummy for the political group pulling here strings. She says/does what she's told to say and do.

    Hey Democrats, you created Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, now you have live with her

    We always have to remember....AOC, herself, is nothing.... just going along for the ride. She's the mouthpiece* for a political group who wants to wipe out all of Congress and replace them with "their" people. (Ambitious to say the least, but AOC is their "camel nose under the tent".) *She...
