swing trading equities allows for you to capture the natural updraft so that is a little bit of a tailwind.

if you replaced Harris with Trump the same story was written for the last 5 years: except one was the chief executive who hired the best people and the other largely a ceremonial position.

The trade war has clearly crippled China.

yeah. I believe eventually your return will be cut by 1/2 or more. But capitalize on the opportunities until then.

2.6x leverage means 1.3ish percent unlevered. That’s not unreasonable.

im coming to the same conclusion on the macro hedging.

why do you say that?

obviously it's not risk free. It was explained above why. Inflation has nothing to do with it.

Don’t worry. None of your posts in the last 48 hours have had any value worth remembering. And some of your content is downright wrong

so that’s your risk and your reward. You studying other people’s stops to figure out how to exploit them, is your trading strategy.

??? what is a stop vs your exit if not a risk/reward

your post stated that because you day trade you don’t have an opinion on risk. Price doesn’t care about risk but your parameters of stops and exit definitely do.

you don’t do any risk management with your day trading? you don’t take into account risk reward? Your parameters don’t take into account risk?

Kidnappings in developing countries are a totally different thing. Same with historical times. the 4th 911 plane guys (“let’s roll”) called it right. Most hijackings end up largely okay. (As okay as a hijacking can end). Anyhow this is not a clear and cut answer and I’m not surprised we have...

kidnappings of men for ransom in 1st world countries? The only other story I have heard of this happening was Eddie Lampert and they let him walk away. (He went to the police got them arrested and then proceeded to destroy Sears :)) Kidnapping of women on the other hand does not end well.

the hard part is that they are pointing a gun at you; you have to make the call are they prepared to shoot you. And their decision might change based on your behavior.

My experience is that its hard to run more than that on trades like this. You have two significant risks that are almost unhedgable: 1. Having the rare idiosyncratic risk that all your stocks gap down or up at once. 2. Having a correlated blow up where all stocks go down. This is kind of...

I also manage a pretty large trading account my own. And before the manufacturing firm, I managed a nine figure prop book for an investment bank. I also have been trading professionally and "on the side" for 20 years.

Further a concerted effort to manage inflation has probably led to more economic growth than any other policy decision in the last 70 years. How annoying is it right now not knowing what the price of anything you want to do is?
