Does Quadriga trade corporate bonds? I thought they were only managed futures. Or are they saying the degrading of GM and Ford affected their futures positions? Aaron Schindler Schindler Trading

Thanks for the heads-up, Copernicus! I caught the interview (it was a phone interview with Baha in Monaco) and thought Baha did a good job. In short, he was asked about the current drawdown, if there have been mass redemptions, and Quadriga's high fees. To paraphrase his answers, they...

Here's the post about the Barton Biggs book: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=744125#post744125 Aaron Schindler Schindler Trading

I hope you're right, OddTrader. It'll also help if 2005 is a good, solidly profitable year. 2003 and 2004 were only up single digits and 2005 is approximately flat so far. I've also reduced the leverage in the Schindler Trading program by half as of mid-April also. I think the future...

Thanks, OddTrader! Now if Schindler Trading only had a couple billion under management (instead of just a couple milllion) I'd be able to buy some fancy artwork for my walls like those New York hedge fund managers. :D Did you see the article about hedge fund managers driving up the...

There are other hedge fund traders on ET that choose to remain anonymous. And they pretty much need to be anonymous. Both mutual fund and hedge fund employees probably won't have permission from the company officers and their compliance department to make public statements which may be...

Article about GM options and how synthetic stock is selling at a 5% discount to GM shares on page C4 of today's Wall Street Journal. Thanks to Rearden Metal you heard it on ET first! Aaron Schindler Schindler Trading

Ah, thanks, ssternlight. I wouldn't think any exercises would happen until after the dividend. Has GM announced a record date for the dividend? Don't most companies announce it like a month in advance? I see that GM has historically paid a dividend with a record date somewhere between May...

If you short the stock you'll have to pay the dividend, don't forget. And I don't think you collect a dividend by holding the SSF. Personally, I was long before the tender. Sold yesterday and then got short and wrote covered puts against my short. Basically I have the conversion on without...

Do you have Tradestation installed on this computer? Aaron Schindler Schindler Trading

Just reply, "Yeah, a lot of people lose money trading. And it's a good thing, too! That's who I get the money from to pay the bills." Aaron Schindler Schindler Trading

I'm surprised to see so many prop traders. I didn't realize is was such a large community. Do most prop traders trade from trading arcades with other traders? I know Bright Trading has a "remote" option for stay at home traders. Are stay at home traders still a minority of prop traders...

Crashes in managed futures returns are highly unlikely. Individual funds and even strategies can do horribly, but as an industry overall, it's got to be pretty stable. For futures, for every contract that is held long, someone else holds a short contract position. If the underlying price...
