    Old edges

    I used to do conversions on Canadian Royalty Trusts. You had to buy the high dividend paying trusts (oil, REITs, ...) and then sell a call and buy a put. This was yielding about 8% unleveraged if I remember well. I figured it out myself but later on it was featured in the book Millionaire...

    Real guess here. 3.30 is with a 10 year bonds index as reference. -0.19 is against stocks. The difference between -0.19 and -0.25 is that they did not update it the same time or dont use the same parameters (or index reference). Or 0.25 is also close to 1/3.30 = 0.30. So what is the beta...

    Are their jobs for traders?

People getting paid for doing technical analysis are brokers or analysts. I worked at a place where we use to give some biz to a broker because he was...
