    Strategy with 3 trades per year on average

    Any more details? what instrument is used, max drawdown on each trade and in general, long only or long short etc. etc. 5:1 risk reward is awesome. If the drawdown/stop loss is little per trade taken then it can induce "calm trader" mindset and i.e. you can take the trade and forget about it.

    This year’s hedge-fund shindig ‘low energy’ as industry swoons

    2-20% should be replaced with 1-10%. Better yet, incentives kick in only after a hurdle rate like in many private equity firms. To give a little booster, returns over say 15-20% can qualify for the 20% incentives.

    Why the middle class is failing

    China will keep NK on the high, in order to win points from the US on many more areas, time and again. Just like Pakistan milked US of billions in the name of fighting war on terror. It was the drone war that defeated them (temporarily?) not the Paki generals getting fat wire transfers...

    Why the middle class is failing

    China is sitting on $3 Trillion cash in its savings kitty so any tarriffs on them would not hurt much. Such tarriffs can be implemented quickly. However, seen from immigration bills recently, the Judges of US courts have hindered the executive orders, good or bad, and rendered them useless.

    Why the panic sell off?

    Instead of Russia, the US should be focusing more on taming and containing China. Guess being anti Russian is a convenient fashion in Washington to be in popular side of things.

    The race to zero in endless online brokerage-fee war already has been won

    Would it matter as to how the fills are? Zero commissions with bad fills (even .001) will make up for lots of slack given to the customers.

    Why the middle class is failing

    Middle class is failing because its jobs were given away to China in 1990s and 2000s. Trump promised to put tariffs on Chinese products but flip flopped as usual.

    Is Daytrading difficult or impossible ?

    Day trading is much more difficult as the reaction time is short and there is no luxury of after market research. Day trading is also much more draining to energy levels of both mind and body. A new breed of trading rooms have come up where they only trade couple of hours in the morning...

    Is Daytrading difficult or impossible ?

    The above mentioned professions are NOT "extremely difficult" as scores of new entrants come each year. However to be a Top Gun in any field is very difficult. Given that 95% or more mutual fund managers are NOT able to beat the S&P500, proves that investing both long and short term is "very...

    Good article, thx. Seems markets went from discretionary to quantitative and now getting back to the middle with the mix of both. It seems/probable, that soon "psychic" abilities of PMs/Stock pickers will be grown via technologies/medications and markets will complete the round cycle and go...

    Flash Crash Trader gets scammed...lost it all

    Making millions from markets each single year and then seeking 11% returns from fraudsters with glossy presentations. Does not make sense. Why did he not keep playing the markets instead of chasing offshore crooks. Oh I forgot! he wanted to save tax money and keep all for himself. He should...

    Mylan Chairman Received Compensation Totaling Nearly $100 Million in 2016

    That's too much, especially when MYL stock dropped from $55 to $35 from start to end of 2016. What the hell is this $68M for retirement benefits package? Will his medical care be coming from outside the solar system? All this when Trump's health bill sought to cut the benefits of 20 million...
