Efranco: have a fund and the worst drawdown is 14% with 35% average return per year for the last 3 years. What size fund and what do you trade. I agree with you. Look for about a 3:1 reward/risk ratio. So a 30% return should be getign about 10% drwadowns. 60% about 20% 100% ...

again at $100,000 why bother?

40%....even that is pushing it I think for a stock trading account..It's all about risk/reward..if you are making 40% what drawdowns (losses) are u living with? As another question what is reasonable % r.o.I for a fund investing say $30M? 20%,25%?

I can't quite figure out which sectors will lead this bounce (IF we have one)

I usually stick to about 4 at a time. But when I snag a big winner (and mos tof the time I have feelnig which ones are going to be the winners) I often wonder if I shouldn't have gone all in... But I guess it is painful when you are wrong (which will always happen) Cutten: What's your...

Or is it? We are told never put your eggs in one basket. Diversify. etc... It's become such a cliche. Do you ever question it? but I knew a trader who invested in one stock at a time and made millions. (he's drawdowns wre enormous but I guess if you make $2millin and give back $1million...

Really what's the point? IF, IF you are making 300% per annum well even ith $10,000 you will nbe past that $100,000 in a few years and you keep all the profits.... $100,000 isn't worth it and makes no sense at all. And..you wil lneed a fw years results..a few months means "jack"

why the heck would he want a "job"?

o...is EVERYONE a "gay trader" here? I mean day trader... Come on.

well you can't trade for shit so it's clearly for the best! go and serve burgers..

"hindsight"? Like I keep saying I shorted DRYS 2 weeks ago and traded it right! No hindsight needed...

Hi, OK day traders make $1m per day.... What about us end of day traders? Swing or a bit longer..what kind of monthly yearly returns are you making? (no mutual/Hedge Funds...) I am in the 30-40% p.a. feel I should push it a bit more.

I agree. Went short DRYS 2 weks ago and just sit tight and watch my profit :-)

your biggest problem here is recommending longs in a bear market. Why?

nice......

was that the bottom? Down massively but many stocks are green now?

01/02 was no where need this fast and severe. What we are seeig now is a complete defeat with stocks everyone is throwing in the towel.... Near the bottom.... you'd think so but like we keep saying we haven't lived through his before..

What we are seeing now (past 3 weeks) wil lbe talked about for centuries to come. We can all write about it in 30+ years time... "the great banking swindle of 2008..."

free?

Just shows if you have abig eough mouth you can get away with anything. He was callnig a bottom weks ago..that's forgotten now and he's the saviour telling everyone to sell last week! So it doesn't mater what you say in hisd position. Just keep sayign something and it'll be ok.
