I have what is probably a naive question, and there are probably problems that I'm not aware of... As a slightly different example from the original interday question, suppose there's an instrument I'd like to trade intraday because I like some of the trading characteristics. However...

I am neither a CPA nor a lawyer, so get a professional opinion before considering the following words. A sole proprietorship is not an "organized" form of business. It is simply earned income reported on Schedule C as a supplement to your individual income tax return. Organized forms of...

After the disorderly collapse of the USSR, and the chaos that followed that collapse (i.e. Afghanistan & Bin Laden), you can darn well bet one of the scariest scenarios for US foreign policy would be anything like that happening with China. Gradual evolution is much safer than revolution. A...

Regarding the psychological impact of losses when you're handling investments for friends & family, this is much more common and institutionalized than just hedge funds. It is common practice for many large retail brokerage firms to deliberately take on many new brokers with the knowledge that...

I believe the Stock Trader's Almanac may have some sort of statistical reports on the historical tendencies of the markets to react under various political transitions. Indeed, they have a 4-year cycle for publishing almanacs adjusted to which year we are in for the administration. As much...

Ditto on the free Tony Oz book last year. They put one in every attendee's registration packet. Not sure how he could then sell you on it. Also, I really liked the Shropshire (sp?) book on trading psychology in the packet. I've not yet attended any paid sessions, though tempted. Sometimes...

Does anyone on ET have any experience with the "Standing Proxy" procedure for trading Korean derivatives?

Does the decision really have to be trading vs. regular career? What about keeping a day job and trading markets that are active during different hours? The Asian & Australian markets come online in the evenings. The European markets come online early in the mornings. You don't have to trade...

01-21-04 Steve_IB> I'm not sure if you'd be eligible to get the standing proxy and trade through a Korean brokerage (?) Not that I'm challenging your statement, but I'd be interested to learn additional details about any constraints preventing me from doing this. If the constraint is...

Steve_IB> However, these products are not CFTC approved and thus we will not be able to offer them to US individuals. I guess with daily volume of 10million contracts on the KOSPI futures and options, the KSE doesn't care too much about CFTC approval?! Since this thread, there have been big...

gaj, Implicit in your reasoning is that unless people take the thread in a direction you insist, then they must not continue parts of the thread running counter to your wishes. Also implicit in your reasoning is that if someone does some good then his faults should be overlooked. However...

gaj, That's a clever bit of rhetoric, but quite irrelevant. You see, there's an "equal protection" clause in the U.S. Constitution that requires the law to be applied equally, fairly & impartially to all. That's a concept Eliot hasn't quite mastered. For instance, Eliot used kid gloves on...
