You mean "some control", right? :D

Enigma is good when nerves need to be calmed down... :)

it looks like I'm not the only one making mistakes when entering orders :D. When exactly did the program start?

Yes. Individual stocks (sometimes hedging with ETFs).

I know it was, although, having seen a multitude of your other posts, something tells me you wouldn't mind that outcome too much... :)

If you did ever achieve anything remotely close to this, that'd be a real waste of resources. I think only the ones whose objectives are to better the lives of others will ever accomplish anything worthy. Vanity ain't gonna get you far. Keep dreaming. I personally only want a nice Lumborgini...

I thought so too. I think I might make my students watch it next time I teach investments... I know what you all must be thinking: "Yeah, another academician plugging the whole buy and hold thing." To an extent maybe. He did have a number of very useful insights though that at least...

Nothing :D He's a pretty famous academic researcher and I think he was speaking to a bunch of investors just presenting his research. I think you might find the second half a bit more interesting... But no he's not selling anything, so no credibility issue there :)

take a look at this, quite interesting... http://video.haas.berkeley.edu:24874/ramgen/media-services/Odean.rm

You description of the possible self-fulfilling prophecy effects of large scale momentum investing is correct. However, I don't quite see how it's related to index investing. Index funds are not trying to beat the index by following some strategy (e.g. the momentum strategy you are referring...

I wouldn't go as far as to say that. In fact, one of the explanations for the well-known and barely explained equity premium puzzle is the embedded probability of something really bad happening that people are afraid of. So in fact, just by looking at the historical valuation of stocks it...

Thanks man! Glad to be in for the ride :) I was just curious what was behind it. The news sources that tradestation has are often a bit lacking. Can you recommend good news sources? Thanks again and good trading to ya! V. PS The ruling will probably be overturned (with all the lobbying...

What time was the release made public? Can you please post the whole thing? I don't have real time access to DJ Newswires. Thanks again.

Anyone???

Weird. I'm mostly into contrarian stuff and it seemed obvious they'd be a small reversal... Are you sure you are not confusing contrarian and momentum??? :D

You know, this is funny. I had a feeling the kid was kinda gayish ever since his early posts. It's just in his posting style. But I decided to be politically correct and keep the observation to myself. That website speaks for itself though :D

Any idea what might have caused the rise in EP that took place starting around 11am? Is that based on some rumour/info or just some bottom fishing by large institutions??? Thanks.

Oh, COME ON, dude!!! Will you give everyone a break??? You keep reminding me of all those morons on Fear Factor who pound themselves on the chest in the interviews about how freaking cool they are and how there are gonna win it all etc only to freaking make a mockery of themselves in the first...

Thanks for the clarification :) I wasn't aware of that, the legal parlance sometimes seems nebulous to me and gets me confused :) It seems to make sense now. By the way, just wanted to thank you ET guys for helping me out when I was just starting, getting set up etc.

Honestly, I'm pretty ignorant on that legal issue myself. What I do know is that a hedge fund is much more costly and unwieldy to organize, operate, discontinue, if need be. Especially if you are just starting on a relatively small scale to test smth and then scale up if things go well...
