    shanghai is just amazing, up 2.27% to new record high.

    But how does one buy the dips in China? The government is still not allowing foreigners/foreign banks to do business in their country. And the banks/brokers dont even want to because chinese stockmarket is corrupt and nonregulated. Buying illiquid ADRs or the index future is not for me.

    Debitism - The new capitalism

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debit Humans work because of debit in form of food, need of a house etc. Without those debits we wouldnt do anything except maybe starring at the sky 24/7.

    Living on a boat and avoiding taxes

    Steve46 You think that paying taxes is good and if we didnt pay them, we wouldnt have the nice live we have? Well, my trading capital that i saved from work is already taxed at 40%+. That is already to much. Then if i lose the rest at trading, no one refunds my account. If i generate...

    Do *you* hedge against a total *intraday* market crash?

    In 1929 and 1987 too many people were highly leveraged on the long side. All went up for 3 or more years and stops were rarely used. So when the market dipped a little, a few got margin calls - their positions were closed to sqeeze the next less leveraged into mc etc producing -20%...

    Hey IB

    BSAM Its like Car racing. 1-5 place make big bucks, 6-10 break even and 11-20 pays the winners. IB is a small unimportant part of the engine, my system is the chassis and the raceway is the market. To be in the top 5 money-making categorie requires total focus on the raceway to...
