Thats ok, just keep in mind that you have to gain 5.5% again to break even.

LMAO, your serious face while saying that sentence makes the joke even better. :D

You are talking about stockholder value, determining the shortsighted and ineffective measures of the last 5 years. That is passe, currently we look at longterm survivability. Whole different picture there.

The important word is "IF". The point is, you never know in advance whether the path it takes will be ideal for your setup. You get payed now for the times it takes another path and you lose. The number of times and amounts of money even out in the long run. You assume a gamma-long trade, but...

I see. And what is that song about?

Hmm, her year income is down US$3.6M in value since jan 07 because of the currencies reshuffle. That difference alone is more than most here earn. I don't think it's moaning when you bring that point up in negotiations. You're just jealous because she has the option to choose and because she...

It's the same thing. Delta hedging is an elaborate form of straddle buying/selling, just with more accurate hedge, thus also giving up more potential. I think there truly is no way to earn anything from options, however elaborate your method, without predicting direction and/or volatiliy of the...

Like you saw DOW go to 15000 before dec? Let me remind you and your followers that you lost 4000 US$ since 10/10 per YM contract. Had you gone short on 10/10 you'd have won US$4000. That is 8000 US$ in missed opportunity, per contract. You call that trading?

+1 I think the whole problem in Detroit has been that for years management could somehow convince themselves and the workers that they built the best cars in the world. In fact, that world knew better, these cars were crap to todays standard. Almost any japanese or european car is built...

You could also use 1 keyboard (via switch) and 2 mice. Depends on your setup, but most don't need a keyboard for 90% of the time. That setup works ok here. Since I use quick orderentry through the keyboard sometimes, I can't wait for the keyboard to be switched on time, so I also have a...

Great site, thanks for that. It is getting rather incredible, not only the extend in which this hollowing-out takes place, but also how they can get away with it. Apparently there is no politician able to see through this or willing to expose the fraud. "If the American people ever allow...

See what happens when he reads a post other than his own: he gets smarter immediately! :D

Summary please. What's the question?

In normal times a moderate inflation is best for ecomomic growth and thus for the controlling banks. In those periods it makes good sense to use i-rates to control the growth. It is also easily explained to the public and gives the FED a sort of dont-worry-your-gov-knows-what-its doing image...

Not to mention parts of Europa too. The Russians are playing a very smart game at energy-politics currently, and if not already, they will have Europe by the balls within a few years. Geopolitically speaking the world is redivided amongst the blocks again, but this time the USA is not needed...

Maybe they tried that but it stopped working and the $$'s went down in value. What would you do?

:p Yeah pretty outrageous hah? Well I think this board is made by it's members so the members decide. How else would you ensure that we do not deteriorate further? I'm serious, there are a few multi-alias idiots around that interfere in every thread with the same kind of nonsense. I think the...

Exactly. My feeling is oil-traders around the world are already constantly recalculating their trades in EUR's now. If denominated in EUR the prices are still rising, because of panic and of genuine shortages becoming visible, but it is a lot less than it seems seen from the US. Rest of the...

Finally you start reading some others' post. That coming from you, maybe the only person on ET who never said anything smart.

Is this why I would like n00b, sub-100 posters not to be able to start a thread? Yes, it is.
