You are legally entitled to many rights as a minority stockholder. Just that you are not aware of them.

It was not that many years since the equity in China and Russia got wiped out. Pretty misleading to pick one of the many index in the world to demonstrate your point and talk as if it was a sure thing. Of cause, the whole point of investing is to take risk, otherwise you would be earning the...

Because the market can drop 50% so buy and hold is wrong. Funny logic.

This is false dilemma as you have plenty of countries to choose from.

Carry of the underlying bond is priced in the future contract. If the future is too cheap or expensive you can profit, look up basis trading.

Funny how if EU and China doing it, then it is fine. When the US do it then it is starting a trade war.

code for HSI is HSI? I have the index in my watch list.

Yes I am aware of that, thanks.

Thanks for answering. I am retail (obviously) so it is pretty much not possible to get the swap rate. I am currently holding the stock and funding via 3 month SPX box. Perhaps I should just keep it this way?

Thanks for answering. Currently I do my funding selling SPX boxes, I am looking at this possibility and see if I can save some money. Not sure which option is cheaper. Yes I long leveraged 2x as the portfolio is still small and I expect to contribute like 20% of the liquidation value per year.

let's say I want to hold onto something like BRK.B for some years. Would it be a good idea to make a synthetic forward by longing call and shorting put two years out? What is the implied interest going to be like and how many MM out there making the market? Which strike should I pick if I want...

My gut feeling is that buying calls on equity indexes have positive expected value and buying puts have negative expected value. With 0 ev defined as breaking even on the trade.

I suppose these rates are for physical delivery.

Whatever coin you name is just like penny stock pump and dump and you can say it is not really ponzi. - The penny stock deliver as promised: A share of said company. - Market manipulated to keep up with the price. - Shareholder have incentive to hype said stock. - Rely on new money for old...

Religions. And not billions, trillions.

The thing is you can only get what you have saved. When you only put in little money you can't expect to suddenly withdraw huge amount. Here is a revised calculation with 1.5% dividend assumed and reinvested, also saving rate reduced to 15% and contribution curve smoothed. (I don't have...

The premise behind this philosophy is very simple. Company make profits. Of cause not all of them will be profitable, but as a whole they are making profits. You are too focused on the valuation when Buffett is focusing on acquiring cash flow. If you looked at the dividend history of S&P500 even...

S&P 500 is ok as diversification because it's performance does not suck. It is totally different from "diworsification" in which you add uncorrelated investments with dubious returns. I mean, you can't even be sure the fund is +ev, if they earn 0 after fee over 4 years then actually you lose...

Probably they just seized his computer and looked at the browsing history.

I am sure his goal aren't maximize value of his portfolio so talks about the Kelly are moot. Why all-in and not play it safe? If all rich guys nit up and "play safe" the country will be hopeless. Some of the guys are here to shape the world, and will not stop taking risk because they have...
