    Why Not Use Margin?

    By dividing your account into 10ths for each position, and assuming that you are holding a "full load," every one of your 10 positions would have to gap down 50% in order for your entire account to lose 50% in one day. What event would cause 10 positions of liquid stocks to gap down 50% all...

    Why Not Use Margin?

    Ok, maybe it would be smarter to stop trading at the maintence margin %, or a little before it, rather than 50% as to avoid margin calls.

    Why Not Use Margin?

    Not really trying to get people to dissaude me. I just want a better understanding of it. The reason the issue came up is that my mother actually agreed to do the deal I posted originally (except it was 8k). I got to thinking that using margin is essentially the same thing, only I would have...

    Why Not Use Margin?

    My 10K scenario was an analogy for margin. There's no actual person. Using 2/1 margin and stopping at 50% loss is the equivalent of that deal...or so I'm thinking. Where am I wrong?

    Why Not Use Margin?

    I always hear don't trade with money that's not yours etc. But, if you're using 2/1 margin, you're really not touching the borrowed money unless your losses exceed 50%, right? It's like this-- you have 10K in trading capital. You make a deal with someone to give you another 10K. If your...

    money equals happiness ???

    What percentage of the population would even recognize Michael Dell? Probably less than 5% I'd say. You've all heard of those surveys saying that most cannot find known countries on maps. I'd say that general ignorance would translate into relative anonymity for people like Dell.

    Early Retirement

    Ya, I read the book. Completely changed my view on money and possessions. However, I think the author exaggerated how easy it is to start and run a successful business. His constant references to his own products, such as his board games etc., made me suspicious of his motives.

    Hedge funds

    Does one really have to be that good to where you have investors beating down your door? I think it's not so much that you're a market wizard, but that your simply better than most money managers. In other words, your performance is relative to other managers, even if it's supposed to be an...
