Interesting week all together. Disappointing that I don't get to trade tomorrow. Not a very common occurrence, but I actually finished the week flat after a very promising start. I'm not willing to post trade sheets here, but in a nutshell I had several key positions happen to go against me...

Did you actually watch the interview? She didn't ask him about Roe v Wade or abortion. She asked him if he believes in a right to privacy. That was her lead in question to speak about pro-life. It wasn't like they had been talking about abortion for 10 minutes and she asked about privacy...

A 0.5% appreciation is not huge in a currency that everyone knows has been deliberately depreciated for many years. Everyone also knows that they are deliberately allowing a controlled appreciation now. Many are of the opinion that 50% gain would barely start getting close to the natural...

Hmmmm... Don't you mean 0.5%?

+1 I'm actually impressed that he was smart enough to realize the trap and call out the interviewer. Not that I would vote for him, but anyone who thinks he couldn't hold his own in a debate is mistaken.

Also, check the Newegg price against Amazon. These units are typically pretty cheap there too.

If you are really around 1000s.f. then you shouldn't need a 70-pint unit. The 50-pint equivalent in your area (Chicago) will likely serve you better. It works similar to the way an air conditioning unit works in pulling moisture from the air. IOW, bigger isn't better. If you have an...

Don't get one from the box stores. They usually don't have a good selection, and they are very overpriced. Go to amazon, and get a really nice one with high rankings, for the same price as a cheap small box store model.

Yes nitro, the problem is your heat source. Not that it uses steam, but that it is radiant. Radiant heat is much nicer than forced air heat, but it has a downside. Forced air heat increases circulation and air exchange within the home. Cool air is brought into the house containing a low...

Made a bad trade today that cost me. Was +3% yesterday after some wonderful movement at the gap open. Wasn't paying attention end of day today and missed a couple key points. Mental breakdown I suppose. Part of it might have been a bit of mental confusion as I had multiple trades on at the...

YTD Return -- 69.86%

Mainly because I made a withdrawal for taxes that threw the numbers off. So the ending NAV - beginning NAV didn't accurately represent the gains for the period. Figured if I left it that it might confuse people. If you'd like, I will repost the snapshot with that number present.

Another slow week. There were a couple days that I didn't get any trades and it shows in the results. Less than 2% returned this week. A gain is a gain I guess. I'd post a screenshot, but for some reason the IB page won't load. I'll try again tomorrow and it should work.

Wow, can't figure out why you are getting all worked up. First, I never said investors could write checks to me and I could do anything with the money. That is a straw man and you know it is. I claimed that if a person follows the requirements of the CFTC, NFA, and SEC then they are doing...

I think you are misinterpreting me. I'm not starting a fund. Not even sure that I would be interested in it. So it isn't like I'm not interested in others experiences. I most certainly am interested. But nobody here is sharing their actual experiences. You are telling me that I am...

AFAIK, in many states if I operate a pooled fund that qualifies as a small pool(4.13(a)(2)), then I am also exempt from state regulation that would require series 65 RIA registration with the state. If I were to go the direction of block trading individual accounts, those same states might...

Hmm... According to the CFTC and NFA, "To use these exemptions, the CPO must provide to investors at the time it delivers the subscription agreement to investors a: copy of the NFA exemption letter, as filed with the NFA; and a statement that it is not required to deliver a DD or a...

This is true. But as has already been pointed out in this thread, there is a large amount of misinformation that is actually promulgated by those professionals. I should also point out that it isn't that hard to track down answers regarding which requirements you are subject to. It isn't like...

+1 But the confusion comes in that several high profile CPAs have suggested otherwise. Of course, they make about 1/3 the $ if you are setting up an exempt pool. So it is self serving to hold to that interpretation. But I agree. It isn't about interpretation really. It is about what it...

IMO, the above makes more sense in that an exempt pool might fluctuate above and below that threshold week by week, and to me it really wouldn't make sense to regulate in that manner. {edit}It does however specifically state "gross" contributions, implying that it also doesn't account for...
