Question is why is he only a tutor and not a professor, scientist, economist, etc? Maybe he is a wiz at computing numbers and memorizing, but it doesn't look like he is exploiting his talent in creative ways. -Neo

WOTM = Way out of the money. There is a reason the options with strikes that are far out trade so cheap... there is little probability that they will reach those prices, unless you have events like we have had over the last couple of days :-) -Neo

#1 Buying WOTM options just because they are cheap. -Neo

My guess is that every dentist, lawyer, and grandmother is trying to logon and sell their portfolio, which would explain the slow response of the system. -Neo

Putin is the same wolf in new sheep's clothing. When will Russians understand that their government never has their best interests in mind? Whether it be oligarchs or ex-KGB wanna be dictators, its all the same shit. When the communist revolution happened it got better for a little while too...

Spectre2007, This sort of game would sell well in Asia, but probably not in the US. There are all sorts of SIMS in Asia that sell well, but never made a good transition to the US market, for example, Truck driving simulations, surgery simulations, dating simluations, and I think there was a...

First get the Schweser study books, as it is useless reading all the recommended readings from the CFA Insitute. There are about 6 study books in total and they cover everything on the exam, try to finish at the very least 1 book a month. Don't forget to buy the ethics guide from the CFA...

You will first have to determine where you want to incorporate your hedge fund. If you will only be taking capital from non-USA investors then you are better off incorporating in the Cayman Islands or one of the other Caribbean islands, however if you want investors from the US, then it would be...

What do you mean "registered fund"? Do you mean a fund registered with the SEC (which is optional). Maybe you mean a mutual fund registered in the Cayman Islands/British Virgin Island, these trade excempt from US Taxes (most common form of offshore hedgefund). Or pehaps you just want to...

I've been watching the CBOT corn too. I hope that today's action had some volume behind it, otherwise it might be a trap. Over the last couple of days it was looking like corn was topping off and ready to head downwards. With all this talk of alternative fuels I'm wondering how gas prices are...

I would agree with you, but I've done some more digging since my initial post and it appears that some of the old Enron guard are fond of fib levels too. I haven't had a chance to talk with any of them to determine if they use them to make trading decisions, but they are definitely looking at...

Only profit centers get sweet bonuses, ops is a cost center... therefore "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" j/k -Neo

You sold the stock short. In other words you borrowed the stock from your broker, sold it, rebought it, and gave it back to your broker. Your gain is due to buying it back for a lower price. -Neo

You may have made some money in your mutual fund and indeed there are some good ones out there, however the performance of good hedge funds vs good mutual funds is way better for HFs and with less correlation to the market. -Neo

Yes, many Hedge Funds need audited financials from the investor. -Neo

Just when you thought you had enough money to invest in a hedge fund the SEC raises the bar. Once again the not so rich guy is left to invest in crappy mutual funds. Class Discrimination or investor protection, you make the call! I, for one, am sick of the gov't making decisions for me. -Neo...

Thanks for the info. -Neo

Hmm, judging by the activity in the March contract I guess the rollover happened already. -Neo

Does anyone know what is the usual rollover time for the december corn contract to the next trading contract? At what usual time does the volume move from one contract to the other? Thanks, -Neo

I think you miss-judge the number of investors who invest in FOFs just to diversify risk in their portfolio's. Not all investors are looking to maximize returns. Many are just trying to reduce the unit of risk per unit of return. A stellar performing fund might have great returns, but they might...
