There are a lot of hedge funds out there, some do good arbitrage stuff for 2-3% a month pretty consistently. I would put it into a few of those. Spread it out.

Thanx for the kind words. I am seriously thinking of going. No better way to have a great time in an awesome city with my GF and get a writeoff. PM me sometime closer to the date and I will know for sure.

Surf- Sorry you couldn't make it. I am unfortunately leaving on a jet plane tomorrow or I'd definately go. Lets do something at that Vegas traders expo.

Thanx for the post. I am midway through adventure capitalist. Investment biker was awesome.

Thank you DEF and Vulture. Def- Is there any way I can calculate this on the API?

I am sure they work fine. I just wanted to know what the req's are. I wrote about 4500 in premiums and it is eating up over 100k in bp I think. I wanted to know why or which positions out of those are the ones eating most of the BP.

Hey, I tried to contact IB about this, and their response to me was that they do not explain their own margin policies. (Even though my question was about not understanding their policy). Anyway, I have 2 questions. Yesterday I wrote 3 SEPT 1040C SPX option contracts. I received $350...

I had a great time last night. Certainly met a lot of very interesting guys, and learned a few things. These are always fun. Everyone has a different view on things, and you can always learn from those who know way more than you. Thanx for comming out guys. Lets do this again around Xmass...

Yep, It is tonight at the soho grand. I am leaving in about 15 mins for the train station. As per props. You can get lower commish rates at IB (I use IB). In fact, rates are often about half that of most props unless you do a ton of volume. The only reason to go prop is if...

Gold = En Fuego today

You can come if you want. Do not go prop... LoL. I do not know any serious traders who are prop. Just so you know, the thing is tonight, 8/11.

Someone always doubts me, so here's the quote. http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=250015&highlight=gold#post250015 I haven't been right on all if it yet though.

Well, as a guy who bought most of his NEM at 25, I can say that this sure has been fun. At the same time, I have slowly been cycling out of the bigger producers and into the more small (micro) cap gold stocks. If the cost of production is under 300 oz. I want nothing to do with it. I really want...

Hey all. Just wanted to post again so that this is an active thread for those who haven't seen it yet. If anyone has any questions, please call my cell at (504)231-3714. I will be there a few minutes early so I can tell the hostess to send all the ET guys my way. I hope to see you...

Sweet!!! Looks like a crowd. Everyone is invited who wants to come. Dress code is just kinda like clubby I guess. Maybe someone can elaborate. Just pants and a nice shirt is fine I think. It is a bit trendy there.

Follow the crowd of women... LOL Seriously though, I'll tell the hostess that we are from ET and to direct other ET people to our table. You will just need to tell her you are from ET. Sound good?

I will definately be there. The more the merrier. I always learn something new every time I meet other traders. I think it is well worth attending. I am buying first round for anyone who shows.

Sorry to hear that. I am having a pretty good year, nothing special, but good enough. You gonna come on down? I had a great time last year.

Doh, I just got back from there. Was at old Forge for a week. Rained every day but one. My advice to you is to watch the bugs. Holy crap.

I never know either. Last time, Seth showed up and so did Dan. Be nice to get a few more guys out this time.
