Is that company owned by Exxon, BP or Shell?

No. You have to read Natenberg and Cottle, page-by-page.

It's "trading on inside information", not insider trading.

During a disaster scenario, there can be a perception that the FED will ease 25, 50 or maybe even 100 basis points. You'll have weak-handed shorts wanting to get out too.

(1) Regarding the "cash settlement" of the S&P-500 contracts, the clearing house credits the remaining profitable position holders via the realized and unrealized losses from the losing position holders. (2) Regarding the real estate contracts, one way to "protect" yourself is to have a wide...

(1) Be on the lookout for "initiating" activity. (2) Look at the CBOT website for other profile-related info.

In your heart of hearts, you just know that if these geniuses formed a hedge fund, it would either be the next "LTCM" or correlate 100% to the S&P-500.

Your results may appear to be good because you used a "biased-optimal" time interval, i.e. the period you tested was very "trendy and friendly" to your method. You'll probably have different results if you test the mid & late 1980's and 1990's.

PABST----You deserve a "blue ribbon". I've only been preoccupied with the front month of the natural gas contract. I wasn't aware of what's going on in the winter months. "It" might have something to do with contract specifications, delivery quirks, weather models or who knows what. I wonder if...

Do the trade-clerk thing. Being a rookie broker without hardcore sales experience is a very hard and grueling road to take. Don't do it. With today's telephone technology, you'll only be able to talk to elderly people and people who don't speak English as a primary language.
