Yeah, I understand that they are done deals, but I don't think they should reflect the expected price at maturity... Why wouldn't someone take a position in both the future and the stock, wait until maturity (or when the prices converge), and pocket the spread?

I'm looking at FAS. Take a look at OneChicago for the stock future prices.

I'm sure there is a really obvious answer to this, but I couldn't find it... Anyway, I was looking at a few stock futures today, and noticed something a little odd... the stock future's price was quite a bit off of the actual stocks price. This specific stock is an ETF (no dividends), so what...

Didn't get around to posting last week (got stopped out and was flat on Friday), but took a good hit - about -$200 I'd say. Today +$155.36

-97.52 owned.

-31.54 worst underperformance I've had in a while....

+93.74

My first time doing this but I think it would be good to post up my results. For the record, I am strictly a swing trader and do not day trade (unless I really screw up and my stop is hit). Wasn't too happy today, considering my positions were lagging the rest of the market. Tomorrow is...

would like to know this as well (my data feed updates every ~10 seconds). Especially on a day like today (with some insane swings), it would be nice to see it in a higher frequency.

definitely more than $1 billion. Simons has said that the funds trading strategy could handle upto $100 billion... His returns are insane (in 2008 WELL over 100% before fees) with very small equity retracements (giving the funds insane sharpe ratios as well). I know a few fund managers off...

Whats going on over at Coors? Take a look at a YTD daily chart.... it doesn't look pretty. The beer industry is fairly insensitive to overall market movements (fairly low beta), yet I think they've had maybe 13 positive (most of the time barely) days this entire year.... I took a quick look at...

Yes, records of their year-over-year returns are private so it will be very difficult if not impossible to get them. But, he certainly has not lost his touch (he made ~$750m in 2006 alone).

This is further proof that you are actually a moron. If you were really such a great trader, you wouldn't need (or care) to make posts on an internet message board claiming your superiority. "Maths never lie, but people do" Exactly, and you are lying.

Yeah, you're right, he never made those returns. His multi-billion dollar net worth is mostly fake monopoly money.

Paul has never had a down year. Ever. Unfortunately, it seems that may change this year. Anyway, no, he did not return 100% every year since he founded Tudor, but he has an exceptional track record. Regardless of how this year ends up, I still think he is one of the greatest traders to ever...

That is an unbelievably stupid comment... it's one of the largest hedge funds on this planet. Although this may not be their best year ever, they will still outperform most of their competition. Like someone already said, most traders would kill for a job there. Good luck.

That premium is pretty high, but the fear and lack of confidence right now is absurd as well. Looking at the open interest, there are far more put contracts being written at strikes below its current trading price (~100) than call contracts. It seems there is a drop off in open interest at the...

I don't know where to look for the prices of the preferred shares and common shares of VW, but wouldn't the preferred shares trade higher than the common? If so, why would they be long the preferred and short the common? And how would this be a bet that they would converge, isn't it the...
