Good post, there are so many ways make it in this game and some time it is best to challenge your convictions. 1:1 or .XX:1 r/r ratios can be very profitable when you can manage the win rates. Also higher frequency trades are more approprate for lower R:R ratios.

You need to let people know what type of trading you intend to do, and what markets to get an answer.

The only problem in the derivatives market is the counterparty risk uninformed people throwing around notional $ amounts are not educated enough to talk about the subject. Many of these contracts have set payments based on a differential so they are marked to market on a regular basis. Pabst is...

Maybe you should worry about deflation.

Yeah you got to like Art the others are tools. To the original poster let us know when the fade says not to own financials. The sad thing is that the guys who have been saying time to buy for the last 9 months have far out numbered the ones who said time to sell and the guys that get the most...

This is actually something that may cause inflation due to shortages. Agents and importers are unable to get credit to ship goods so it is sending the shipping rates way down. The inflationary part for us is any commodity that is heavily imported may come in short supply soon.

Thanks for the laugh. :D

Sounds like a Cramer play recommending getting long Blockbuster (a F'ed company)because of some weak circumstantial evidence. Watch for it.

For the names he mentioned that is just talking his book, if he likes them he is all ready positioned. He has also liked the curve steepner since the last quarter of '07 so he is once again talking his book. Although I have alot of respect for the guy I would not go by anything he says on CNBC...

TA-25 now down about 3.8% almost came back all the way. Don't know if it is still trading. http://www.tase.co.il/TASEEng/MarketData/Indices/MarketCap/IndexMainDataMarket.htm?Action=1&IndexID=142

It is a bit of both, things are really bad but for long term investments now is a good time look at making purchases. I do not think things will turn around very quickly here with out massive inflation which may or may not occur.

If you bought these stocks in equal amounts on the open you would of had a return of 10.464% on the day(Yahoo finance). How did your picks do using the same open-close criteria? Of course this does not mean that this is anything more then a bounce but it is interesting to see.

Made first long term buy this morning 10 minutes after the open.

Just ran a screen and came up with these ASH IR MOT AMR. Need to look into them more and confirm they have the high cash levels picked up in the screen and the book values are not a lot of intangibles.

Why? I thought we would rally into the close today. Why? I don't know I just thought we would and then I gave up 80% of my month.... :mad:

Thats good to hear. I like the Epic but I know nothing about planes. And yes I am in a bad mood today, sorry to take it out on you but I am sick of all these gold bugs and end of the world types on the Internet. And no the bad mood is not from losing today I actually had a good day. Peace..
