I get his point, I don't get yours. You don't want hundreds of millions?

Just curious... which branch of science is your specialty? Does it help in your trading?

Why not just get rid of unions?

I have no idea. Those numbers obviously look good, though you only have one year. I've seen strategies that end up being horrible having single years where the numbers were like that. But if you banked 90% YTD - that's good for you; If you want an actual conversation about what those...

Well, based on these numbers, with a sharpe of 4 you are well on your way to a 100% return for year.

Yes to futures, but ETFs like TLT are fairly good at approximating the change in yield - I think what you are missing is the duration component: Price Return = Yield Change x Duration. So, for TLT, it's going to be approximately 1bp in yield change = approx -20bps in price change. Yes...

I agree that we should all detest "crony capitalism". But, the 'crony' part refers to the government. For a devil's advocate's argument: why should a private exchange be able to make rules as it sees fit? Why is it wrong that someone pays the extra mile for the technology and closer server? How...

Oh man... as a staunch anti-socialist, I resent the accusation that I work for the government (morganist, HELP ME!! I feel insulted), or live on government pay grade. However, if you claim that I'm a shill for the illumantis bent on achieving the One World Order - then okay, I'll take that.

So?

Woah... excuse me, but I missed this earlier.... I'll ask this in good faith: what does morganist (you) economics have to do with JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Morgan Grenfell. It's fully - I worked for one of the three above, and did serious business with the other two - and I have never...

I quoted you verbatim. You now claim you meant something else. I stand by what I said in regards to what you quoted. I'm willing to be polite and call it "crossing signals", but really, you are now talking about something different from the quote I answered. If you feel insulted, then of...

So you are claiming I'm a shill for the government? I feel insulted. Morganist, help me.

What they said was that they wanted to avoid the part where Japan withdraw stimulus too soon. See Koo (chief economist of Nomura bank)'s well known point on this matter: http://www.amazon.com/The-Holy-Grail-Macroeconomics-Recession/dp/0470823879

Maybe we are crossing signals here: you claimed that fed deny what they are doing is what japan did. My point is that the Fed publicly acknowledges that they are doing exactly the same thing.

Dude, Urban Dictionary?? Seriously?? How about we use an actual dictionary: https://www.google.com/search?q=define+crank&oq=define+crank&sugexp=chrome,mod=0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 "An eccentric person, esp. one obsessed by a particular subject or theory." As far as StarDust is concerned...

(1) In terms of StarDust, I have no idea what you guys might be discussing privately. I can't be responsible for that. I responded to a part that's publicly posted. (2) I clearly have not insulted StarDust. You claim I have. I'd like you to apologize for that. (3) Yes, I called you a...

How have I insulted the other user? Please quote where I insulted the other user. For that matter, how have I insulted you? I disagreed with another user as a matter of fact. In fact, I can back up my position, as I have with the link. I have been nothing but civil. Can you show me where...

I quoted exactly what was said. "Currently it appears that the FED is directly trying to copy the Japan model (while denying it) of buying every bond produced by government. As the canary in the coal mine, Japan soon may give one clue as to the ultimate endgame. " It doesn't have to be...

(1) I'm not sure what you are talking about in terms of qualitative easing. BoJ called it "Quantitative Easing" - don't believe me? See BoJ's own one-year retrospective in 2002: http://www.imes.boj.or.jp/english/publication/edps/2002/02-E-03.pdf ; the other guy was talking about bond...
