The ETF decay comes mostly from the daily re-balancing. If you plan to hold the trades just a day or two it should not be too much of a factor. You can also add/subtract from your position to counteract the ETF re-balancing effect if it becomes meaningful during the course of your trade (but...

Yes. He adjusts his will 10 days before he mysteriously dies in his swimming pool, which also just happens to be days before his court date. All too convenient. I have heard it said Madoff's son was also a madoff "super-investor" like Picower. Does anyone have confirmation of this or an...

That is not 100% obvious to me. My thought was that Maddoff and Picower were inner-circle cronies. If one looks at Picower's background, he is exactly the partner one would want to help one hide billions.

I am not sure Obama should be in jail, however the fact he is president speaks very poorly of our electorate. I fear we are suffering from a massive decline in average population quality (Idiocracy). The notion that Obongo is a puppet seems accurate. He was propped up by the Chicago...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-17/picower-estate-said-to-pay-7-2-billion-in-biggest-madoff-fraud-settlement.html I did not see this happening. The "heart attack" in the swimming pool seemed all to convenient. I had figured whoever was left with with this repository of madoff loot...

What are all the people who are not capable of being highly educated do? Welfare? Eugenics program?

Mr. Global since you take the time to post perhaps you could teach us some of what you know about raising 100's of millions and finding those types of opportunities. What exactly are you raising money for and how did you connect with them.

Grade school friend of mine's father had one. He claimed with a chip and some other modifications it had over 500hp. Cool car.

the only chance of making money with this goon is in fading him. Anyone studied fading the Cramer pop?

most likely some celebrity moron, if indeed this is not a manufactured event (GM doing the bidding via a surrogate).

A beta less than zero would suggest this, however this is highly restrictive as can be seen below: http://www.google.com/finance/stockscreener#c0=MarketCap&c1=PE&c2=DividendYield&c3=Price52WeekPercChange&c4=Beta&max4=0&region=us&sector=AllSectors&sort=&sortOrder= Play around with that and...

You beat me to the punch. This is exactly what will happen.

One way to view this is as balancing exposure vs. account equity rather than as taking losses on individual trades. It makes no difference to your equity if you lose 3 times small or one time 3X the size so long as the forward expectation during the duration of each trade is the same. To a...

Thank you to all who have contributed.

I can certainly relate to that. A perfect example is the kitchen gadget mania that has been going on for 20 years. It seems I obtained most of mine as Christmas gifts. The idea always seems appealing at first. "Hey, a battery powered potato peeler!" The problem is, you do not...

Public schools as well. We have two options: Get the feds completely out of them and return all power to TAXPAYING citizens/property owners, or just shut them down completely. Those are the only valid reform options.

I will take u up on that Mr. Reardon. -I hate how big government has led to the pussification of society on almost every level. -The security state. We are supposedly fighting "them" yet the government is turning inwards and directing its focus on, "us". I hate to see Americans...

OMG that was a funny post. Your first paragraph makes it seem you will be addressing the general grievances that most people have with the government, yet you include a list of incredibly specific, personal gripes: -The ban on clove cigarettes that prevents you from having your...

That is a very good point. For the elite it is about power and ruling the little people's lives. Apparently they do not let people from rural flyover country into the Ivy league anymore. They are not wanted. Have you seen the study where when SAT scores are controlled for, any...
