The ironic thing here is that Romney is perhaps the most squeaky clean candidate that we have seen in our lifetimes. You are again suggesting that the better man for the job might actually lose simply because of scare tactics and ignorance. Is that really the preferred outcome?

My contention was that most people don't care about any of it. But I'm a bit more concerned about you specifically. The context of your posts suggests that you personally believe that he is disqualified on similar grounds. If that's your stance, I would like to hear an explanation as to how...

So by that logic you are arguing that prudent management of his own affairs actually disqualifies him from the presidency.:confused:

For some reason you seem to be intent on ignoring my main point. Someone like me doesn't have to find excuses. I'm familiar enough with corporate law that after the first two sentences of the OP article I know something isn't right. I'll say it again. If a designated manager or CEO has...

Sure, I say they don't care about any of it unless they are already ardent Obama supporters. But all of that was really a side note on how nonsensical all of this really is. The real point is that the fact that Mitt was listed as "managing member" has nothing to do with him still managing...

I don't really care about whether Mitt retired from Bain or not. Neither does the vast majority of America, and certainly none of those on the right. The reason for this is that whether certain companies bankrupted under his supervision is really meaningless. Firms like Bain target...

Yes, I believe he is wanting to be able to specify the nominal balance so that when a report is generated it will reflect the notional funds. When fees are billed automatically, they would reflect the notional balance as well.

It is a lot simpler than you are making it. When a client opts for notional funding, you simply agree with her (in writing) on what the nominal level will be. That level does not change until there is another agreement in writing. It doesn't matter what happens with PnL. The nominal level...

I'm not saying that they don't offer several different options for allocation. The mechanics of execution are all messed up. Ask them what happens to your manual trade allocation (you referred to it as named volume sizes) on a partial fill. Example... You have 10 sub accounts. We'll...

I agree that they "should" be able to do it, but they don't currently. In fact, IB is very awkward in this area for CTAs. Specifically, their allocation and execution methods are not as good as their competitors. The way the platform handles partial fills is particularly awful. I've tried to...

Not to be a jerk here, but I should note that anyone who doesn't already know what was in my previous post, shouldn't be trading notional funds in discretionary accounts. It is something you should become familiar with, but until you completely know what you are talking about, and the...

Performance on a notional account is not for IB to calculate. That is purely the job of the fund admin. With regard to IB, the only difference notional funding makes is in determining what the management fees should be, as these are charged on the nominal account value which includes notional...

Something else.

No. I don't see any reason why anyone would need to follow in real-time for an extended period unless they are trying to copy trades. That was just to give them a little feel for the program.

The only real protection against free-loaders in this example is to form a CPO instead of a CPA. When it really comes down to it though, you shouldn't be accepting every client who wants to participate. I have a direct relationship with every client. I know what type of person or...

I would argue that insurance exacerbates the core problem, it doesn't fix it. In fact it will likely just make it worse in the real world. If people really want to fix the problem, they have to fix the pricing mechanism in health care. Insurance destroys the stable pricing mechanism, so...

That's not the point. You said they don't have health care. I said they simply don't have health insurance, but do in fact still have health care. I just wish people would quit saying that 50MM people don't have health care. Nothing could be further from the truth. In reality, 50MM people...

GO to the emergency room and tell them you don't have insurance and see what happens. You think they'll turn you away?

This is not an accurate statement and it is the only thing about the debate that bothers me. 50MM people ARE NOT without health care in this country. 50MM people are without health insurance. There is a HUGE difference, and it distorts the entire argument.

Non-Circ = non-circumvent It precisely deals with part of the issue you are talking about. They sign a legal contract stating that they won't attempt to circumvent my program by running $20MM in their own account, and $1MM with me. Or, using my trades as indicators to run their own program...
