Try Houston.

Probably is going to be good for fundraising for prostate cancer research. Milken's was, not that I'm comparing the two men.

What about implementing a trend following system, but instead of buying the underlying you sell puts or put spreads? Opposite for shorts.

Tap your friends and family first.

The fixed costs and hassles of registration don't make sense if the OP is only part-time. You're going to have to pay platform and pro data fees if you go the prop route.

Computstat but it's expensive. The cheap or free sources contain data that's been revised after the fact, so systems based on the data won't work. You need point in time to "as reported" data.

Now a serious response. You'd be doing well to make 20% annual returns without leverage, so call it 600/252 trading days, so a little over $2/day.

I'll play. A lot if you lever our stake 100:1 and never make any mistakes. But that is so unlikely you might as well go to Vgas.

To work in a dangerous, gross outback mining town? Maybe for 570k I'd consider it.

BRK A or B? Trading lower to book value than it has in years.

+1 to that Mark. I'm filled in milliseconds for a spread of one or two cents, instead of being filled in seconds or minutes at a spread of an eighth or a quarter and somehow that's bad?

If you don't get any relief for offsetting long-short, you'd be better off just doing it with futures.

They exist because some investors want them. Because... 1. The underlying asset is difficult to invest in directly. 2. The underlying asset is easy to invest in, but the minimum notional amount is more than they want, i.e. Nat Gas futures. 3. The investor is limited to trading equity...
