5,150,000 SEK Well seemed the post on May 8th was a short term bottom. Rebound rate (% per day) is not that strong compared to previous dips. Currently OMX is ca 1650 and previous high around 1720. Apart from banks the Swedish market is looking rather expensive so switching some long term...

4,950,000 SEK Options expired today so started new positions for expiry next month. Sold OMXS30 at 1675 and bought at 1600. Otherwise quiet week.

Given the large difference in the returns by month of birth I think there is far too much scatter, not enough sample size, to read anything into this data. Of course you can always write a press article on it to fill up the space.....

That link looks OK. I would go for a little higher annual return 4 to 5% so lower bond rating but its just me. Once you get too low the behaviour becomes like stocks which is not what you want. I am in Sweden and bought these in the past...

Yeah OK good point. knowing what your doing and having a well thought out plan should give you the confidence to have bigger positions. Just seems like his building his own more expensive version of an ETF thats all.

If you are uncertain about alpha ability then you probably not doing it so i would just ETFs. Ok you dont want to use leverage, fine but it cuts down your choice of strategies. For bonds check our short term corporates. They are not the same as long term sovreign debt and behave very differently.

- Have you really checked that you have genuine stock picking abilities compared to an index? If no then just buy "cheap" index and save the extra hassle of following individual stocks. - You mention not being 100% invested at this time. I can understand that but how much do you know about...

Vix you are so very wrong about me its laughable but unlike you i dont feel need to mention my experience or degrees etc.

VIX - Are you some kind of psychic ? You are making predictions about what he would have done if the markets went down but also rather strangely you also seem to have some assumptions about what I know and do not know about trading and pyschology. You also make predictions about his wife and...

4,850,000 SEK Well almost immediately after the above post Swedbank started dropping. Press reported it due to being close to regulatory capital ratio limit which will hinder future growth. Bought ca 1 M SEK of unleveraged stock. Started buying long options this morning after market behaviour...

You cant say its too risky without knowing his logic, plans if lost money, financial situation, working wife etc. April 2009 SP500 was ca 900 and after the big spike down then rebound earlier that year. May just have been dumb luck but that timing with economy starting to improve and after the...

Disagree completely with the above. I did something similar. I could have paid cash for house a few years ago but given the low stock valuations at that time, high yield dividends (5%ish) and low interest rate on mortgage (1% ish) it looked a great opportunity to buy stocks and take mortgage...

With a broad index like SP500, FTSE100, DAX etc that has historically been a good strategy. However, many people cannot hold on regardless of drawdown. They sell in panic or took on took much leverage and become forced sellers. Give me lots of money and I can lose it quickly for you buying...

Seems this could turn out to be fairly accurate and if anything too conservative on the dow.

By luck or skill hes made some good moves so far, borrow money so you have a reasonable size account and go big in the middle of a bull market. If hes lucky he may figure out how to keep some of it whilst the bull market lasts.

5,180,000 SEK Another big week for reporting of Swedish companies. Banks doing well so far easily beating estimates. Hope the Greeks or Fed raising rates causes a mini panic and buying opportunity. Otherwise not much to do apart from enjoying the spring weather. Account is very simple right...

If you trade long enough and are successful the fees can be multiples of the seed but so what if its a small percent of each transaction? If i turned 1000 usd into 100000 usd would i really give a XXXX that i spent 2000 usd in fees? not me. JK - your on ignore for stupidity.

Is marketsurfer only making us aware of his correct predictions ? I wonder what else has marketsurfer predicted over the years.

That is so true. I do not purposely daytrade but I have spent a lot of time looking at the screen and spotted a few situations to place daytrades. For a daytrader my win days % would be great but then I only do it perhaps one a month if the ideal setup arises. If not I give it a miss. Maybe its...

5,100,000 SEK Start of earnings season in Sweden. First big bank SEB reported great earnings. Using last quarter PE is <12 and dividend 4.5%. Just been buying and selling the small market moves up and down.
