    Commodities basket

    I already have that, but I do not want company specific risks if I can avoid it. How do I get coffee and cotton exposure and stuff also? It has to be a commodity basket. This is all jim rogers and marc faber reading.They make a ton of sense.

    Commodities basket

    Thanx, I would have to ask my lawyers if that is possible, but I am intrigued. Too bad there is no holder or exchange traded fund I can purchase. Can you redo the link. That did not work. Harris:.

    Most good advice costs money. I would definately not rely on a message board for legal advice. Take a look at http://www.greencompany.com/HedgeFunds/index.shtml There is a ton of free info there for ya. Otherwise, it may make sense to spend a few hundred dollars for a retainer and an...

    Guys, Quick question. I want to find a way to buy a diversified basket of commodities. I cannot find any ETF or exchange traded fund. Does anyone here know how I could go about buying something similar to the CRB index or Jim Rogers one? Harris:.

    I think that all those guys who said that Aaron wouldn't make it out should come up and fess up and congratulate him. That was one rough hole to climb out of.

    Don't blame him. He lost his case though. No one should get special treatment.

    Draw-Down Analysis

    Since this was directed at me, guess I'll answer. So far, I think my worst drawdown this year was about 8% or so (peak to trough). I have only had one down month of a bit over 1%. In my past, I have had drawdowns of up to 30%. Quite a few were in the 20-25% range, but I have never gone...

    Perpetual NYSE Specialist Abuse

    How would you go about doing it. My broker is IB. I have tried before and they always just say size in front or something stupid like that. Is there a way to really do it myself?

    Perpetual NYSE Specialist Abuse

    I don't mind giving up the spread and then some. I swing a big stick and i need liquidity over price. I bet a lot of guys love me for sweeping their limit orders. When I am working small size, of course I use limit orders to get the best price to the penny and I get improvements all the...

    Perpetual NYSE Specialist Abuse

    I think you guys are just bitching about nothing. If you are scalping dimes, yes you get screwed. It happens. Who cares. Look at the bigger picture. I personally made $40,000 today trading a few listed stocks. I entered 5-25k market orders. My slippage was 5-25c at a time. On average, it was...

    Where to "Park" a decent sum of cash?

    Why not buy some Berkshire. It kinda looks cheap to me as it has not moved much in years and book value has continued to climb. I think that the problems in their reinsurance and derivatives has finally been solved (or close). I think that book value can climb at 10-15% a year and the stock...

    Where to "Park" a decent sum of cash?

    Alfonso- I have some friends whom I know well. I think that while they are not "safe" (what really is, no matter what inflation and taxes ding you) on a risk - return basis, you can do well by them. I know their styles and I think they are very strong. If making 5% a month with 2 down months...
