Unfortunately there is some truth to this.

This is not a thread about politics. If you want to talk about that topic I'd appreciate if you created a thread in the politics section.

Some additional research and I'm hearing that for mainland Chinese investors to invest in US stocks, they must transfer funds to an US company and there is a 50k USD annual restriction on that. However, I'm also hearing some conflicting information on this as well. It is quite difficult not...

Thanks very much for this insight. You seem very knowledgeable.

Can citizens of the People's Republic of China directly invest in US stocks? Guy at interactive brokers says he's 100% sure that they can. However, I've heard conflicting information about this.

I wonder, is operating under a managed account structure just as useful for building a track record as operating under a fund structure? In 5 years, can I present an audited track record saying I managed X about of dollars producing Y returns under various managed accounts? And this would be...

I actually misread. It says you don't need to be a RIA unleses you are managing more than 15 accounts

In the situation of CALL, if you just read some of their recent press releases, it seems clear that this is a management orchestrated pump and dump. CEO also just sold bunch of shares after a violent pumping process. I would have shorted had not the cost of borrow been over 60% at IB.

Perhaps not stupid per se but highly dubious in most circumstances.

So I guess I must be a Registered Investment Advisor for IB's friends and Family account. So some basic reading up on this says I need to pass the series 6 or 7, or hold some various designations, including CFA. I am already at level 3 of the CFA but since I haven't studied at all for this...

Page 10. Thanks, I'll read up.

You said you don't buy my PTT was 4% when I've already said my monthly draw down was 5% and that I thought my PTT was around 8%. Anyway I completely agree that trying to verify the veracity of my claims is a meaningless process. Would greatly appreciate if we can keep the topic on the...

Thanks. I don't really consider my comments here to be part of doing busineses. Just hoping I happen across some useful information in the process.

What's your point? I'm just correcting something incorrect you stated that understates my draw down.

I believe I've already said to one poster that my peak to trough was around 8% over past year and a half

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't results audited on a monthly basis? So monthly draw down seems meaningful to me. I know peak to trough draw down is probably more meaningful but is something like that included in audited results?

Yes thats what it means.

My natural human tendency to defend myself when qattacked despite there being no apparent benefit in doing so is a weakness I will have to work on. Attached is screen of YTD gains in my main IB account of 271k. Screen shots can be edited too, I know. I expect this to be the next accusation.

all levered short ETFs will eventually decay towards zero given enough time. this does not necessily make them a bad instrument or a good short, however

I'd rather not spend too much time on this subject. Prefer to focus on extracting some useful information. Whether or not you believe I'm BSing has nothing to do with the questions I'm asking. I've already offered to wager around 5k USD that my results are real and can use a reputable third...
