    Is TLT (20 yr bond index) self hedging?

    Bonds weren't flat, the futures were down 1-17 or 1.22%. Its a long term bond fund, it is a good diversifer if you only own stocks... but diversifing your portfolio into something that is at 30 year highs and has close to the lowest yield in history is probably not a good idea, just ask Bill...

    Is TLT (20 yr bond index) self hedging?

    TLT is not "self hedging." Look how volatile it has been in the past two years and yields on the 30yr bond have fluctuated between 3 and 5%. You will lose your shirt in TLT if long term yields go up to 15%. Think of it like this: a $50 stock pays a $2.5 dividend every year. The stock has a 5%...

    The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families

    Presidential Executive Order 11,110 is quite infamous among conspiracy buffs.

    The Federal Reserve Cartel: The Eight Families

    United States Notes (as opposed to Federal Reserve notes) were issued by the Treasury until 1971, when the United States went off the gold standard and floated its currency. So there goes that theory. 5yr

    Futures Contract Risk Exposure

    In your example, the S&P is $50 per point and is trading at 1000... the contract is worth $50,000... so that is your total risk. If you buy 2 contracts at 1000 in your $20,000 account, your total risk is $100,000 so you are leveraged 5 to 1. 5yr Edit: If the initial margin is $4000, and...

    CIA Officials Admit To Faking Bin Laden Video

    Osama was buried at sea so his grave wouldn't become a shrine to his supporters, it makes him easily forgotten when there isn't a physical place to visit. Same goes with Hitler, no one wants Hitlers grave to be visited so the Russians took his body and buried it in a mass grave, despite all the...

    CTA's experiences using introducing brokers.
