a big question is...what types of positive things are there to report.... 1. October is over...whew! 2. Christmas is coming...SANTA! 3. GOOG is still strong... 4. Nice bonus if you work for Goldman sachs other than that.... 1. Record trade deficit 2. Record budget deficit 3. highly...

like he said depends on the product. I am an EM bond guy..but not mm, IDB (interdealer broker). As far as bonds go the top guys are the 10year...top trader not managing is probably in the 3 sticks range. Managing guys maybe a million more than that. In IDB i would say total comp for a...

yeah, i though about that... most of them sell the debt.who buys the loans? is it freddie mac? somebody has to be left holding the bag.

thanks guys..i am liking it. Move in on a few other just a bit today. I think the next move will be to look at home lenders, home improvement retailers, and banks with heavy lending departments like Washington Mutual. the banks make take another year to really get hit, and the retailers may...

maestro...Certailnly there are people like you and your partner..and always will be. sorry if i offended you..i think we may have interpreted the post differently. Is there an age limit...no. However, i read the post to be more along the lines of "if i am looking for a job with someone...

i dont know a lot of guy over 40...or any over 50 in trading. Most have gone to management. I would say starting out at 40 plus would be tough..younger guys often can take a bit more abuse.

thanks man. yeah. short 500 dhi and 500 hov from friday. up $3200 today in only a $20k account (margin)! but that just makes up for getting my head beat in last week trying to do the same thing. I think DHI is announcing on thursday??

manuipulated is a tough word....but basically, in regards to equities...yes...there are a million reasons to do it too. Most of it starts with investment banking...gotta raise the money for the stock to go public. then the underwriter has to highly rate the stock in order for it to be...

no, not waiting...i have been in since september...more or less. 80% of my portafolio right now is short homebuilders. But they are down 40% with the fundamentals of the industry still basically intact...the retacement has been mostly form the expectation that the housing boom cant continue. I...

i live in central america. I have seen the way things are run outside the US. There are sure to be good deals out there...but for liquidity...stay with the red, white and blue. also when you go international, there are lots of levels of risk that are out of your control, accounting...

any one else short the real estate guys? home bulders construction, home improvement retailers, mortages, and the like? does anyone think these guys have a chance in 2006?

Crash is relative. I do believe that Real estate related stocks will crash (meaning drop more than 50% from their highs) in 2006. As well, the inductries that are directly tied to real estate will be hurt badly (contruction supplies, equipment, RE retailers, home improvement, mortgages) I also...

if anyone can consistently get 8% per month...they should be in contact with Jack Schwagger.

can i hear a big "thank you jesus"!!! As of friday... Short 500 DHI Short 500 HOV Todays profit? $2800. And to think i was about to go flat after getting battered on these guys last week! surely after the wointer season there will be much lower sales, and maybe some of the...

Although i was stopped out last week...got back in friday...short 500 HOV and short 500 DHI...didnt have enough cash to also do TOL. last i looked...up $2800 today...whew. i cant brag...that just makes up for my loss and over trading last week in the damn things trying to catch the turn...

I am not sure excatly how to interpret your tone. I am new to this site, but the "buy, no fear, go bulls" seems pretty naive. I personally am short over half my portafolio, but long some tech and retail as to be going into the retail season. Haven't you noticed that every sector has bull and...

when you get your data...subtract 1. I am about to start hold much more long term...

only 14%.......geez..the world is going to hell!:D kidding. good work. I would have expected better overall with the ability of the hedge funds to be short...

i used to know a while back...but it has changed. I think you will find that the VAST majority is institutional. way more than 50% in any given market. for some reason 5% retail sticks in my mind for equities.

i like breakouts...pullbacks often make me vomit. If i go in heavy...i want to be making money instantly.
