Predictions without expiration dates are useless.

Brown or brownie? I'll take the latter.

Funny you should mention this... the big boys want to see the name brands but your regional accountant specializing in partnerships and smaller hedge funds will probably do a much better job. We went to one of the majors and they put some idiot newbies on the account who f***ed up some of the...

It's the pure market baby. No screwing with specialists, market makers, inside info, low floats, wide spreads, all the sh*t that can screw up one's return.

The auditor / accountants would have something to say about that. The fund managers would probably be up on embezzlement charges in a matter of weeks. All contributions and withdrawals are tracked to/from the LP account. If you're going to invest in a hedge fund, give the accountants and...

Your posting makes me think that you won't succeed if you're that sensitive to other people's feelings regarding your career choice. Unfortunately, this is going to affect your trading adversely.

Do you make money trading? C'mon, be honest - it's okay if you don't. :D

vanilla: I started with NASE (they hated me because I actually had to go to the doctor once in a while) and ended up with Aetna. If you have an LLC or any other kind of company, then you should be able to get a corporate plan with them. So far so good...

Don't use the absolute float as a criterion. Divide it by a 10-day volume average to get the percentage of float that is being traded. I look for an acceleration in this "float percentage" number to identify stocks that are appropriate for momentum trading systems. Set a minimum threshold to...

I hope we go to the highs of the day again - someone seems intent on killing the golden goose :D

Yup, hearing the same... hope there aren't too many of these "mistakes" because we wouldn't want to shake the confidence of the market, would we?

What you're missing is the advice of a serious hedge fund attorney. PM me if you want one who used to prosecute cases for the SEC - he's the one we use, and he's set up many on the Caymans. I could not agree with Dr. Z more. It is not a game of roll-your-own. PTR

Depends on the market volatility... the less volatile the market, the later the breakout, i.e., one tends to get whipsawed chasing the early ones. You'll note that in 2001 and 2002 that many of the opening ranges (for example 30% of the ATR) were broken within the first fifteen minutes. Lately...

It is.

Attached is the CPST chart...

Okay, I have to admit being a bit freaked out about some of the power generation moves before the outage. Yesterday pre-market, CPST was getting some block volume, and then I saw this today over at Street Insight: "Take a look at the stock of Chloride Group (CHLD:London), which trades across...

Does Fleck still tour with Loverboy? He was great. (See if you can pick him out.)

What kind of crazy question is that? Professional traders just love to tour. When hedge fund managers wake up each morning, the first thing they do is check their calendars for any must-attend dog & pony shows. :D
