    REITS vs REAL ESTATE

    If you want to leverage using financial securities (i.e. non-physical), here's a thought: Buy CMO or mortgage back passthrough. Look hard at the discount mortgage back. They're selling at ridiculous price. Moreover, their prepayment structure are inherently more stable .... although that...

    REITS vs REAL ESTATE

    Depends on the kind of real estate you're talking about. Rental property, e.x. apartment complex, are reasonably priced due to higher vacancy rate. Residential property are - needless-to-say - in a tad of a bubble. Commerical property are heavily underpriced. Only problem is that...

    Locking a dividend

    "The problem comes from puts on dividend paying stocks being expensive enough that selling calls can't offset the difference and you lose the benefit of the dividend." Can you explain what you are talking about? What do you mean by "expensive"? Volatility are the driving force behind option...

    SEYKOTA's method?

    You make it seems so simple.:D Identifying the trend is the hard part. If you could do so on a consistent basis (+decent risk management) you would be rich (filthy rich). Looking backward, it is easy to discern a trend, but projecting into the future is something else...

    SEYKOTA's method?

    Paul Tudor Jones in the same book said that trends only occur 15% of the time. Food for thought. Moreover, moving average tend to be overoptimized, i.e. curve-fitted. For example, what's the difference between 34 ema and 33 ema? What's the different between 34 ema and 30 ema?.... and...

    SEYKOTA's method?

    Determining if a stock exhibit linearity and then choosing an appropriate parameters for MA is ..... dangerous. Its call curve fitting.

    Demise Of Soros' Influence

    It was to comment on the following quote: "He's a Billionaire..aka a King...end of story." I wanted to point out the naive assumption from the aforementioned quote. The point being made is HOW you arrive at your fortune, i..e the end does not justify the means. I, and this is strictly...

    Demise Of Soros' Influence

    Being a billionaire means jacksh*t. The two brothers who setup Alticor/Amway/Quixtar are the biggest scam artists (despite a "legal" business model) and yet they're among the richest in the world. I am not saying that Soros is a scam artist. In fact, I find him annoying but at the...

    Demise Of Soros' Influence

    Soros did not TECHNICALLY break the bank of England. He claimed credit for it, but the decision-mkaing and risk management was ultimately at the hands of one of his trader. Soros is overrated. Dont get me wrong: he's one of the top minds in the business. But get way way too much...

    SHORTING - Anyone doing it here?

    Shorting for the long term almost always depends on fundamentals and market outlook. Shorting is very very risky in the long run as you are countering an upward bias market overall. Moreover, a significant profit of shorting comes from the early stage. In sum, I dont know if the...

    Market Neutral Trading / Securities

    No .. sorry no link. I have been digging through some old Future Magzine and have yet to find it. I know he made an appearance on CNBC awhile back. I think Kaufman in his Trading system book also mentioned a similar person. Might be the same person but I am not too positive.

    Market Neutral Trading / Securities

    Market Neutral works well in momentum market. Check out its Beta from 1995-1998. But this is not taking into account, tick-rule. Shorting for day trading is a bitch and can render most market-neutral strategy useless or at the very least biased towards the skewed side. For sideway markets...
