praetorian2, did EXDS (from July 11th to 21st 2001) meet the requirements of the GNP? if so, did you play it? how was it? I ask because I'm trying to get a more indepth understanding of this type of trade. Thanks

armaniman, amen to that

RAY, I'm not here to argue either. I'm just pointing out that to get the CFA designation you have to fulfill a job requirement (just like the other requirements - the passing of three exams.) Unfortunately most that take a cursory look at the program miss this. And it is rather specific...

as far as I know Reg T traders (retail) can not short stocks that are below $5.00 someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

appx a 20% premium so around $15/share CPQ

Look, I'll put it simply, without getting a corporate job you can not get the CFA. Period. Hitman wants to become a better trader. That has nothing to do with having the letters c f a after his name. People who do not have the CFA and that are great traders: Jim Rogers, George Soros...

I think you're referring to Buzzy Schwartz and I'm pretty sure it was no losing month.

I disagree re CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) It is a designation that was created to supply financial analysts to corporations and the private sector. The CFA is NOT simply three tests . There is a work requirement that you have to fulfill with surprisingly specific details (for example...

rtharp, since Ken's strategy is momentum, please ask him how he has adapted to this low momentum environment. Or how he would change his strategy if this continues or gets worse? thanks

I can't resist replying re fundamental analysis. I think it has a very dubious role to play in trading. There are many instances of stocks that had very lowsy fundamentals and to (almost) everyone's surprise kept going up. The reverse is also true, companies that are profitable (and making...

Nobody can do both? How about Tony Oz? Chris Schumacher? Ken Wolff? shall I go on?!?! Since when is teaching a "waste of time"? Personally I have found that when I have taught someone, it has been most rewarding both for the other person and myself. I guess it comes to beliefs as rtharp...

(I am not commenting on the seminars, of which I know nothing) However, to dismiss this author's work is rather immature. As I learned more and more about trading, I found out that two things determine success more than anything else. These are position sizing and psychology . If you are...

There are really 3 sections to the Efficient Market Theory (emphasis on theory ): weak form EMT-current prices reflect all market information (price, volume, all technical analysis inputs) semi-strong form EMT-the above + all public information (earnings, PE rations, dividends, cash...

P2, I also hold Gary in high esteem. I have yet to find someone as forthright and humble. However, I haven't subscribed yet because I believe that the market conditions right now limit his trading style. You can see in his daily comments on the site that he only has one or two picks (if...

Just wanted to add a bit to this explanation of hedge fund fee structures. Almost all funds have a feature called a watermark. This is so that they will have to recover losses and then go above them before they can earn a share of the profits. For example if a fund loses 20% and next year...

as far as I know Alan uses the standard numbers (inputs) for the BB calculations he uses: 20 day simple moving avg + 2 std deviations

Just wanted to point out that I still can't do a search Baron :confused:
