As if 1x isn't volatile enough

I do market neutral trading on Schwab SSE. right click on the chart with your symbol, choose 'add study', then choose 'Trend', then choose 'Price Relative' then in the 'Compare to' box put the symbol you want to spread against. It plots the price ratio, which is sufficient for trend analysis on...

I'm a long time subscriber to their print magazine. There's not much new in the world of technical analysis but sometimes I will see an interesting twist that will spark a new research idea. Hard to describe it in words but there is something magical about print magazines compared to online...

which hedge fund?

I didn't love Kalshi's range bets. I prefer the simpler yes/no stuff from CME event contracts.

The paradigm of office space and retail space has totally changed since those days. The graph is at 2008 levels but I think it will go a lot lower to reflect the permanent changes in commercial RE.

Might we be at a juncture similar to the summer of 2007? When Bear Stearns imploded and then deeper cracks began to emerge?

I predict office space in the US will permanently disappear within 5 years, with the exception of medical office space where physical presence is required. I am seeing an exponential rise of businesses becoming location agnostic. Hiring a programmer in a developing country for 1/10th the cost...

Pension funds are more than happy to pay 2/20 to achieve 10% net returns. They are scouring for actively managed vehicles that can absorb their billions in assets. That's mainly why these large hedge funds exist producing mediocre returns. They are a place to park institutional assets.

Recently listened to the 'Chat With Traders' podcast where they interviewed her. Pretty good.

will be interesting to see how the CTAs fared this month. I'm guessing they lost their lustre after the big 2022.

bought some in my HSA account last Monday. If financial sector drop to pre-covid levels that could be a 10x move in this ETF

SEC is currently watching public chat rooms for false rumors about banks.

I'm pretty sure the amounts not paid by FDIC (anything greater than $250k) is the responsibility of the US taxpayer. Those well to do Bay Area tech geeks will be made whole with the taxes I pay.

hope you're right

Totally agree. In many instances, home based traders have a hightened sense of survival and visceral sense for risk because if they get it wrong, they end up homeless. The instutitional types may have quant risk modelling etc but they are playing with someone else's money in the end and the...

I appreciate it too. My cash at Fidelity and Schwab is earning almost 4.5%. Feel sorry for landlords getting 5% cap rates on their REI

countless number of rich portfolio managers out there who can't beat the S&P, let alone their strategy benchmark. I recently spoke to a friend who works at an asset management firm where the fund he is involved with has an annualized return of 1.7% for the past 10 years and this fund has more...
