When we start drilling in ANWR.

Automate.

Not only is not just about the hours or in the passion, its also about ability. You could work 24/7 for the next 5 years and still not "get it". While there is no magical formula that makes a good trader and theoretically everyone is equal in their ability to succeed or fail, you really need...

If this is the case, then Pabst is right. The other problem you'll have is that you have found a niche play that works well, but can not be a stand-alone strategy. For you to attempt to construct a portfolio around this strategy requires you to be an expert in portfolio theory and quantitative...

The problem, WC, is that your fund only trades positively correlated instruments. In fact, many granters of capital will say that the focus is way to narrow to run a fund and that it would probably do best as 1 strategy within a multi-strat fund. There is no way that this strategy is scalable...

Borat, is that you???

Overleveraged.

that the Fed used Blackrock to advise on the Bear Stearns debacle! He is now backpeddling . Unreal. He's "not sure" how blackrock is being compensated. This reeks. Why do we need these guys again?

More importantly, what's does he pay himself in mangement fees?:confused:

For those in the NYC area, how is this different than the window fix commercials? "WOULD YOU BE QUIET I'M ON THE PHONE WITH WINDOW FIX?" That "woman" may rival the where's the beef lady for pure comedic value.

Not to mention that most foreign buyers are all cash types; they haven't been conditioned to load up on credit like we have. I think the impact of the foreign buyer in NYC is a total spin job by greedy NYC real estate brokers who attempt to keep prices high to protect their commissions.

You should change your order from a stop-limit to stop market order. If the market is moving quickly away from you, your stop could be triggered, but not executed because you have the limit in place. Now you're down more than you ever imagined (depending upon the size of the move) so maybe you...

Unless of course a 20 SD, black swan event occurs and you're on the wrong side and highly leveraged. Then you gotta hope those personal guarantees don't hold up in court or you're selling your house and moving back with your parents. :D :D I would obviously be more concerned with a...

I'm not going to read every post in this thread, but the bottom line is this: size players scale out, pikers do not. It is nearly impossible to pick absolute tops or bottoms, size players use areas of accumulation and dispersion, not trying to hit exact figures. Also to consider is the...

Any other takers?

I don't think this would help at all. Doesn't mean it can't happen.

I think we may see some short covering into the close. Who wants to be short if helicopter ben & co. surprise with a rate cut monday am before the market opens?

How about you give me half the money you were going to "invest", and I'll take you out back and kick you in the nutz.

I was with V & V when they were at Generic and can unequivocally state that this type of manuever would be VERY out of character for Vinh & Vlad. Both were stand up guys and I never had any problems. However, between these guys & tuco, it sounds like this is not a function of individuals...
