    just buying currencies

    Come on Skalpz, you're not gonna teach me foreign exchange bud. You're the only one who presumes to know everything. I'm just stating the facts; whether or not Oanda is your broker is not the point... I assumed it was as I did not know of any other broker who did continuous interest payments...

    just buying currencies

    You never actually take delivery of these currencies, they just get rolled over day after day. It's not like you actually have a Euro balance... Spot is just today +1 or +2 days forward. Oanda is pretty good about this interest thing but it boils down to the same daily money market differential...

    just buying currencies

    What you guys don't understand is that when you trade currencies, you're not actually holding euros or holding yens or pounds...you're holding dollars at all times but have a claim or forward claim on these currencies. Forex brokers are not good for longer term investments as your spot gets...

    Dollar bears will be crushed

    BS... the basis now is tiny on a CNY forward, anyone who has had a short USD long CNY position is in the terminal phase of the trade; and it's not a substantial phase. It's just going to be a loss just like any other loss; definitely not a "serious failure" and most HF are not MASSIVELY short...

    Beginner question about Greeks (reading Natneberg for 2nd time)

    yes except your gamma is .02 to get you to .42... besides that minor mistake, you're on your way to understanding option pricing... in reality though, your delta/gamma is constantly changing so you cannot apply a linear relationship like you just did... but it gets you close to home.

    Steven Cohen's trading results

    In my opinion there is only one kind of war...religious war. Get rid of all religions, you'd get rid of 90% of all wars waged today. Of course, people will take offense at what I just said, so here it is, the disclaimer: I, the undersigned, here attest that all here above is only the...

    Now you did it Lefty! You've ruined the kid's confidence; you happy now? ;) Here's one for you Kamdoo, never make apologies on wall street. The game has to be played and won, no mercy, no quarter. Whatever it takes, GET IT DONE! Lefty is just collateral damage. I like the attitude though...

    Frankly on wall street, no one has zero hubris / arrogance. That's a wall street trait.

    Kamdoo, I guess I'm the only one on your side here. To be honest though, they may ask questions related to the greeks; nothing to the extent that Lefty has put forth, but things like what is gamma/theta; what is the sharpe ratio; what's 49*27 or 7% of 15; you know things like that, easy stuff...

    lol; that equation is completely wrong. Derive it and you'll figure out ur way out of left(y) field. dV = a(VL - V)dt +EV dz VL = long run average variance rate. Stop playing lefty.

    My estimate of implied volatility is arbitrary. I took 9% as an example. You really are on crack aren't you? I don't need ivolatility I have Reuters and Bloomberg, what are you, a beginner?
