HLF is UP again, the PAIN THE PAIN!! I wonder how Achman is doing.

Achman is using other peoples money for the gamble right?

But has he even made a profit? Thats the question. With the cost of hedge, borrow etc..

It seems with Stock companies can just issue secondary offerings anytime they want which dilute existing shareholders. Why would anyone buy single issues? especially IPOs? If they can print stock at will like printing US dollars?

Trolling is illegal if you are a holder. Sorry. :D

With the high carry cost and large position it seems like a recipe for disaster. http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/01/09/loeb-counters-ackmans-bet-against-herbalife/ He might be right that its a pyramid scheme but can he afford the wait while holding 1 billion short?

A better plan is to assume assignment and then calculate the margin situation you feel comfortable with. I allow a max of 10% margin (90% equity) assuming 100% assignment on SPY/IWM positions. So 1MM of SPY (100K borrow) 900K I consider my max exposure on assignment. Just because they...

What burned a lot of people was ignoring the charts and buying homes in the middle of nowhere when prices peaked because thier neighbor bought a home. Location location location is key. Just buying property anywhere at any prices is dumb. There were entire neighborhoods of cookie cutter...

Where did you get .93 I suspect I will get my position called away. if the dividend is .93

Any idiot makes money in a bull market. That is the problem, they think they are a genius when they are just lucky. He is just one of many washed out blown traders who rode the lucky bull market and got wiped out. They dont come back.

I bought an investment property in October. Primarily to diversify my investment portfolio. I avoided buying a McMansion or any property in one of those cookie cutter HOA ghettoes. I bought a 1955 ranch house with a nice sized yard in a well centralized location in an up and coming...

From what I read most of those hood rats are shooting their own (Gang violence,drug turf wars.) for money,control,etc.. I never hear on the news of someone in manhattan walking into a school and shooting people up. This does seem unique to a specific demographic and locations.

Cool I did not know that. I always just looked at the remainder of the value of the call premium - intrinsic value VS dividend amount.

I sold 35 calls on some of my SPY position on the 19th of nov Strike price of 139 (average price 135.28 for the long stock position) and was hoping to grab the dividend as well. It goes Ex-dividend on Dec 21 (Calls expire Jan 19 2013) Extrinsic value shows 62 cents. The dividend looks...

Simple. Get rid of Foodstamps/Medicaid and welfare. Then Walmart will have to pay higher wages since the government will n o longer pick up the rest of the tab.

Thats what I though. Reporting "Top trader #1 60% return in 2011"** is suspect. VERY suspect ** on 250 dollars assets under management

I am happy with the US markets. I trade Equity options on SPY and IWM.

Lemon socialism. Pay low wages, let taxpayers fund the other half of the missing wages.
