I primarily do overnight positions in large cap stocks, with some additions strategies in ETFs and a little dabbling in options. We are growing quite rapidly and are beginning to suffer from the scale so I might have to explore other more long term approaches...

No kidding :D LOL. The buy-n-hold guys save a bundle on commissions though :D

Dummie, keep trading and encourage your friends to do the same. The more of you, the better for me. I'm not Russian, you moron, secondly, 25k? You have no idea... You have also just earned a proud spot on my ignore list :D Aren't ya proud of yourself??? At a boy. Keep thowing eggs at the...

Make sure it's not manure you are trying to barbeque. There are enough nutrient left in it :D But b/c you survive living on it doesn't mean the cow left smth that it shouldn't have and that markets aren't efficient. Bon Appetit anyhow. Just brush your teeth afterwards.

Idiot, what is wrong with you???? You have absofuckinglutely no idea what you are talking about, so you might as well shut up. I am in acedemia, I also manage a hedge fund, and so far YOU are paying for my brand new sports car. What you don't realize is that you are not in the real trenches...

Your opinion is uninformed. Did you just come up with it???

Not really, fertilizers out of it's cow droppings/chips maybe :D

... that's if you are into scalping or short term swings. I think that both in trading and with the opposite sex the real gains come with a longer outlook... Ideally some would like to have (a) long term investment(s) and do some daytrading on the side ha? :D That may interfere with the...

The casino in this case is the broker who gets the commisions...

... if your marriage is pre-arranged and you never got a chance to find out who the person is :D Otherwise, I think that if approached seriously, it can be like Warren Buffet's investments - do research, go sample some merchandise that the company produces... If you like it - buy it :D...

The assumption being that this speculator is a professional who is an expert in risk management and is sufficiently capitalized to suffer the potential consequences of this risk. Most small gamblers/traders aren't falling into that category - hence the societal implications and the PDT. In a...

You are just so full of yourself, aren't ya? Trust me, kid, my vocabulary will make yours pale. If I do take time and think through what I write (e.g. if you read a paper of mine), you'd never think it was written by a foreigner, not to mention one who knew absolutely no English a few years...

Listen, moron, I have already mentioned elsewhere that English is my 4th language and until a few years ago I only <b>K</b>new (emphasis added for the overly-concerned-with-my-spelling-Doggie Hopper :D) a couple of swearings in it. My spelling and grammar are usually better than those of native...

Why? I think the real TA can be perfectly quantified. The strategy I'm trading is pure math based. No subjective judgements. The conditions are met - buy/sell. Time elapses - close the position. The real arb opportunities are quanitifiable. I think the reasons TA might not be getting too...

COME ON, you guys! :D This is getting ridiculous. Read the looooong recent thread on market efficiency for the answers. NO, brokerages DID NOT fund EMH research! :D It's not about funding AT ALL. Finance reseach is very different from research say in physics where pretty much all the...

Did you mean to say "trying"? B/c then you would be speaking for yourself, which you should be.

I think you misunderstood the way "I was describing it", b/c in what I was thinking you would not have to "have your eyes dart from xy to zy" (if you can rotate the plot to the appropriate angle) it's not just a more compact and space saving way to present data, some of the relationships (e.g...

Not sure about that. I'd say it's to determine when the old trend reverses and a new starts and you jump in before everyone else. Running with the croud following the trend will just allow you to make as much as the others doing the same thing, plus minus the effects of leverage. I think that...

What is up with every option being about "trend" trading???? Trading is not only about following the trends you know... I couldn't care less about the trends except when they go too far and reverse.
