Exposed.. My portfolio is so exposed. This exposure to an eventual collapse in my portfolio holdings arises from the fact that I'm holding onto some toxic assets that could explode at any moment and take my portfolio down with it. I must get rid of unwanted positions ASAP. I must dig...

Good luck & Never give up !!!

Now, institutionalized dumb money has one more stock to lose money on.

I know several successful Hedge Fund managers who have dropped out of school/who do not have a degree. Degree helps, but that's not the end of it all. Actually, if you really want to successfully manage a portfolio, you would be wasting a lot of time learning about junk that you couldn't...

Degrees are overrated. You would be amazed at the collective intelligence of Wall Street. What one really needs is discipline & focus. You don't really need a degree to work on Wall Street, if the desire is there. Taking some classes in Finance/Business would only help. If so, do it...

No college can teach you how to manage and to grow money. No shitty certificate (CFA) program can teach you how to manage and to grow money. But one thing can teach you how to manage and to grow money: make money, manage money, make mistakes and learn from mistakes. If I could do it all...

The whole of ET is just noise. Just random noise. I would not call it an edge.

Going to Cash S&P is up 7% or so YTD. I'm getting out of positions to get my portfolio back to cash mode. Goal is to be 80%+ in cash going into June as I expect not much upside left after the fed tightening and most likely we can expect a severe sell off before the years end. Will only be...

No one will understand me.

2012 Many are calling for a severe economic depression in 2012. Some are even calling it the end of the world itself. A pullback from these levels is imminent. But, it would not be all that surprising as the only way to stabilize our economy is to print more of ever depreciating dollars...

I manage investments. I worry daily about raising more debt & equity capital and in allocating those capital to its best and most effective uses.

This is not unreasonable. Welcome to the game !!! :)

Work hard, do something productive, save money and invest into a S&P 500 index fund for the long term and you will come out better than 100% of all the traders out there. I wish someone would've told me this 10 years ago. (This post is the single greatest post ever on ET)

This really is a very stupid question. You can make money as long as the bond issuer wouldn't default. If they default, you lose everything. If the issuer was financially strong to begin with, they wouldn't had to issue the bond. And you don't really want to buy bonds from a weak company...

This is worth quoting again. Trading is SUICIDE in the worst form. Trading as it has been done by all/most doesn't have a positive statistical edge. And by the time your realize it, it is TOO LATE and you're done.

Update: I manage more than $10M !!! As long as your mind can conceive & believe, so it shall be.

In this business, you make billions, or you go broke. There is no in-between.

Muzzies killing Muzzies: Allah would be very proud.

The real problem is the death cult known as Islam. There is no stopping this cancer before it imprisons all.

India should takeover this failed state.
