Guys, you can't think of EVERYTHING as an investment. It's usually a good idea to think of the return you will get on your money but quite honestly when it comes to your home, owning is more than a consideration of which investment class will outperform. When you own your house it no longer is a...

It really all depends, if you are able to trade and generate 20+% returns yearly then owning a home may actually make sense. One can successfully use their house as an ATM and invest that money wisely and beat the returns they're paying in interest and also own and home and possibly enjoy some...

He's right if, and this is an enormous if, you can invest your money wisely. Most people are better off with crappy returns or even small losses than they would be investing that money on their own in some stupid investments.

IB almost always has locates.

Really? 60 views and no one can answer this?

Long term these 2x and 3x leveraged ETF's will trend downwards simply because of re-balancing. My question is simply this, obviously using stops in case the market really tanks in a given day/week/month, what is the downside of holding a LONG TERM short position in these 2x and 3x leveraged...

Still avoiding my challenge cgarcia? You're still the most pathetic person on ET and that's quite an accomplishment given some of your competition!

cgarcia "I'm no fool, you can display fabricated profits on your computer screen. I have no time to watch daytraders lose money." You won't be losing money watching me if I lose money you idiot, if I am losing money you are winning the bet. Bet me $50,000 that I will lose money in...

I miss 2008 when "futs tanking" actually meant they were tanking.

Even your 12 yr old niece agrees that it's not a good time to buy? Is that supposed to give you confidence in your neutral/bearish stance? The more posts I read the more I understand why so many lose money in the markets.

Short Earth Long Mars Really, who cares.

No it actually DOES explain why some prop firms require S7 and why some do not.

Always nice to see this thread not updated for a week. Quiet on this front is nice :)

Most likely the greatest asset any trader can have.

This happens all the time, it's a pain in the ass going back and getting the cost basis of all transactions if you're an active trader but I've seen million dollar tax bills because of this. It ultimately gets resolved but it's a hassle and your accountant will charge you a decent amount for all...

That would be legal and your friend would be an idiot.

Depends how the friend knew. If your "friend" is being given the order to trade for these funds and they are front running the order then that's illegal. If he comes upon an IM or email by mistake then it's a grey-ish area but no it wouldn't be illegal in my mind.

I'm in Canada but was born in the US. I am a dual citizen and am strongly considering renouncing my US citizenship, it's an absolute burden.

Use your brain if you have one you idiot. When I bring up a stock that I am trading an you see it on VNC viewer you can look at your own quotes to see if I'm changing the quotes around. WHERE IS YOUR EXCUSE NOW?? Stop hiding you pathetic rat. Seriously, if you actually do well I'm challenging...

Depends on how you trade. The bottom line simply is a reminder to everyone that you always must adapt in this game. Today it's HFT, tomorrow it will be something else. The market is always changing, your strategy will always change, that's what distinguishes the traders that have long careers...
