Haha. The biggest joke is that the NY POST link and vapid story is what the WSJ is going to look like with Murdoch at the helm. God what a horrible thought.

So, this afternoon at the gym I hear two 50 somethings discussing the market and these guys are actually angry that the market could have a legitimate down day. They are angry at Bernanke. The last day the market had a legitimate (ie substantial ) down day they were mad at Greenspan for...

Optioncoach, So how would I figure the duration of the treasury future for a given settlement month--say Sep ZB, or am I not understanding.

I want to know which treasurues to sell to hedge out the interest rate risk, not that I can sell the bonds and buy a bond fund, but thax anyway.

I have some corporates due in 7-30 yrs and I want to hedge out the risk on a good portion using the futures as a proxy. Which should I seel and how much? Say I have $500k in 30 yr aa corpproates and $1 mill in 7-15 yr corporates. I have an IB acct. I want to avoid selling them as they are pretty...

TTN is extremely valuable....both to fade and to buy. We have it and consider it essential. I just thought the blog was rather funny.

Hmmmm. Let's see: Someone in the business World with enough ethics to say "no" at any price to Murdoch? I believe we have that here. Remember, shareholders have no duty to other shareholders and there is no way Murdoch gets DJ from the Bancrofts. Go ahead and get long.....this is the...

I think the defendant needs an attorney who knows that "cleverer" is not a word

My losing was broken Friday at 20 consecutive days. I made $456. All I need is an 800 pt drop in the Dow.

Whitster, Thanks for your comments about the distribution of prices. I will ruminate on this and get back to you with some questions, but it seems that the number of up days v. down days would also not be evenly distributed. Funny, I never needed to know this to make millions of...

Handsome, LOL You are the only guy who quotes himself in his own posts. I have lost $25k being short in two months. I have actually lost money 19 consecutive days . Someone in my office says you would not just take 2 to the 19th power to figure the odds of this. He says it's not a...

grandeur, but.....how many days have been completely sunny? haha

KS96, In The Netherlands you would be taxed at the rate of 30% of an assumed earnings rate of 4%. That amounts to 1.2%. There is case law to support this position, unless you are operating as a business. This is known as "box 3" income. The actual case law related to a trader who came...

Dandxg, While you may not be advocating anything here, what you are describing is simply placing your assets outside the reach of US authorities, even if you would owe US tax. This is a procedure for effecting tax evasion, and not a procedure for tax avoidance. The Swiss will , I believe...

guys, I hold US citizenship. Unless one renounces US citizenship, he is liable for taxes on his worldwide income. Most people are aware of that....but Euros are taxed based on residency. Apart from this , most people are not aware that if you renounce citizenship from the US, and if you...
