Just today on ET there is an individual with money looking for a mentor and/or system. an investor who made a 700 % return last year. and an employer who will provide a 500k house. Endless opportunity!

Do you find that a simple long and also a reverse/mirror image short system can both be profitable in even a strongly trending market? I think this is possible because one can construct a basket of spreads that do not coint and corr closely so at any time a long and short system can work...

I was told it would trickle down. No joke.

5 years of QE and ZIRP. The US on average has had about 2% GDP since 2009. Data since WWII shows that 3.3% GDP Y/Y is required for stable employment. Year/year 2% GDP growth has been accompanied with a 10% increase in unemployment. (Does not seem to agree with US 9ish to 6ish % drop.) I...

Consumer confidence is high and consumer spending is ok. I think the wealth effect due to stock gains for the middle and upper class is underestimated in terms of supporting consumer confidence and spending. Although most middle class benefit from paper gains in 401k/IRA (real gains for...

I imagine it is like being short this market. To those who still are short, bleeding and vomiting, and , cannot or will not honor thy stop. "The power of Christ compels you!" Repeat over and over.

First estimate GDP will be an anticipated media event and a +3 % print will take SP500 higher. The 2nd and final revisions dont matter. Release date Jul 30. Soon.

American workers are a pain in the ass. They want a cafeteria, good food, weekends off, competitive wages, high quality benefits and on and on and on. Yes, the young will sometimes sleep on couches and rally for deadline but will expect gratitude, bonus and a raise . They really expect to only...

Just my humble opinion but i think you have found a method that is working in this market. You are are punishing the shorts by selecting the most oversold of peers (Spreads becomimg more oversold) and dropping the hedge. Can this selection method be tested in a different market environment...

Actually, i think their point was to highlight the low margin required for exhange traded spreads vs. equity spreads however it does seem to require twice the capital for lower volatility whereas most seem to actively seek volatility. My example of this would be QQQ-SMH for reversion to mean...

I remember a couple respected ETers mentioning that spread trading equities can be a poor allocation of capital. Maybe you are a good directional trader.

Do you think on any given night she entertains the thought "i may be the most important human being on this planet"

I would like to hear your opinion on "2." I think the only exclusions would be the "Joe the plumber next door who trades as well". If there are many thousands of equity spreads or triplets i would think that any firm or actual trader has the tools to find,test and trade these prices. I...

Now i dont want to get too crazy here but when, not if, 3d print manufacturing takes off and is applied to the textile industry as well, how will this effect emerging markets and China? Genral Electric, Siemens, Phillips NV will probably lead in supplying this technology as they...
