Thanks. Do you know what happens in regards to the dividend with you go long the short ETF mirror image of the SPY?

Yes England was the creator....but that's just conspiracy theory nonsense about US invading Canada - Once and awhile you get a wacko American who says something like this.....but that's exactly the type of American that gives the intelligent Americans a bad name. When Canadians say that...

In other words you don't know the answer.

Is the SPDRS ETF just a like a stock where if you short over ex-dividend date you have to pay the dividend? Has anyone held the SPY short over the ex-dividend date?

It's tough to say, the companies won't reveal, but alot of commercial hedging is done in advance to prepare for un-expected swings in the per barrel price. The companies in the Tar sands are EXTREMELY large, and spend a great deal of money on hedging. These hedging activities extend into the...

WOW, you need a hug buddy. Like I said, if you go up around Leslie & 7, I know of a few offices that look closed late at night, but they are actually 'open for biz'. However, don't start rambling on about your frustrations - or even those broads won't touch you EVEN if you pay them. I was...

True - it doesn't even matter if he's "stupid"...in fact everyone should stop insulting him, so we can really pay attention to his "predictions". This guy loves to predict...but you'll notice when we get selling days in a row, he kind of goes away. Then we get 1 positive day (1 is usually...

Should be re-worded to you "hope" it will be on a ventilator. Unfortunately, there are very few certainties in this world.

Rub & Tug - North of 7?

But what happens if that 'unprecedented' amount you speak of is worth less? What happens if you need a wheelbarrow of dollars just to buy a loaf of bread? THAT in my opinion, would really be 'beyond belief'.

German, I know some great looking Canadian girls who are single....if you ever want to escape...let me know, I could introduce. Canadian girls are great - they love to screw.

Canada's already a multi-cultural place....don't know where you are living? Thunder Bay? In Toronto we have every color and oodles of chineese. I love the chineese - we have a lot of great things to learn from them. For one thing they make the best food in the word, and shopping at a...

I agree - even if they pretend to be joking, deep down inside they (OK not all Americans...but just most of them:) actually believe it....or they believe that trying to invade Canada would be a good thing. It is precisely this stupidity that explains why this fellow always feels like he's...

There is an office at VP & 401. I can find the address if you want - someone on here gave it to me last year.

The funniest was earlier in the evening CNBC were saying "very ugly trading in asia now, with steep losses on the Hang Seng" What was hang seng down today at the most earlier? -300 ? Wow - those are STEEEEP loses. Such exageratters. I find myself watching the mind numbing news....gotta...

I often wonder if too much education could hinder profit. Have you guys ever thought about this? Do you think it's possible, the less education you have could actually be a benefit to trading FOR YOURSELF? Do you think it's possible you either have it or you don't....meaning the ability to...

I agree with this - it does depend on personality. Some people are better suited to scalping - some people are better suited to position trading....so my bias is towards position trading. Some maybe even able to do both or a combination in between. But from my own personal experiences, I...

I think it's more than 85%. I for example lost maybe 50% of my equity...wiped out. I was overleveraged in the oil market and when the collapse happened, I couldn't get out without collapsing against myself. It was all position trading - similar to hedge fund type trading. Since then I have...

Stay out of the futures market. If you feel nervous when you get in a position - or feel emotional about your losses - your too leveraged for your account size - even with 1 YM contract. I say you move to the stock market. Plus you mention you are getting whipsawed - that's likely because...
