I personally wouldn't be worried about their hedging strategies, as they obviously don't work these days. To put it simply - most of their systems are broken for now.

I agree - he has great accuracy in that regard. Next up day we get, maybe tommorow, i'm sure he'll be back saying...."you guys are such noobs - markets off the races again". For now, he'll go back to his bunk bed in the dorm.

If you can handle working for someone else - I would say take the financial advisor job, and do position trading for yourself on the side (retail). You may even like the position trading more - I personally do, and do very little intra-day trading anymore. That way you can have best of...

Boy this website really has gone downhill. I thought this site is supposed to be about trading...not an outlet for all your problems you've had with women. My advice for you is hold off on the marriage for now - and go get some therapy for yourself. You seem sort of hostile towards...

Are you sure it was the 401K type people? I thought the redemptions were from Hedge Funds...of who were overly-long the commodities for the past few years. Think about it - regular baby boomer soon to be pensioner types haven't received their OCT statements yet. Weren't they still holding...

Interesting analysis. This sign of main streeting getting out hasn't really happened yet, I agree with you. I think until, we need to see signs of that at least. It's not likely the public is going to get off that easy. So far Hedge Funds first....the Mutual Funds...although alot of mutual...

Sorry I should have said I was looking at commodity stocks - not the HSI futures. I don't think I'll go short into the weekend... nothing alarming though - my charts blow right now...

Are you guys watching the afternoon session?

Yeah - the asian markets were obliterated in this sell off - so you can expect violent rallies...i'm not surprised. Take a look at China...total insanity.

Then this is a good sign - you have the discipline and the skill to stay out of a market that you feel has too much risk for marginal reward. Only losing speculators 'need' to be fully in the market at all times.

You sound like a beginner. Please don't laugh at this guy....even if you are a greenhorn.

I don't have one but my buddy does - so I know what you are talking about.

You wouldn't understand because you don't have an advisor account.

Agreed. Uptick rule is and was a dumb idea.

For sure he is, for some reason he craves the attention...as I said the more we talk to him the more it feeds him. He's probably on one of those library terminals at the community college typing away, while giving shy glances to the girl he wants to talk to....but can't muster up the courage...

My advice would be to use the unleveraged one. You may want to avoid leverage for now - and just go for small moves. Shorting on that monday was fine but remember that the market was already low so keep that in mind when holding overnight for the swing. You may want to take your profits faster.

OK, your right - im going to stop reading his posts - because you are right, it is a waste of time, and time is money these days. I don't know why but I feel compelled to read his posts, I actually find them comical.

It isn't that we don't have guts, we actually care about capital preservation because we have our life on the line and material amounts of money to put at work for longer periods of time than a single day or week. I don't loathe your bullishness. I was extremely bullish swing & core trading...

We don't hate him - we just think he's a silly kid. Who would really say "I'm always right" - you know they are immateur. I would love to find out how old this guy is.

Here's the thing Ivan with this guy - if he's not risking alot of money it's easy to go contrarian to the macro. He may even be right in the intermediate term - but being right doesn't make you money in the market. The thing is, for people that are doing it for a living, we need to assess...
