Thanks

Ok, so did Sungard completely consume Andover? Or did they make some sort of investment in them and partner with them only.

In what form did Andover get a "Billion" dollar boost to their balance sheet? And what did Sungard get in return? Dr. Zhivodka

Check your bank account.....you'll know

Hi Darren, You must realize that usually you first negotiate commission (based on volume) and then workout the soft dollar package (based on volume). Read me loud and clear, everything is negotiable. But in the grand scheme of things 50-200 RT/month is not much. Here's my advice...

Plus, if you're trying to hedge your 100 delta common with a positive delta put, you will never get it right over the life of the long common. Do you know why....? There's friction everywhere. "There's a new friction in town and his name is Reggie Hammond!!" Grasshoppa, when you...

any Covered Call strategy = short naked put with two times the transaction charge. Do the math you'll see. No free lunch! If you live with options long enough you will soon come to realize that there is no advantage through strategy alone. Dr. Zhivodka

The markets with greatest degree of inefficiency are 1) the most illiquid and 2) the newest markets that have just begun trading. As is axiomatic, as markets mature and gain liquidity they tend asymptotically toward pure efficiency. Therefore the S&P and the Bonds is probably not he best...

This is exactly the right answer. Plain and simply, humans are not "hardwired" to be good traders. As many here no doubt know, to be a good trader requires that one do the uncomfortable. Traders must be able to step into the abyss with relative ease and on a nanoseconds notice. But...

Aderall is an amphetamine; this is definitely NOT a beta-blocker. Propranolol (Inderal) is a beta-blocker. You can distinguish the “beta-blockers” just by looking at their generic name, they all end in "ol." Listen kids, Dr. Zhivodka says do not try to self-medicate, unless of course...

... i forgot to add, if you want leverage stay way from the XAU and follow the HUI. Yes there are a few stocks that cross over between the two, but the HUI is an index of "unhedged companies." These are the companies that have the greatest sensitivity to the pure price of the spot. For...

Yes, Gold stocks move at ratio of about 5:1 verses the spot. But you can get similar leverage just by trading the futures contract. Futures provide a more favorable margin requirement than do equities. This is important when a Fund is managing it's margin obilgation down to the penny, unlike...

The mini's aren't going to make it. Just trade the big contract, it's only $100 per point per contract. Today was a fairly big move for GCZ2, $3.00 whole dollars. yee-haw!!

I like to do a little smack just before the bell. Then on big days, just a bit of blotter A after the close. But that's just me...

Go to a "Relax the Back" store. Pony up and get their top of the line chair. It's rather steep, about $3000, but damn is it sweet. I have fallen asleep in it on slow days. Dr. Zhivodka

Maybe, mabye not. But if YOU have to pay for it then mabye You ain't worth it. In ALL cases it should be soft dollared from your clearing firm. Are there any real traders on this GD board? Anybody?? Bueller....Bueller....Bueller .....

You guys are in the Bahamas, huh? Do you guys get over to Graycliff often? Man, I love hanging out in their Cigar lounge with a snifter of Louie XIV after a nice dinner of smothered Grouper. Damn, I gotta get back down there soon. Peace, Dr. Zhivodka

Is that accurate? You really can't trade grains or spreads with IB? Try Refco or Fimat for really first class service. I have used these guys for years, they know what they're doing. Another little piece of advice is that you really want to stay with a FCM as opposed to an Intro...

These guys have a very cost effective Hedge Fund accounting management package. They are traders themselves so they set out to build a package filed with features that they wanted but couldn't find in the open market without paying Price or KPMG an arm and a leg. One of the nice features...
