My point was that a a basic option strategy can't be defined as = to bad. This is not a suggestion to anyone to do anything, most certainly not to newbs. Just to say that each strategy has its place and can be employed by a pro. trader in a myriad of ways as to be good risk/reward for said...

No a provider issue. My AT and other software all have spoos and ques down since 10:05

Quit fighting y'all. Bottom line is that long and short option positions (naked or not) have their place in various strategies, and while may serve a good purpose for one, can be deadly for another. Neither is a "NEVER DO THIS NO MATTER WHAT B/C IT'S JUST TERRIBLE". It's how and when you...

I would confirm a similar experience. Called TS tech support this morning and waited for 10-15 minutes before hanging up. So that's a little different than "one" minute suggested by the TS rep. here.

NO. As Mav indicated, you will not lose more than your inital investment in a hedge fund/managed futures fund. In an LP (limited partnership) you will just lose your contributions/current capital, and are just an investing partner.

That wasn't nice! But it was pretty funny though! :D

Ebo - Question was quite appropriate. As my post indicated, I am in complete agreement with you: "With the volatility of the fund it doesn't seem to make much of a difference". Nonetheless, your posts until now have been informative, and I thank you for that.

Yeah, what's the deal with the 4% "sales charge"? Is this standard practice with manged futures funds? It seems to go to Quadriga ASSET Mgmt, an "affiliate" of Q Cap. Mgmt. Which makes me think that it's owned by QCM. If so then isn't that basically going to Christian? With the...

Wondering what class of shares you guys own, and if both, what's your split?

Thank you. I've checked their site, read through the documents... Looking for experiences form current/past investors. Just part of due diligence process. Are you invested there or have you, in the past?

Anyone invested there? Opinions, experiences in funds or with management, any other info. appreciated. I've seen past posts but am looking for more detail. Just looking to put some cash to work there. PM if not comfortable answering on board. Thanks

Ditto. Agree, generally, with Mecro.

UNlikely that a series 7 would be held responsible if the sec did decide to do something, in this kind of case. If anything, the firm's management and maybe the 24's, but rare for the 7's.

Hard Knocks University a.k.a., down and dirty, real-world trading.

Not the brightest idea... WIth nobody short, who will take the other side of the fund sells when things are in panic? Without shorts the market would have opened even lower when it reopened following Sept. 11. Shorts dampen volatility in the markets (which has its pros and cons). THAT...

Double-digit returns every year since he started SAC Cap. His worst yaer, was a recent 13% or so. The fund is closed, and in fact he returned money to investors in the recent past. People aren't giving him 50% incentive fees for t-bill returns! Keep in mind those returns while great numbers...

So why are they using the Cytrix instead of the VPN?

Tough to get away from it all. There are cities in Israel though where there have been very little or no suicide bombings (Dead Sea area, Eilat...), just not sure you'd want to live there! Speaking of sand, the beach in Tel Aviv is beautiful. It's great. You can be in the city and then be at...
