Does anyone have any ideas on how to implement??? I've been looking for a way to protect investors (Sinking fund concept) Either through Insurance or any other means. CPPI, Trust, any experience with this??? What do you think would be the cheapest and most Proper Structure to get the idea...

I've been looking for a way to protect investors (Sinking fund concept) And since you seem deeply involved or familiar with various forms of Insurance. What do you think would be the cheapest and most Proper Structure to get the idea covered??? Not intentionally looking to lose money, however...

gotcha, balancing out the book?

Obviously not an active Strangle player... Like this weekend MAR expirations. I get what he's trying to do. Monthly Exp, big move mondays. Capture the moves (using APR Strangle) with Increased IV on the winning side, dumpin the losing side quickly, etc... But I just dont see it as a good...

I have no idea about CDS and frankly No idea where to begin... What are the Best Books on CDS? Where to begin? How do companies get a CDS? (I want some Small Business Protection/Insurance) lol Any info for a Novice CDS player is greatly welcomed.

Exactly. Business Owners have been told for years by CPA's to legally hide profits from the tax man. But as traders, we need the profits to prove income. Especially for the Mortgages. The Bank wont call to verify income if you tell them you are a Family or Single Person Small Business.

That doesnt sound right at all, to me. SPY $76.09 Strangle APR 80 Calls .SZCDB APR 72 Puts .SZCPT For a Debit of no more than $4.08 That strangle would need a HUGE MOVE to payoff. ONLY a move outside of the Range of $67.92-$84.08 (-10% and/or +10.5%) would cover the losses.

True but as a business person which owns tangible assets. The bank will base the loan more on a collateral/asset based profile. (thats the catch though) Business people with huge assets dont need the Mortgage. Either way its tough on the stay at home trader to qualify for the mortgages...

Yeah you would think. I really dont know what the deduction the guy was trying to claim (maybe it was someting outrageous like 30% of mortgage) But when I heard he got audited I was all over him for details. Basically they broke it down into a % of manhours in the week for the Car...

Be VERY careful with this. I know someone personaly that got audited and hammered on this deduction. The Auditor showed up at his house and measure His Desktop and that SqFt(age) % to the overall % of the house and that was the max he could claim. IRS isn't screwing around with the Home/Office...

Thanks (I know not the most scientific but it's the best test Ive found free online.) I always run from the closest server. And yes 6.m Up is really fast.

Tests to run, http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ My Cable Broadband (I ran 3 back to back tests) Averages 24.3Mbps Download//2.8 Mbps Upload in the Early NY trading session but After lunch, I average only 10.1 Down//1.9 Up. AND ping www.yahoo.com from your CMD and notice the trip...

Heech, Im really interested in your setup. Seriously though what kind of speed are we talking if we go the RDC to Server compared to the Cable Broadband? Have you had the catch to run a speedteser on it? And whats the round about on price? D

JWCapital, First very good post here. CovCalls --> Into temp short term Collar trades. What a great idea. But how partical is it? Do you lose much on transaction costs here for your extreme short term Insurance and Bid/Ask spread???

Yep, consistent now (Mainly because of my diversification). I dont know about emotionally wise though.

google Stock Certificate Transfer And change brokers.

No not that I know of. (I have Diversification in REinvesting) But most are 10/1 ARM If slum lording it, Are you Section 8ing for income? If so you'll never need the 10/1. It will pay off soon.

I was unfortunate to have early success. Unfortunate only because I got greedy and thought I had it all figured out. I knew nothing about Money Management, Risk Management, etc. My first 10 months Retail/FT trading, in 2003 I was profitable. I just knew I could do it. And frankly it was just too...

OK, so maybe the semantics of my last sentence was somewhat wrong. I truly do hope everyone is successful and if your Pivots are working for you, great. Im curious though, Pivot trader, Do you set predefined levels prior, during, or fluid thoughout the day??? Most Pivot traders abandon...
