Yes, similar idea but on the long side and with options ... fixed risk and it becomes a waiting game. I will pyramid this too. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3012053#post3012053

Pulled the trigger 90% in JUN 2011 SPY 125 calls @ 4.32 10% in MAR 2011 GLD 135 calls @ 5.75 Big trade for me, risk is 100% of trade value, so wish me luck. I wanted 25% GLD but the options premium feels high.

The Ben Bernank :D

I'm waiting to get down there to BUY :)

Kind of pointless when the proft margins for health insurance companies are what .... 3-4%?

In the GLD example, you lose $1.50 per year to time decay, but gain some advantages - - Fixed risk in case of catastrophic drawdown - No stop loss - in case of catastrophic drawdown you won't get shaken out if it recovers within 1 year - Compound your profits Definitely a roller coaster...

"Gold is the ultimate bubble," Soros said at an event in New York sponsored by Reuters. "It is certainly not safe." Gold is currently the only bull market, Soros said, adding that it may continue to rise but "it's not going to last forever." He said it will be interesting to see if gold declines...

The plan is to wait for a good entry ..... not nearly there yet.

I just thought of this so it may be totally off base but .... How about a conservative options pyramid. A 370% price increase = 30% five times in succession, but you are going to use options to gain 60% five times = 1000% profit. The obvious risk is that a drawdown could blow the whole...

If basic nutrition isn't enough for you, and you need a super-healthy diet to feel well (like KTS), that means you have *** FOOD ALLERGIES *** And allergies grow. You may notice the foods that you feel "healthy" on is shrinking even beyond the vegetarian restrictions. I've been there.

+1 I've seen it all - people living on chicken fingers and pizza who go on for years and years, and people who eat healthier than 99% of all Americans, mostly organic veggies, and they fall apart. What does seem reliable, is that if you are a junk food junkie and switch to a healthy diet...

That's too bad about Bear Capital .... But I heard from Genesis, for retail accounts it will be business as usual.

joe, 8 years later and that's all you got?

Well there is the JP Morgan lawsuit and rumors that they are covering a huge short position ...

My model is showing a low-volume bull market through the middle of 2011, at least. I am thinking of just buying Russell 2k, some oil, maybe some gold and just sitting it out.

I have looked into this .... his original IMF report is here http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2010/09/pdf/kotlikoff.pdf He does not mention negative $200 trillion in this report - $200 trillion is a figure he has mentioned on TV and radio and seems to be a calculation of net...

Interesting ... what do you mean by that?

I am using BuddyBackup .... it is free, does local and remote backup, compression, and is incremental even breaking out parts of large files that have changed. It seems to work great, but then again I haven't used the restore feature much, beyond some small files for testing.

Effective in 60 days

Might also consider using implied volatility as an input?
