You are spot on there my man. I've been to Prague many times and each time I go I am absolutely stunned at the number of gorgeous friendly women in that city. Dr. Zhivodka

I'd be very careful when considering Costa Rica. The "brothers" incident as caused serious ripples in quality of life there. Bandwidth sucks no matter what others tell you. They think 128k is the big time. RACSA and ICE(both government monopolies) are HELL to deal with. "Tico Time" is...

Good man. Pig beats the midget hands down. If you've ever been hunting for wild boar you know what I'm talking about. However, I've never been hunting for wild midgets, yet, so I remain open to further evidence. Dr. Zhivodka

If your family and friends aren't mature enough to handle your success then first you have my sympathies. Second, you probably need to learn to separate your personal business from your personal relationships. Just make it a non-issue. They'll either learn to deal with it or they won't...

Hi Gordo, Reno is just down the hill (Mt Rose) from Incline, 20 min. max I have three homes in mind right now. I'll settle on one this weekend when I'm there next. I'll keep you in mind. Regards, Dr. Zhivodka

I'm buying a place in Incline Village this month. Let's get an active trading community together in Northern Nevada. I mean really, how can you go wrong there, no state taxes, great weather, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking, MTB'ing, fly fishing, etc...etc... Regards, Dr...

Sure, it's fine if the program (with no deviations) used to achieve those personal returns is exactly the same one that will be used by the Fund. Otherwise they're irrelevant and dishonest. But either way it should be plainly spelled out in the "Risk Factors" section of your OM that this...

Andy runs a Hedge Fund called NorthBridge Capital He likes to lay low after the Banker's Trust incident. Dr. Zhivodka

You miss the point entirely. But that's not uncommon. Transfers have nothing to do with what is being discussed. To your question, "Why not be novel and just base yourself out of the U.S. or U.K." Why? Then my question to you is "do you know any tax-exempt U.S. persons such an...

You should think long and hard about what you write on public board especially when the your real name and the name of your management company is splashed all over the post. Here's my final piece of advice for you. This area that you are exploring is the "big leagues." This arena is...

Right, what they are referring to here is something called the "Ten Commandment" of offshore funds. These are what must be satisfied in order for Funds to be viewed as "offshore" in the eyes of the Securities Acts. It's also what allows you as a U.S. person to remain in the U.S. and yet...

I doubt seriously whether GTT gave you a quote on what I referred to which was Administration and Auditing your offshore fund. The reason they wouldn't or shouldn't give you a quote is that they would have nothing to do with it. It's beyond the scope of their influence. They may have given...

Well as in everything, prestige is in the eye of the beholder. Bermuda is probably tops, but as I said before its cost and regulatory structure is a bit higher and tighter than some. Caymans traditionally has been very well regarded but some recent scandals may have tarnished its...

My offshore domicile is the BVI's. Slightly less cost and regulation than Bermuda or the Caymans. And slight higher in terms of prestige verse the Bahamas. So far so good. Regards, Dr. Zhivodka

What is the "expectancy" of your system? What is your "Position sizing algorithm?" How much "Opportunity" does your system have to execute its trades? Long-term smooth equity-curve profitability comes by multiplying your system's "opportunity" by its "expectancy" combined with a sound...

How in the world can you take offense at "nice going?" You seek conflict where none was intended. Dude, it's Friday chill a bit.... it's good for ya. :cool: Dr. Zhivodka

....check out the big brain on Walther! Nice going.

Specifically, what do you hear coming downing the pike, if anything. Dr. Zhivodka

Yes, so it did.... .....with an implied rate of less than 1.2% Now that's funny! :) Regards, Dr. Zhivodka

ah... according to my charts the Eurodollar futures contract did not set new contract highs today or last week. It did so on March 10. If what you meant to say is that the futures contract that represents the rate between EUR/USD set new highs *then* you would be correct. However, a...
