    Orange Juice!!

    when i read the comment "i guess you'd have a lot of oj to drink" oj almost came out of my nose. obviously this applies to any commodity you're trading (e.g. "i guess we can make a lot of bread w/ the 50k bushels of wheat i now own"). re ideas for trading OJ, looking at the chart which is all...

    as dr. evil would say, + 1 million to everything swan has been saying - for the love of God, this is your money you're talking about - why would you trust it to a nutjob who invested in a racetrack? there are so many things we can't control in trading but a few we can such as position size...

    Best strategy for small moves ?

    i assume you're talking re a 5-10% return for the option not the UL? if so, just remember when you're aiming for relatively small returns like this (i know, 10% in a short time isn't a small return but it is for options when you're loss could be just as big) that a small move in the other...

    +1 to everything except the last sentence b/c of that director buying the racetrack nonsense but very good points. my 0.02 USD is that someone buys them for next to nothing to acquire their relationships and has to do a capital infusion to put them on solid ground. now b/c i said that they'll...

    Risk management for a portfolio with different stocks & options

    dump the entire port into TOS or IB or any option analyzer, find the port beta, buy the required number of weekly spy puts, boom done. not the best solution b/c the beta number could fluctuate but close enough for an early sunday morning.

    TRXT and bond risks

    re decades long good perf, yes it has good perf over long periods of time but it can severely underperform during short periods like last year. they call it a track record for a reason... re if bonds crash, TRXT aka BOND will get killed just like any bond fund unless he somehow completely...

    KOSPI Future

    excellent point. pretty sure you need an IB account to trade them b/c you're trading a KRW based product. you can use another broker but i frankly trust ib more than anyone else.

    Fairly new PC slowing down.

    +1 to MSE (msft sec essentials). run cc cleaner at least once a week. download the portable version of revo uninstaller which imho is the best free uninstaller b/c it gets everything a program installs which the windows uninstaller won't. scroll to bottom of page for portable version...

    couple points...first, avoid PNSN like the plague. just b/c the accounts would be transferred doesn't mean there won't be a problem. you don't want to go through the process of having your positions frozen while they're transferred to another firm - esp options positions. what happens if you're...

    Any point in upgrading my hardware

    +1. for most of us who only turn our computer off when we are restarting it to apply an update, a faster start up time is of little to no value. besides, if you're smart you disable automatic update installation and just have the updates automatically dl'ed but you install when you want - before...
