aa- I trade on ib. I know it's stone age tech, but it's cheap and I honestly prefer it to any other broker I've ever used.

I have to agree with Baron. I thought about this also, and decided not to post much in the past. 777 look at http://www.valueinvestorsclub.com I think this is what you're looking for. You can get month old info without subscribing. If you are interested in creating a website, I'd be...

I do value investing. I've done quite well lately. We aren't in a bull market currently.... You can't loose when you buy a stock that is growing at 10% a year and trading at 3X FCF. That's value investing to me.

I honestly prefer decimals. You can read the bastard better, spreads are down to a nickle on average instead of 12c. You can penny anyone rather than having to pay up 6c. You also have 2 new weapons. NX is god. But NX is the redhead kid compared to openbook. Openbook changed the world. With it...

I just want the 100% return level. +9% baby so far this year. If I can do 9% every week... Caching!!! Question, can I apply for unemployment checks as an investor?

Easyguru- That sounds like a decent deal for you.

Very interesting site. This guy started from nothing in 1999, he has almost 30m now. If you build it they will come.....

I have to agree with surf. Even in 50's money, it would have probably taken 3-5k minimum to start it. Might have been about all he had.He wouldn't have had to be so fearful of lawsuits either. I'm surprised that he didn't start with more of his own money involved.

Honestly, I'd do a lot of research on it, and question him a lot. I know that when Buffett was selling, he spent days talking to people at first, but once the sale was complete, he wanted to be left alone. If I were a passive investor (I'd be a bad one), I'd do my dd, but then leave the guy...

Easyguru- I read that same book. I looked into a few of those services a while back. Maybe you can correct me, but it seemed as though they'd only steer money your way if you gave them a huge percentage of the fees from that money. Many of the services wanted 30%+. It is almost better to just...

Surf, Gann- Is it really that annoying? I have heard this from quite a few hedgies, and ex-hedgies. It must be true. Why don't you just take the approach that Buffett took in his fund? You get 1 yearly statement. There's 1 day a year when you can add or take out funds. On that one day...

I'm basically at this same point in my career. I figure that I am willing for the thing to be a money pit for a few years as long as I can get an audited track record for others to see. Most of the money that I've gotten so far is from friends and relatives. I have not really asked any of them...

I heard they're running a ltcm clone... ltcm jr.?

Instrument - Equities, a few options. Time Frame- A few minutes to still open. Over half my account is in positions that I put on and have yet to sell. Some I have held since 2001. Margin Exposure- Rarely over 100% overnight, often much less. Intraday, it got up to around 120-130% on...

I did 90.42% in 2002, 2001 I did 231.91% 2000 I did 133.69% I am starting a hedge fund. First day of business was friday. I'm pretty psyched. I've been waiting for this week now for over 6 months. I was pretty disappointed by this year. If not for DDN, it could have been a lot...

Critical liquidity provider.... let them ponder that.... they feel outclassed and change the subject.

Nope, thv is amex. I only own about 2% anyway. Not hyping. Never have.

Congrats to all of you guys who hit the 100% bogey. Hope I can join you all again next year. Rough year for me this year though. Good luck in '03 to all.

Yeah, I was up about 45% after Feb, and I was thinkin' I was good for like a 400% year. I really stunk during both may and july, and had a few rough hits in october. During the whole rest of the time after Feb, I only put on about 45% more. I think I ended up in the low 90%'s. I am on vacation...

I think you can use datek, but it must be a complete hassle to do that and aggregate accounts for a hedge fund.
