    Managing Funds for a Living

    In the future managed accounts will be held for a pre-determined period (more than one year and likely 2), expectations will be to outperform the market (nasdaq) by 20-30% each 52-week period and overtime my 8-year performance chart growth will even be exceeded. More importantly, <i>all...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    <b>How is everyone?</b> Hope all got thru the correction with their psyche intact. It's all routine here, but I continue to learn very valuable lessons. I've been through many, many, many corrections and the last Bear Market. I lived in Silicon Valley in the hey-day (I've now gone Hollywood -...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    I am quite apalled at all of these people that believe their BS. Must not be experienced traders, must not be educated and must be quite stupid. My records are on track, but I won't take the time to share with you how or why. You'll just have to "wait-and-see", why I cast these pearls...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    WOTM Index (call/bearish) Spread Trades have benefited my funds since our 26-Jul-2007 market "top" (Stop Losses) call - increasing funds ~25%. Normally I cash out and go into my "wait-and-see" mode until the market puts in a bottom. Not only do I avoid losses/retain (most) past gains, but...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    ...our last update was after 15-Aug-2007 close. We will now try to make some sense with regards to these subsequent trades. With the markets [DJIA/Nasdaq/SPX/QQQ/NYA/RUT/MID/SML/SOXX] in complete disarray as a result of the schizo action we've been experiencing for months, the...

    Isn't this all just BS?

    ...if you say so. I just found ETF's, well at least SPY that has decent bid/ask spreads that I am assuming I can contstruct spread trade from. Now I just need a list of ETF's. Since I know TA well enough, I can only hope the bid/ask spreads are just as favorable. gA s&l's??

    Isn't this all just BS?

    Thanks for offering a bit of insight otc. OTM bearish call spreads have been working for me lately. Especially when we were still close to an expiration. I'm doing AAPL and RIMM but would like to diversify out of Nasdaq 100 stocks. (Hence the financial stock opportunities.) QQQ spreads...

    Isn't this all just BS?

    FYI is anyone (traders) even thinking about further shorting these banks, brokerages and investment banks that benfited in share price these last couple of days with Fed infusion/symbolic intervention? If you think there HAS to be more volitility/work on this downside...these would be easy...

    Isn't this all just BS?

    Yes, but it is. Except for the possiblity of not everyone getting that "warm and fuzzy" feeling when we are around, it IS up to us. If we don't bring sense into the forum of life - bad decisions will continue to proliferate that AFFECT EVERYONE. I don't want that and neither does anyone if...

    Isn't this all just BS?

    I would venture to say that quick enough the equity built into our homes once hitting lows will reach even higher. AND a whole assortment of benefits will evolve. Let these scumbags get a real job and earn the right to be deemed creditworthy enough to once again buy a house within their...

    Isn't this all just BS?

    How many career traders are like me and think all this mumbo-jumbo lately is just a bunch of non-sensical hoopla? (1) We are in the US. (2) We have a global market/economy scenario these days. (3) Capitalism and prosperity is the call of the day (norm/aspire to) That being said those...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    That is figuratively speaking. I actually need to keep up with all my routines to accomplish these goals. I just post summaries here. Read my first post...then you'll get the gist. I need to (re-) establish credibility to start back up with managed accounts. Perhaps 6 months more I'll...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    I could pull up and add charts of RIMM, AAPL, GOOG, MA, BIDU, AMZN, etc. ...along with the progression of SPX/NYA/Nasdaq/DJIA/RUT/MID/SML/SOXX coupled with the Vix and Vxn along with pictures of me sleeping well these past weeks...but I will spare you. Not to mention daily charts of...

    Naked Index Calls = $$$$

    It been a few days and I have an update: The last update found us at $826,252 - down from our $1M account inception. Our last WOTM (way-out-the-money) index spread trade was in the QQQ's at the Aug07 49c and 50c strikes for a .14 net credit with 150 contracts. If the full amount was...

    Managing Funds for a Living

    There’s a reason XxxxxxxCapital.com pays such close attention to a stock’s price action and its volume — one rarely goes far without the other. And when prices make big moves without supporting volume, or volume spikes without price gains coming along, that’s often a sign of trouble...

    I post daily trading journal entries atr C2: -musings: Wednesday: 12:40 pm EST The indexes have yet to show conviction in either direction. Our RIMM contracts are seeing gains as the stock trends lower. Vix/Vxn (investor fear) still pushing into high territory. On Monday, the...

    This is from a C2 post. Accurately reading Market Direction helps stock fund managers. Just to clarify here my recent calls: August 15, 2006 green light (from Stop Losses) ...came out of Stop Losses and WE WERE in a correction, close to market bottom. Capitalized for many month...
