surdo..I agree...but i wonder if there is something i am missing. I read a few article where people said "if you trade them too much, they get expensive". But the only charges i see are annualized...so: If i hold a $100k of aan ETF for one month with a .4% sexpense ration my charge is...

I am a bit confused as to cost of ETFs. I know they have a small expense ration (say between .1 and .7%)...but is the charge: a. annualized b. is that what they charge every time i buy and sell c. something else. Thanks. Dan

1. HF charge 2, 20 on other peoples money. a small fund (say 20mm) charges 2% per year if progitable or not...400k in your pocket. 1-2 people can run a 20mm fund. 2. less risk, better rep. 10 to 1 leverage you can get wiped out FAST. if a hedge fund goes to pot...you have "hedge fund"...

therefore, said person with that intent can only achive traditional success by doing nothing. If you never start, you cant fail. if you never fail you have succeeded in not being a failure. my head hurts now.:p

becuse we all have a human mind, then you admit it is complex. Trading is not simply created out of thin air nor can it be produced or transacted without the human mind. Things that are complex have a tendency to be difficult, and therefore not for dumb people...

There are lots of things that were created my mankind that will probably NEVER be conquered my mankind. my top three are: 1. Religion 2. Golf 3. Trading you just cant get it right all the time...there are always problems, conflict and imperfections. to say trading is easy would be to...

think that DOES matter quite a bit. on the indices, you need to use a short time period to "amplify" a bit, unless you want to trade twice per year. RSI is fine...not a grail. the only grail is solid money management.

Hi cash, I have just started this year in options.. 1. I am really enjoying them so far. my profitability has not yet taken off...but havent really lost anything. 2. I am just directional for now with a small % of my overall portfilio (less than 10%). I think this is a directional...

Great for you AFRICA. If it is easy, then you surely understand its enormous profit potential. Therefore, we suspect that you will quickly rocket your way to being one of the wealthiest people in the world. By the way, when you truly start to understand the subject, i promise, your tone...

dead on. really screwy and illogical.

most lost...around $3500. at the time it was about 10% of my portfolio. but that was a while ago. there is a guy somewhere on here that lost $1.5mm on day. something like that. I agreee with all that it is a great lesson. oyu need to feel that pain, learn the lesson, and never make...

i personally am short...but a bit nervous. i have been easing into a short position over the last week...and i am in the red..but my stops have not been hit. the markets seem to be undecisive (which for a bear like myself is good) but we keep getting whacky gap up, gap down opens. it may...

i thought the nail in the coffin was the jobs report...i doubled up on that one.

i manage some family money as well... 1. start out for free...prove yourself, focus on small drawdowns to build trust and keep friendship. 2. I then started to charge 20% of profits after achieving xx% growth. make it a good deal for them. the experience for you is worth millions.

i thing i will buy myself a beer for doing my homework on this one!:cool:

disagree..not trying to be mean...but the major indices did not move all that much.+/- 40 on the dow... they approached the day highs...but not much else. Even though iwas right...i lost money with LOUSY execution on my options.

absolutely....not that i am amy genius, but i was holding several dozen index puts into the announcement. it was a really logical response. 1. buy on the rumor, sell on the news-the markets had been going up for the last couple of weeks...and rallied late last week with the conclusion that...

that is a great idea to keep track of it on a website like that. I need to do the same thing.

i have been shorting real estate for the last 6 months...the boat has already left the harbor to some extent. many of thehome builders have already dropped significantly.

i dont see the problem directly based on your example. it is common for funds and broker dealers to hedge against movement their positions when entering or exiting large positions. If they know their activity is going to move the instrument, they find a derivative to hedge against it.
