How about a word like "galactic." Something big. You might need it anyway. The term "global" that is hot right now will sound so yesterday, when the Chinese start mining the moon.

Having worked for small businesses and been involved with small charities most of the last 35 years, my experience has been that diversity DOES work. People with different backgrounds and viewpoints sometimes see things that others don't, and they often help to bring in business or funding from...

Thank you, that was fun.

I believe they agree to patronize each other. When doing business with someone, for many of us it is based on the person or the business and their reputation and communications with us, not on their race, religion, etc. But not everyone does business this way. White, religion, no...

Well whose bonds do they still rate AA?

How about some OTM calls on gold?

He invested in a private equity thing--sounds like it was a private REIT. The REIT is still in business but has never returned a dime to him in about 10 years. Won't return his calls, etc. It looks like FINRA and SEC are mainly ways to complain about your broker--that isn't the problem...

I can't comment on the UK; I'm in the US. I work in the pharma industry--insider trading is possible for me on a daily basis. I could have been a zillionaire by now if I did it. If you figure you won't get caught, you are most likely right. But the problem arises if someone complains...

If your underlying is fairly liquid, you can also buy some deep in the money, near term long calls. By choosing deltas very close to one, it is not too hard to get 5-6x leverage. May be somewhat less risky than synthetics; you don't exactly lose dollar for dollar with the calls, and you don't...

Looks like you are a trader of long ITM calls?

Finally got out a few days ago. Ended up with 9% return for about 5 months, including distributions. Not terribly exciting, but bonds rarely are.

I can hardly watch those shows. I get so upset when they tell the people their little piece of junk is worth 30 thousand dollars, and then they reply, "Oh, but I would never sell it--it belonged to my mother." I would have hit the bid and before the estimator finished the sentence.:D

Writing. Write clinical study reports, part of new drug applications to FDA. Have time to trade in the mornings, on the west coast here.

You are not where you started. You have more knowledge and experience. Can you figure out how to benefit from it?

I left medicine 10 years ago for similar reasons and I have not been sorry one day since. My life is better and I get a lot more sleep. Good luck to you. Have you considered posting your system on collective2.com? They track most of the things you are interested in, and a lot of other...

He is such a crack up.

$700 for house, including property taxes, insurance and repairs $600 for utilities and cable $200 for gardener $600 for clothing, shoes, etc. $1700 for household goods and food, including eating out $600 for gas and auto expenses $900 for medical insurance and expenses $1800 for fun...

What's in the thermos??

Not all systems require intuition. Trading can be art or science. Discretionary vs. mechanical. Different people are comfortable with each. Or it can be a combination.
