    If You Trade One Instrument Only, How Do You Deal With This?

    Your posts contain a lot of errors. And after an eroreous hypothesis, you ask questions whose answers you could search out on google. Besides this you are a thread starter. do you feel it is neccesary to start a thread any time you have a new unthought out question? consider thinking using...

    I am getting my butt handed to me on a daily basis!

    The specific reason is that doing it manually imprints my mind (our collective minds in the trding room). You may have noticed that the TN effort is incomplete. We always have several in-force contexts we annotated. As I remember, the TN failed to handle degapping annotations...

    The Unmentioned Risk of Trading Too Small

    For your orientation (3M's), I would say right off that you will have to take on too many stocks in your portfolio. At 5%, you would have 20 different stocks to deal with. My limit is 12 and I have that because of the complexity of optimizing my positions. Originallly I put 25% into...

    When People Ask "What do you do for a living" What say you?

    In the SW, people just ask: What do you do?' Since I am old, I pause and twinkle a little. My initial answer is usually accepted. I say: "I do anything I want." An italian food warehouse had a "Feast" last Saturday. We were crunching away at six kinds of pre meal snacks that have some...

    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    Check in with your Johari window. One of the panes is cracked and needs to be made larger. Everyone has a collection of items entitled: "What I don't know that I don't know about myself." You could actully be a lot smarter than you type you are. So far you do not know that you do not...

    You may have missed the pumpkin bubble. The turkey sector and a little later the brass bell sector. Early January and mid Feb there is a double top for the pregnancy tester sector. Large caps have always been a winter thing. (see LL Bean)
