2 other big differences between the I Bonds and TIPS. Tips have fluctuating principal. I Bonds do not. Secondly, I Bonds have a $30k purchase limit per person per year, TIPS do not.

Same problem as prior % polls. How will you define, in this case, the % return for a prop trader whose trading is based on varying buying power and not an asset base?

That's funny. So, how might you be able to help someone in that situation? Edit: Ahh, now I c. You're a sales trader.

Guys, DVP is used every day by MANY funds. It's not a "strategy" to be termed legal or illegal. Delivery Versus Payment is how those using prime brokers generally function. You do your trading wherever you choose to execute (and you have a DVP agreement with them), and your clearing...

ANY trader that consistently profits is an exception to the norm. :)

Simple: Nothing, with only that information.

WELL THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!!!

As my reference stated, "successful traders". I get your joke, and ye, haha. But in all seriousness I don't mean that their "system" is utterly feel based, but rather they trade based on a strategy used by others, but inject their superior market "feel" into the decision making process, as...

For many successful traders, their edge is their "FEEL".

This is like asking "how do you know exactly when to buy xyz and when to sell xyz." The ones who are very good at it, are not likely to spill too much, b/c picking the stocks to watch is just as critical as timing decisions you make. You choose crappy stocks, there will be little movement off...

We're out of the office, enjoying life a little. Call it "early retirement", for a couple days.

I feel like we're being done a favor to receive them anything prior to April 15th.

That first post smells.

NYSE can't eliminate NX. The only questions regarding NX for the Exchange are how and whether to expand Auto-ex. Uptick rule is another story. But one that is market wide; not specific to NYSE.

WHile I see how you arrive at your numbers (25/1000---280...)I believe your conclusion is off. First, if you read over to the YTM (yield-to-maturity), which seems more on target. Second IF it were 10% then this would not be an infrequent discussion. Everyone and their mother would be raving...

I agree, however, in regards to FEEL, some just have it, and some just don't. And seeing many new traders come and go, I find that the importance of market feel for discretionary traders is way underated.

No degree. No regrets.

It's like poker. They don't show their hand unless they want people to see it. Usually your hand is hidden, but sometimes your hand shows, either by accident, or purposely. Learning to read the tape often gives you the ability to see the hidden hand.
