    Aaron chat

    I've thought about how I could face my partners with a loss. The thing I figured was that if you can face it, they should be able to also because they should be on the same page (understand the risk, your possible drawdown, etc.). All these things need to be clear to both you and your silent...

    Aaron chat

    I agree. Great chat and thanks for the helpful advice. Regarding your question, I was about to post myself on Cogenthedge.com also, but changed my mind. I've already got a few close family and friends investors in my fund and I figure I actually want to keep it that way. I basically...

    $800 to 350 million in 2 weeks trading.

    Much easier ways to make $350M without risk of getting caught if you truly know the future. But it was funny reading...

    Trading Business

    If you're going to be accepting fees or any type of compensation besides a free dinner, you may have to structure an entity which isn't difficult. Since its close family and friends, less than 20, and sounds like you will have few problems (ie. arbitration), then a simple LLC might do it...

    IB/Datek Schedule D maker

    Is it just me, or does any other user get extremely paranoid typing their username and password into these "new sharewares." The only one I trust and use is Medveds Quotetracker... ...am I being paranoid here?

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    There's no doubt that he was on the wrong side this past week. The point he was making with his options was that it was "defined risk" (limited loss via puts) and that they were out a few months hopefully giving him enough time as he always says his problem is one of "timing." I didn't...

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    Well, Todo wasn't the only one to completely fight this move. The 2002 Market Timer of the Year, Michael Gibbons, called for a price collapse this week. He was calling for a crash at SP 790 and kept fighting the rally. He had been hot on all of last year calling almost all the trading...

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    ...And he was looking to slip the last arm into his bear suit today, to go from a 75% short conviction to a potential 100% short conviction. Who knows...

    Is Capital Punishment ever justified?

    On the basis of your productivity argument, its completely untrue and wrong. It simply costs more to house and board those types of prisoners. You can easily have someone on the outside do whatever they do on the inside for minimum wage. So, no, from that viewpoint, more is not...

    How are we going to take Bagdhad?

    All the civilians will be armed. Its a city full of homes and buildings. The only way I see it, without the US taking any severe casualties, is either there will be a long drawn out standoff or the US will have to go in and bomb the city. Neither is good, and I would think the US would...

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    Actually, to me, it seemed that the last 5 weeks the markets did nothing and bottomed at 790 he was making great intraday calls. Slipping appendages in and out intraday and it was pretty accurate as I've been tracking him since the site. He did miss the rampage off 790 and pressed the 2nd...

    What subscription/newsletter service is worth your money?

    I agree with you. I'm a subscriber to Minyanville and it's my guess he made alot of the calls when he was at Cramer Berkowitz. I don't know if its the restrictions or what, but Cramer can't seem to trade worth a hoot short term. Interestingly, Todo just went to 75% short side conviction...

    What subscription/newsletter service is worth your money?

    If you don't mind my asking, could you explain why? Also, I checked out the site. It provides his track record only up to 4/11/01. Such an outdated track record makes me skeptical, in that you can easily create a system generating those results and fit it to historical data. Sounds like...

    What subscription/newsletter service is worth your money?

    As a trader, I like to keep my costs down, but obviously a subscription to something profitable can easily pay for itself. What subscriptions are _consistently_ worth their price and content? Not just because it made one good trade for you that paid for itself. I'm not referring to data...

    A contract on Saddam

    Yah, it looks like the March contracts are half the price of the April, May, and June contracts which are all the same. Looks like people expect maybe a 50/50 chance he will be ousted by this Fri and near certainty it will happen by April.

    How did you trade this 60 handle rally off of SP 790?

    It caught me by surprise. I sold calls to offset my long position, so I collected premium but limited my upside, expecting this rally to not have gone this far. Yes, there must be more options, but for all intents and purposes which one suits you best?

    Today's Cancelled Trades <question>

    Saw the glitch and my first inclination was that Saddam had surrendered or something. The ES March was hitting absurdly high numbers like 900+ on thin volume. Didn't even try to click the bid or ask as I had no idea what was going on. After seeing that no news or indices was confirming I...

    Cramer says buy now

    He makes multiples calls multiple times a day on multiple subjects. The proof is in the pudding, how's his "Action Alert Plus" Portfolio doing?

    Street Insight & Doug Kass

    Well, here's his post from this morning with the European bourses cascading lower. This is what it feels like to be on margin and betting on a bottom. Hope and sleepless nights - you might get lucky but this is what you're in store for. He's got alot of pain tolerance? Maybe but his clients...
