I was responding to Millionaire's quote of 60/40 split.

Sounds like a pretty good deal...for YOU !

You need better advice, not to hard to put together the portfolio I mentioned in post #5. A diversified yield oriented portfolio does have to equate with speculation.

@HappyTrader ....since bond prices are quoted in yield in the industry the proper/ fair price would be in line with similar listings with the same characteristics including Interest rate of the coupon, credit quality of the issuer and maturity. If this yield is higher (price lower) or visa...

@Steve Alexander just out of couriosity, are these credit spreads ?

While you can set up a fixed income/yield portfolio with a combination of HY, REITS, MLP's, etc to generate 6% cash flow it would have a much higher risk profile than say a 5 yr laddered AAA corp bond port. (I think that was Visaria's point). So even though the FI has risk, using the concept...

no, trading is not a zero some game. (X some commod markets).

ok, starting to smell some BS now.

@JackRab .......??? The OP states it doesen't work for him, not me. I'm not calculating anything.

@smallcapgrowth ...... Ok, let me try and be constructive. Your system with risk/reward of 1.25/2 obviously dosen't work on a net basis when cmn, fees, etc are included. So, you did not anticipate the fees, not the first trader ever to leave something out of the equation when developing a...

I can't even begin to imagine where BTC options fall on the risk spectrum. but each to their own, buyer beware.

Can you split the bid/ask ?! Ha !

I guess I mis read your multiple post along the lines of the one above "and how is that different than what the fed does these days". I trust BTC as a speculative investment vehicle. Think it has a long way to go as a currency in terms of stability, a store of value, and security. But, you are...

@SunTrader ...trying to get your point...but...you have repeatedly compared BTC to USD From the standpoint that since the Fed has had such easy monatary policy for so long the USD has no fund value just like BTC. Where I differ is that you are comparing ECONOMIC POLICY as related to the...

Question for those knocking MACD...granted it does not work well in a ranging market but I only look for trends that have started or are continuing. If you look at the up turn in XLE in late Aug or the last 3 trend changes in XLY I traded ATM options profitably off the MACD signal....why such...

@ggelitetrader000 you asked if "anyone has been successfully trading this ?" In my trading world success equates to profit. further more just21 had some good points. If you are going to ask a question on a forum loose the "wtf" attitude when someone takes the time to respond.

@Pekelo..hey I actually agree with you for once ! I thought one of the pro's of BTC over fiat was lack of government interference/influence ?? so.....what happened ?

I think there may be a few more red bars on the chart !

Yes, exactly what I look for in a stable, store of value currency.

@globalarbtrader ok, at least I'm not alone. @Sprout I enjoy reading your posts and I think there is probably some good info in them, but wow, very esoteric !
