    Non public REIT

    That is just wrong. Some brokers are solicitating investors to invest in small oil drilling businesses. I always advise my friends not to get into this kind of business.... Private REIT may be somehow safer because of the registration.

    You can listen to a new Madonna song, learn to sing it; sing to your friend; your friend smart enough to learn to sing it too, and to the next friend and more. I guess that is not thief.

    You are just wrong. This is why we have the VPN. ISPs track all internet traffic. They know what sites you go and what you download. Nothing to hide.

    Trying to Gauge Options Trading Strategy Success

    Trying to Gauge Options Trading Strategy Success

    For selling covered calls, you'll need to calculate your opportunity cost of losing your upside. 95% success rate may be misleading. In a bull market, selling puts may just mask your risk. "Trend (Market) is your best friend". So if you believe the current trend is to continue, you can...

    Non public REIT

    You can do whatever you like to do and whatever you believe. But your internet provider can record your traffic and they could send you a notice for copyright infringement. The author may not get to you, but that does not mean you are doing it legally. Maybe some people still remember the...

    Retailers set to raise prices as shipping, commodity costs soar

    Exactly. It rebounds from the near term low. Maybe just technical correction, or bounce.

    Profit-taking advice

    This is a rather broad topics and there is no perfect answer. Some traders set profit target to take profit, such as 5%, 7% or 10%, regardless of the market. Some use technical signals such as moving average and other technical momentum signals. Some add volume and money management into...

    Cattle Rancher loses $200M of Tyson's Money Trading Futures

    In Western countries, the "long jail time" for such crimes is likely 2-5 years. Very lax legal system.

    Cattle Rancher loses $200M of Tyson's Money Trading Futures

    This sounds like another Greensill. Anyone is doing its job for the due intelligence? No one else to believe. For a commodity buyer, you better send someone to the ranch to look at the cattle you are buying. I'm sure Costco would send some inspectors to the ranches and farms to inspect the...

    Hedge Funds See Something in the Reflation Trade They Don't Like

    Here is what one of the large hedge funds has been doing. Beaten-down stocks like retail, airlines and banks. Energy should be part of that too. Clearly BofA research missing the marks. Their info could be outdated. A clutch of hedge funds including Maverick Capital has ridden a surge in...
