You said: A person who sold naked puts and did not cover before expiration would be assigned 1000 shares of FORD for $3/sh at a time when it was trading much less than that - an instant loss for him, so your statement implying he pocketed the put premiums without any offsetting loss is...

Again, thanks proving my previous point, you clearly don't know what you are talking about.

In the example you just described I would be happy because I just made a ton of money. I guess I still don't understand what you wanted Ameritrade to do differently - they could of either allowed your options to expire so you get nothing or they could exercise your options so you are...

Yes, you fooled me.

Its sounds like you don't understand the shorting process nor options very well. If they hadn't exercised your options (because they didn't have shares available to short) and instead let them expire you would have lost the whole $600. Is that your preference? They have no way of...

At what price are they forcing you to cover at? If they are doing it at market and you are short from $3 I don't see how that is a loss.

Get the card that matches the type of slot that your laptop has. ExpressCard and PCMCIA are not the same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExpressCard

On average, the monthly cost of the insurance premiums will exceed the payout you get each month from folks dying. Insurance companies are in the business of making money - this is no different than playing slots in Vegas, there is always the chance you might hit it big and walk away a...

Sorry for the tangent but since you brought it up....If you could buy life insurance on everyone in Denver would you? Unless you were planning on going on a mass-murder spree I'm pretty sure that you would spend far more in insurance premiums then you will collect from the few people that...

Why would you have emails on your machine that contain your "internet banking, trading passwords"? I do not know of any financial institutions that email you your passwords so unless you are emailing copies of your passwords around, that concern seems faulty. Also why do you assume that AV...

Its too bad that ET doesn't care to moderate threads properly. I clicked on this thread thinking it would be about mortgage rates...silly me.

Yea I agree. The 5-10% juice comes from uncorrelated futures trading (the same trading that he uses/used in his now closed original fund) - the combination of the two don't make a lot of sense to me. Seems like two kinds of investments that you would want to keep separate.

Not sure what your point is - he is TARGETING 5-10% outperformance not GUARANTEEING it. For a while he was able to achieve it, recently he has not. Wow, if only he had you around to point this out to him at the time. Thanks Mister 20-20 hindsight. Edit: I see all the ET wannabe lawyers and...

Many things on ebay are selling for prices well above historical norms. If you look at gift card auctions, you will find people selling gift cards at buy-it-now prices ABOVE the value on the card (example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230300293992) If you don't...

If you look at the chart, he was outperforming the EAFE from its inception in March until just recently when he began to underperform it severly causing them to become about equal (all earlier outperforming "gains" were erased). For the record, I'm not an investor in the IEP fund, just an...

A few of the things you listed above don't seem like particularly good ideas (raise taxes?!?) - sometimes doing nothing is the right move. The politicians that scare me are the ones that think that more gov't is the solution to every problem when usually its exactly the opposite.

If you read the description of the EIP fund then you would know its objectives. http://www.schindlertrading.com/index.php?page=trading_program Its really irrelevant what investors would demand of other funds/managers. He created a fund that is primarily designed to track the EAFE index so...

Do you realize the post you are responding to is 7 months old?

As long as we are re-opening this long dormant thread...his new fund started pretty much at the worse possible time, right before some of the worst declines in the major indexes it tracks. I wonder how long it will last - with the current drawdown (~30%) Aaron won't be getting anything in...
