Even Alex Jones has been level headed with criticism for the Health Plan. He had a list of about 20 shocking things that I had no clue about that were in the proposal.

I'm referring to the real big boys - zero correlation to equities people. They would have <b>very little</b> equity related performance to report because equities represent a small portion of AUM for these guys.

That sounds like a daytrading firm telling you how to trade. Short tern moving averages don't work well for anything if you are trying to trade consistently with even a bit of leverage, otherwise anyone with a basic system plugged into the Market would make money.

If you're comparing movement of capital from the Nikkei to the Dow, Global Macro people call that capital flight. It moves quickly, and chases returns... in any asset class.

Can you explain how to turn your GARCH data into a profitable trading strategy? I've tried all types of volatility measures to get an edge, but it seems its more important in how you implement the strategy of taking the Garch measures and generate the various trading signals from it.. and...

Anybody how makes a generic comment about papertrading being useless obviously has no technical background. Most models in systematic trading are so mathematically complex you could never do them manually, let alone test them on historical data. Nowadays, only a fool would trade without...

One word- interventionism Without interventions.. prices will behave "naturally" - in a way that trend followers (I mean the big guys like MAN, Bluecrest, GLG, Dunn, JWH, and others etc) can profit from. When you print massive amounts of money in a synchronized way, globally, you make...

Copernicus- I agree. There is no other "China Logic" to explain their irrational behavior other than their propensity to be poor gamblers, unless of course this is just an attempt to rid their economy of dollars and build and buy whatever they can in order to get rid of what they may think is a...

I'ts a rarity on CNBC - somehow tells how it really is ... the music was definitely trying to hum him off the show today. Its the perfect cover for Bernanke. He can go into hiding now and say - we give u.s banks the option to set their own interest rates... which is the perfect excuse at a...

Long Volatility shops have already had a 50% DD this year. Mind you they were up 200%+ in 2008. I think the volatility trade is profitable in 2010.. however, I think expressing that view through equity and index options is healthier than a VIX standalone bet. But I'm a directional...

I'm assuming pros would always hedge with the underlying...

The only logical conclusion I can draw from all this is that America needs to invent a new drug fast, and begin dispensing it immediately.

They charge big money to stay in those in Quebec.

Reminds me of a credit seeking friend of mine - telling me a story at the bar the other day, some kind of lame duck theory that unless I pay for everything on credit, I won't have any credit in the event the I need it. It's something only indebted people can conjure up to hide their foolish...
