If I recall, back in March of so, the Economist had an article describing entire "towns" and communities of new built up houses that were empty. People having to drive 10 minutes through mazes of empty homes to get to a corner store... kind of a haunting precedent for what could happen in Spains...

You're not going to retire wealthy at all with 60% in bonds. The bond market will be shit for the next 5-10 years in my opinion. I say go for 60% stocks and 40% in money market or some kind of dividend paying instruments. Try earning 15% or more a year by picking either select stocks or high...

maybe they were writing options.

The funny part is the questions people ask Mike at the end of the video. "can this be automated?" is one funny one. These people are supposed to be professional investors hes speaking too. Clearly they aren't.

I don't care about put call parity. The fact is fundamentally it either goes to $10 or $30. Obviously it may lag on its way to $30 and the August call may not achieve the kind of profit I suggest. But to play both sides when one side is more in your favour suggest more an obsession with being...

I would buy 1 call in this case. A $20.00 call looks fine to me. Breakdown of why I would only buy a call: $2.50 for the call $3.50 for the put August expiry Downside target: $10.00 Upside target: $30.00 gain on upside $10-3.50-2.50 = $4.00 gain on downside...

excellent post. I concur.

stockpickr.com supports canadian and us stocks. You can create a portfolio and it tracks your performance. The tracking is not that great but if its just amateur investing it shouldnt be a problem.

Because they are the ones on the phone promoting it.

Yes, Alexander Vinokourov of Kazakstan from Team Astana blood doped and is now out of the tour. Borat would be upset! This means he injected someone elses blood into him to pump him up full of extra hemo before his time trial win. Rasmussen is from Denmark. Interestingly, mountain bikers...

Kind of pointless keeping it there... You are probably right. Good for locals, bad for foreigners.

An Estonian buddy of my set up a company recently, and pays zero tax supposedly. Sounds nice to me.

Tell me how you avoid the government taking all your money. I lived there in 2001 and they were very good at keeping your money.

% of your capital to use to buy contract = Buyprice/(Stop Size or Volatility); for volatility use ATR or Stdev for your timeframe.

Good book eh.

Ask if anyone is leasing space here.
