You also know that he committed suicide at the end ? in 1940 I think.

For a quick profit. Way oversold.

I can buy any mutual fund that I want in my 401K account. Including trading stocks, ETF and buying options. I can buy bearish mutual funds if I want to short the market. I had to sign an agreement that I will be on my own if I want to go beyond my company's selection. I just pick good mutual...

It seems that majority are not active in their 401K account and I see their performance is better than those who are active. No even one person who is not actively trading in his 401K account has reported below 0%.

I am also sure 100% it will be down and 0% is left for being up but the probability of that 0% is the same as 100% :D

I maxed at 27% about a month ago but now down to 16.5%. All mutual funds. 60% international. Got out of oil sector in March which was a bad decision. I am getting hit by my real state mutual fund which is about 9% of my portfolio.

I agree with you. I just wanted to put 2 trade per week to clearly say that 401K account is different from regular account. Some traders trade 10 trade a day in their regular accounts and they may not be considered active trader compared to those who trade over 50 trades a day.

I know that 2007 is not over yet but 11 months is a good indication of the whole year. Note: By activley managing the account I mean at least 2 trades a week. Constant contributions to the existing funds in your account is not considered trading.

There was a program in NPR and they were interviewing Amazon's CEO on this product. One of the questions was that many attemps to sell similar products in the past have failed and why you think this time it will pan out and he a kind of dodged this question and did not respond.

This will be my last post here on this topic because I don't want to litter your journal and drag it into other topics. So if I have one million in my account and spend 10% of it to buy a position and sit 90% on cash because I can not find any other securities to buy ,2% stop loss would actually...

I also see some redundancy in your portfolio. XLNX and ALTR are both in the same narrow sector of programmable devices. IF one goes up or down, the other one will follow. You are short both of them. Either you will be stopped out in both of them or you will make a profit in both. In football...

I thought when they talk about 2% or 5% risk they mean 2% or 5% of the value of that position and not the value of the account. So for a 5 million account with 2:1 leverage and 20 equal positions, 5% risk would be 5% of 500,000= $25000. Since you are using leverage of 2, from $500,000 in each...

I just wanted to post the same topic. Good that in 2002 I got 5 year arm at 3.875%. Next August I will get the same rate in refinancing:D

You tell us to stay and you exit quietly? What kind of a leader you are on ET site?:D

Just look at Euro vs Dollar chart. From 1.15 to 1.5 So we can do the following math: $99 x 1.15/ 1.5 = $75.9 http://www.metaquotes.net/forex/eurusd/

Actually oil is at $60 per barrel now. It is Dollar that is using its value. I think Hallmark cards and books prices should change now. Instead of $3.25 USD or $4.75 CAD it should say $$3 CAD or $5.25 USD. Ok back to oil. Just buy oil with EURO and the price hike will magically go away.

I think tomorrow WB will close at $40 because of option expiry date. Monday it will start to drop again. I won't worry if it goes up a day or two. It is doomed to go down.

I think my "sticking like a glue" is working. I will ride it down to $35. It should happen in a month.

You may be right but I am not into timing into this stock. I have a good sense in finding stocks to short but I cover them fast. Last example was AMZN. I shorted at 87.17 and I posted a thread about that. It went up to 89 and then in down trend I covered at 87 because that 89 scared me. Just 3...

Started shorting at 40.25 and I will use it as a hedge for my other long position. I see it at 35 or lower in a month.
