Looks like current inflation is around 1.3%. Those preferreds look pretty attractive.

What's Canadian CPI running at? I suspect your inflation rate is a few ticks above the US.

Thanks. So what are the current rates on them now?

I track NL's for both. So I have the USD/CAD which confirmed negative on june 19th and the CAD/USD futures which confirmed positive on June 19th.

I have no idea what those are. Can you share? Thanks.

My USD/CAD confirmed on june 19th, same time as my CAD/JPY. USD/CAD is +12 right now for me. The two best pairs have been the Peso and the Loony number line wise and sure enough they have had the smoothest trends.

Then why do they keep blaming weather everytime they have a bad earnings report? LOL. You can't control weather.

Anyone watching the loony lately?

I agree with Sig. And that disruptor is Elon Musk. Commercial air travel will not even exist in the future in my opinion. I think it's still far off but we are heading there. And yes, air travel is very elastic and we have seen that every time airfares tick up. In fact, even commercial air...

Can I ask you to stop posting on this thread. You are taking this thread off topic which has rarely happened in the last 8 years. I'll ask nicely. Then I'll get the moderators.

What on God's green earth are you talking about? Start a fund dude. No one will see your strategy. LOL. Better yet, trade it on your own and make billions. Who is talking about sharing? Reach out to Robert Morse on ET and tell him I sent you. He helps raise capital for traders.

It's not a jab at you. No trader with a real provable edge has a capital problem. ZERO. Does not exist. Even if they can't raise capital for whatever reason, the very fact they have a real quantifiable edge means they will be able to earn the capital on their own. This is a statement of...

People with real edges don't have capital problems. They have tax problems.

I like R but that's because I learned R in grad school. There are thousands of free packages in R, some which are highly specialized to finance and trading. I think some people prefer the syntax in Python over R. R takes some getting use to at first. Both R and Python can do the same things...

What am I? Chopped liver? :)

Did you read his data analysis book or the systematic trading book?

Seems like an interesting guy. The book looks like a good read.

Please guys, when you run tests, make sure you are testing your ideas against a null alternative. It doesn't even have to be the same stock, it can be the S&P 500 if you are testing stocks. Alternatively you can run stock XYZ over the performance of the ES and use the sharpe as the output.

In order to test this, you have to account for some alternative. In other words, had I randomly bought that same security over the 3 year period, what were the returns and are your results statistically significantly different then the null comparison. Otherwise the results are meaningless.

A lot of us do this for a living. And many here don't but still want to learn or maybe pass the time. Are you saying you are trying to "raise" capital on ET? Or do you mean gather intellectual capital?
