That's like judging an engineer on how well (or whether) he tunes his car. Some CFAs *might* trade, but it's a whole lot more broad than that.

Yeahhhhhhh, my top side got a thorough re-working over the last day. I *completely* sold off my Oct27 call positions entirely ("Good call!") I bought back some Oct31 2690 $5-wides, for 10¢, but didn't bother to buy them all back. Now they're sitting at 80¢ -- right where I sold 'em. So I...

When you calculate reward-to-risk for a trade, you are doing marginal analysis. When you calculate reward/day-to-risk, you are doing even better. Google Al Sherbin on the tastytrade videos FMI, and wish like hell he still had that bully pulpit.

I generally cringe when I see alphabets/initials following someone's name, but I have looked the CFA materials over, and it's a (truly) fine program -- top notch in every respect , and I've seen a good deal of it. I would certainly rank it higher than all-but-the-best MBA programs. (My bona...

...And with today's drop in vol, a great time. SPX, at least. Possibly ES. Others??

As soon as you take a (FA) fee, you're a pro.

In IB-land, the only thing that matters is net liq. -- ignore the myriad other titles, headings, sub-headings, etc. If you're going to sell options, get VERY FAMILIAR with your portfolio page -- have it set to order your inventory by expiry, make sure that "Options" appears on your (portfolio...

is resistance at the height of the bar or the candle wick? "Height of the candle body" for me -- if the price can't be held, that weakens its importance in that particular time-frame -- which is the whole concept of "support / resistance"... Long wicks (on a properly set-up graph) should loudly...

That was so awesome, I just thought I'd sign on, repost it, and say, "That was so awesome!" :thumbsup: So there. :p

ES tipping up on volume. TRIN points down. (Since Euro-close)0 Bottom for the day? Finish 10 up at 2560? (I just sold a Friday $5-wide at 2560, so while heavy at 2545, I'm squeezed either way.)

It's called Marginal Analysis -- marginal revenue marginal production marginal utility It's ruled neoclassical microeconomics for the last 150 years. see, for example, Marshall; Jevons; Ely; Samuelson; Friedman; et. al.

==[...+Mortgages+Durables+HousingPrices+NewHomeSales....] "Good News" is *definitely* Bad News, once again. (That, and the Taylor Rule(r) coming to the 'fore.) Down, doobie-do, down. Down.

Is that with or without an imputed cost of medicine? :wtf::(:mad:

Lots. I think NG is 1000:1? I fergit.

I will admit that I find my day is better -- my world, brighter -- when I skip over LL's "posts".

Derivatives typically are 100:1. Margin at 4:1. Tax structures involve leverage of t:1 where, if you make an investment of a dollar, then you can lever t back to you. (Like the old joke,..... "OMG!!! Look at these credit card bills!!!" 'But Honey!!! Look how much I saved!' )

That's because the consumer of that insurance is you. "You" consume medical services, but (in the U.S.) it's been 30+ years since you paid the doctor. Transparent fees and a'la carte pricing; no treble-damages on malpractice; no employer-related insurance (i.e., recognize "insurance benefits"...

I *literally* laughed out loud. That was great.
