We're gonna fly on monday b/c of the end of quarter markup. I covered all my shorts on the close. I think that after that, we start to go quite a bit lower again. Looking at the vix, it's quite amazing that we couldn't make a new high for the month even on a -300 day. That shows you that the...

Aaron, I'm doing my returns now finally myself as I have a few extra hours this weekend. Does it matter at all how long it's been between periods that I'm calculating between when I had inflows or outflows? Sometimes it's as little at like 10 days. Can I just use that previous % calculation that...

These articles are retarded and one - sided. Firstly, the issue of investor contact and secrecy, I dare you to call up janus and ask to talk to the head of one of the mutual funds. You'll just get some college intern on the line who'll talk to you out of some pamphlet. You can call up any hedge...

This should be good.

Hey, there's no civilization down here in new orleans, and I still pay taxes for them to route raw sewage through my neighborhood in open sewers. I really think my brother has the right idea by playing the ponies. I may have made a few more bux than him this year, but he hasn't paid a cent of...

Aaron, congrats on a really amazing July. Don't worry about Aug. It's behind us now. I know hardly anyone who made much money last month. It was way too thin in equities at least. I assume it was very "summery" in the futs as well. Keep up the good trading. Thanx again for everything. I'm still...

ETF's because they can. I have found that the amex is a far more fair place to do business. But that's just me. In the end, there are fair and unfair specialists. I don't think it's limited to the exchange.

Yeah, I thought it was dead too. In any case, GNP is alive and well. I made 218.5% last year trading off of it. This year, I'm up well over 200% in the part of my account that is devoted to GNP. I am finding however, that some of the bounces lately are less agressive, but that's just a seasonal...

These guys completed the trisecta. Cable down, DSL down, now IB. I'm checking my f*cking quotes on a palm pilot.

I just finished the companion. It's worth a read, but too much of a repitiion of the first.

This blows. What gives?

deeman is definately #1, Aaron #2 (just b/c he answered every damn one of my never ending questions on how to start a hedge fund) Marketsurfer saved me days of trouble and tons of money. I thank him endlessly as well. Finally nitro. He's my other partner in crime here... lol

Honest to god, I have no idea at all about how the movements of rates and SHY work. You will indeed get your money on maturity though, but SHY works forever and you never have to redeem it. My point was that you could loose some of your principle. I suggest you do a bit more research before...

I predict that by doing a search of GREAT NEW PATTERN (GNP) on this site, will make you wealthy if you follow it. That's my main strategy. Please stop posting useless banter on this site though guys.

Good point nitro. I should listen to what I say more and follow what I do less sometimes. I'm sure I'd dig myself less graves, or would that be shallower graves? Lets just say that I don't always follow my own rules. That's when I get into the most trouble...

Absolutely nothing compelling. Rather boring idea honestly. I believe though that these guys will one day control the home improvement industry. It's just cheap. It's trading now at about 4-5 X this year's cash flow, and about 2X next year's cash flow.

Rates go up and SHY drops fast. Rates go down, SHY goes up a bit. I would personally rather be short SHY for a long term play. I wouldn't mind paying 4% a year if I thinkt hat SHY could drop 25% in the next year. A 1% rise in interest rates to 5% is a 25% move in rates and would equate to a...

I've been buying a few k a week just like lobster said. I personally have 130k now, and I've been able to purchase about another 50k for various friends/family who have also gone over my calculations and agree that I'm right.

Heh- I just noticed you here so I'll respond a bit. I don't know if SHY is in your best interest. Your interest income will still be meager. You will probably pay more on a daily basis in slippage/commissions than you'll make on interest. As per THV, if you guys all rush in at once....... I...
