    "I'm new to trading, what is the most pertinent question I should ask?"

    You asked a good question. How can I protect my capital at all costs? Is one of the most important questions a new trader can ask imho. I've been trading (sometimes more active than other times)for a while, and the importance of this has only been seeping through recently.

    Interactive doesn't have any NHTC :( I think their short list isn't what it used to be

    JJ, Interactive had some on at least 2 occasions (24/11 and 27/11). But it was on a first-come first-serve basis. And I was too late.

    Oh well At least I got an interesting conversation going :) BTW: I'm going to discuss this strategy (among others) with a fund next Wednesday. Any bootcamp-style cramming I should do beforehand? Thanks.

    I know some guys who have run 100M with a somewhat similar strategy leveraged x5 and hedged wirh futures. And they averaged 13.2% p.a. (after their 2 and 20) since 2008

    Newwurld, This will probably sound like a stupid question. Are you saying the futures will drift upwards? I've never held futures overnight Ok, This will probably work better with a basket of high dividend paying stocks, but then the hedge isn't as good

    Hi GAT, I agree, the title was a bit click-baity. I was afraid that I wouldn't get any responses, what with christmas eve coming up and all. I have to say that I don't really understand your response, but I'll re-read it a few times. Let me give the example in broad strokes. I'll do the more...

    Good analysis Daal. I'm sad to say that I'm not short KBIO. Every time Interactive emailed me that they had shares, they were gone in a second.

    How much margin would be needed for this strategy?

    Thanks again Robert, Early days, but when I get there it's probably better to use a more local prime broker. I know some people who use SG Newedge and are happy with their services.
