That is before commissions so the 10% would actually be less. The simple backtest I did was buy cash close, sell next day cash open. Did not dive any deeper into it then that; don't see any reason to unless indicators and MA's are used. At that point the strategy becomes market timing.

Date this buy the close sell the open strategy back to beginning Dec 2010 through yesterday close. Wish I could go back further but my limited back testing ability does not allow me to. In any case, this buy the cash close sell the cash open yields 10% total return assuming one is laying down...

He's doing it to be annoying. Wasted space in this thread but I am sure he is getting a kick out of it when he gets a response. Probably empowers him for some odd reason; to each his own.

Perfecto Rishshaw! Just sold out of the other 2. Please please please keep your recommendations coming. I am actually starting to believe that you are a great contrarian indicator.

Did the exact opposite of what you suggested. Bought 4 1340 puts at 8.5 per. Just covered 2 at 9.5 and offering out other 2 at 10.5. Your system is a great contrarian indicator. Thanks Rickshaw! Please keep the posts coming!

Nice Macho.

Could definitely happen but 1350 will be a tough one.

Now now. Rickshaw is a big boy, I'm sure he can speak for himself. Come on Rickshaw, surprise us.

Curious how that worked out for you from Friday cash close to Monday cash open. You might want to update your model. On second thought why don't you post some entry / exits to prove your so called edge. I know you are just trying to be a you know what but your wasting space in this thread...

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-05/greek-leaders-must-respond-to-troika-monday.html Lol. Sounds like Greek politicians were trying to buy more time. Time to put up or shut up. Serves em right.

Another week goes by and another without resolution. Now they don't want to give up one of two holiday bonuses and reduce min wage. AS if they have a leg to stand on. For the private sector to accept 3.6% on 30 year bonds in addition to the "50%" haircut with a country that has a mentality...

Pretty presumptuous of you but hey your entitled to your opinion. Sure 2008 was a good year. Guys I traded with hit it out of the park (20 of them to be exact). Myself and 2 others are the only ones left out of that group. Since u sound like you are a stat guy given your backtesting comment...

Have not posted here in a while. If it runs it runs. Weeklies are relatively inexpensive right now. Calm before the storm? Who knows.

I guess that is why they refer to it as "soft" default. In my world a default is a default. It's bs what they are doing.

Right, never said that bond buying is risk free. Why do you think there are cds's? They are being strong armed into taking the deal to keep the financial system from collapsing. It's bs. Greece and other euro countries have been living on borrowed time for years. It's like a drug addict...

What is next, Portugal?
