No electricity either, I heard...

We just crossed the strike... What's the plan?

Well, there you 'ave it...

Ouch...

10-yr note yield sure as hell did NOT go up on Friday... It did the exact opposite, in fact.

For basic topics, probably Hull, Natenberg, etc etc. For more sexy stuff, Euan Sinclair's books are the bee's knees and the dog's bollocks both.

You should read some books... You may find some food for thought and get some sense of how to go about obtaining answers to your questions.

It's not leverage, in the conventional sense of the word. The index is the benchmark, which is why there's broad correlation. However, the fund also seems like it's been able to outperform its benchmark. Whether this is due to manager skill, extra factor risk or otherwise is unclear. One...

API stats are almost as important as the EIA ones nowadays... The only other regular one that I can think of is the Baker Hughes rig count, which comes out on Fridays.

100% nominal returns? Easy, Venezuelan equities will give you that and more, with some regularity. Not sure how much you can invest, but 50 - 100mil should be doable. There are some little things you might not like, such as getting paid in bolivars, but why worry about insignificant details...

In theory, there is no limit. In practice, there are all sorts of limits.

Cramer, and many others like him, have much less to do with finance than with entertainment, as the others have said. Why anyone should ever think about taking him seriously is somewhat beyond me.
