I agree with you in principle. If you love your nation and wish to fight for change you have my full respect. I live by the credo "If you are a capitalist and you're not an opportunistic egoist you're cheating yourself and your children". Sometimes, there is a fine line between individual...

Hmmm There must be some loophole. I know somebody with a Canadian passport that now lives outside of Canada. He was able to keep his Canadian passport and does not have to pay taxes in Canada, as he "severed all ties" in Canada. I.e. no more bank accounts, no credit cards, no car, no real estate...

Instead of whining about bailouts, tax dollars and politicians, you can live large in several Caribbean or European nations and pay little to nil (capital gains) taxes derived from trading -- as long as you're willing to surrender your American citizenship, accept snobbish aristocrat neighbors...

I'm trading a basket of 50 small cap stocks (R2000 components) and hedge 1:1 with Russell 2000 futures on a Dollar volume basis. That captures the relative under/outperformance of my 50 stock basket against the R2000. Careful with "market neutral". There's Dollar neutral, beta neutral and God...

Wow, you're already down 20% on your trade. Nice call! Now average down into a losing positions and pray the trade eventually goes your way. Keep up the gambling.

Keep picking up pennies in front of a steamroller with your contrarian "average into losers until they turn around" strategy.

Whats your next "buy point" - when you average down into a losing position as usual?

No more laughing about "all the putz that bought puts"??? You will no go through the hard lesson of learning that its much harder to gain 100% just in order to get back to break even after letting a 10% loss become a 50% loss. 10% loss = 11% gain needed 50% loss = 100% gain needed 80%...
