We all know that the Republican Nominee for the 2012 Presidential election will have formidable business chops: Established in 1984, Bain Capital is one of the world's leading private investment firms managing approximately $65 billion in assets under management. Our affiliated advisors...

You folks never gave the Tea Party it's due - and it cost you an election, and elections have consequences. If the Tea Party's actions cause that result to get reversed in Nov. 2012, then you can have your due. Having complete control of all three branches of government for 2-1/2 years did...

Hard to say, some are engineers. T. Boone is a geologist from OSU. Geologist with an MBA might get your foot in the door as a quant.

I thought the same thing at first blush, but after reading about it in detail my conclusion is now wavering towards the possibility that it might very well be very smart and very schrewd political maneuvering. There are about 30 Dems representing moderate to slightly conservative districts who...

Dude, you have exactly three posts total on your ET membership. And they are all here. Look at your post history. Apparently, you do not care to discuss trading. 99% of my posts are out in the trading threads talking about trading - specifically, spread trading. See for yourself...

1. In terms of risk, over a nineteen year career I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen a spread market have a greater trading range than the flat price for one of the individual leg components - each of those instances was in Natural Gas. 2. On a conceptual level, spreads...

Markets always seem that way. Only reason I'm in the space is because the energy spreads move smoother than the outright flat price. No way on God's green earth I could ever trade energy directionally. Nope.

And that is a fact. True so true. How are those derivations working out in the trading world ? Curious about that. Your posts are striking.

Why are you quoting me ? I have absolutely no relationship to anyone you describe in your posts, I have no relationships or memberships in any of the internet forums you describe, you know nothing about me, and you have never spoken to any of my clients. Creepy, dude. Really.

Is this a preview of your math skills and knowledge of spread trading ?

Oh, this is rich. Please favor us with said 'math'.

We model and trade for freshly developed trends that show some confirmation, hit rate between 55-75% depending on the client - some are much more selective than others. I have a client who went live on March 01, 2011 with a $25K account. He has returned 45% net on that as of June 24. In...

Look at what the Dems have for MILF bait:

Agree. I think that the biggest positive for using a very good technical system designed specifically for spreads would be to broaden your exposure to several market spaces like energy, interest rates, softs, metals, etc. on a simultaneous basis. Are there fundamental interest rate and ag...

Not yes, but oh hell yes. Technical analysis, whether for trend or some other moniker, is most effective for spreads when it has been designed for the species. Spreads definitely have different price and volume behaviors than flat price outright instruments, and need to be modelled accordingly...

Still another one dimensional soul who thinks his way is the only way.

Surf, honestly, I have been trading since 1991 and making a living at it. Not FU money (to me at least), but a very good living. A hell of a lot more than an Engineer. You are going to wear them. Any way you look at it. And every trade I put on I can always find some imperfection with it...

Oh, you know when you're in the midst of a trending market. Stupidly obvious in terms of technicals and which side the initiating order flow is on. You have to understand and then accept the nature of the corrections and retracements. In that sense, trend following requires 'fading' of a...
