No, I don't set any goals. I look for opportunities. They are either there or they are not. It's like anything else in life. I can't make opportunities suddenly appear just because I want them to be there. You can't impose your will on the market like you can on a trumpet or your GPA. The...

Bobby, let me address just this statement: "Why will this work? I'm not entirely sure but I do have a certain level of confidence that it will be successful. I am targeting an annual return of 25% - 36.5%." Historically going back say 100 years (a lot of data here), there has only been two...

Anyone who is in a desperate situation will have to resolve to desperate measures. It's unfortunate but true. Many are on this message board. In that regard, it's not all that different then TST now is it Joe?

Thanks Bobby. Let me re-phrase my question. Let's say you have a very bright 6 year old, top of his class and that might very well be the case, how would you explain the mechanics of your strategy in terms of why it works. For example a long only stock trader could tell little Johnny that...

Bobby, let me try to be constructive here. If you had to explain to a 7 year old why "you" believe this strategy works, what would you tell them? BTW, this is a common interview question in finance jobs because employers find that those who have the most understanding of complex subjects have...

Sounds like it's worth a trip for you. You only live once Nitro, take a trip.

The outcome is completely irrelevant. What is relevant is this market is over leveraged by a factor of 100X. The market will inflict the most amount of pain on as many participants as possible in the shortest amount of time possible. Events like this act as a cleansing mechanism to wash out...

Guys, just a little warning here.....next week.....I would be 100% in cash going into Brexit. I believe the vol move will be historic in both directions. The best trades will come AFTER brexit, not before. There is a lot of people over levered right now in the market as they are so use to...

They are risk levels based on volatility.

Back above the weekly A down.

The monthly lines are drawn after the first day of the month. No after the fact drawing allowed. :)

Coach...what happened to this journal?

Nope. Bounced right off of the failed monthly A down.

Taking rates down to 0% is not what saved us, it was the liquidity that saved us. The Fed can and will always be the liquidity provider of last resort.

Also number lines just are not breaking down.

ES wicking off the monthly A down, bonds wicking off the QTR A up. Vol actually start coming in while spoos were making fresh lows earlier and there was some nice price action in some of the high risk beta names. Also bearish sentiment is really high.

I think this market is about to rip fwiw.

ES at the monthly A down. I like this area...

I have no idea what you are alluding to. Can you please be more specific. Lower oil prices have not let to higher vol, quite the opposite.

Huh? Fed doom and gloom? Volatility has been getting crushed daily for 7 years straight. How has doom and gloom led to higher volatility. Everyone on this message board is bitching that volatility is zero. The VIX has been sitting in the low to mid teens for years. Can you make up a better...
