    Very conservative consistent strategy?

    Wondering what the catch is with this particular strategy of Meb Faber's (specifically the 60% Put Write and 40% tail risk strategy in which backtests resulted in a Max Drawdown of 8.30% and CAGR of 7.30%) Wondering how many minutes each month this 60/40 strategywould require to implement...

    Very conservative consistent strategy?

    Long stock or long an index is great over the long haul, but only if you don't mind drawdowns that can exceed 50%.

    "Inflation Will Run Amok", DiMartino Booth Says "Gold Is The Ultimate Hiding Place"

    Making bearish predictions is a business, and if she just said something simple like: “ dollar cost average into low cost total market index funds and put a percentage of your portfolio into bonds, (based on your age), rebalance quarterly, allocate a very small percentage (5%) into gold just in...

    How much did Nicolas Darvas have to pay in capital gains tax in the 1950s?

    Everyone talks about how Darvas made over $2 million in the 1950s, but wasn’t the highest tax bracket 90% in the 1950s? How much of the money did he actually get to KEEP versus pay in taxes?

    TD still credits virtually zero interest on cash balances

    That would reduce my buying power by the amount of SHY purchased, and I'd get to pay TD a wonderful $6.95 commission to buy it. (Since it's an ETF) if I were to purchase one of the lame TD money market funds that are commission free, the "confirm order" pop up says that purchasing the lame...

    TD still credits virtually zero interest on cash balances

    TD still hasn't really budged on interest rates, even though the Fed raised rates several times this year. TD's interest for the entire year is virtually zero, while other brokers are almost at 1% on idle cash. Depending on the account size, this can be very substantial. The interest in...

    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    I see this thread got replied to recently, even if by mistake. Is Robert any better at teaching others how to trade now than he was in 2011? He is still in the Educational Trading Room business.

    TD still credits virtually zero interest on cash balances

    Fidelity has free realtime data as well, and a pretty good trading platform, at least it is from the standpoint of trading multiple accounts. Wish Fidelity allowed futures trading though.

    TD still credits virtually zero interest on cash balances

    I notice TD still crediting only 0.01 percent interest on cash. IB is crediting .41% , while other brokers like Fidelity at least give you a choice of money markets that pay roughly the same as IB. . Also, Fidelity lowered their commissions to $4.95 while TD only lowered theirs to $6.95.

    Options on UVXY - Are they Sec. 1256 contracts?

    Over the years, I've always been reporting UVXY options as ordinary capital gains and the brokers have been reporting it that way on their 1099s as well. However, this year, one broker (TD) issued a CORRECTED 1099 reclassifying all the 2016 UVXY options trades as 1256. The other 2 brokers...
