I agree any kind of bail out for borrowers and lenders is absolutely absurd. The irresponsibility should rest on both their shoulders and both should suffer the consequences of making bad decisions. But instead it rest on the shoulders of the responsible people. While the bail out will help...

Aaron, I'm glad you have had a pleasant experience with them. I just know from my experience and the experience of another CTA/CPO that some of the not so good employees are way beyond not so good. I guess it all depends on who you get. Maybe audit two will be better. If I decide...

I have to agree regarding what a pain it is to be a CTA. I am still retrieving documents for them from an audit that took place in July 2007. From what my attorney tells me this is not very long for the NFA. Many of the documents and calculations have been explained to them on three or...

Woah, with prices like that how will you ever be able to save up for the triple bypass surgery that you're obviously going to need.

How is Farr doing? I know they had a DD in the range of 60% in the Feb/Mar time frame. I would have thought they would have closed up. I know I wouldn't want to invest with a manger with that kind of risk management. I know they've also got some legal problems after that mess. Unless it...

With all do respect, Tatnic, I am not asking you what dates you adjusted and exactly how you adjusted. I am just asking how often. What I was attempting to do was run through a basic interview process with you. Starting with the easy questions. If you are not able to give possible...

Hedge fund, no. CTA/CPO yes, currently do.

Ok so basically you are timing various markets. How often do you rebalance your porftolio, so to speak?

All that information is well and good, but tell me what makes your strategy work?

I will attempt to explain my thoughts on why a CTA is better than a CPO. This is strictly my opinion and is based on my experience with my pool versus my managed accounts. With a CTA your startup costs are much lower. All you have to do is pay for the S-3, pay your registration to the...

Look hedge, You came on here making assumptions. You were incorrect. Don't talk shit if you can't back it up. You don't know what you are talking about. I don't know why you had to come on here making shit up. I said I was done with this thread back in November and I was until tonight...

Who the fuck are you? I am not "mike." You need to know what the fuck you are talking about before you go opening your dumbass mouth. I was done with this thread before I saw this. You're a fucking retard. Next time I suggest you know what you are talking about before you open your mouth.

I mostly use my own stuff in excel, but also get good use out of OptionVue and Hoadley. Have looked into FinCad and Superderivatives as well, but haven't used them as of yet.

I agree that is was pretty vague and, but all in all I'd say it wasn't a bad book. Not exactly something you get a ton of ideas from, but if you're interested in what MM's do I'd say it was worth reading. I still keep my copy around and flip through from time to time.

Can you write scanning algorithms into ToS?

Yes you can have a calculator and just a study book is fine. As long as you have practice tests in the study book.

Fuck it. I was sticking up for someone that I know is a good trader. People presented assumptions and I presented facts. That is all there is too it. I'm done with this thread.

We're having breakfast on Tuesday. So I would say that I know him enough to know that he doesn't actually rely on a lucky bathrobe, and kicking things over and screaming about losing money isn't really the way he normally handles bad trades.

Let's get something straight rimlicker. I don't idolize him. I am in the business and I know him and know he is a nice guy and he is putting on a show for Wall Street Warriors. That is all there is too it. Think what you'd like.

Ok here are the results you guys wanted. 2001 = 35.08% 2002 = 86.89% 2003 = 6% And that was with a fee structure of 2 & 30. So in answer to your response about how he doesn't mention his returns from 01-03. There you have it! That is hardly losing everything he made in '99. One...
