Hello, I've been out of school for a very long time and would like improve my understanding of financial concepts, even if it means starting from the bottom, which I prefer. I would like to ask people for book recommendations that would be beneficial to me regarding TIME VALUE OF MONEY, PV...

Anybody know about 'dollar' roll & 'tba' trading? VOL: GOOGLE doesn't show Please PM me or whatever. I've been reading, and googling, but I can't seem to understand the nitty gritty of it. I understand the concept sort of speak, but want to ask questions. Not sure where to post, so I...

Any bump?? Help? Thanks

Hello, I currently have a passive margin trading account w/ a brokerage firm. But because of their platform, I'm unable to trade frequently. Their platform just doesn't support such functions. Net all, this account is more of an investment account than trading account. Since 2013 is...

Got the CFA study sets. Could use some guidance. BOY am I LAZY!

Yeah, my thinking was if I find success w/ the CFA, I will shift my focus to it. I just got my KAPLAN study booklet and I feel like I should focus on the CFA. I have 5 study books and I feel like that is more than sufficient for me in terms of workload. My heart is leaning with the CFA...

I really appreciate the genuine help here, as I want you folks to know I appreciate it. I know this is just an online thing and all, but talking it out and getting diff't feedback does help. I've thought long and hard and here is what I'm planning on doing from 2012 and into 2013. I plan...

I'm a ICS fall out. lol.

If I'm not mistaken they are risk management certification as well? How can I venture more into this? I've been trying to get some exposure to interest rate risk at work. Thanks

I'm kind of confused by this, but in my portfolio, I have shorts/longs together of diff't stocks. If you're talking about the same stock, I believe it's called, 'shorting against the box'. The bottom line is this, if you're not profiting, then all this nit pick stuff of tax consequences...

I want to be more involved w/ the markets, but I don't necessarily want to do trading. I can trade on the side here and there, but I'm just like the average retail guy here that can't afford the time and money to day trade. Not to mention, having more losses than gains. That's the truth...

IF one has a MBA + CFA, then they can't make any excuses. But one that doesn't have either should at least strive to become better. I've ordered my LEVEL 1 exam, and I'm thinking about the MBA, maybe 2 courses, but it might seem overload. I'll see what financial aid can give me.

I'm not sure what you mean by unlimited losses w/ futures. Going all in is a mindset that's incorrect. It does not give you options and people that go all in have poor risk management skills. There is no such thing as an absolute return, so to say that you would risk an absolute capital for...

I don't set targets, because it leads to prejudice and emotional stress. I just trade. All the targets are set by computers anyhow. Do you really think your 2.05 STOP LOSS will hit first or the 2.049 or 2.051? Show hand = giving brokers your target! As a result, the liquidity bot...

What is money?

Also, all the talk about RE is meaningless if you cannot single out MMA, or location. RE is about location and to generalize the notion that RE is dead is 'absurd'! Speculative areas such as FLORIDA/LV and some parts of CALI are being punished, and this is natural. Deleveraging is also...

This is an easy fix. Obama and US policy should allow more ASIANs into the USA, and less low labored workers. The money will flow back into the USA. MONEY in CHINA will NEVER buy people freedom, not that there is any freedom here anymore either. The generation crap that are pollutted...

anybody know of functions or proxy for US treasury? i dunno how to get the us treasury curve or chart of US GOVT debt. i dont wanna use ETFs. i have TOS.

Automatics don't get stupid like that. LOL I mean, do you think they'll create these 7-gear manuals? LOL I think bmws have like freaking 8 speeds. LOLZ

The MBA program offer these courses which I find interesting. I know nothing I do will guarantee me anything though. I don't want to get into debt, so I am not looking for any 'big', it's not like I'll get in. I work hard, but that's because I'm not smart. International Financial...
