| Covered calls in a flat market. The get rich slowly and secretly approach! No outlay of money!... Long calls on something you know has a good catalyst will beat casino returns. But no free drinks Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Thats the truth. As I said in another thread I wish I shorted GMCR. But after shorting another high flyer (NFLX) and making and loosing a lot of money, I've learned 2 lessons: 1. Never short on valuation, alone! 2. I'm staying out of these high flyer popular stocks. I'm quite content investing in stocks no one has ever heard (especially in some of the markets I invest in) and getting out when/if big brokerages come in on "growth/speculative" stocks Puts offer some nice protection every now and then, but i've only used them once.

| 1. In the age of the internets, any stock no one has ever heard of has a message board full of rabid asshats who almost certainly have no idea what they're talking about and generally posting about anything and everything possibly related to it and fricking with its liquidity (since its probably small cap) cause they think they're all uber day-traders. Or is international and they're just doing it behind the great Chinese firewall and doing it on the Shanghai gambling exchange. Or its a Chinese RTO and they're doing it on both exchanges, and well, we all know how that story ends by now I think. 2. Just follow Einhorn brah. 3. I definitely agree with your no. 1.

| I buy calls from time to time. Did a bunch with apple. Don't know of a better way to control 100 shares of apple with just a few bucks. Apple options have been kind to me. Reply • Back to Top |
]What I have learned from my current job covering exclusively EM, is that there really fantastic opportunities abroad that simply are not available in the US. Run some screeners on Cap IQ (Kfizzle i think u mentioned you have it) for under 5 billion market cap, 5 yr CAGR > 15, ROE > 20, forward PE less than 15, and outside the US and be amazed. There are plenty of unique stocks that have floats greater than 80% and good volume with minimal research coverage and hot money. Granted you do take some liquidity risks on occasion, but it's truly amazing what is out there when you take a global perspective. Oh and btw Etrade trades 36 different exchanges. Problem is 2 people in the whole freakin company know it. quote: To a certain extent this is true. But Hong Kong and Singapore have some of the strictest financial regulations in the world. That obviously doesn't mean there is perfect transparency or zero corruption. But go commit insider trading in China... They freakin execute you for financial crimes (drug dealing to). I don't trade either mainland china exchanges often. quote: Couldn't agree more with this part of the statement. This post was edited on 5/2 at 11:46 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| Its not so much a lack of financial regulation (although again, I'd point to the myriad problems with dual listed RTOs to say that that is indeed a problem) that I was commenting on inasmuch as I was commenting on the mentality of the Chinese population to day trade. I've read countless articles that say that Shanghai and HK volume is heavily affected by retail due to a lack of large domestic institutional investors and that the retail mindset there is very much akin to gambling (as I'm sure you know, they love to gamble).

My wife the other day was drinking her Green Mountain breakfast blend and said, "Honey, you should look into buying green mountain stock, they make such good coffee and they make the most keurig coffee flavors."  Reply • Back to Top |
