Sounds like flash trading except the institutions are the ones cheating the normals.
I'm not sure I understand the market dynamics well enough to answer this question adequately. I suspect a completely random strategy may very well...
My read on OP's question was that he was contending that random entries/exits would yield a roughly 50/50 (breakeven) result in the long run...
I'm absolutely just guessing, but I would estimate that a "random" bet on a stock will probably yield a 45% win rate, 55% lose rate. In a...
How do you explain Rajat Gupta? Don't tell me an officer with a high 6-figure salary won't want a quick 7-figure payout. Greed rules.
This happens every day, but not being done by board members but being done by computers.
Not sure why the need for analogies. You think insider trading doesn't hurt individual investors and it should be legalized "a little bit". I...
If I'm the residential owner that sold out to the guy, and my real estate broker didn't tell me about the zoning change, I probably have grounds...
Interesting segway, but sure I'll agree with you on that one and we can agree to disagree on the insider trading.
This is probably one of the reasons why mutual funds, ETFs, lag the theoretical performance of the indexes/assets they're trying to track....
It will be easy to move the market once insider trading is legalized. Market makers will be antsy about absorbing volume knowing that information...
I don't think the technical analysis signals would apply if insider trading were legalized. The "edge" you see in TA assumes that market...
If insider trading were legal, insiders would be the only people that could trade this market profitably. Note that if trading were a zero-sum...
Thanks. This is the only post here that makes any sense. I can't fathom how insider trading can possibly help the small investor unless you're...
Interesting thread. So where do I sign up for this hypothetical job? I already trade full-time anyway so having a base salary and more money to...
Yes. Here's a few examples: http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2010/2010-241.htm http://www.sec.gov/news/press/2010/2010-240.htm...
I've done my own analysis using my entry price and the closing prices on subsequent days and believe I have a profitable discretionary strategy....
I think my rationale for entering the trade is good. However, I exit the trades in a discretionary manner right now. I'd like to compute the...
Not sure if I'm describing it properly, but I am mainly a discretionary trader, but do look for certain technical setups as part of my...
This might not be applicable at all, but I don't really trade using a specific strategy. It's somewhat discretionary and I'm more comfortable with...
