I don't have a time to go through the entire thread but upon reading the first few posts this is my comment: Yes, the market can jump your stop...
There is nothing wrong with shorting the VIX, as long as you adhere to the old "buy low, sell high" or "sell high, buy low". When the collapse in...
I disagree. Everyone knows that you don't bet against Central Banks as they have unlimited (or so they say) buying (or should I say "printing")...
Didn't have the time to go through the entire thread but here are my $0.02 worth: Consider this: if the only right thing to do was to sell the...
