I have no idea what they're doing at renaissance, but I know for a fact that there are plenty of trading opportunities with good return which are...
I can see certain types of very fast algorithmic stuff being hard from a programming perspective though - if you've got multiple exchange/dark...
It's not like that sort of background is difficult to acquire. They do publish books on computer programming and math :cool:
I would say "algorithmic", not "automated". For example, I've gotten very good results on a certain class of algorithmic equities swing trades...
I would agree with you. I do think you quoted the wrong person though - I've been arguing the bonds have interest rate risk. CL has been arguing...
Also note that I'm talking about dividend paying stocks because that's what the thread is about, not SPY. The OP makes that pretty clear. So...
I will also point out that if you're repeatedly buying and selling the 10y notes, your claim about the long term mitigating the interest rate risk...
The thing I don't like about your approach is that it has a portfolio beta of 1 in all crashes (actually slightly less due to the 10y notes, but...
Honestly I don't think it's THAT hard. When you see a stock that definitely won't pass the dividend yielding 6% over the 13week rate, buy it....
Well, you're entitled to your option, but I think it's ridiculous. The major indexes never have returns high enough to produce a margin of...
I realize you can build synthetic stock at any strike in theory, but in practice you can't. A lot of the options on dividend stocks are only...
First off, yes, you can do that. And it involves more than puts, which was all my point was. The weenies who claimed puts were all you need were...
There's your issue. I never said that you needed synthetic stock to replicate a CC position. I said you needed synthetic stock to represent the...
I can't recall saying that. I assume it about the other participants unless they do something to prove otherwise. It's just a pure matter of...
You're still not acknowledging you could be confused and/or not reading attentively enough again.
I stand by everything I said in this thread. Given your history in the thread this far, you have to seriously consider the possibility that you...
Nah, I just assume that trading boards are mostly populated by losers who lose because of their painfully poor grasp of the markets and attention...
I just don't know what to say, man.
Looking back at the thread, I talked about holding just the stock in at least a handful of posts. I find #4 implausible.
Seriously, what the hell am I supposed to do? I already gave a very concrete example trade to duplicate, and that trade held the underlying by...
