    so lets's just say, you "stay small" like only 10% of total net worth in the trading account. Where do you go with the other 90%? Is anywhere you go immune from Black Swan? Stock market? Bond market? Gold? Real estate?

  3. Wow, I could just imagine how much those Eurodollar spreads must have moved.

    Just out of curiosity, what happened to the spoos when that surprise rate hike occurred?
