Futures or Stocks?! The truth

Discussion in 'Trading' started by Spectra, Jan 11, 2007.

  1. it's me who wrote "100% agree !!! you can find stocks in some situations when there is 80%-90% probability that price will go one way, not other... can you find it in futures? may be above 50% probability, but not 80%-90% definitely !"
    still insist it's true...ok, may be this also exists in futures trading, I don't know exactly cos I don't trade futures. the problem is such situations not happens every day, even not every week...

    ...I don't trade futures. ...

    Yes exist in future this kind of opportunity
    but how great would risk/reward and how long ?

    For great probability with low reward you would pay occasionaly great risk.

    Only from this point of view that is equal to stock .

    You can compare www.markdcook.com
    Mark Minerwini and Martin Schwartz

    M.Cook is options and futures
    M.Minerwini is stock
    M.Schwartz is future

    Your respectfully

    When you buy 500 shares of DELL, you OWN those shares in the company....you are allowed to vote, participate in dividends, splits etc etc...
    Everything else in the market was created by Wall Street Firms to generate commissions, provide hedging opportunities, and basically provide a method for people to have some "action"

    But none of it is true ownership of a stock.....

    1.SPY,DIA,QQQQ,IWM pay dividend's

    2. But none of it is true ownership of a stock.....

    Public is different .Some operator
    like monitor economy development ,some
    only specific company .

    Last is "to be married with company "
    DELL performed in 90's 100000%(1000
    time) for 10 years.

    But in some of case to be married with company alsov can have multiple dissadvantage's .

  4. Hmmm...

    You don't trade futures but you insist your correct.

    :confused:

    The good news about your statement is that you are absolutely correct in that they do not occur every trading day.

    The bad news about your statement is that some occur a few times per week, others a few times per month, others a few times per year and others only once every several years.

    As I said before, market seasonal tendencies and intraday market tendencies are part of my edge.

    I do trade futures and have been for +15 years.

    I won't debate with you about this beyond what I have already stated especially since you don't trade futures.

  6. Yup. Knew a guy who didn't have the money to learn at all. He did blow out his account and run up $80,000 of credit card debt. He filed bankruptcy on it. Now he's working at Home depot. ;(
