It's not really 50/50 there's about 200 long positions and 80 short positions. I think that ratio gives me a good idea of the market conditions. The more shorts the weaker the market. Since we're in a relatively strong market that ratio makes some sense.
Thanks for the encouragement. I've been investing since I was 5. Hold a Master's and Bachelor's degree in Finance, worked for Merrill, PE firms, OTC trader, NW Mutual and about to start at another big five bank. I truly appreciate the encouragement, but people might be surprised from time to time on this forum.
Apparently your grammar isn't even 8th grade level, either. Please tell me you don't actually manage money?
