Congratulations on the beautiful trade. But, if you would like to comment on it, how did you do after you went short @ 7088 and the market went all the way up to 7142 before going back down, didn't you have a STOP in place or you have large room for this to happen? DH? I mean, where was your STOP, in case you had one? Thank you.
honestly...the DAX and DJ Euro Stoxx are 2 of the best trading contracts out there...please tell me how I could be wrong with this...perhaps the DAX is the BEST and DJ Euro Stoxx is second best and on another note...Crude Oil (large contract) is just as great...go ahead show your support or disagreement...thanks...
We prefer large caps (ex-financials) to small caps. Small caps are more vulnerable to higher inflation and lower economic growth, in our view, and they trade at a premium to the large caps. Rising costs and inflation bite into small-cap performance We believe small caps will struggle to maintain margins in the face of higher input cost inflation and slowing economic growth. Larger caps should be less affected as they tend to have more pricing power and operate in more defensive sectors; there is also a greater proportion of commodity-related stocks in the large-cap indices. Inflation and higher interest rates are also bad for small and mid caps as they raise the cost of funding, which reduces their attractiveness as potential targets. Large caps continue to trade at a discount On a simple forward P/E basis, large caps are trading on 10.1x versus small caps on 11.6x. In some ways this is unusual â in previous economic downturns (2002/03 and 1991/92) large caps traded at a premium. Small caps are currently trading at a premium to their multiple in the early 1990s recession whereas large caps are at a discount to where they traded at that time. Large-cap stocks also tend to have a higher dividend yield and stronger balance sheets â both helpful attributes given that the upside risk to rates and inflation remains high.
