  2. Use limit orders...you may not get filled all the way, but you'll get your price.

  3. I post much more than that. This site is nothing but a circus for the most part and I post seriously in most every other category but this one is loaded the gills with bearded women and wolf-men screaming this and that...I'm just the guy pointing out that the bearded lady is still a bearded lady. Chill out bro! :D

    And you've got to admit, stock_turder posts like a stunted mental retard who wears a helmet and still lives with his parents...if you can't see that I'd say you might be relatives? :p

    so if you have 5% of a company you would put out a limit order to sell at a price for the whole world to see?

    okay, I understand your point....

    but most of us here are trading futures and use the leverage to make huge profit.

    Why wouldn't fund managers like warren buffet hire people to trade small portions of his overall funds into the futures we trade to multiply profit at least to the point that they have full influence over retail traders like me and you...

    is this not allowed, or is this happening already?

  6. The larger the dollar amount, the more slippage getting in, and the more slippage getting out. Its trouble even in the million share range, which might be in my case 1/3 of a day's volume.

    It would be BIG trouble when you are talking 10 day's volume or more. Ok, if that's bad, now try finding 25 or 50 stocks to do it with at the same time.

    You can't get in or out often, and you want 100% plus gains on each trade when you do.

    Its a tall order.

  7. Buffet despises derivatives.

    He wants to own real things that will be better to own 5 or 10 yrs from now than they are today.

    He's not trying to gamble. He wants the odds on his side before he places a bet, and he's willing to wait for it to pay off.

    Its a completely different mentality than a futures trader would have.

    Warren should hire the winner of the CNBC Million Dollar Challenge, who'll probably win by putting a million dollars on a $5 stock that trades 100k shares/day. With that kind of skill, they should be able to invest $100B no problem! :)

    if not warren buffet, why doesn't a fund manager just take over the futures market?
