keeplaughing

Resolving to surprise her husband, an investment banker’s wife pops by his office.

She finds him in an unorthodox position, with his secretary sitting in his lap. Without hesitation, he starts dictating, “…and in conclusion, gentlemen, credit crunch or no credit crunch, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair!”

BULL MARKET: A random market movement causing an investor to mistake himself for a financial genius.

BROKER: The person you trust to help you make major financial decisions. Please note the first five letters of this word spell “Broke.”

If investments are keeping you awake at night, sell down to the sleeping point!

With money in your pocket, you are wise and you are handsome and you sing well too!

I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need, if I die by four o’clock!

If you’re given a choice between money and sex appeal, take the money. As you get older, the money will become your sex appeal!

Market statistics are like a bikini: What they reveal is important, what they conceal is vital!

11rulesbettertrading

Trading in the markets is a process, and there is always room for self improvement. So as we start the new year, here are my 11 rules that help me navigate the markets. By no means is this list exhaustive or exclusive.

Rule #1 Be data centric in your approach : Take the time and make the effort to understand what works and what doesn’t. Trading decisions should be objective and based upon the data.
Rule #2 Be disciplined : The data should guide you in your decisions. This is the only way to navigate a potentially hostile and fearful environment. (more…)

Trading Commandments

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

tadingcommandments

Respect the price action but never defer to it.
The action (or “eyes”) is a valuable tool when trading but if you defer to the flickering ticks, stocks would be “better” up and “worse” down-and that’s a losing proposition. This is a particularly pertinent point as headlines of new highs serve as sexy sirens for those on the sidelines. (more…)

2009…Heads or Tails?

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

headsortails

Adam Smith (1723 – 1790) in “The Money Game” wrote:
“Prices have no memory and yesterday has nothing to do with tomorrow. Every day starts out fifty-fifty!”
If the above statement is to be trusted, then you could just take the 50 – 50 odds, expand their daily time horizon to a yearly one, and decide whether or not to “stay in the stock market game” in 2009!
Decide on just a flip of a coin?
Given the past year’s negative returns, what does this “flip” imply for the investors’ chances this coming year?
Well, that is a matter of asking the question the right way!
If you assume that the years are flipping randomly, and that there is no bias for any year, then you could ask if it is fair enough to assume that flipping through a calendar is otherwise the same as just flipping a coin?
Let’s assume that you were just flipping a coin. Then, YES …
The odds of one flip would always be 50 – 50!

Indeed, you might be led to start questioning about how fair the coin actually would be! In this case, you really should look back and base your expectations on historical econometric analysis and try to establish how fair the coin would be!
But if you are guessing that some things do look like a flip of a coin, shouldn’t you also assume that just because we had a negative year, we’re now going to get a positive one?
Who knows … Investments based on that kind of speculation might actually end up yielding a positive result!
But the odds are still only 50 – 50!
On the other hand …
I do know that …
I will get a much better than 50 -50 chance!

Warren Buffett Teaches : Part – I

Friday, February 20th, 2009

artimg63

Buffet learned how to involve in high probably investments since high-school. Back in those years, he and one of his friends bought a reconditioned pinball machine for $25. They put the game in a barber shop. They checked the coin box at the end of the first day and found $4. “I figured I had discovered the wheel,” says Buffet. Eventually the pinball business was netting $50 per week. By the time Warren graduated high school, he is an owner of a small farm in Nebraska and has $9,000 in his bank account (more…)
