Ooops! I thought, it is a good place to vent.
Actually, I suffered major losses in Options trading last month. I bought a dozen or so calls (when the market was moving upwards), and then it took a U-turn!
Any tips? |

I agree with this assessment that all dogs need to be shot dead and fed to Koreans. |

Sell on Rosh Hashanah. (9/18/09-9/20/09)
Buy on Yom Kippur. (9/27/09- 9/28/09)
Not Jewish myself, but this particular seasonal timing is often (not always) worth paying attention to.
Also, trend changes can occur around the autumnal equinox, which occurs on 9/22/09.
The recent decline in the US dollar has caused inversely correlated gains in several asset classes. To the extent the US Dollar experiences a trend reversal, there could be a corresponding swoon in stocks and precious metals.
Based on the above, I'm looking for a major trend reversal in the next day or two. (If we didn't see the turn yesterday (9/17/09).
Long term bullish on gold and silver. But, would not hold positions until the dollar experiences a reflex rally. Long term bearish on US equities, regardless of currency relationships. |

The best information/advice I have ever heard was from Warren Buffet when he stated that those with real money (read hundreds of millions/Billions versus thousands or hundreds of thousands) are typically quite satisfied with a 5% return over time. All this chasing after a high yield with inevitable losses only exacerbates the true final result which in many cases is a longterm return of 4-6%.
Yes some temporarily see astronomical returns (20, 30, 50, 125%) but it cannot be sustained over 25-100 years. Insider trading is illegal, yet that is where the real money could be made if one was privey to it.
Another point he made was that many investers are always trying to time the market to buy low and sell high, when what one really wants to do is buy above the bottom and sell before the high. As an example, if a given stock went from a low of $5 a share to a high of $25 a share then the savey invester would try to spot the trend, buy at $10-12 a share and sell at $18. One could make a nice profit - not as much as the person who bought at $5 and sold at $25, but well enough to be relatively safe with a lot less risk exposure. In other words, greed drives poor decisions.
Be satisfied with a 5% return over 50 years. You'll do just fine. |

| Stocks are devices used since medieval times for torture and punishment. Stocks partially immobilize victims while exposing exposing them to pain and public humiliation. The practice of using stocks continues to be cited as an example of torture, cruel and unusual punishment. I think that pretty much covers it. |

Translation: Mr. Bhatia, how come you get involved with stocks etc. Everything (including money) is virtual. Leave it to god. He does it for good (Bhalla). Nothing for us...
... well, everything can't be translated to english. LOL. |

Most Banks in India are offering 7.5 to 8 percent for term deposit of 3 to 5 years. 10 years back, this rate was around 11 percent! |
