Discussion about
Whole lotta opinions around here. Plenty of hindsight claims of brilliant financial market and RE plays. Six seven has owned sprint leveraged well for a documented > doubling of value, and he's staying with it. I shared on another thread a real time FI trade entered and exited. Love to hear from others, real time of course. Spare the hindsight fantasies.

treasuries primarily, and exchange traded futures and options

ff calendar structures are cbt ff contracts--got a big fi val arb book, again mostly treasuries--what you got--real time?

You remind me of a younger w67. Playing jdsu. I had so many options on a decent straight up equity buy and tap dancing around with so many straddles, condors, German weiner upside down staggers.... At the end of it all I got to keep $5k after netting Out all my transaction costs.

Given I was making $35k/yr and I was up $30k on jdsu, I spent a year looking at a Bloomberg terminal to lose 80% outwitting myself.

I hope you know what you are doing yikes. I certainly didn't

I am taking some profits on the run up (I bought last couple of dips). The growth just pushed my allocation a little too stock-heavy.

And for the old-times... overall, have now sold most of the SSOs, kept a few for the memories (nice seeing 300+%).

"Plenty of hindsight claims of brilliant financial market and RE plays."

A few real-time ones if you check...

woops...i thought this thread had failed to take.

so i only have hindsight, sorry....

i reset 2's/10's in the lo 150's---trade off with decent P at 146--left good $ on the table...prints 142 as i write...

six seven is still long sprint, that is for sure

marco must be counting his cash from the UES studio flip!!
