It would cut payroll more, and Rip could bring in a big man to help out in the future, especially if Detroit doesn’t bring Rasheed back.

I asked:


Is it, theoretically speaking:

1- Options Futures …… (And if so, in what underlying area?)

2- Forex Trading ……. (And if so, which currencies)

or

3- Neither ……. (And if so, why not and what area would you recommend instead?)

Which one offers the most theoretical/potential return and requires the least upfront outlay?

Again, NOT considering the inherent risks, BUT merely the potential for return.

Please, offer as much detail as possible. Thank You!

P.S. Please also note, that I am talking about Trading and NOT Investing.
E.V. - Thanks for your great advice.

g3n1ouz0 - What an incredible piece of creative writing. I wish, I could reward it with the BA, but unfortunately its ingenious satire does not really address the question. In other words, it would not be exactly fair to others to pick it as the BA. Nonetheless, THANK YOU for such a wonderful piece of writing - I know you must have put some time into that. Thanks again.

Sheepherder - Great to have you back, dear. So you are recommending a pot of gold to be buried in the backyard, huh? I hope things don’t get as bad as you are predicting, at least for another 50 years or so! …. Then again, you’re an old (only in spirit, okay lol) fox who has been around so: When Sheep talks, the market might get sheepish! :-)

I am a beginner investor so if what I am about to say makes no sense correct me… In Curtis Faith’s novel, Way of the Turtle, he constantly refers to trading futures contracts, and mentions trading specific things like oil, cocoa, and grains. Is this the same thing as trading stocks? If not, will the system he outlines still work in the stock market?

pps p asked:


I know that in futures, we should have our money in the brokerage account as said in initial margin requirements for buying particular futures contract…..Then there will be specifications for the contract like contract size, tick size….Based on the Contract size and our betting will move…..If our bet was wrong then we will be losing money and once it reached the maintenance marigin , we get the marigin call to add funds to rebound to initial marigin……This is how futures work …correct?

1.Now, what is the dfference between currency futures and trading currency ?Does trading currency ordinarily involves same like initial marigin amount, contract size and maintenance marigin?

2.Now, does hedging in future contract does not have marigin requirements?Like Buy USD/AUD Sell USD/AUD in two different trades?If yes, does hedging in all futures ( currency, index,interest ratesetc…) dont have marigin requirements?

Thank you .

lowonbrain asked:


In other words, which Trading segment has the highest potential pay off compared to the amount of money at risk (assuming for the sake of assumption, of course, that you are equally knowledgeable and lucky in all):

Would it be Forex, Options, Futures, etc. (Please specify + a brief reason why)

Also which Trading strategy do you use or recommend for that market (please briefly elaborate). Thank You!

Titles are supposed to be won through making smart moves, not by making trades out of desperation. There’s a reason why the nets and heat declined the last two years. The suns aren’t going to beat the spurs simply because they have one more big body to put on tim duncan. They just aren’t mentally tough enough overall, and one aging player isn’t going to change that. Maybe if they only had to give up kwame brown instead of their whole future, trading for kidd or shaq would make sense.
