c'mon guys, there is more criticism being stacked in this thread than anything else i look forward to Stella's opinion as much as anyone elses
So...no lesson on hedging then? That's the only reason why I bother reading this thread. Hoping I might learn something useful.
Lies, it's an 1 line explanation Hedging: Just like ya know, buy some options and sh*t yo be all like maaaan covering my ass in case sh*t falls while I hold some physical yo.
He takes things too seriously, I was obviously fooling around and of course there's more to hedging than one line. This guy needs to take a chill pill and relax, far out. No wonder all the trolls are onto him, he's so easy to piss off. I know you can use futures, forward contracts, derivatives and many other ways to hedge or even another commodity but heck calm the f*ck down it's the weekends.
How is pointing out that options are the dumbest way to hedge freaking out and require chill pills to calm down? I wrote like 7 words and all of a sudden I'm freaking out? Suggest you consider taking a leaf out of your own book of zen.
Oh I wasn't trying to be funny, it was sarcasm but yeah I thought u took me seriously that's why I was like WTF. Nevermind, I probably should stop posting online when drunk.
Yes, it seems there is a large contingent on inebriated posters in this thread. Bit of a shame infact - wonder if all threads are the same. This place used to have a better feel for it... now it seems more time is spent accommodating those who just want to tango for the sake of dancing.
[The talks of Qe3,4,5,6... lol do you really think the US govt will do it? Too much of it is counterproductive and Bernanke knows it. He is not as dumb as u may think.] He's done a pretty convincing job on me!
I think there is a point where the bond market wont allow it. Remember the funds rate is a target rate, but the market can still demand higher interest rates if they grow unconfident. QE3 may or may not happen, but if it does, I expect the bond market to give up and real interest rates to rise - regardless of the fed funds [target] rate.
He's (Bernanke) already said the Fed will continue to pursue it's policies of trying to increase the supply of money.
But through existing stock maturity, not through additional purchases. at least, thats the story so far.
Is it just me or is there a lot more hostility on the interwebs in recent weeks. It seems quite a few of the forums i visit seem to be getting more conflict/rudeness/general bitchiness.. Is there something in the wind?? People getting frustrated?
