Also, im the new portfolio manager for a Mcgill fund managed by undergrads. I need to open a new trading account cause the old one was horrible. If I use something like etrade does anyone know if I need some sort of special account because we are a non-profit org.?

Do non profit organisations pay capital gains taxes?

Toll brothers, beazer, and the like have already bounced back up pretty hard this week. It could just be short covering though :x

Jesus christ I cant decide wherther to put more money into financials and construction companies or less. Pretty seriously thinking of going on margin and just putting it all on black (that this is the bottom and things are oversold.)

Same here. I've been buying a lot but I think I'm done. Unless I run hot haha.

A few months [or years from now], we will be bitching on why we didn't load up on banks and construction companies. If only I'm working at a firm right now where I'm investing with others' money. I would be going all out. If I fail, I'll go back to poker but man, if I hit ...

Also, the volatility of the VIX is definitely awesome to trade. Is it one of your main products? Also, where do you trade from?

So far I have only used the VIX options for hedging and speculation. I haven't traded it as main trading vehicle. But I am currently engaged in a massive research project which uses VIX options as a major part of the strategy. Not sure if it will work or not but I hope to finish the testing in a few weeks.

I'm in love with a Chinese stock, ADY. Built a 16% position in it. Sick fundamentals, cheap valuation, low volume and under followed. Oh, and tax-free status through 2010 courtesy of the great capitalist nation that is the PRC.

Please someone poke holes in the company to keep my optimism in check.

I mentioned to my then-gf-now-wife about five years ago that it was a great time to buy Cisco as I didn't see how it could get beaten down any further. I didn't know then that she bought 1000 shares at around $10 that has tripled now. Smart girl. We'll be holding this for a very long time.
