It seems the things in investment are pretty easy. I can master them by reading books and newspapers and the internet of course. I read the CFA paper and they are common sense to me who have learnt 3 years accounting and economics in high school.
I know in setting the price of options you need statistics/math. But to become the next warren buffet i know i don;t need that.
So i can be a hedge fund group CEO and investment bank CEO/CFO without college degree???Is that possible?
Instead of wasting time in college to learn what i already mastered, why not just earn some money and invest it?

We are 2 partners looking to launch an Offshore Forex Fund for European and Latin American investors primarily.

We are would like to know how the structure needs to be set up since one of us is based in the US and the other in a European country.

So far we understand that the management company should be in an Island (Bahamas, Cayman…).
- Do we have to open an Advisor in the US and a Research in the European country, so we both can get paid by the main Management company?

- When opening an Advisor in the US, Do we have to be registered with the SEC?

Many thanks

Hi , I need to know the procedure for selling an L /C or B / A in the futures market. There are Banker’s acceptance futures contracts traded ( BAX ) in Montreal’s Canadian Derivative Market.

Also, I need to know why an export would resort to buying or selling a B / A future to hedge the currency exchange rate risk whereas he could simply sell his Accounts Receivable to a bank or buy FOREX derivatives separately?

Hi,

I currently work as a corporate financial analyst (budgets, forecasts, etc…), but this is not the career path I would like to take.

The investment side of finance always interested me more, and currently I’m thinking of taking my level 1 CFA.

Since I never worked an investment job before; can somebody explain to me what a day in the life of a buy-side (equity) analyst consits of? I guess from the moment I get there until it’s time to go home? Responsibilities?

Or any other investment type job if you are not a buy-side analyst? (hedge fund, forex, fixed income analyts, investor relations, etc…)

I always liked analyzing the market so I think being a buy-side (equity) analyst is more my style, but I guess it would be nice to see what other investment jobs have to offer as well.

Thank you!!

Is it true when you have a multi currency account , to hold foreign currencies in, that the interest rate on that account HEDGES currency fluctuations? How?

I’ve been doing well at trading/investing in stocks/derivatives/forex (currency) and have been able to acquire a nice income and soon I plan to get involved in working with a hedge fund.

My one question is that, with all this money, what should I do? I’m not that materialistic?

The NFA is supposedly going to force traders manage their positions using FIFO. FIFO (First In First Out), however, is an inventory method used to assess the cost of bulk inventory, and forex positions are not bulk inventory. Each position is individually tracked. Therefore, there is no question about the cost of a trader’s positions. There is no question in my mind that if this is in fact being forced upon traders, that it is being done so not in the name of transparency, but to incapacitate responsible trading methods that utilize time frame considerations and position cost averaging.

I’ve also heard that hedging is getting eliminated. The whole reason why so many investors went bankrupt over the past 18 months is that they were not hedged when they should have been.

Does anyone know who pushed for these changes? Can anyone tell me why I should rethink my opinion of why anyone would want these rules in place? Can anyone give a me a starting point for the legal reasoning behind any of this?

a group of experienced investors who invest in diverse portfolios…………….ie: stocks, shares, forex……………………..etc. So you get their money…………who’s name are you investing in? the company? yours? or the individual customer? How does a new start up usually gain clients?

Just curious. I know for online stock trading, pretty much every area in the USA is covered. But Forex is such a high-risk arena and one that is FULL OF SCAMS, that I don’t think ordinary people would trade it.

My friend started a business startup that delivers live Forex quotes for free and asked if I’d join. Well, I want to know if the time and effort I put in will be worth it.

Which areas in the US has most people wanting to trade Forex? What type of people like to trade forex? I get the feeling it’s mostly hedge fund managers in NYC who do it…..rather than individual middle class people.

Hi I am a finance major who has spent a lot of time studying stocks, futures, forex and options.. I want to try out some of the technical analysis I have been studying and was wondering which would be the best to trade?

as a testimonial to start a hedge fund…i have five months track of forex demo a/c…is it enough……..

How do you feel about using credit to invest in higher yielding investment vehicles, then keeping the difference in interest for yourself as profit?
People (especially Americans) comfortably buy cars that depreciate on credit, or buy houses using loans. How do you feel about using that same concept but investing the funds from your line of credit with your Forex trader, stock broker, or hedge fund for example?

Well, apparently there is some element of "gambling" in the stock exchange/forex, but still such events are considered to depend on economical events…so fundamental analysis + technical should help you. I guess, the biggest mistake would be trading on margin/ or at least high such.
Speaking of the gambling itself, it’s really hard to predict the outcome of a random event, if not totally impossible, but still the gambler could make decisions based on static events, rather than just watching how her/his money are getting down, due to unfavorable trend…
Last, but not least, one can’t predict economical events such as a large bank buying huge amounts of EUR/USD, thus changing the trend.
I was even thinking on how to apply, paradoxes such as Parrondo or St. Petersburg in the stock trading, but the logic behind them leads me to negative conclusions.

my opinion?
Start with gambling -> forex on low margin -> stock indices(again low margin, if any).

Thanks!

Hi,
How are you?

I have been hedging the forex, however it has now become illegal….

I have the option of switching my account to a UK account to continue hedging

or
remain on US system… no hedging… meaning I can only trade in one direction of the market…

Would you switch the account or keep it as a US account…

Thanks and God Bless,
Ms S
