Agree, but not at this cost. In war times Swiss farmers were converted to slaves and had to grow potatoes anyhow.
But protecting them in a way that we do now quits the market completely. There is no need for improvement if you make that kind of money. That way there will be no improvement, never.
Until now we could get away with it, other countries paid. But not anymore. The costs rise and rise, every industry has to pay for the farmers, even if the industry itself would need protection and is not protected. This is highly unfair!
Actually zero, as my real estate is worth more. But depending on my strategy I use up to 300% (momentum strategy) and up to 150% (dividend strategy, but only in bear markets).
ok, probably I didnât phrase my question correctly.
In IBKR (and I guess it the same in all broker platforms), the credit line is tied to the assets held in the account.
For example, if I have (letâs just throw random numbers on the table) 1 Mn CHF in assets with IBKR, I might choose to limit my leverage to a fraction of that equity - for instance, keeping the loan < 300k CHF.
This would result in a âequity + loanâ of 700k CHF (equity: 1M, minus loan: 300k), giving a leverage ratio of 1 / 0.7 = 1.43 (relatively âsmallâ leverage, to stay on the safe side and manage the risk of margin calls in the event of a market drawdown)
I have portfolio margin which gives you a theoretical margin multiplier of 800%. Actually at highs I do only use 112.55%. My mechanical systems make me trade contrarian to the public which has the highest leverage at highs and the lowest at bear markets. I have the highest leverage at bear markets and the lowest at highs.
In a bear market my risky strategy may go to 300% multiplier and my divi strategy to 150%. Check the link earlier to my mechanical investment thread, there you find the exact formulas.
And thereâs now a new tariff deadline for the 1st of August. Part of me says/hopes TACO, part of me remembers Dr House/Aesop saying âeventually the wolf really does comeâ. Oh well, I used up all my liquidity already and feel better for it.
âTheyâll range in value from maybe 60% or 70% tariffs to 10% and 20% tariffs, but theyâre going to be starting to go out sometime tomorrow,â Trump said.
Thatâs what markets love, clear guidance on what to expect.
Asked if countries would be afforded any flexibility with the tariff deadline, Trump said, ânot really.â âTheyâll start to pay on August 1. The money will start to come into the United States on August 1, in pretty much all cases,â Trump said.
âmoney will come into the United Statesâ - sounds so much better than âweâll heavily tax our citizensâ consumption - hey, someone has to pay for my BBBâ
What do we make of it - an echo of the April stock market drop, more US inflation, more Fed reluctance to lower rates?
If anyone is interested in how large trading firms manipulate the market, read this article
Post investigation , Jane street is barred from Indian markets. They made 88 million profit in a single day trading and many such days were found in the investigation to be market manipulation.
I believe Indian regulators were tipped because a significant portion of Jane street profits came from India last year while Indian market is still much smaller compared to global markets
Doesnât this also have to do with all the trading restrictions in India? (Limited day Trading/short selling). That probably encourages more creative ways of doing the same (and can also explain higher market inefficiencies that can be exploited for profit)
Actually I donât know for sure.
There are some trading rules but since I am not active in F&O , I donât know for sure
But the article kind of shows systematic manipulation. I wonder if such things also happen in NYSE or this is limited to Indian markets where retail traders might not be so sophisticated
What I find strange is that Jane Street is supposed to be a market maker. The trading strategy that was published by the regulator seems more like an activity of a hedge fund. They are a very quantitative firm and pay interns $20k per month.
I think the Indian regulators attention came after it was revealed that Jane Street ran some very profitable trading strategy on the Indian market and Jane Street sued a Hedge Fund (Millenium) because a few employees defected and took the strategy with them, $1bn in profits in India according to the court documents (Source)
Interesting article, sounds like aâŠpump and dump without the illegal bit which is boosting a stockâs price by aggressive promotion.
That said, IS it illegal to manipulate the market by being a whale and doing high frequency trading? If an Indian trading firm did this in the S&P500 would they be banned?
Ok, sorry about the sarcasm ⊠is anyone expecting anything else than manipulation when participating in markets?
Sure, when pension funds get screwed over by Enron legislation gets adjusted and when subprime mortgage backed securities suddendly arenât Triple-A anymore thousands of pages of regulation are written ⊠(and theyâll for a while protect some investors) ⊠but isnât it an essential part of the market that you can sell anything to the buyer who is willing to pay a price for it?
I know, I know, not part of the security exchange laws and what not, but ⊠just reality?
Not trying to excuse any bad behaviour, just embedding it into the general behavior of human nature. Challenging the premise of the previous poster a bit: doesnât matter whether the trading firm is large or not, the temptation to make a quick buck is always there, and there are always people willing to take the risk (on either side of the trade).
