Still, because of the higher volatility, I am able to use them in conjunction with the "Method" very safely. I don't have anything in "winter." Knock on wood.

Thanks, orvil. Glad I could help!

Hey, I am a little surprised about the "triple beta etf's" as Snider positions, but I'm glad it's working out for you. I'd like to know more about what you're doing. I've always stuck to Snider's rules because I trust them. But hey, you invented the airplane, so I wouldn't put it past you to invent an improved way to pick Snider Method positions!

Why do you need money when we're sending alcohol? More importantly, where should we send the booze?

I know three of the "newbies" that are coming in there (below you ts) pretty well. Unless something has changed, two of them will be commuting cross country and one from Florida. Maybe tsquares stories worked.

you say that now, but if you get into natco before December you can get the nwa training syllabus instead of the eQual castrated syllabus.

Thanks for the info. I just read all the PCS documents. I want to swap trips, not drop any without a replacement. Will PCS drop my trip and not pick one up by accident when using the swap function if reserve coverage is adequate and no trips are available?

Try using TNA, triple beta bullish Russell Index and ERX, triple beta bullish oil and oil services. Because they are triple beta with higher volatilities, the farther out strikes will have good activity. Be sure to use limit orders. I only do the bullish and never do the bearish. The spreads can be wide.

I've been making a killing with these two. I may do SSO next month, double beta S&P 500.

As you know, Kim uses ETF's in smaller accounts. This eliminates bankruptcy risk. Use the standard allocation and trading rules. By using the double and triple beta etf's in conjunction with standard Snider trading rules, you get the best of both worlds.

You're in my neck of the woods. My understanding is seaplanes are not allowed at Lake Lanier. Something to do with being a Army Corps of Engineers lake or something. Besides, there would be too many boats crowded around there to land.

I think in Georgia there as many lakes to operate off as beaches you want to visit in Georgia... hardly measurable. << just being a punk, I really don't know I just laugh at what we have for beaches.
