Investing - July 2006

I think indepenent, discretionary traders who just follow their own system are barking up the wrong tree. Say you know someone that runs a hedge fund or you know a trader with a great track record. You're bound to find someone much better than you. Isn't it better to just replicate whatever they're doing instead of trying to come up with trading ideas yourself? Assume you want to be 100% mechanical, that is, there is no discretion involved at all. You learn a method, you set up parameters to generate a signal and you have precise targets, all established already through backtesting by the system creator. You already know the probabilities of your trading setups' possible outcomes. Other than just being comfortable with the actual risk, the idea that you should find a system that suits your personality seems sort of meaningless to me if you're just going to be totally mechanical. Isn't this a much better way to become a successful trader? Why not just copy?

I m planning to buy some stocks in couple of months and constantly watchin tech companies like ebay,yahoo,google. I am more likely to invest in these tech companies because i m techie too so i have knowledge about what's going on in the company and market, though if someone has better idea or would share some knowledge that would be great for me to decide. Its like a second opinion that I need.

My husband and I are currently 22 years old with a three year old son. Money is a little tight, but we manage to put a little away here and there. My question is... is there anything out there other than a savings account where I can continuously invest a small amount (say one hundred a month) and have a return larger than 2.25% a year? I understand if a larger amount has to be invested first... anyone knowledgable in this area?

Do you think it would be an advantage to have 1 stock trading account in the USA and 1 stock trading account in another country (say another time zone)-asia, eastern europe, Britain? That way when one market closes another one opens. Some of the foreign stock exchange offer good stocks for very little USD.

I have always considered myself a bull market investor. But this year the market has been down and hasn't shown alot of hope for sparking life anytime soon. So would it be a good move to invest in a bear market fund untill I notice the market is going back up? Or would it be better to just keep investing in the bull market fund sweat the loss and hope for gains in the future. And how do these funds make money when the market is going down? I know they primarily use short sales to make a profit, but I dont know much else.

There are some golden rules you just don't learn at school or home. You just learn them them by yourself as the result of you successes and failures as life goes by.
Sometimes they might be very different from what you were taught or what your family values are and you might feel it would have been very valuable to learn them sooner in your life.
So what is the most important one you have learnt so far?
