Subject: [amibroker] OT: Making $$ in
today's Economic Crisis
I realize that this is
off topic, but this list has two characteristics that make this post
potentially interesting as well as relevant.
We have members from all
over the world, representing participants and citizens in many, many
countries.
We also have members who
trade differently using different securities and different
approaches.
My question is: are you
making money in the current volatile economic climate and if so how? How
has the turmoil in your local economy/exchange/country influenced how you
trade and what your more recent performance is? What are you doing or do
you think you will doing in the next days and weeks (as it changes so
frequently, who knows what months will bring)?
I realize we seldom talk
about anything but coding and user issues with the AB program, but could we
have a departure for a moment, at least in this thread, to comment on how you
see the near term future in your neck of the (woods) world, and what you are
doing about your trading and/or investing.
I personally am heavily
hedged, ie, own high percentage of inverse funds, along with one position in a
top performing and so far, slower losing mutual fund (OAKBX) as well as a few
stocks that are truly buy and hold. Down about 3% year to date and would
have been positive if I had unloaded other long (hedged) positions
sooner.
Any
comments?
Thanks,
Ken
