List,
Here's our latest market e-mail to the family with a spreadsheet showing all
trades since we started sending this message out (October 11, 1999) to
family and a few associates of my brother (involved in his startup or other
business deals). What's interesting is that we can short the S&P futures,
the DIA, SPY and the QQQ and make money on all of these positions, while
traders working with particular stocks can still make money while trading
opposite our position. Right, JimG?
Even though our initial margin is $4,688 per contract (for one S&P mini
contract), we maintain a balance of $14,064 per contract. We do this to
limit our Risk of Ruin to 0% as opposed to the 100% we used to run (and
proved right too many times). In order to calculate our "real" return, you
would have to assume an investment of $14,064 instead of $4,688. This would
give you a net return of 119% since October 11, 1999 (approximately 5
months). Again, this calculates out to be a 285.6% annual return on
investment, which isn't too shabby considering you have 2/3 of your money
tied up in TBills. You should also add in any interest income on the
approximately $10,000 in excess margin in your account. I have decided to
drop this from our calculations and consider it just gravy.
Depending upon your own personal aversion to risk, you could substantially
increase your annual return by reducing the balance you maintain per
contract. We have chosen to err on the side of caution and to maintain a 0%
Risk of Ruin for our personal trading.
Guy
