Don't Be Fooled by Inflation

I'm not sure if this country is on the verge of Armageddon, but if you were to pull up roots and relocate someplace else, where would it be?

Monaco's a bit too pricey...

Short the Market with Options or ETFs?

Dumbo,

You're right on the price of SH on 1/6/09. No, my analyses did not include commissions or slippage but it was designed as purely instructional.

Per your other criterion:

"Had the opposite situation materialized (i.e. the markets had gone up instead of down) then the results would have been very different, especially for the options which would have yielded close to a 100% loss. The latter is very important for option trades as I see a lot of trader-wannabes on this forum who don't seem to ever analyze the what-if scenario from a contrary viewpoint."

Well said.
