<p>1 to 1, xiv is easier to get trade than svxy. The downside is there are no options in xiv, so … To hedge with options we have to use svxy… So more margin has to be put up and u have the inactive options and wide bid- ask spreads to deal with. I do think money can be made on these products and I like the idea of waiting for spikes.</p>
<p>Somebody bought the svxy apr 50 puts from me. Of there is a disaster in the world, svxy is going to get crushed. Still? Apr 50 puts?</p>
<p>It was too much of a pain to write this in one post.</p>
<p>Quite a jump in investor sentiment</p>
<p>He said that prices are much higher than they were in 2007. He sold a 900 sq ft coop for $215K. I’m amazed that you can get something so cheap in NYC. Looks like he’s sold about $5 million this year.</p>
<p>Higher… Thanks. </p>
<p>I wonder where that coop is too. </p>

<p>Doug Kass now bullish on AAPL. Says will still make good cash flow even though more competition. But he is still bearish on the market.</p>
<p>Sold GOOG; looking at buying AAPL. It’s very, very close to a technical buy signal on a break of the downtrending resistance line.</p>
<p>I’m not very long the market and I need a correction to go longer than I currently am.</p>
<p>Nice hit in goog BCEagle91,.</p>
<p>I want to see how aapl acts tomorrow.</p>
<p>Doct, you have been so bullish…</p>
<p>Not really. I have only 60% of my 401k’s in stocks via mutual funds and am significantly underweight stocks in general. I see the derivative (rate of change) of the indices prices flattening out as they have breached record levels or approached them and have waited for a correction - hopefully 10% to get more fully invested (at least 80%). So far not being very long has not been a very good position to have. I’m actually making more selling puts (for income) than in my other positions which is not the goal. I do tend to lag the market when it is going straight up as I tend to be a more conservative investor but never by this much.</p>
<p>I used to make a lot more than the market, but now I won’t. I am just not invested enough. That is the way it goes. I am never going to be fully invested again I am going to underperform in these kind of markets. That is ok. </p>
<p>I don’t want to get buried though with these short puts when the market corrects. </p>
<p>I sold a couple of more goog puts today. I don’t want to see goog at 700 and I doubt I will be short puts when earnings come around. I don’t care what the earnings are. I don’t like being short premium into earnings.</p>
<p>Doct, I guess I missed this. You want 80 percent of your financial assets invested in stocks? Or just your 401k?</p>
<p>Most of my financial assets are not in tax deferred accounts. 80% of my financial assets in stocks is what I’m looking for. Most of my assets are currently sitting in cash.</p>
<p>That is a very bullish allocation. You are very bullish over the next several years?</p>
<p>I’m bullish over this year after a correction</p>
<p>Ok…</p>
<p>I am thinking May…again. If not then… We are going to have a very big year. That is possible with all the money printing going on…,</p>
