Your generosity with cars and support for your daughters is an inspiration as we debate cash for trading vs investing in the intangible relationship factors.<br /><br />Trading system idea:<br /><br />- One of the email letters I subscribe to: "The Daily Reckoning" always walks the line of being too wordy and not worth my time. Along with Rude Awakening and Gunpowder letters.<br /><br />A headline made sense: Bet the Jocky and not the horse. This is so true! I've worked for companies with nuts at the helm who ruined a good business plan and vis versa.<br /><br />A Sally filter: You probably already are doing this?<br /><br />- You can associate a "jocky" ranking by who the institutional holders are. That is if you can rank institutions for their buy strategy that includes "jocky" effect. I bet some leg work can do this! The recent email mentioned a fund, Fairholme Fund , who's manager follows this strategy. Buffet I believe always stressed betting the management.<br /><br />- Add in the taylor effect.<br /><br />What comes out of this filter probably would have a high success ratio for 2 month out at the money calls. <br /><br />Any thoughts or refinements?<br /><br />Thanks and enjoy the end of FL's summer Allan.<br /><br />curtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9226230.post-16645812719012509552006-09-17T15:54:00.000-07:002006-09-17T15:54:00.000-07:00Hi Allan,
I've been reading and enjoying your bl...Hi Allan, <br /><br />I've been reading and enjoying your blog for a long time, for both your stock market meanderings and for your more personal feelings about your life. Everytime you write about your daughters you strike a chord with me and because I am a much more private man then you, I will not explain why that is the case. <br /><br />One thing is abundantly clear to me. You are a good father. Caring, loving and full of concern for how your decisions on how you have chosen to live your life has had an effect of Sarah and Alana's well being. Your pain is so clear and palpable that it just leaps off the screen and grabs your readers by our own most private, hidden and unspoken regrets in our lives. I don't know how you do it, but you have a gift for communicating so much more then is simply spelled out on the surface of the written word.<br /><br />Having "been there, done that" let me just say to you, in a way of thanks for this entire series of wonderful blogs, that you are more of a father and have given your children more of yourself, your dreams, your sense of life and love, then most us can even imagine doing for our own children.<br /><br />No matter what you have done, you have shown your daughters what life is all about. Do not be sad for them, Allan, as you have shown them a path that very few parents have the courage to take, let alone so brazenly and openly share with the world. <br /><br />When I read your blogs, especailly your personal blogs, I come away with a piece of you that then becomes a piece of me. And I have never been more alive, as a father and as a man. Thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
