My point in showing that table was 1) showing roughly how I diversify and 2) showing ROIs that I am currently getting. Sharing more than that doesn't add to the discussion, which was focused on ROIs and diversifying.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Not so, my trading style is all about flexibility. All I'm saying is that normally I wouldn't trade in those commodities, but when a significant opportunity is "given", such as Feb Nat Gas, I'll take it.
I can see from your attempt at psychanalytical analysis, you must have lost on that one, kevindog? Am I correct Dr. Freud? I compliment you and you shove it in my face. Market Wizard with nearly 1,500 posts huh, you spend more time on here than trading. My turn at psychananalysis: Kevindog= Narcissistic Personality Disorder ( NPD)
No, my rules change and get modify under different circumstances that the market throws out. I don't have a set rulebook. You want to chase ROI, as that's the new flavor of the moment, go for it! Oh, a word of advice, watch out for selling coffee calls. Those offer great ROI, but the commodity is so manipulated, you can get run over easily in a matter of days.
If your expected ROI on the RB is only .43% then you surely can find something else that will get you a higher return than that. That is what I am doing, dropping those with low returns left on them and moving on.
You missed my point. You say you won't trade widowmaker commodities, but that is exactly what you did. You might have seen that Nat Gas trade was a "given," but it really wasn't. There was a lot of risk in that trade - you just did not experience it since the price rise stopped.
My point that thinking you are trading without risk, when in reality you taking on risk, is going to cause problems eventually.
Sorry if you think I shoved it in your face - that was not my intention.
