My play on this has been with rate reset prefs. With long-term rates on the rise here in Canada, these rate reset prefs have performed very well.
I'm unclear if these two points were meant to be tied together because low leverage is not synonymous with being flat delta. If you are using 50%...
Every trading decision should be made independent of one's current position in that underlying. If averaging down makes sense for all reasons...
The subject heading in the email cracks me up--"Hello Daniel". I think Daniel is a prince of a small African country.

Not all opportunity costs are created equal but I agree that it should be a consideration into one's costs. I've left a six-figure job to be a...
