Biz Direct MarketKnowing When To Make A Good Decision

Apr 21, 2011: March was a fantastic month since it ushered in spring. The warm sun gave us a break from winter’s snow and chilly weather. Along with spring came St Patrick’s Day.

Delving into history reveals that the name of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and called Martius after Mars, the Roman God of War. In Rome, where the climate is Mediterranean,

Invest in assets or strategies? Japanese hedge fund manager Munehisa Honma, invented quantitative investment strategies, managed futures, event-driven arbitrage and derivatives trading. Good managers increased exposure to Japan recently; some bad ones reduced and sold the low! Others lost because their so-called “quants” and “risk managers” hadn’t properly modeled for an event that was CERTAIN to occur. I don’t doubt Honma-sensei would be long Nikkei 9,000 call options right now. Taking the other side of panic usually works. In 1755 he wrote “Buy when the crowd is selling”.

Since the earthquake, tsunami and radiation scare, I haven’t been able to contact several people I know that were in the affected area and their chances look remote. But the survivors will need plenty of help.

Apr 12, 2011: Many a time we have received torn dollar bills when we paid in cash. Sometimes when we were unwilling to accept torn bills we were told that if we take them to a bank, we’d get brand new ones in exchange.

Friends have said that banks do replace torn dollar bills with fresh ones. We have not yet tested this theory in person but are curious to know the reality behind reimbursement of

Invest in assets or strategies? Legendary northern Japan based hedge fund manager Munehisa Honma, pioneered quantitative investment strategies, managed futures and derivatives trading. Good fund managers INCREASED exposure to Japan last week; some bad ones reduced and sold the low! Others lost because their so-called “quants” and “risk managers” hadn’t modeled properly for an event that was CERTAIN to occur. I don’t doubt Honma-sensei would be long Nikkei 9,000 call options and EWJ right now. Taking the other side of panic usually works. In 1755 he wrote “Buy when the crowd is selling”.

Japan invest? The post with the most feedback was on the legendary hedge fund manager Munehisa Honma, pioneer of managed futures, derivatives trading and quantitative strategies. And also a resident of northern Japan and inventor of those candlestick charts you see in the Wall Street Journal. Many good hedge funds INCREASED exposure to Japan last week; incompetent ones reduced and sold the low! I have no doubt Honma-sensei would be long Nikkei 9,000 call options and EWJ right now. Taking the other side of uninformed panic selling usually works. In 1755 he wrote “Buy when the crowd is selling”.

Japan is the country I’ve spent the most time in. It’s just 8 days since the earthquake, tsunami and radiation scare began. I haven’t been able to contact several people I know that were in the affected area on March 11 and their chances look remote. But the survivors will need plenty of assistance. Also having adopted many lost animals over the years, I’m concerned about the fate of displaced <a href=”http://www.facebook.com/pages/Japan-Earthquake-Animal-Rescue-and-Support/207835229228979?ref=ts
