The Road Not Taken

In the two years since Lehman Brothers was allowed to fail, there have been numerous books on the causes of the financial crisis. The housing boom and subsequent collapse is understandably at the epicenter of most of the books. Depending on the political persuasion of the author, the emphasis is that conservatives or liberals deserve more blame for the following reasons. What typically follows is a narrative of political bias. The fact is that both views have it partially right. However, at the end of the day, what is more important is that a number of contributing factors are worse now, than before the crisis.

Consider the following, which are presented in no order of significance, or intended to be inclusive of all the contributing factors. A number of institutions were so large and integral to the global financial system, central banks and governments around the world had no choice but to intervene and bail them out, since they were too big to fail. The solution applied to this problem by policy makers has been to make them even bigger. And there are no plans to break them up in the future. Instead, banks will be required to increase their reserves until 2019. This will work until the next batch of financial wise guys figure out a way to circumvent the rules. This is a bit like adding more bandages to the wound, rather than stitching up the wound. If a bank is poorly managed, it should be allowed to fail. Period.

Some have said the Federal Reserve held rates too low for too long in 2002 and 2003. Others point to a lack of oversight exercised by the Fed, as ads touting loans of 125% of a home’s value in 2004 failed to sound any alarm bells inside the FOMC. Now we have the Fed holding rates under .25% for an extended period because, in reality, they don’t have a choice. I have no idea how the Federal Reserve is going to delicately extricate itself from keeping rates so low. As the Fed does eventually raise short term rates, the debt burden of an already debt burdened consumer and federal government will increase. This will make balancing the Federal budget more difficult, and surely lead to politics playing a role in the Fed’s decision making. The scary thought is that I don’t think the Fed knows how they will accomplish this daunting task.

Trading: work or illusion?

Intellectual work of high profile or legalized gambling? This is the dilemma that is the basis of the common judgment on trading activity.

The approach with which you approach the world of finance is the basis for the possibility of success on the field and is not a foregone conclusion.

The availability of installable on pc platforms like video games and the great semplicifazione of the entry to the markets reached also thanks to the broker on the forex, it maybe too simplified an impression of what the trading business.

The first parameter to consider: to obtain large profits should take great risks.

How much money do you plan to do with trading activity? What is this performance in relation to your capital?

To get just 1000 € per month you should achieve a + 12% per annum on a capital of € 100,000.

If it is true that with a leverage 1: 100 you can use a capital of only 1000 € to move that figure, it is also true that the maximum drawdown, which you can afford is 1%.

It is a sufficient margin to ensure profit expected?

There is much to reflect on these issues before moving on to real trading. Study is not enough, you must also have a clear strategy and the objectives set out.

We conclude with a sentence of Richard Ney, maybe too much but that makes good the idea of the wrong approach that generally it starts: “most of us start to career of financial investments for the same reasons a delirious women into prostitution. We delude escape the threat of hard work, you think that is a group activity that does not require much intelligence, and we believe that it is a convenient way to make a fortune when you don’t have special talents for any other field “.
