Personal Finance (7): Realistically, What’s the Yield Rate for Top Traders?

For many beginners  who come to invest/trade in the stock market, they don’t have a realistic idea of how many percent they might gain over a year.  For years, from the trader library and forums, I figured out that the top number was around 28-35%/year.  And, recently, I discovered that these numbers are way too low for benchmarking at all…  and, that could set an invisible barrier of limit in traders mind.

1) Breaking Through from the Limiting Beliefs:

Here is just a short story of how imaginary barrier can limit people performance and may spark some inspiration in the mind…

* The 4 minutes Barrier
Just like once people thought that the world was flat.  Before 6 May 1954, athletes had never able to run a mile under 4 minutes, and some “experts” at the time even commented that it was physically impossible for a human to do so, or the heart would explode under the pressure to run a mile in under 4 minutes.

Roger Bannister was medical students at that time, not even a professional runner, believed it could be done.  He prepared himself with training and he became the first person to ever run a sub four-minute mile (3min 59.6sec) on 6 May 1954.

More interestingly, 56 days after Roger Bannisters breakthrough, John Landy ran the four minute mile in 3 minutes and 57.9 seconds in Finland. Later Bannister and Landy raced in the Mile of the Century where Bannister won in 3 minutes and 58.8 seconds.

As for today, it is no more any surprise for high school athletes to run a mile under 4 minutes, for that mental barrier had been gone.

ONLY after a person breakthrough from his own limiting beliefs, he can then sail into uncharted waters and has experiences he never had before.

2)      Setting the Right Benchmark or Higher

Recently, I have come to know of an old trader who wrote and trade his own system for 30 years and only work for himself.  He does not sell his system or even signals for trade.

On the other hand, he joins some forums and professional groups to share some valueable views and ideas…  He also presents his research paper freely for others who may interest to read.

For those who may get the ideas from his paper would know that his system is for REAL, and not fantasy.

If you are interested to get into the financial market some day, say in the future.  Then it is strongly recommended that, take a look at his website… His papers and his simulation results.

These are some of the back test results with over 100% return a year:->
On Turtle system:

(with permission to post as reference)

ONLY when there is a good Benchmark, then one can know what kind of aim he should set…

OF COURSE, the market cannot give profits from air, when more and more people are aware and able to use such strategies and tactics, the profits would drop according to number of participants are able to develop such systems.  

Many “Conventional Wisdoms”, such as ship must be built by wood in order to be able to float, no machine can fly, and later believe that plane cannot break the sound speed barrier, etc…  are now proven to be wrong ideas that limiting people imagination...

"One person with a belief is greater than a force
of ninety-nine who have only interests."

Games that People Play(2):- Work Behind the Scenes

The world economy and major events that are happening all around the world seems like following the plot of the story in the book - Atlas Shrugged - in the final section.

There are many people complain about their current president can not fix the economy problem effectively.  Some could look further blame previous term presidents that their economy policies are not sound.

Actually, the seeds of trouble for today economy were planted decades ago while Alan Greenspan was at his position as Chairman of the Federal Reserve of the United States from 1987 to 2006!  And now, all the troubles have grown to their mature state.

 If you were to search in the web: "Who is Alan Greenspan mentor?"  You can find that his mentor was the author of the book "Atlas Shrugged", Ayn Rand, and they have a small circle of mastermind.

If you were to dig further and see who's was backing up Ayn Rand -->

Of course, many people would simply say that this is yet another conspiracy theory...

So, I believe that the best way to keep a secret is to put it up onto the web, as people don't believe any secret can be found in the web.

The following pictures are self-explanatory:

It is Strongly Recommend that you watch the video clip (only 24 seconds) on what 
Alan Greenspan has to say.
You may not believe what he say without watching it!!!
If you have trouble to see the video from this blog, click on this -> link  <-

But, history has proven, it is not necessary that their plan would succeed as human being are most creative under huge pressure in critical time.

 What Matters Most is How You See Yourself, and not
limiting your own beliefs due to circumstances.

Bless All

Project Atlas Shrugged!? (2): THE EURO ZONE

I have a German friend told me that there is absolutely no reason for them, German, to retire at 65 while the Greece to retire at 57 yet need their financial help...

Looking at the current situation, people would wonder how to keep all the countries in Euro Zone to work together... For they have their very own and broad range of cultures, social benefits, productivities, etc.

Attached is a link to an article on the cause, current situation and potential effect that may hit the world.

1.  It Starts With The Euro ...
In 1999, most countries in the European Union adopted the euro as a common currency.  This union allowed poorer countries like Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Spain and Greece to borrow money at the same low interest rates as rich and financially prudent Germany, even though their inflation rates were higher.  That give them a strong incentive to borrow.
See from the excerpt...  How could one lend more money to those companies that are continuously losing money with no particular plan to do better, and just hope that they can perform better and return the money in the future?

With the computer aided simulation, one can simulate to send a rocket into the space and turn a few rounds about the earth and bring it back before the real one is actually launching.  As, all these financial data has been there all the while and more importantly the trend was there, yet the politicians need to wait till last minutes to inform the public with no plan in advance.  What's going on wrong?  

Therefore, there is reason to "re-think" about the whole thing...
What was the Real INTENTION to create EURO?
Was the Euro Zone create to last or Intentionally created it to Fail?

Now, if one were to compare the current Euro Situation with the story line in the Book "Atlas Shrugged"... He can find similar situations...

In Greek mythology, Atlas was the primordial Titan who supported the heavens.  You may have seen some of his pictures - who holds the world on his shoulders.  By the name of the book, "Atlas Shrugged", Atlas wondered why should he support the world by himself all along...  and he just let go and shrugged.

In the book, there were a few genius, lead by John Galt, believed that the system that they lived-in was not set up right and wanted to change the world.  They secretly persuaded the world's creative leaders, including inventors, artists and businessmen on by one to quit and disappear from their position and join him. They organized the team in an effort to "stop the motor of the world" and bring the society to collapse - so that they can carry out their plan.

They did not just sit aside, just shrug and watch, rather they planned in every detail and executed their plans religiously to speed up the collapse of the system.  So, that when the government cannot handle the chaos, they eventually have the opportunity to step up as heros to execute their blue print in mind.

On one of the tactics in speeding up the process, by Francisco d'Anconia, one of the central characters, was to create good investment opportunity to bring in huge funds from the society and then destroyed it on purpose.  At about the end of the story, he personally destroyed the world's largest copper mining empire that he owned by inheritance.

Doesn't it looks like what is happening to the global financial system now?

What is the implication of the "Fall of EU"?
Here is an excellent interview: start from 8:00min.
The political and economical crisis of the EU might help a new European Hitler to emerge, warns historian Geoffrey Roberts. He believes the current rise of ultra-nationalism in Europe resembles that one of 1930s as history tends to repeat itself.

Project Freedom(1): Awareness of The Current Reality

"我翻开历史一查，这历史没有年代，歪歪斜斜的每页上都写着"仁义道德"几个字。我横竖睡不着，仔细看了半夜，才从字缝里看出字来，满本都写着两个字是‘吃人'!"- 鲁迅的开山小说《狂人日记》

The above Chinese message is briefly translated as:
"I flipped through the history book and checked, this history covered  all ages.  In every pages, with the slanted words, it repeatedly written with the same phrases "humanity, justice and Integrity".  I could not go into sleep in all positions, and carefully examined it for the whole night, and finally I realized the insight through reading in between the lines, the whole book is filled with two words - 'EAT PEOPLE!' " - Lu Xun (September 25, 1881 – October 19, 1936), "A Madman's Diary"

"THE FEAR OF POVERTY! It requires courage to tell the truth about the history of this enemy of mankind, and still greater courage to hear the truth after it has been told. The Fear of Poverty grows out of man's habit of preying upon his fellow men, economically. The animals which have instinct, but no power to THINK, prey upon one another physically. Man, with his superior sense of intuition, and his more powerful weapon of THOUGHT, does not eat his fellow man bodily; he gets more pleasure from eating him FINANCIALLY." - Napoleon Hill,(October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970), The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons

Above are short excerpts from two great writers,  one from the East and the other from the west.  Interestingly and accurately, they pointed out the same thing that had repeatedly happened in our civilized human history, that is - "Eat People."  And, this phenomenon has even become more frequent, bigger scales, and obvious globally nowadays. -- In this, I AM referring to some manipulators are wiping out public investment and saving through more economy crisis and hyper-inflation!

There are more illustrations of how the current system works in the following Link.

As the saying goes...
"The person who does not realize that he is in 
a jail will never think of getting out."  

So, awareness is empowering.  On the other hand, awareness without action is worthless too.

Personal Finance (5) : Cut Lost

In the year 208 AD, during the era of civil war and the process of forming up the Three Kingdom
Prime Minister Cao Cao after conquered the Northern China wanted to conquer the Southern China. Two leaders, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, arised against Cao Cao's tyranny. Cao Cao brought 240,000 soldiers to fight the battle against the ally of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, which had only 50,000 soldiers.
For Cao Cao’s army to attack the enemy, they must sail across a river. Since most of the soldiers from the north was unused to battling on the ships and having seasick, they set up the camps next to the river bank and doing their training.
The ally strategist, Zhou Yu, thought of a way to exploit this weakness of Cao Cao’s army. Zhou Yu idea was to attack the Cao Cao’s battle ships by fire. But, he also knew that it was impossible to burn up most of the ships as they can sail away easily.
How did Zhou Yu prevent Cao Cao from CUTTING LOST during the fire attack??
He sent spy to suggest to Cao Cao that he should get all the battle ships to be chained together by heavy metal-chain in order to reduce the fluctuation of the ships, and then his soldiers can speed up the training without having seasick. Cao Cao happily accepted that suggestion and implemented accordingly…
And, that fire burned up most of the Cao Cao’s army during the battle. Though Cao Cao managed to escape back to the north, he never able to gain back the strength advantage over his two opponents for the rest of his life...

Case 2: A Typical Mutual Fund

"Click on the chart to Zoom-In"

Sometime ago, I saw a Professor of Economics on TV commenting on stock market matters... He said that even the best fund manager, such as Warren Buffett, had lost more than 50% of his fund value (Berkshire Hathaway) during the last economy crisis from 2008 to 2009. So, as a individual investor, if you lose lot of money in the market, that's normal and don't blame yourself....

So. What do you think about his comment?

I would say that this professor had not done his home work properly, and thus comparing an Apple to an Orange!

Let me explain...

The Mutual Fund Mangers, by law, are supposed to be fully invested with the fund under their management. They can "Rotate" their fund among various sectors, but are not allow to hold cash over a period of time.

Therefore, by law, they cannot CUT LOSS even if they know the market will continue to fall for a period of time. This law is necessary for the stability of the market... Imagine that if all big fund managers are pulling out their investment due to economy crisis, no one can know how deep the market can go.

So, one must realize that the main goal of a fund manager is aiming at beat the market, and not to make money for the clients. They make money by charging the clients for managing their money, not by how much they generate the profit from the fund.

BUT, on the other hand, as a individual investor/trader. There is NO LAW restricting you from cutting lost or even going short. Thus, I say that many commentators appear on the TV do not know what are they talking about.

These tell us that... It is not that the bigger organization can always eat the smaller, it is the faster can eat the slower.

Having looked at the the effect of not being able to cut lost timely, now let us look at the importance cutting lost decisively while it is still small:

1) It is much easier to gain back the lost while it is cut at small percentage.
The following table show a Recovery/Loss Ratio. When the lost is cut less than 10%, it can be recover with about the same amount of gain in percentage. BUT, if one were to let the lost grow bigger, say 50%... then he need to gain 100% just to recover... With even bigger lost, the chances to recover are getting smaller!

"An error doesn't become a mistake until you refuse to correct it." - Orlando A Battista

2) Allow Yourself to Participate ONLY on the Up Trend Market.
The following show the S&P500 returns and it normal distribution over the year of 1926 - 2008. This is the kind of chart you can find in any Quantitative Analysis books on the stock market that shows the probability of win and loss in buying a stock over a period of time.

click on the chart to zoom-in
Now, imagine with your mind that if you were to chop off a big portion of the left-hand-side of the distribution chart through the technique of CUT LOSS (as show in the following diagram), you can literally allow yourself ONLY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UPTEND MARKET!!! (Of course, for those who are shorting, chop off the right portion of the chart.)

Last but not least, in order to be able to use the technique, especially for the beginner. It is best to use market index tracking ETFs (exchange-traded-fund) as the vehicles. As they generally do not gap up or down in high percentage that one has to miss the targeted cut lost point far away...
"There is only one side to the stock market;... not the bull side or
the bear side, but the right side. It took me longer to get that
general principle fixed firmly in my mind than it did most
of the more technical phases of the game of stock
market speculation."
