That was my stock day trading account. I mostly trade futures. I'm long international high yield bond funds. This gives me the hedge against the weaking dollar. International high-yield bond funds returned more than 20% and after you convert that to dollar it returned more than 35% because the dollar has been weak. I have a trading system that I use. If you think that the market is efficient and chimpanzees are as good as human beings, then there is no need to even try. I think I might start another thread and discuss 1 or 2 basic strategies which if followed properly will make you decent money. I will start that probably after 2006. Need to take the dogs out for a walk. Later.
