little puppy - trainee!izuku midoriya x ceo'sdaughter!reader (x shoto todoroki) (1379 words)

tw ; minors dni angst, degradation, slightly suggestive, toxic behavior from y/n, cheating, reader is a bitch/brat oops, nsfw ; mutual masturbation

EXTRA INFO ;; reader in her 20s and izuku in his early 30s

i'm thinking about izuku midoriya as a trainee in this big successful company.

poor, pathetic izuku, who let himself be stepped on. in this ruthless hierarchy, he was the one who brought the coffee back to his superiors. pathetic. a young man without interest.

he would have liked so much to be richer. more charismatic, more eloquent when he had to speak in front of his colleagues. he would have liked to be worshipped like his best friend shoto todoroki who had everything to please. money, beauty, high social network. and the daughter of his rich boss. you.

you were so elegant, so pure, so bewitching, fascinating.

you were a goddess among mortals.

so it's normal that you were in a relationship with todoroki, he was of the same high social class, you understood each other without exchanging words. he was so jealous.

oh fuck, how he would have wanted you to give him a simple look. no matter how disdainful it was. just so you would understand that he was there, that he was in love with you.

and it was during this party organized at the office to celebrate some investment or gain, that his life was going to change for the better, and the worse.

"damn izuku be careful where you put the fucking glass. apologize to miss y/l/n." said shoto dryly.

the party seemed to come to a halt as attention focused on your trio. an annoyed murmur ran through the crowd. you were used to being the center of attention, of the tabloids, of your family.

you were japan's little starlet.

but here, with a red wine stain on your designer dress thanks to this izuku ? oh no, how embarrassing.

"you're can't be serious, i asked you for some rosé, besides. " he continues in an aggressive tone.

todoroki may have assured you that izuku was his best friend, but since you were dating him, all you could see was him barking at that poor young man. but you weren't going to lie, you were amused.

and still it was sad. for shoto, of course, to have to deal with a green-haired phenom like that since childhood.

calm down.

calm down y/n. it's not like this dress cost thousands of dollars, and it came straight from the designer.

you always hate your father's pathetic interns, but this one had won the jackpot.

this izuku was twice as tall as you. but your gaze still fell on the young man with the green hair. his imposing size, and his adorable little freckles surprised you a little. how come this attractive physique had such a shy personality ?

you would have had him in your bed by now if you hadn't been set up with shoto. but what was stopping you from getting down on your knees in front of him ? a slight smile stretched your pretty lips. nothing at all.

"please forgive me miss y/l/n.," he said, looking into your eyes.

a short, yet long silence falls between you. your face was drawn, you were annoyed, bored. irritated by this idiot and this incident that had spoiled your mood.

" never mind, get out of my sight." you reply curtly.

the young man went to the kitchen to clean up his mess while you went to the bathroom to fix your look.

you'll have a word with your father and the board to get that idiot fired. on top of that incident, he had that naive look in his eyes, too nice. too pure.

no wonder he's everyone's stooge around here.

"fuck. "

you tried to clean the stain on your cleavage as best you could.

"you have to remove the stain with vinegar from your silk dress, miss."

the young man's interruption made you jump with fear. he was watching you, still with the same kind yet irritable look. we'll see if he'll be as cute when you've fired him. well, when your father has.

"i told you to get out of my sight earlier, didn't i ? "

the young man loosened his tie and came to your side. he was looking at you through the mirror this time.

"i'm sorry again, but the men's room is occupied so we'll have to share it while I get rid of this task too. " he said softly.

that softness in his voice, argh, it had the audacity to-

"if i may say so, i think you still look lovely tonight." he adds in a deep voice.

you couldn't explain it, but his compliment made you feel an inexplicable anger. without being able to answer anything, you felt the blood rush to your cheeks.

but who was that fool ?

who was he to make such a remark ? maybe you should tell shoto that his best friend was flirting with his girlfriend ? that this poor trainee had been ogling the breasts of the daughter of the CEO of one of the biggest companies in Japan?

but you wouldn't have any fun with that tonight.

so you finally faced him, your hands having stopped rubbing the stain since that advice he had given you.

your panther eyes were locked in his. what a great opportunity to cheat on shoto todoroki, the daddy's boy with the boy version of cinderella.

without a word from you, your hand came to caress his well-drawn jaw, then moved with excruciating slowness up his cheek and then his cheekbone. that little red came to tint his beautiful face the same color as his lips.

it looked like a greek god, he was without a doubt much more attractive than your boyfriend.

"fuck me izuku." you breathe a few millimeters away from his lips.

you saw his face panic when you took his hand to slide it towards your crotch. and even more when he felt that you were not very dry in your intimate part.

"look how much you make me want to. let me make you feel good, like i let you make me feel good. shoto won't need to know. "

"you are my boss's daughter... and my best friend's girlfriend. "

your other free hand slowly, sinuously, came down his fly. your two breaths were one, speeding up a little more as you become intimate in this luxury toilet

totally removed from the party. from shoto. from your father. from the business. from alcohol, and from the sins that the business itself represented.

greed.

"let's talk about shoto here." your fingers finally met the tip of his cock. you didn't let go of the amazement of its size. a real surprise all the way, that miserable izuku.

you continued in an ever more suave voice.

"shoto, your best friend since you were a teenager, right ? and you let him treat you like that ? did you know that he was planning to succeed my father as the company's ceo ? "

" w-what ? " he said in a surprised voice.

"yeah... a real tragedy, isn't it ? especially, when i'm the only one worthy of getting this job. don't you think i fell for that arrogant guy. "

his fingers finally met your panties, and in one movement he shifted them to meet your lips.

a slight sigh of pleasure echoed in the toilet.

"he treats you like shit. but maybe you deserve to be stepped on, to be insulted like a nobody. maybe you want to remain a submissive all your life? " you pick up on that.

"n-no, of course.. not." his voice was pleading as your movements on his member accelerated.

"well, i knew you weren't just a complete idiot. "

you spread your legs slightly to throw him a larger access, inwardly claiming death from the pleasure he gave you so easily.

"let me make you a deal. you whisper. "i'll let you fuck me, and you help me get shoto out of the way, and get me into the role of CEO of the company.", you say with a firm tone.

a mischievous smile stretched your lips as you pressed them against izuku's.

"be my little puppy, and you can marry me."

Skateboarding at the Olympics, and Team USA’s biggest challengers, explained

Tokyo will be the very first time skateboarding is being contributed to the slate of summer season Olympic sports, and in the beginning glimpse Team U.S.A. is the 10,000 pound elephant in the space. However, there’s a lot more going on that might shock anybody presuming gold is an inevitable conclusion for the United States.

It’s undeniable that the United States has actually led the charge in world skateboarding because the beginning of competitors in the mid 1970s, however an unrivaled level of parity has actually gotten in the sport just recently. Yes, it’s true U.S.A. originated skateboarding and controlled the X Games in the past, however the days of an all U.S. podium have actually vaporized. Now it will be a fight to medal in skateboarding, making it among the most engaging sports to view this video games.

What are the skateboarding disciplines at the Olympics?

Skateboarding is divided into 2 competitors: Park and street. There is no vert competitors on a halfpipe at the Olympics.

Park is developed to represent a skate park environment. It’s a mix of street aspects and vert, utilizing concrete bowls and bulges to supply broadcast for skaters. It needs professional athletes to be well rounded, having abilities to street skate — in addition to grabs and flip relocate to move from element-to-element while on the park.

by means of Olympics.com

The 2nd is street, which is developed to imitate metropolitan environments. While competitors will happen in a custom-made course, it will be much closer to the sensation of skating on a street. Rather than bowls and lips, skaters will utilize ramps, rails and stairs to score points throughout runs.

by means of Olympics.com

Who is on Team U.S.A.?

A 12-member groups, U.S.A. will field 3 guys and 3 ladies in each discipline.

Men’s Park

Cory Juneau

Heimana Reynolds

Zion Wright

Women’s Park

Jordyn Barratt

Bryce Wettstein

Brighton Zeuner

Men’s Street

Jagger Eaton

Nyjah Huston

Jake Ilardi

Women’s Street

Mariah Duran

Alexis Sablone

Alana Smith

Who represent U.S.A.’s finest possibilities at gold?

Nyjah Huston has actually been a skating phenom because he initially showed up on the world phase as a cute 11-year-old at the 2006 X Games. Early possible paved the way to truth with each passing year, as Huston progressed into ending up being the skater the world hoped he might end up being. A street skating virtuoso, Huston is the No. 1 ranked rival in the discipline, however he’s understood for embodying the concept of “go big, or go home” gladly attempting to toss down enormous, high-risk runs — often to the hinderance of his consistency.

Men’s park is where U.S.A. truly has the Olympics locked down. Reynolds, Juneau and Wright are the first, second and fifth ranked world skaters respectively — with each having a possibility to bring house gold. Of the 3 it’s safe to state that Heimana Reynolds is the preferred with 3 podium surfaces in the last 6 world occasions. However, similar to the majority of world sports, worldwide competitors has actually been exceptionally restricted over the last 18 months. There’s a big opportunity to shock from anybody worldwide.

Team U.S.A.’s course to success in both ladies’s disciplines is distinctly harder. It’s not a knock on the skill the U.S. is sending out to Tokyo, however rather a recommendation of how harsh the worldwide competitors in ladies’s skating is.

Of the 6 ladies Mariah Duran has the best opportunity in ladies’s street. She won the most current worldwide competitors. Duran has the possible to stomp down substantial runs and challenge the grip on the sport Brazilian ladies have actually had.

Who are U.S.A.’s greatest dangers?

In a great deal of methods the power balance in world skating has actually moved south, and east. Outside of the United States it’s the twin powers of Brazil and Japan who have actually been challenging to take the throne of world skating.

The enjoyable part about this is what while U.S.A. divides the distinction of being strong in both disciplines, the divide occurs here too. Japan’s Yuto Horigome and Sora Shirai are 2 of the very best street skaters worldwide, slotting in as No. 2 and 3 behind Huston. Horigome in specific is an outright monster, weding unbelievable capability with peerless consistency. In the last 2 years he’s never ever ended up lower than 5th, and will undoubtedly be fighting for gold.

Meanwhile on the park side, it’s Brazil that increases to prominence. Luiz Francisco and veteran Pedro Barros might both press Reynolds for gold — however Francisco in specific has actually been irregular of late. The 20-year-old is absolutely among the very best skaters worldwide, however often gets lost in worldwide competitors and with the strength of this field that might be a liability.

On the ladies’s side it’s going to take an enormous error by Japan and Brazil not to medal. Japan’s 15-year-old Misugu Okamoto is among the most interesting skaters the world has actually ever seen, and she’s the runaway preferred to take house gold in park. Meanwhile it’s Brazil’s Pamela Rosa, who’s run away with essentially every ladies’s street occasion in the last 2 years, who is probably to take house the gold.

The parity of this sport makes it a lot enjoyable

The knee-jerk response by the public when skateboarding was revealed was thinking these would be U.S.A.’s medals to lose. However, in the last few years strong obstacles originating from all over, especially Brazil and Japan, make skateboarding among the most interesting occasions to view at these Olympics.

Do yourself a favor and tune it to see what Nyjah Huston prepares to toss down in Tokyo, and likewise have a look at ladies’s park. It may not be a USA win, however you requirement to see Misugu Okamoto in action. She’s unbelievable.

The Ultimate All-Anime 2018 World Cup Team

The world's greatest sporting event, the World Cup, kicks off today as Russia takes on Saudi Arabia. While the Japanese national team doesn't play its first match until next week against Columbia, that doesn't mean we can't start thinking about Japan and soccer! While the sport isn't the country's #1, it's still quite popular – and, of course, has made an appearance in many different anime and manga. In fact, a few prominent players at this year's World Cup have shared about their experiences with anime and manga – including Spain's Andrés Iniesta, who loves Captain Tsubasa, and Argentina's Sergio Aguero, whose nickname comes from an anime he watched as a kid.

  And so, as the self-appointed coach of the Anime National Team, I'm proud to present you with my selections for the 2018 all-anime World Cup team!

    A quick word about the criteria for the squad: With so many anime characters having crazy magical and sci-fi powers, I struggled to decide whether to allow in characters who could literally light the pitch on fire or move the ball with their minds. On the other hand I've not seen enough soccer anime to make selections only from those, and limiting my choices to those characters would be pretty boring anyways. So, I've decided to allow in only those characters whose powers are mostly physical in nature and tried to avoid those who are so overpowered they'd just break the game. We'll be using a 3-4-3 formation because I like offensive soccer.

  With that, let's get to it!

  Goalkeeper

  In goal for the Anime National Team is... Luffy D. Monkey from One Piece! All things considered, it was an easy choice to select Luffy over his competition, as his Devil Fruit-granted powers and natural reflexes make him a perfect fit in goal. Although Luffy is actually fairly short (around 5 feet, 7 inches according to the Anime Football Federation), he more than makes up for his lack of height with his amazing jumping and ability to stretch his arms to reach pretty much any corner of the goal with ease. His talents don't make him invincible, especially against strikers who can put a lot of power behind their shots like Medaka Kurokami from Medaka Box, but even guessing wrong on a penalty kick won't necessarily stop him from making the save!

  Defense

  At core of the team's defense is Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara!! Although the 3-4-3 formation is a little light on defense due to only having three fullbacks, this team gets away with it because Shizuo is the enforcer every team wishes they had – one who's not afraid to get a little chippy when needed. His physical strength is second to none, and his height (6'1" according to the Anime Football Federation) means he's able to control aerial battles just as easily as those on the ground. On either side of Shizuo are Nagisa Misumi aka Cure Black from Pretty Cure and Maka Albarn from Soul Eater. In her transformed magical girl state, Cure Black holds down the right side of the field with both speed and power. And while it could be argued that Soul Eater's Black Star, as the more natural athlete, should have been given the nod over Maka, Maka makes up for her lesser physical abilities with phenomenal intelligence and discipline. She's never caught out of position on the left and has enough pace to keep up even with the quickest strikers.

  Midfield

  With only three players on defense, the midfield in the 3-4-3 must have both the stamina and willingness to track back to support the defenders. As such, the two central midfielders I've selected are both consummate athletes with both speed and the ability to get up and down the field for a full 90 minutes: Suruga Kanbaru from Bakemonogatari and Birdy Cephon Altera from Birdy the Mighty: Decode. Of course, in the Monogatari series Kanbaru is shown to be a basketball star, but before she played basketball she was on the track team, and her overall fitness level is a cut above that of anyone else in the series. For her part, as a member of Space Federation Police, Birdy has great pace and strength, as well as a fine strategic understanding that allows her to pick out passes to the other members of her team just as easily as smashing in shots.

  On the wings are two shonen stars, Tenya Iida from My Hero Academia and Killua Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter. Although each of them is still young, their individual talents allow them to serve well in their given roles. Iida's speedy Quirk makes him an obvious choice on the right side, although he's being coached to avoid using his Reciproburst skill at all costs, since it leaves him incapacitated afterwards. On the left, Killua's harsh assassin training has granted him endurance that's better than that of anyone else on the team. He can use either foot equally well when he has possession of the ball, which allows him to play in crosses or dribble into the center of the field at will.

  Forwards

  And, at last, it's time for what you've all been waiting for – the strikers! In center of the attack is the Messi of the Anime National Team, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress's Mumei. If this comparison between a zombie-killing anime girl and the world's greatest soccer player seems odd, consider the similarities. Both Messei and Mumei are known by two-syllable names that start with "M" and end with "I," both possess a diminutive stature but excel at making quick movements in small spaces, and both are extremely moe. Because Mumei doesn't have the power to be the focal point of the team's attack, I've deployed her as a false 9, using her incredible coordination to control the center of the pitch and her great instincts developed in battle to pick out passes to the team's main goal scoring threats.

  Those first of those two strikers is Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass, Mr. Spinzaku, the master of the spin kick himself. Shown to be one of the most fit characters in his show, Suzaku plays on the right, where he can use his incredible kicking powers to their full potential. He's probably the most potent goal-scoring threat on the team, but is backed up on the left by Bell Cranel from Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? The team's youngest player and earning his first cap for the Anime National Team, Bell's inexperienced, but grows in leaps and bounds with every match. By the end of the World Cup, after honing his talents on the best players in the world, he's liable to be in the running for the title of best player on the team! Oh, and his celebrations after he scores are the most wholesome thing you will ever see.

    And that's the official line-up for anime's 2018 World Cup representatives! Although we had to leave out a few stellar players, like defender Satsuki Kiryuin from Kill la Kill, Bell's fellow striker and clubmate Aiz Wallenstein, and athletic phenom midfielder Cinque Izumi from Dog Days, we're feeling confident about our chances. The team's chemistry has come together splendidly in the weeks leading up to the competition, and, as their coach, I'm excited about what they can do. Thanks for following along, and please support the Anime National Team in our quest to win the World Cup!

  Now, it's your turn! Which anime characters are going to be starting on your World Cup squad? Leave us a comment below letting us know your picks!

Hedge Fund Market Wizards (Jack Schwager, 2012)

Takeaways:

This is an extremely long set of notes because it’s a long and dense book and every trader has something valuable. Very long book but also quite skimmable if you skip the interviews (which are full of interesting stories) and only read Schwager’s conclusions to each chapter as well as the “40 lessons” at the end (there is also an excellent Intro to Options at the end that is the best I’ve ever read in only 4 pages). *Best interviews are: Colm O’Shea, Jamie Mai, Ed Thorp, Tom Claugus & Michael Platt.

Much of the advice in this book can sound pedantic, but more often it’s deceptive in its simplicity. Worth considering these traders are not just high-return but extremely high R/R over long track records.

To me, the message boils down: figure out exactly what works best for you and do only that as much as you can, structure bets with asymmetric payoff schemes (relative to probabilistically-considered outcomes) and do it in a size/manner that keeps you from making emotional mistakes. 

Really crucial is the ability to adapt over a long career, because no system works forever--market structure changes.

My sense is trade structuring and risk management is something the average equities investor doesn’t not pay enough attention to. Structuring can make mediocre or ok R/R into great R/R -- this is basically the key insight of Beat The Dealer and also highly achievable through options.

I like Schwager’s Gain to Pain Ratio, which is defined as the sum of all monthly (arithmetic, not compounded) for a strategy divided by the absolute value of the sum of all losing months. He considers >1.0 very good and >1.5 excellent. 1.0 implies an investor experiences on average an equal amount of monthly losses to the net amount gained over a year. Preferable to Sharpe Ratio because it doesn’t penalize upside vol.

Loved Steve Clark’s advice about not staring at the screens if you’re the sort of investor who sets your bets and has to wait for them to work -- I’ve witnessed first-hand what he means by over-processing and over-trading that results.

Greenblatt’s Magic Formula does not seem to fit a world where the best companies invest via the income statement and employ primarily intangible assets.

Macro

*Colm O’Shea

Wrong at least 50% of the time but never lets a mistake get anywhere near where it would make a good story

Views his trading ideas as hypotheses

The mathematization of economics has greatly narrowed scope of field -- true economists reside in history, poli sci and sociology fields

Policymakers don’t understand they’re not in control. Speculators aren’t either -- fundamentals actually matter

All markets look liquid during a bubble, but it’s liquidity after that matters

Buyer of options in 2006-2007 because low ERP meant option prices were too cheap. Prefers being long options, never short a horrible tail

During 2005-2006, got paid repeatedly to bet that maybe Fed wouldn’t stop hiking. People were fighting the Fed

Avoid conceptualizing the market in antropomorphic terms -- markets don’t think, like mobs don’t.

Prefers macro because HFs tiny there, playing against real money and not against true competitors in a zero-sum way

Prior to 1998 financial crisis, he’d never heard of LTCM - just saw T-bond futures limit up every day, meant something was up and to trade accordingly. Often if you wait to find out the reason first, it’s too late. Soros: Invest first, investigate later. Empiricist at heart.

“Fundamentals are not about forecasting the weather for tomorrow, but rather noticing that it is raining today”. Soros GBP short in 1992 was based on something that had already happens (deep recession in UK = unable to maintain high interest rates necessary for ERM)

LT inflation-adjusted housing prices were sideways from the 19th century until mid-2000s (excluding post-Depression bust), and then 2x’d in a few years

Roulette = world of risk, economy = world of uncertainty 

Equity vol tends to be expensive because no natural sellers and everyone is a natural buyer

Markets often confuse liquidity and solvency. You can’t fix a solvency problem by adding liquidity. 

Ex: on a $100k house with $200k mortgage, lending you another $100k doesn’t solve the problem.

Seeks asymmetric trades -- like betting against TED spread narrowing after Bear Stearns bailout in 2Q08. When sentiment improved, didn’t lose much because he’d bet at levels already reflecting optimism 

Lehman going under was not a surprise - it was expected, but people failed to understand what it meant

Stayed short in GFC until April 2009, until they started losing money. Economy stopped getting worse -- what matters for markets is better/worse > good/bad. Sought out another hypothesis-- Asia-led recovery

Marco is 10% storytelling, 90% flexibility and implementation

Soros plays up to his image as a guru, but as a trader he has no regret and no emotional attachment to an idea.

You have to embrace uncertainty and risk

Biggest mistakes are missed opportunities - often believing something acts as a constraint on making profitable trades

Bubbles last a long time and there’s money to be made. Worst thing to do in a bubble is be stubborn and then late to convert

“If it trades like a bull market, it’s a bull market.” 

“Beliefs that are completely invulnerable to evidence and passionately defended are quite durable”. Ex: gold is special

Natural way to trade a bubble is from the long side. Uses options to structure to avoid taking on gap risk on collapse -- low vol bubbles are great for this because premiums stay low

Rare to find comfortable shorts in bear markets. You won’t find a lot of people who have made majority of their money shorting bubbles

Looks for deviations between fundamental probability distribution he perceives and the one priced in by markets

Successful traders adapt and break their own rules. Frameworks > rules

VAR is maligned but does what it claims -- tells you how volatile your current portfolio was in the past. 

Most common error he sees is people setting stops at pain thresholds and not at prices that tell you you’re wrong. People who aren’t convinced they’re wrong by being stopped out will keep putting the trade back on. Sets stops at a level where it would be proof he’s wrong and sizes trades according to what that implies potential loss is. If he gets stopped out, it’s because prices are inconsistent with his hypothesis

Recognizing > forecasting

Ray Dalio

Quadrant conceptualization -- two factors and two states = four conditions. All Weather looks at growth and inflation, increasing or decreasing. Divides world into creditors and debtors x independent monetary policy / don’t control monpol (US/UK = debtors with control; Greece/Portugal = debtors w/o control; Brazil = creditor with control; China = creditor w/o control because of USD peg)

Loves mistakes because they provide learning experiences that catalyze improvement

You will certainly make mistakes and have weaknesses. What matters is how you deal with them

Two core concepts in Principles: 1) improvement through mistakes, 2) radical transparency

8/15/71, when Nixon took US off gold standard, sticks in his mind because stock market went up a lot. Learned currency depreciation/money printing is good for stocks, and don’t trust policymakers. Also, markets anticipate bearish events (rumor --> news phenom) and also bearish events can trigger new events with bullish consequences

Don’t fight the Fed (unless you have very good reason to believe their moves won’t work)

Holy Grail of investing: x-axis = number of investments, y-axis = stdev. Curve slopes down and to the right, ie volatility of portfolio goes down as number of assets goes up. Can only cut correlation by 15% with stocks because avg stock has 0.60 correlation to any other, but if you diversify across 15 assets with average of 0 correlation, you can cut vol by 80%. Structuring trades is key to producing uncorrelated bets. Correlation is an outcome, not an input. Doesn’t look at the correlation when setting up bets, looks at whether drivers are different.

People experience drawdowns bigger than they expect because of lack of understanding of how their strategy performs in diff environments. BW tests criteria to ascertain they are 1) timeless (hold across all diff time periods) and 2) universal (across all diff countries)

Hold ~20 signif positions consisting of 80% of the risk, uncorrelated to each other.

Universal truth that you can enhance R/R by reducing correlation

Transaction costs are a function of the amount you have to move in a given timeframe

Did well in 2008 because critera for trading a deleveraging had been established by study other deleveragings (inflationary = 1920s Germany, 1980s LatAm; deflationary = Great Depression, 1990s Japan)

Avoiding unmanaged contraction is essential in preserving social/political order. Spread problems out to keep g>r with fiscal/monetary policy.

He believes US has gone through 4th of 5 cycles a country goes through; went from “country that thinks it is rich but isn’t” to “decline”. Entire cycle is 100-150 years, decline = ~20.

Biggest mistake people make in investing is believing what’s happened in recent past is likely to persist.

In a deleveraging, monpol is ineffective in creating credit. Diff from a recession where rates can be cut to ease debt service, stimulate economic activity and produce positive wealth effect.

In the business cycle, availability & cost of credit driven by central bankers; in the long-wave cycle, depend on factors beyond bankers’ control

Bubbles occur frequently in countries in Stage 4 (getting poorer but still think they’re rich) because economic actors (investors, policymakers, operators) bet big on trends continuing as they have in recent past. Believe investments that have gone up are good rather than expensive, borrow money to buy them.

Larry Benedict

Risk mgmt dominates his approach. If monthly losses approach 2.5%, liquidates entire portfolio and starts over, trading at reduced size. ~2% loss, cuts unit size to 50% or less than usual. Plays at small size until profitable again.

Key experience for him was being on floor on day of 1987 crash. Learned early that ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

Learned from Marty Schwartz: Don’t average losing trades. Be smaller than you need to be. Take profits.

You can’t be emotional. (Ex: lost a bunch of money going long right after 9/11)

Leave opinions at the door

85% of the time, they mark up market on day of opex. Going on for 25 years.

Trader’s fail because of gambler mentality, ie when they’re losing look for one trade to make it all back.

You are not a trader, you are a risk manager. Never stay in a losing trade because you think it will come back. Minimize the loss. Accept it and walk away. Worst thing a trader can do is freeze. Need to know how you will respond in any situation.

Scott Ramsey

Process: received a printer chart book every week, updated it every day for over 10 years. Made him pay attention to every market, every day.

Buy the rumor, sell the facts puts you on the other side of retail trading

Tries to imagine where the guy on the opposite side of the trade feels and where he’ll capitulate.

Learn a lot when markets have crisis events. Measuring which markets are the strongest during a crisis can tell you which are likley to lead when pressure is off. Always wants to buy stronger and sell weakest.

Only risks 10 bps of AUM on a typical trade but often out before even that is breached--Very quick to cut trades based on how quickly they go in his favor.

Might lose 10x on an idea but on the 11th it works and more than makes up for the losses. (Opposite of O’Shea, similar to Benedict)

Uses RSI a lot -- looks for divergences between RSI & price

One principile you can’t violate: Know what you can lose.

Trading on exchanges or the interbank market give you so many advantages (ie liquidity not at the whim of a dealer) that giving up those benefits not worth it. His style requires liquidity (being able to stop out at 10 bps)

You should always be swinging the bat - reduces position size in a drawdown

Keep a journal of your trades - if you make a mistake, write it down

Ex of shorting the weakest: when QE2 was implemented, Turkish lira couldn’t rally against USD -- meant it must be pretty bearish and would continue to weaken when QE2 ended. Waited for breakdown out of 2-year range to confirm.

Buying a laggard as a proxy for a leader is a bad idea.

Risk-on/risk-off framework broke down in mid-Sept 2011, when commodities diverged negatively from stocks

Jaffray Woodriff

As a CTA, started out using market-specific models but realized they broke down more because over-fitted to past data. Realized more data used to train models = better performance, switched to using same models across multiple markets.

Avoids trend-following or mean-reversion, the two main strategies for CTAs. Instead looks at things like volatility measure which are derived from price without any direct relationship to price direction.

He does not start by formulating a hypothesis and then test that to see if data supports-- blinding searches through data for emergent patterns

Trains models on fictitious (random) data with a certain distribution which provides a baseline -- then come up with models that do much better. Performance difference between real-data model and baseline indicative of performance, not the full performance of the model in training.

Out of sample results >50% of in-sample results indicative of a good model

Stationarity of patterns they’ve discovered surprises him. Takes a ton of deterioration for them to drop a model, because 1 year’s performance is simply not predictive of the next’s. Test it over 30+ years, so 3% provided by most recent year rarely meaningful

Capacity of a model is not statis, move around with changes in volume and vol

Core of their risk mgmt is evaluating risk of each market based on exponentially weighted moving avg of daily dollar range per contract. Target 12% annualized vol.

Key trading rule: Adjust position sizes to overall risk to target a particular vol

Multi-strat

*Ed Thorp

His key insight in blackjack was that while average edge was against the player, player could overcome this by varying bet size (ie betting big when edge is positive and small or not at all when it’s negative)

Picture blackjack probability problem as a 10-dimensional space where every card is 1/13 (except 10-values which pool to 4/13) and every possible deck is some point in that 10-dimensional space whose coordinates are determined by the fraction of each card value remaining in the deck)

With 4 aces out, edge goes to -2.5%. Implies with 4 extra aces, edge of +2.5%. Can’t have 4 extra aces, but can have half a deck with none of the aces out yet, where odds are the same as a full deck with 8 aces.

5s strategy provided higher probability bet, but went with 10s because it provided more opportunities (goes 5s, Aces, 10s, 6s in terms of influence)

“I just don’t scare. I am aware, and I avoid taking foolish risks”

Provable that complete-point-count system (high cards -1, low cards +1) is approximately the best possible system for equivalent simplicity

Don’t be more than you’re comfortable with. Take your time until you’re ready.

Historically, ideas don’t just appear in one place -- appear in several places at nearly the same time (Newton & Leibniz, Darwin & Wallace). This is due to technology

Beat The Market insight was that warrants with <2 years to maturity traded at premiums that were too high, so shorted warrant and bought stock. Initially on static hedge, later with dynamic delta hedging.

His option pricing model came out of deciding he could derive a formula if he assumes all investments grew at RFR.

Kelly Criterion for bet sizing: F= P(w) - [P(L)/W) where F=fraction of capital, W=dollars won per dollar wagered, P(W)=win prob, P(L)=lose prob. Aligns your bet with your edge (win rate - loss rate). KC also implicitly assumes there’s no minimum bet size which is simplifying. F (fraction of capital) is actually fraction of riskable/losable capital (ie less than 100% of capital if you can’t tolerate 100% drawdown) -- if you have $1m purse but can only tolerate $200k loss, KC perspective is your F is based off $200k. If you hedge and neutralize risk, KC may imply using leverage.

Half Kelly is psychologically better because you get 3/4 the return with 1/2 the vol (ie better Sharpe). Also prevents you from overbetting due to miscalculating -- negative impacts of overestimating trade size is 2x as large as negative impacts of underestimating correct trade size by same amount, so err smaller, esp if precise win/lose prob is not known (usually the case in trading).

60-day lookback is usually the best for measuring correlation between assets.

Degree of confidence is key in determining size of trade and also in deciding on how to risk manage (ie take your lumps or employ safety mechanism to limit drawdown)

*Jamie Mai

All trades are structured and implemented to be highly asymmetric and positive-skew

They love bull-bear battlegrounds -- while markets are good at estimating magnitude of contingent liability, they’re poor at evaluating outcomes probabilistically (eg, litigations, regulatory actions, anything else that creates perception of going concern risk)

Whenever a market is pointing at something and saying this is a risk to be concerned about, most of the time the risk ends up being not as bad as anticipated

Looks for cases with binary outcomes where the options market assigns normal probability distribution

Often, the longer the option’s duration, the lower the IV, which makes no sense. Ex: bought far OTM DJIA call as an inflation hedge with very low IV. Taking exposure on the RFR implicit in option pricing models

Another ex: selling vol on Brazilian interest rates where 6-month forward rate was >400 bps from current, implying rates staying similar to current over 6 months was a >4 stdev event. Structured trade around +200 bps strike which was cheap because it was far OTM based on forward rate.

Creative structuring: bespoke “worst of” option for shorting EUR while IV on Euro puts was high. Shorted “worst of” EUR/AUD and EUR/CHF which was cheaper but they expectd both to weaken. If one had expired OTM, option buyer would lose entire premium. Expected correlation between the two crosses is a key input. Their insight was that in a Euro crash, neg correlation between EUR/AUD and EUR/CHF would decouple and both would go down. Allowed them to get short at 1/10 the premium as % of notional as the straigh Euro puts.

Grantham places relative valuations in context of cycle--low-quality outperforms early, and high-quality toward the end.

Strategy called “cheap sigma” -- options prices dramatically understate potential price move of markets that trend. Options prices tend to be underpriced in smoothly trending markets. (Sounds similar to Woodriff who doesn’t bet on trends or on mean-reversion but on vol of prices around trends)

Options math works better over short intervals - options pricing assumes vol increases with the square root of time. Reasonable <1 year, but doesn’t scale properly beyond that. Ex: if 1-year stdev is 5%, 9-year stdev will be priced at 15% (sqrt(9)*5%) which is prob too low. This is because the longer the time, more potential for a trend and for price move to exceed stdev-implied probability.

Their trades combine: a mispricing that arises because standard market pricing assumptions are inappropriate for a given situation + asymmetric R/R profile.

Don’t have high level of conviction in an outcome, instead high conviction in that the odds were mispriced.

High conviction on an event path prices like a low-prob event is their Holy Grail. Subprime CDS was that. Got to the trend late which is typical for them because they like situations where there’s a compelling reason a trade should be working but the only counter-argument is that while it should work, it hasn’t yet.

Their view was that the GFC started on Feb 1, 2007 when ABX started tanking, more than a year before Bear failed. (This is also what Colm O’Shea observed before MMF liquidity dried up in Aug 2007 which showed banks weren’t comfortable lending to other banks)

Their model is to find experts in the domain to follow. “River guides”

Never go outright short a stock due to upside-down R/R. Buy OTM puts, but when rising IVs make that too expensive, shift to ITM to reduce time-value decay.

Require that the expected value of a trade (W * P(W)) >2x expected loss (L * P(L))

They use cash to target portfolio risk (50-80% typical), since the premia they pay put on a lot of risk relative to cash deployed.

Options prices being based on normal distribution implies what’s likeliest is prices near current -- this isn’t always true! If the odds of a large move in either direction are >stdev, OTM options are too cheap.

Optiond models ignore potential to trend and use only vol and time. Implicit assumption is that direction of daily price moves is random, which is not true.

*Michael Platt

Starts from the perspective of “what do I know for sure” -- one of the only things he could say with certainty is that markets trend. Observable in any market, in any era (ie timeless & universal, as Dalio would say)

Markets trend because rather than discounting all information and holding static until new information arises, people remember the past in bullet points and then use thoughts & feelings from the current moment to fill it in.

May initially trend for fundamental reasons, but prices overshoot ludicrously

Another thing you know is diversification works

Best systems degrade -- ways of making money in the market don’t last forever

Describes seeing LIBOR jump 10 bps in Aug 2007 and thought, “this just feels bad and scary” -- was a major signal to him because it happened  “for no reason at all”

He moved firm’s money in 2008 to 2-year Tsys to reduce exposure even to MMFs.

Trades that accounted for gains in 2009 were fading very big call/put skews, selling OTM options and buying ATM.

His firm (BlueCrest) is structured so every trader starts the year with a risk allocation, if they lose 3% their risk gets cut by 50%, and if they lose 3% of the remainder, they’re liquidated. Want people to scale down if they’re getting it wrong and scale up if getting it right. Rebases annually unless a trader carries over PnL (ie doesn’t get paid on a portion of what they made in a calendar year in order to start the next with more leeway). Effectively structures traders like they are options.

Risk management is the most important thing. Key thing his risk mgmt team monitors for is breakdowns in correlation. Most of their positions are spreads, so lower correlations are riskier. If two assets have a correlation of 0.95, can put on a large spread position with relatively small risk. If that correlation is 0.50, can be wiped out very quickly. 

Risk managers scan portfolios for vulnerabilities and ask traders, “if you were going to lose $10m, where would it come from?” Traders will typically known

Bias is neutral-to-long vol, great protection against all scenarios. Hates shorting OTM strikes.

For traders, he wants “people who know that anything can happen” -- as opposed to analysts, people are more prescriptive. Wants someone who understands an edge.

Market maker traders know the market is always right and you are wrong if you’re losing money for any reason at all. Know value is irrelevant in times of market stress, and in those times it’s all about positioning -- markets will trade against positions.

Key problem with analyst/economist types is ego - can never admit when they’re wrong

No tolerance for losses - kills you by impeding you psychologically, making you miss opportunity. 80% of profits from 20% of ideas, so tightening up at the wrong time can have big opportunity cost.

Looks at every trade in his book every day and asks if he’d enter it today at that price. Usually stops himself out of positions due to time, not price. If the trade isn’t working, alarm bells start ringing

Need 3 things to make money: 1) decent fundamental story, 2) good trend and 3) the market handling news the way you think it should. Bull markets ignore bad news, and any good news is reason for a rally. 

Ex: 2s10s steepener trade in 2009 where he kept seeing news that he thought meant he was going to get screwed, but position didn’t move against him. Realized curve could not get flatter no matter how bad the news, 4x’d his position and made a great trade.

Likes to know consensus view because you make the most when consensus shifts. Rather than ask people their position, asks people their position -- they are more willing to talk because they feel important.

“When I am wrong, the only instinct I have is to get out” -- want to be the first one to sell. In investment mgmt, you have an option to keep 20% of PnL, but want to own the serial option of being able to do that every year. Can’t blow up.

Steve Clark

Price is where anyone is prepared to deal, and it can be anything. Need to internalize that

Being inexperienced can be good because fear often cripples people who have been in the business too long. Too many fat tails damages people. You can’t afford blowups emotionally.

Used volume as a screen for what stocks to be looking at because clearly something is going on.

Can’t predict the future from past data - can talk about percentage probabilities of what might happen next, but can’t go any further

When you are trading over short to medium term, your views on the fundamentals are irrelevant - have to gauge what the market thinks of the story.

“Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t” -- dissect your PnL and see what works for you and what doesn’t

Favorite trades in risk arb were parents buying out subs because no due diligence issues and you knew deal would close.

He is very confident in his abilities -- holds the view that he can do anything he wants to.

There is no career in trading, you’re only as good as your last trade.

Enjoyed being a trader more than running a business, because you can’t walk away -- it’s a prison, while being a trader is very free.

You have to train yourself to trade within your emotional capacity

When a merger deal breaks, they cut right away because there is a pocket of liquidity, even if price lower. Price is irrelevant, it’s size that can kill you -- too big in an illiquid stock and there’s no way out

Being busy as a prop trader is important to get you away from the screen. If you have positions on and are waiting for the market to do what it needs to do, need to find something else to do in the interim. Staring at the screen won’t tell you much, you’ll start to overprocess and overtrade. You’ll be less patient and start feeling pain with every tick against you.

Need to be willing to call people to hound them for information, and “ask the next question” -- can infer a lot that way

Nearly all successful traders he’s known have been one-trick ponies -- do one thing very well, and if they stray it’s a disaster.

In 2007-2008, got out of everything directional or long-dated and put all risk into short duration risk arb (wide spreads due to liquidity crunch and high likelihood to close). Only risk he could see to that strategy was brokers changing margin requirements, which would only happen with major market distress, so he bought OTM puts / sold OTM calls on SPX to hedge.

When vol quadrupled in 2008, he decided the world had changed and they need to trade a fraction of before. Most people didn’t do that and got blown up. Doesn’t believe in cutting exposure gradually, cut drastically. Gut feel is important.

Trading rules he lives by: “If you wake up thinking about a position, it’s too big”, “never stop asking questions, speak to as many people as you can, research every opposing opinion.” If a position starts acting in a way you don’t understand, you need to cut it because the market is telling you you don’t know what’s going on.

The market is not about facts, it’s about people’s opinions and positions. “Anything can be at any price, any time.”

When trading poorly, he liquidates everything and takes a vacation -- helps you regain objectivity.

Martin Taylor

Describes being super bearish on Russia in 1997 but the reason it didn’t blow up until Aug 1998 is because the money pulled out of Asia due to the crisis there went to Eastern Europe and Latin America and created big bull markets there. 

Officially, Russia was running a current account surplus, so it seemed diff from Asia (which was a CA deficit issue when countries couldn’t service debt). True measure of balance of payments is what happens to reserves -- even though Russia supposedly had large CA surplus and capital inflows, reserves were going down, not up. Knew reserves numbers were truthful because central bank couldn’t lie without getting found out quickly (by comparing to other CBs). What was happening was exports were hugely overstated in cash terms. Yeltsin government inept and theft of company asset rampant. Money from exports was being diverted into Swiss accounts and never making its way back to Russia. $100m of goods would be sold, would be booked as $50m, missing $50m would go to a Swiss bank account, and $40m of the $50m booked as revenue would be booked as a receivable and also go into that Swiss bank account. So you’d end up with only $10m cash inflow on $100m of goods leaving the country. Simple capital flight.

Money fleeing Asia flowed into Russian market due to post-Communist “miracle” story. First crack was a rumor in Oct 1997 that Yeltsin was in failing health and market dropped 23% in a session. Rebounded 30% the next day as Yeltsin gov’t denied and people rushed in for the buying opportunity. But a sudden break emotionally reminds people they can lose money, and they started studying the fundamentals more closely, which he already knew were bad. Was then -50% by Feb. He doubled down on bearish positioning, and market ultimately declined another 88% from there. Ultimate catalyst was a $25B bond sale done by GS in summer 1998 that should have doubled foreign reserves but only added $3B -- became obvious money was going elsewhere.

Int’l funds were long GKOs because the rates were ridiculously good, but they were so good because nobody domestic wanted to buy. In an EM, the smart money is domestic, not international.

Buying low beta stocks instead of cash is a mistake - market -40% means your stocks -20%, market +50% your stocks +10% = negative asymmetry. For the same reason, EM bonds are inherently unattractive. Structures his portfolio as high-beta stocks balanced by cash or shorts.

He looks for favorable macro situation, a secular trend and good company management.

Ex: As a result of the collapse in 1998, Russian balance of payments picture changed dramatically -->  80% ruble devaluation led to a surge in foreign reserve, “liquefaction” of economy and end of nonpayments culture, meaning workers started getting paid real money and there was a massive increase in purchasing power for middle class, drove a strong secular trend. He saw mobile phone penetration increasing 25% pa and mobile carriers with good mgmt teams, so he owned the Russian mobile carriers from 1999-2005.

Always tells new investors they will lose money with him at various points in the year and it will be unpleasant. Considers it a crucial “health warning”

Net exposure ranges 20-110%. Holds net long positioning even when bearish because he thinks if you’re trading volatile instruments, can never get totally out because you’ll never get in on a reversal. When the market is so bad that you think it’s obvious you should be net short, that’s usually when it’s all in the price and you should be buying. Maintaining 20% exposure helped them avoid getting whipsawed (3 15-20% rallies in 4Q08 alone, all followed by new lows)

Running OPM, can’t take extreme positions and maintain his mental equilibrium. 

Targets upside capture of 70-80% and downside capture of 30-40%

“Tyranny” of HF monthly returns -- comes from FOFs whose clients receive monthly data

Forecast earnings for every company they follow for 3-4 years out, then invest in the ones cheap vs. sector where they have earnings > consensus. Catalyst should be earnings surprise

He was super long AAPL despite the move because it was still cheap on his estimates. Anecdote about RIMM PlayBook which they rushed to market to compete with iPad but without ability to do email on it despite being for corporate market. Predicted RIMM would be bust in 3-4 years.

Bad companies in EM are always at risk of being taken over, because EM is full of sectors where multi-nationals want exposure and their only option is a bad company because regulators won’t let them buy the good one, instead they approve purchase of the bad one because it’s saving jobs.

As such, they focus on shorting bad companies that can’t be taken over because they’re owned by gov’t or their own pension fund -- means it will never be sold because the workers are afraid of layoffs. In EM, that’s ~1/3 of companies owned that way.

His estimates often differ from consensus because he sees a new trend while they are extrapolating history.

If he’s bullish on a stock without a full position and sees a breakout on the chart, will go to full position because market is now seeing same thing he is. Charts are supplemental.

Only time he will initiate a trade based on chart is if a company is extremely oversold, like 3-year low on RSI. Usually means whatever is killing it is in the price. Doesn’t believe RSI works for overbought because stocks can stay overbought for a long time, whereas oversold is usually something pretty acute that resolves in a few weeks.

Gut feel is crucial -- understanding if something isn’t “acting right” is a sign to recheck your work.

Have to be an expert in what you invest in. Need to understand what you invest in. If you don’t understand why you’re in a trade, won’t understand when the right time to sell is.

Post-GFC, volumes took a long time to recover to pre-crisis levels

He had to return outside money in mid-2010 because his confidence was shaken from post-GFC. Only that allowed him to return to his former style.

*Tom Claugus

Obsessed with financial independence from a young age -- attributes to his dad being a product of the Depression, scared to death of being poor and managing to transfer that insecurity to him.

When he went to college, his dad told him he was going to feel like he was going to prison. “You can go out Friday night or Saturday night, but you can’t go out both, or else you won’t get ahead”

Adheres to a discipline of living on 1/3 of his income + 3% of NW (1/3 of ~10% pa target return) and investing the remainder.

Grossing up in a crash -- went into 1987 crash very net short, bought high quality longs that day to raise his net rather than covering shorts, since he was short low quality stocks and saw no need to cover.

Super interesting life story where he was on track to be CEO of Rohm & Haas in Philadelphia but making more money investing than at his job. Hit $1.6m in NW, realized he could live on 3% of that ($48k) and economic necessity to work completely disappeared. Launched a fund, but OPM responsibility weighed on him, closed quickly and almost went back to work.

Can only manage OPM with complete dedication -- “If I am 100% dedicated to managing your money, and I lose you money, I can look you in the eye and say, ‘I did my best,’ and I could be okay with that”

He thinks in terms of reversion-to-mean. Manages exposures relative to a best-fit regressions line for log of prices from 1932-present and calculates a 95% confidence interval (used to be 90% but that failed in 1999) -- output is two lines parallel to best-fit line that encompass 95% of all the months. At lower band, exposure will be 130/-20; at mid 100/-50 (want to be net long at midpoint because of secular uptrend in equities), at high end, 20/-90. Do this for SPX, Nasdaq and Russell 2k and derive a composite target exposure based on those.

Spend 90% of their time figuring out why a sector or stock is expensive or cheap, and what is going to change that. 

Looks for anomalies -- screens for quarterly earnings +50%+ or -30%+ and tries to understand why.

Ex: Rock Tenn earnings up huge recently. Paper co, had been cheap for 4-5 years, mediocre business, looking for a reason to buy but never found anything. Ultimately, industry growth reduced capacity because no new supply and industry consolidated. Ultimately there was an inflection point in favor of suppliers.

Considers +/-7% a normal range of monthly outcomes for his fund -- where they’ve been 90% of all months. Being < -7% and not knowing why is a major red flag. Doesn’t do much proactive risk mgmt. Losing money on longs is diff from on shorts for him

“Evel Knievel short screen” -- companies trying to jump the Grand Canyon that prob won’t make it, his job is to figure out why they won’t make it. Two criteria: FCF burn & >5x BV. Normally ~60 companies, in 1999 it was 180 and 2/3 of them had 2x’d in price in the last quarter.

When market sells off really hard, it’s usually a liquidity issue -- no place to hide in a liquidity sell-off, people sell everything because they have to, not because they want to. Reverse rarely happens on the long side. 

Shorts are actually easier to find than longs -- easier to spot a broken company than a good company, easier to identify bad mgmt than good mgmt.

Track basic indicators to get a feel for economy. Rail traffic & truck traffic tell you whether there’s expansion or contraction. Load factors on airplanes. RevPAR. Construction & housing starts.

He was bullish airlines -- believed airlines’ lack of profitability went back to regulated days, because pricing umbrella encouraged inefficiency in cost structure. Deregulated made legacy carriers compete with newcomers (Southwest) with lower cost structures. Ultimately, all but AA went bankrupt and rx’d costs. And industry mergers have consolidated down to major 3 players.

Describes his process as trying to find oil companies whose price reflects only current production without accounting for ongoing exploration with potential to increase future production. IE, free optionality. People who use fundamental screens (P/FCF) do not see the future revenue in those statistics. AAPL was recently priced at value of existing products without potential for new ones despite a record of consistent innovation. Can also work for asset values -- Paramount Resources which identifies land with potential for O&G exploration and sells it when the area becomes discovered by E&Ps drilling exploratory wells. Numbers never reflect that value because they are not developing it themselves.

Often finds market won’t pay anything for production potential >1 year away

General principle is future revenue generation that can be “reasonably anticipated” but is not reflected in current market price

Joe Vidich

Described by an acquaintances as "an intellectual who was always a trader” -- combined longer-term investment themes with reading of market sentiment in indiv names

Begins by formulating a big picture of the economy & stock market. Looks for themes that drives him to sectors or subsectors. Does fundamental analysis and observes trading activity to select best stocks in those sectors.

Timing in entering and exiting is heavily influenced by assessment of sentiment, which is mostly price action relative to events.

Feels he has most skill on trading from short side due to years as market maker -- if retail order flow long-biases, market maker by definition trades from short side, and is constantly trading out of a short position for every buy order he fills.

Paints as a way to relax

It is always preferable to do your own works and get your own info because then you will have more confidence. If you listen to someone to get into a trade and it goes against you, have to listen to that person again to get out.

A good growth stock is always overvalued and a lousy company is always undervalued. Until you get a turn where market recognizes improvement in business model, a value stock will always be undervalued.

Had a good year in 2008 by realizing banks were heavily leveraged to MBS even though he didn’t understand the securities. Had seen it all before -- a number of big banks went to zero in S&L crisis with insiders buying on the way down.

In 2009, went looking for best business models and balance sheets ot buy -- stocks with lowest financial risk, no need to refi debt and able to ride out a prolonged, deep recession. Ex: no-debt retailers with lots of cash (Gap at $11 with $5/sh in cash and $1/sh of earnings); Shaw at $18 with $12/sh in cash

In a bull market, prices open lower and then go up rest of the day. In a bear market, open higher and fade rest of day. Toward end of a bull market, prices start opening higher

If there is bearish news before the open and market does not trade down much during first hour, indicates smart money is not selling and it’s a buyable dip.

Market sentiment (stock moves) > public sentiment (what CNBC says). How the market responds to external events is extremely important.

Determines where stops are and places buy orders half-point below where they believe that is.

Every stock has its own risk profile. Some stocks can go -50% without it really meaning anything, whereas with KO you should be reevaluating if it moves 5% against you.

“Don’t ever consider yourself right” Begins by selling 20% of a position if it’s on the way down because that way he can feel like he was right either way.

Often best to liquidate entire positions. Harvesting losses forces you to revisit the trade. If you’re in it, you’re always defending it. Liquidating forces you to reevaluate it relative to other opportunities.

To be successful, must be willing to change your opinion. Most people aren’t. Have to be humble about your ideas. 

Most people are more afraid of making money than losing money -- sell a stock that’s +20% but not one -20%, because it would confirm they were wrong.

Big diff between informed sentiment (CEOs) and investor sentiment, which is usually what you want to bet against over the long term.

Considers charts extremely important. One of the best patterns is a sideways stock for a long time that has a sudden sharp upmove on large volume. Wake-up call that you need to take a look.

Critical risk controls are being diversified and cutting exposure when you don’t understand what markets are doing and why you are wrong.

Even if you are wrong to harvest a loss, it cleans the slate which is therapeutic and valuable. Getting out sometimes right before a stock turns is the price you pay to keep your losses under control.

“Don’t try to be 100% right”

“Limit your size in any position so that fear does not become the prevailing instinct guiding your judgement”

Kevin Daly

Regular reading he finds helpful (beyond the obvious): Wall Street Transcript, Dick Davis Investment Digest, Grant’s IRO, VII, Santangel’s Review, Form4Oracle, VIC, SumZero, Vickers Stock Research

Finds reading sellside initiations a valuable first step when researching an idea because of the industry comparisons and background on the company. Found IAA (then IAAI) this way when reading a CPRT report.

Holds a stock “as long as the share price doesn’t get too far ahead of a company’s intrinsic value”

Exposure is usually 30-90% long and 10% short.

Esoteric economic data point he watches is weekly rail car loadings.

Stays as unemotional as possible when things go against him

Jimmy Balodimas

Trades against trend (short ~75% of the time career in aggregate). Always takes money off the table when it’s in his favor - “always always always”

Doesn’t let himself panic, even if he does’t know what’s going on, won’t exit something going against him until he finds out what’s going on and can make a decision, rather than responding out of emotion.

Used to be that intraday trading was more volatile and gave him more opportunities to take chips off when in his favor. Last 5-8 years (prior to 2012) that changed with higher HF participation, they’re now the main players intraday and there are far fewer pullbacks, trends in indiv stocks are smoother. This is why the 2 years from April 2009-March 2011 have devastated shorts much more than any other period (including the Internt bubble), because no opportunities to get out.

Never afraid of missing anything -- market is always providing opportunities. All he thinks about is making money, not being right.

Divides stocks into those he’s looking to buy and short, and then recognizes a pattern in those where there’s a possibility for an accelerated move in a short period of time -- chart, group

People who run most of the money on Wall Street are never going to put their necks out there -- waiting for the trend to be intact and to catch middle part of the move

Joel Greenblatt

Magic Formula: combined rank of earnings yield (EBIT/EV) and ROTC (EBIT / Tangible Capital Employed or NWC+PPE). Basically systematizes Buffett’s cheap+good methodology. 

magicformulainvesting.com

First job on Wall Street was trading options at Bear Stearns, doing risk arbs when forward conversions (long stock + synthetic short of short call/long put at same strike/expiry) returns 18-19% annualized.

Did risk arb on the buyside but negative asymmetry of merger arb turned him off. Instead, attracted to periphery with weird deals or interesting paper being issues. Situations the typical analyst was not equipped to evaluate. Reading the 400-page document he knew no one else was reading.

Example of an early trade was MAR spin of HST. Marriott got caught owning owning hotel properties in early-90s hotel downdraft, Spun those out with the debt into Host Marriott and kept the good (franchise) business, Marriott Int’l. Host was “toxic waste” and heavily leveraged, out of favor. Knew institutions would sell because it was only 10-15% the size of original, too small to hold, diffrent business, looked ugly. He found insiders including the Marriott family kept a big stake and the guy who planned the spin-off was going with HST -- told him HST wasn’t structured to fail. Equity was $3-5/sh with $20-25/sh of debt -- so a 15% improvement in EV 2x’s the stock

Early 90′s trade on WFC where it was trading for $80 and CA was going through a RE recession. Binary outcome in a year, stock was either worth $150+ or $0. Used 2-year LEAPS to turn a 1:1 R/R trade into 5:1

Value approach is very hard to follow -- that’s why it works. Need to have a ton of confidence in it or you won’t be able to follow it.

Gotham just built a database of 4000 US + foreign stocks where they have sourced the historical cash flow and balance sheets themselves. No forward estimates.

By definition, a market cap-weighted index owns too much of overpriced stocks and too little of bargain-price stocks. Comping to equal-weighted index can show you whether that’s costing you performance. Historically over last 40 years that’s been 2%pa. EW index does have more txn costs.

Lesser-followed companies more likely to be misvalued, either under or over. Doesn’t believe there’s a directional bias on that on average.

If you can’t value a business, you have no basis on which to invest.

Investors avoid owning the stocks that are painful to own and thereby miss some of the biggest winners. Observed this empirically from self-managed accounts using their Magic Formula website--letting investors make their own decisions about which of the stocks to own destroyed all of the outperformance.

Believes vol is widely used as a risk metric because it’s easy to measure, not because it’s a useful gauge of risk.

Diff between investors who succeed and don’t is how they think about the market. Everyone bombarded with price movements and news, successful ones build a process for cutting through that.

“no called strikes” mentality

Always assumes minimum bogey is 6%, even if interest rates are near 0. Compares normalized earnings (yield) to higher of RFR or 6%. 

Presumably normalized earnings means “owner earnings” in the WEB sense.

Time horizons for investment performance have shortened. Institutions increasingly likely to redeem from managers who have a bad year or two. This means most managers can’t wait for two years for an investment to work. That’s why companies that are not expected to do well in the next 1-2 years or are subject to near-term uncertainty are systematically underpriced.

Study of managers from 2000-2009 showed 97% of top-quartile managers spent at least 3 years in bottom half; 79% spend 3+ years in the bottom quartile, and ~50% of them spent 3 years in the bottom decile. Probably just as difficult to pick a good manager as it is to pick a good stock.

He is super involved in education reform, charter schools -- believes capitalism works better when everyone has a fair chance and education gives you the most bang for your buck for achieving that goal.

You are setting yourself up for failure if you invest differently than you want in order to place investors.

Manage your PA if you can -- nothing like doing it and learning what it’s like when you lose money and what your emotions are when doing well and not well.

Studying ROIC is key for keeping you out of value traps (not sure I agree with this)
