| |
|
|
Q |
You said that you work with me
from start to finish on each
trade. Can you explain this
further? |
|
A |
I
practice each day. To me, it’s
no different than an athlete
hitting golf balls, except my
practice is analyzing the bond
market with my model. I will
call you the night before a
trade and tell you whether I'm
bullish or bearish, when to take
profits, as well as asset
allocation entry points. |
|
|
|
|
Q |
How do your predictions work? |
|
A |
My
predications are based on the
fundamentals as well as my
asset
allocation tables.
|
|
|
|
|
Q |
What about stops? |
|

My model is not designed for
stops. It’s asset allocation all
the way, which can help you
manage
the risk better. |
|
|
|
|

Do you look at any trading
system? |
|
A |
No |
|
|
|
|
Q |
Is your model a system? |
|

No, it’s not. I built it myself.
It’s the fundamentals that drive
bond prices. |
| |
|
|
Q |
Do you look at technical
analysis? |
|
A |
Yes. For instance, if the U.S.
dollar is trending up, this
gives me more information about
Gross Domestic Product. |
| |

Yes. Remember, I have an equal
interest in each trade. I work
from my home-office, anytime you need to talk to me, I
can be reached. Of course, I
keep in close contact with you
as well. |
| |
|
|
Q |
Do others have a model like
yours? |
|
A |
No. I like to refer to my model
as my “mind model.” It’s my own
thought process that can’t be
copied. |
| |
|
|
Q |
Why don’t most traders make
money in commodities? |
|
A |
They can’t focus on one market.
Another reason is that it takes
at least 10 years of dedication
to understand this market.
Experience is “gold.” |
