Free Money For Those In The Know
by Alex King, CEO, Cestrian Capital Research, Inc
Today was a superb day in equities if you know how to trade long and short at the same time. There was free money on the short side there for the taking and there was free money on the long side for the taking. And yea verily did hedged traders take advantage of this.
Speaking personally my investing and trading performance took a material step up when I learned the art of hedged trading. I had a reasonable idea about how to do this but the final pieces took some learning from Robert P. Balan (you can follow Robert on X, here) and one of his gurus, ‘Lowerlightbebeaming’ (notable only by her absence from social media). And these final pieces of the puzzle make days like today a joy.
If you’d like to learn how to trade long/short using the hedging method, I have three suggestions for you, in increasing order of cost.
Free:
- Follow Robert Balan on X - here.
Not-free:
- Long/short e-mini futures with Van, here
- Long/short ETFs and options with Gains, here
- Long/short Nasdaq, S&P, Dow, Bonds and Semiconductor, plus 80+ stocks under coverage, personal account trade alerts plus daily long form market analysis, live chat and weekly live webinars, here.
Let’s get into the weeds.
