Now you will have made them homeless because you were greedy.

The great billionaire market trader Paul Tudor Jones talks about a 5:1 risk/reward ratio.

How it works is as follows, say on a US$100K investment:investor/lender converts CAN to US at today's rate $0.78 costs approx CAN$130K (with trader commissions)investor/lender then locks in to buy the CAN$130K back at today's rate, cost is generally 5% of amount or in this case would be $6500the forward contract is generally good for one year, so be sure to sell the property within that timeframe since if you do not fulfill the contract, your 5% option is forfeitedso let's say the CAN dollar goes to $0.85, then you'd need approx US$110K to repay the CAN $130K, but with the forward you are locked in at the $0.78 so only the original US$100KThe only downside is that the FX trader commissions are approx $0.005 on both the buy/sell transaction so you're down a full cent on the trade.  

They are greedy you know whats and that is all they care about.

If you are a greedy, go-for-mine type of person, you will be more so with money.  

As I am watching episodes of "American greed", I am relieved that I am investing in real estate, something I have more control over than stocks or bonds, something I can add value to.

Don't mean to sound greedy but we put in a lot of hard work for our buildings , and random brokers are collecting thousands of dollars in profits that can be put back in to our company.

I know the stop-loss is a core tool for most professional traders, I am curious as to how those of us investing in index funds might use it.

I have even had family members tell me are you so greedy you want more?
