that's some ridiculous numbers....
compare it to a two bedroom apartment in Moscow worth of ~ $400k....
and rent of ~60,000 rubles/month.... which used to be $2000.....and now only $1000...
was 6%/yr, now 3%/yr.....
LOL

Just type in condos for Schaumburg, & north suburban Chicago then go to Zillow.
You will see price & rent estimate.
You will be asking yourself why would you be playing around with
such an uncertain thing like stocks when you can make rent & appreciation.

I will certainly take a look.
Stocks have too many disadvantages over futures/options. It took me some time to learn it.

==========================
I'm in the process of learning futures. I'm thinking it's prolly easier to make money in E-minis.
Re: real estate - I had some rental units. IMHO, RE is a good investment IF YOU LIKE PEOPLE.
My tenants were always trying to scam me, so I had to get out of RE.

In fact, SWKS & AAPL - these will be my last stock trades.
Not doing this anymore.
It's futures or bust!

I like volatility - and I see good potential in arbitraging contango VIX futures.... which are backed by statistics....
Limited risk and robust results. Much better than using volatility ETPs - those guys have the weighted combo with every-day balancing, which decreases the performance by a lot...
Plus, neither of the combinations (1-2 months for XIV and 4-7 months for ZIV) are optimal for shorting...

Yep. It's too easy to cheat.
Not a problem in the futures market.

Still waiting on XIV...and nothing looks pretty as of now.
SPY rejection at the close (199.44) is pretty bad IMO....we'll see

VIX first contract expiration today. Which means that XIV has a lot of over-priced 2nd month futures, that it will start dumping tomorrow.
