Just as every cloud has a silver lining, every stock market crash offers generational opportunities. In a month or two, there will be spectacular trades to be had with LEAPS. What are LEAPS, you may ask? This is the best strategy with which to cash in on the gigantic market swoons, which have become a

The Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader is now celebrating its 13th year of publication. During this time, I have religiously pumped out 1,500 words a day, or eight double-spaced typed pages, of original, independent-minded, hard-hitting, and often wickedly funny research.
