Thanks for that…I didn’t know you could tag users.

Was just wondering if Kevin Schmit or Same Lazy Element could opine on something. I am trying to develop my own factor model for something that I want to trade on. Specifically, the risk of companies disappointing on guidance. I was wondering if I should be using a Cox-Proportional Hazard...

Love it. I want to build myself a backdate Hotrod based on a 3.2 but it’s a pain in the ass along the same lines as renovating.
