It's like the three times divorced person wondering why they keep getting stuck with spouses who are so hard to get along with. Gotta love the FNG!

Like I said, you are implicitly saying you've discovered something that none of the rest of the market has. That makes you absolutely brilliant, in fact far smarter than anyone here, so why waste your time asking any of us mere mortals a question like that? My point being that you probably...

They gave it a catchy/exciting/scary sounding name, and therefore has always result in more in spilled over it than it strictly deserved in my opinion. If reporters just had to call it "One of the 4 times a year all options expire" only the geekiest of us would even know about it.

This won't work, and there are two explanations as to why. The first is the most intuitive and it will serve you well to learn it early in your trading career. The market is made up of thousands of very smart individuals. Thousands of them are smarter than you (and me). If you don't like book...

Nor do they tell you which of the thousands of companies you may be interested in taking the time to look at said footnotes for!

You make an interesting point. The internet originally democratized news access, which leveled the trading information assymetry a good deal. Now we have self-selecting ignorance, where a good portion of the trader population doesn't grasp the difference between commoditized information and the...

Much of the advice on this forum is indeed worse than worthless, is just plain wrong. Look no further than this thread. There can be nuggets of good info among the crap, it's not inconsistent to point that out.

Sadly sle has left the board, our loss. Appreciate your thoughts though, only a couple of you with actual experience in the industry left here.

I don't think the issue was returns, it was variability of returns which was huge vs something like market making. I think the model you mention of having a prop trader or two at a desk to take advantage of the (usually) legal inside info would definitely come back if it could. Many would argue...

Prop trading still wouldn't be allowed, it would just make it somewhat easier to claim that you aren't prop trading even if you effectively are. Unlikely that prop desks come back at big banks, they were going away anyway and no reason to incur the regulatory risk on a business line that it...

I think the millennials term for guys like him is "incel".

Well you can do self-deprecating humor, so good on ya.

If you marry someone of equal intelligence/motivation as yourself you don't have to worry about your precious being taken from you by an evil woman because she would have contributed half of what you both accomplished together. Won't help with the cooties though, you still gotta watch out for those.

MGTOW - "A creeping cult of male loserdom"

The lack of rigor on this thread is simply appalling! So you want to know if Tesla's cars' batteries were charged during their NHTSA tests. How would one go about figuring this out? We wouldn't want to lookup the NHTSA test protocols for electric vehicles, which one can find with a 20 second...

:banghead: :banghead::banghead: The worldwide number of fires is going to be a lot higher than 174,000! And regardless the numbers are orders of magnitude off from any assertion that EVs are highly likely to catch fire, or even nearly as likely to do so, even with your faulty math. You're...

I very much enjoyed the Inca Trail as a hike, but sadly Machu Picchu is accessible to anyone by a bus and train and as a result it's jam packed with entitled tourists (mostly fellow Americans) and nothing spiritual about it. Camino de Santiago, definitely on my list. Have you done it? Would love...

At this point you're rather desperately grasping around, and that in and of itself is the fascinating piece. At some point you rather randomly came to the conclusion that EVs were a fire hazard, obviously without any quantitative or factual research backing it up. But as soon as someone...

I'd tend to agree. Dripping gasoline that autoignites at 550 on a 700 degree exhaust mainifold will tend to lead to suboptimal results!

The statistics I quoted were all for the U.S. You used the worldwide number of vehicles and the U.S. number of vehicle fires and EVs, which clearly will lead to erroneous results. But again, good job demonstrating how tenaciously you cling to an idea that you arrived at with no data when...
