My Bloomberg acted funny when I started looking at COIN as well

there are many more billionaires in NYC than they mention as well.

like kneeling during the national anthem to bring attention to this.

I was shocked at my pnl when I studied it in December. When in the weeds it was actually slow and steady with some big years and no down years.

Many trade because they cannot suffer the drawdowns of a buy and hold. For example : a pension fund has to earn 6percent a year to cover their pension liability. If they don’t earn 6percent one year, the company has to put that money into the fund. If you can outperform the market year in...

most institutions actively trade to produce better risk adjusted returns. Returns that have less volatility but are likely lower than the market.

I disagree with the statement if you can’t Beat Buy and hold you shouldn’t be trading. Outside of quasi arbs and some seriously capital constrained strategies it’s hard to beat the market every year. That’s why so few do it.

why not? I don’t see why it’s not relevant to a trading discussion?

the point of the OP’s video is that you have to be able to ride the roller coaster.

Here specifically opportunity is being long the market vs waiting for a down swing to enter at a lower price. it doesn’t apply to speculation. if you like an investment buy it now instead of waiting for a time that the price might drop. NYC real estate is down a lot - it’s still higher from...

I agree with his sentiment. Lost Opportunity is as great of a sin as losing money.

peter lynch ran one of the most successful mutual funds for decades. He might be one of the top five investors since the Great Depression. he wouldn’t fit the definition of “eye candy and knows enough to be dangerous”

Actually I think it's different. Real arbitrage opportunities are persistent because not everyone can exploit them.

Hedging is tricky. If you bought the cheap otm calls then you would doubly lose if aapl just sat here. I think hedging a long stock position is generally a losing idea except for in tactical situations.

you are so smart. How muc he’s still picking between black and white.

it’s a Frenchman (of Lebanese heritage) vs an axis power bent on genocide..... who do you think he’ll root for?

Ageless ? No. Timeless? Yes.

cant the same argument be made for stocks like Amazon (which for decades showed no profit) and for now show no signs of paying a dividend.

I’m not a bitcoin fan but I disagree that bitcoin is a zero sum game. It went from zero to a positive value - that’s real wealth creation, similar to amazon stock. (I understand the exp3ction of future cash flows, etc that justify a stock price and don’t apply to bitcoin)

Many covered call funds are scammy. They seek to pay a certain cash flow yield and then things get dry start dipping into the capital base to keep the yield up. You are better doing the portfolios on your own.
