    Synthetic origin of COVID-19

    "It came from these backward farmers eating bats in this little fishing village in China named Wuhan. Basically, a 3rd world farming community and they don't have enough food so they have to eat bats duhhh" "Who committed 9/11? Ehh does it really matter?

    Who is the Greatest Trader of all time?

    Simons is really the problem with this question. It has no meaning. Jim Simons said himself he sucks at programming computers and sucked at discretionary trading himself. All the greats in modern times are great because of the teams they built. Ken Griffin is worth 30 billion at 54 though...

    Is an ETF's share price driven by . . . ?

    Just to add in the abstract, 2 is never really driven by 1 in this sense for pretty much anything market related Even in the simplest model of 1 - underlie 2 - ETF 3 - arbs You would have a relationship like this with weights and influences moving in time. Everything "driving" everything...

    Shorting TWTR

    The deal is obviously going through and its good clickbait right now for "news" websites to pretend it might not. It is hysterical people click this shit when Musk wanted to get out of the deal a few weeks ago but was basically forced to stick with overpaying lol. Now that is all in the past...

    Bull flag pattern

    That marketinout is a good example of how tough it is. A bull flag is ultimately not that precisely defined. Stock goes up then pulls back. Does 2 days of pull back count? 3, 4, 5? If you get 5 days of pull back, then a big bar up and then next day a big bar down are things broken now? NVDA...

    5 year old playing Mozart

    Hard to blame that kid for not sight reading when he is too young to even read a book though. Baby Yuja playing Debussy Arabesque is still my fav when it comes to kids. Actually my fav performance of the piece in general. Brings an innocence to the performance that is just so fitting. If...

    Any recommendations for a Futures Trading Platform?

    I just love the TOS interface. It was just such a great design from the start that it has never needed to change all that much. Ninja I have always thought has the most pretty charts though. AMP and IB are great as well of course. At this point, the often mentioned companies have been...

    Inflation from Money Printing, Survival, or Greed?

    I can't believe people on a trading board are talking about "corporate greed". Give me a break. You don't think Walmart is trying to under cut everyone right now? It is the entire Walmart business model to undercut all competition. Hysterical that this use to be the exact argument against...

    Excel formula question.

    =LARGE() and =SMALL() will give the nth largest/smallest in a series You just need to have nothing else in the row or column that is basically representing the array/series. Then the only thing you would have to figure out is how you are appending values to that row or column. I would figure...

    Correlation calculator

    I would really question if the strategy is not open to risk you aren't considering. Correlation is ever changing in the markets and using a full year of data might not mean much in a month period. If you run the correlation for C and BAC going back a year from today you get a coefficient of...

    Fairfax schools implemented 'equity grading' to fight 'bias'

    I am pretty sure lower SAT test scores is because the test itself has become harder and harder. It is certainly far harder compared to when I took it 30 years ago. The reading passages are far longer and old style tests were trivial to eliminate wrong answers. New style tests will have 2 or 3...

    TSLA 2022

    The biggest issue they face in the short term is customer saturation. They just aren't going to have the customer base for massive growth over the next 2-3 years because of belt tightening at the margin. I don't know how you can't expect revenue growth deceleration right now. They are already...

    Inflation from Money Printing, Survival, or Greed?

    These restaurants are probably in a death spiral. So many should have failed during the pandemic but we floated all of them and now their only chance is raising menu prices. There isn't nearly enough labor to work in all these restaurants. If 50% of restaurants closed here there would still be...

    Democracy Has No Future

    That quote is correct. So is Ben Franklin saying "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for lunch". This is exactly why we live in a republic in America and not a democracy. Here is some more quotes for Xi worshipers from the American founding fathers: “A simple democracy …...

    5 year old playing Mozart

    I find Mozart incredibly boring but that is kid is unbelievable. I love Yuja Wang playing Debussy as a little kid but I think she was 9 and that kid is way beyond that at 5. I feel bad for the kids who are going to have to compete in piano competitions with him.

    Anyone got dual 49" curved monitors one on top of other?

    I have a 27 inch ASUS ProArt and a 24 inch ProArt turned vertical. You need virtual desktops or you are missing out. I have the animations turned off like in this video and just CTRL left, up or right arrow key to get to my 2 or 3 desktops. With 3 virtual desktops its like having 6 ProArts...

    Anyone else STRONGLY disagree with what the Fed is doing?

    Even with these rate increases, if you spread CPI vs Fed Funds we have never had this big of a spread. We are just reverting to something more in line with historic norms. The Fed should really be applauded for not giving into the political and market bullshit if anything. We don't need the...

    BTC - what is it good for?

    $25 dollar ticks is crazy to me too. Micro ETH futures look nice as well and both have decent open interest. Pricing BTC as CDS seems like complete nonsense to me though. I don't even see why crypto has to be good for anything other than a new type of trading game that is not linked to...

    Trading Fitness

    Need to join a gym and get out of the house. Home gyms just get boring so fast. I would much rather walk outside in the rain or snow than do any amount of time on an elliptical or treadmill at home. That stuff is just torture.
