I am long a few shares of AMD at the moment and was curious about a volatility measurement. Does it make more sense to use VWAP or the close price when calculating daily volatility for a stock?

Thanks! It is currently running on 3 nodes so it generally responds quickly. Good to see you!

Sorry, I should clarify -- you can use the data however you want. I just meant that if someone wanted to design a service around the API, I would want to talk with them first. The API documentation is here: https://github.com/pushshift/api/blob/master/README.md Currently, the system can...

Sure! I am primarily a data scientist with an emphasis on big data (ingest, archival and search). I currently run a search API for Reddit comments and submissions and have monthly dumps of all Reddit comments and submissions. I have extensive experience in cataloging and making data easily...

How is everyone! It has been a long time but I am back and happy to see everyone! Wow 15 years flys by. Anyone still on here from the 2002 era?

I disagree. The market is in shambles. People are now seriously debating on whether it is worth cashing out their 401(k) now before they have nothing. Especially people close to retirement. True unemployment is now over 10%. Many people have given up looking for a job and are not included...

Don't worry about that since inflation will take care of that solution. Best bet is to purchase a gun and become very proficient in aiming.

I'm just blogging in a van down by the river. Thank god I'm picking up a wifi signal from the local church nearby.

So where do we go from here? Has the banking system suffered unrecoverable systemic damage? How many billions upon billions more will AIG shed. How many more bailouts?

700.84? Is it too late to vote? I'm going with 700.

What a day! President of Exchange: [Randolph Duke has just collapsed with shock] Mortimer, your brother is not well. We better call an ambulance. Mortimer Duke: F**k him! Now, you listen to me! I want trading reopened right now. Get those brokers back in here! Turn those machines back...

You haven't lived until you've had an asian go down on you.

Time to cash out into hookers and blow and ride this one out for the rest of the week from a casino in Vegas? Am I close?

So what? What if each day that gain was .00000001%? Again, it is just using carefully crafted terminology to scare people out of the market so that the smart ones can get better discounts on long-term positions. I've lost more than 3 months of gains in one drunken night in Vegas!

You mean -- watch what is left of it ...

With all due respect, what happened today wasn't all that climatic. Leave it to the major news networks to find some way to word it so that they could get people scared. Today was a correction that was probably set off by China. Today wasn't a "huge" drop -- it was a correction (and a...

If it keeps dropping, I'll just buy more. I've been here before -- I know how this plays out.

What a drop! Exciting times ... I wonder how China will react once they open? Bring the truck back -- there's a big sale on stocks!

I'm not sure how many of the old crew still reads this board (from around 2001-2002), but I'd like to say hi to anyone who remembers me. I was reminiscing recently about old times and how times change and people mature and grow up (like me -- and Gordon Gekko -- is he still around?)...

And some good, home cooked apple pie. ;)
