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...

I do not understand your comment. How does tether impact the viability and value of BTC or ETH specifically?

IMHO, I wouldn't accept those results on their face but I also wouldn't be as skeptical.

Thanks for this. Much appreciated.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. What I'm trying to do is go mostly risk off, without selling the shares (I'm attempting to avoid cap gains). So I'm trying to construct a position with a max risk that equals my potential tax bill while simultaneously expressing a bearish view. Willing to give up...

I trade based on a fundamental model. I have a position which has gained ~75% in value, and I'm looking to exit the position soon as I see the valuation and timing get stretched. I want to use the potential tax bill on the latent gains to finance another bet (and changed view) using options and...

I am attempting to create a portfolio optimization based on my own criteria. Instead of doing a mean-variance optimization, I am trying to optimize based on something different (let's say I am trying to target low P/E versus the variance in Earnings Growth, so presumably optimizing P/E for...

I’m in Canada but have 100% of the portfolio in USD. Most research I’m reading indicates that stimulus and low rates are the principal drivers for the next 1-2 years of USD decline versus EM currencies. Since CAD is tied to commodities much like EM currencies, I think it makes sense. I’m not...

You're clearly your own worst enemy.

Can you just shut up and listen & learn? We actually got SLE to go on a tangent which could have actually ended up giving us some ideas for what to look for as small participants. When you don't have the specialized knowledge developed yet (ie. me) you need help on where to look. Thanks for...

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.

Well at least you have good taste lol 993?

Mad respect if your 911 is a Singer ...

I agree. Also, this type of crisis creates a ruthless forced efficiency (for example partial work from home that was frowned upon for no real reason). My feeling is companies like Tesla and Uber start to dominate, with small bricks & Mortar businesses evolving to become semi-online and...

For example, BX @ 100K or more shares in one block trade through a dark pool. If that flips a few times, it's a significant % of adv.

Ok understood. Thanks for the feedback.

Thought about what you said...and I think I've identified two occurrences where this happens. Seems to makes sense and coincide with what I think are fund flows. Want me to PM or to post in this thread? Tried to PM you, but I think you blocked the functionality.

BTW - just to follow up on this. I investigated the large block orders. They are all dark-pool fills. I'm unsure what to make of it. PS - I don't think it takes billions to push a large cap. Seems to me 10's of millions would be enough at the right times.

Actually, I used to have this approach. No longer... With material like De Prado’s, for a layperson like me, you can be lead very very far astray. Without the requisite technical background, you aren’t equipped to judge the quality of what you’re learning. So you build the wrong foundation...
