    The breathtaking cluelessness of Elon Musk

    I hate politics and just can't imagine being one of these crazy people that hate Trump but at the same time have no life other than bashing Trump. How can any thinking person find Trump interesting in 2022? Feels like we are just drowning in retards.

    Going to smaller timeframes, is it worth the effort in the end ?

    The problem is that you can keep pealing layers of the onion if you drill down. If you use ticks on ES what about order book? If you use ES order book what about the options chain? If you use the option chain what about the option chain order book? If you use the option chain order book what...

    Metformin for aging

    Maybe if my blood work looks bad at 65+ I would consider it but taking metformin for 30+ years is insane to me if your goal is to live as long as possible. You are basically betting on a type of free lunch and racing to be first in line to see what the consequences are. TRT from 50 to death...

    Anti aging supplements

    There is no supplement that is even going to be close to calorie restriction, weight training and getting your VO2 max as high as you can. Drugs like metformin have a risk of having no clue what the effects will be from 30+ years of using the drug. Testosterone replacement is the only thing...

    UN's new (WOKE) plan...

    Just to play devils advocate for the UN, I think her plan is completely crazy but she must think the current path we are on is worse. I think when she says we don't know how long and deep a global recession will be really means the UN economists think we will have a long and deep global...

    Stocks can catch up once inflation data starts to ease

    We are in like fall 2000 that everyone knows the party is over but everyone is massively hung over and in denial that there isn't going to be another bash like that for some time. It is a much worse spot than 2000 though. Much like partying as hard as in 2000 but now you are 20 years older and...

    Russia & Ukraine

    All this is a side show. Russia is getting exactly what it wants from this war. Ukraine is being obliterated and oil and gas is being kept high. They aren't going to use nuclear weapons when they are barely even using their air force. It seems super obvious that Russia wants us to believe...

    Trading on Linux

    Worrying about tweaking linux is 20 years outdated. Unlike Windows that can add every dumb feature no one wants imaginable because of the monopoly, linux has actually had massive competition within the ecosystem and the dividends are self evident. People today use the winners of 20 years of...

    Capitalism run amok? Paypal tries social score system to steal $2500 from users

    No worries. The free ATM for all these assholes at tech companies is over. They are going to have to actually worry about profit and not dog sitters, gourmet vegan lunches and "misinformation". It is hard to blame them though from becoming completely divorced from reality after a decade plus...

    Did I do my Sharpe ratio wrong?

    I don't disagree but that is also exactly why annualizing is not painting a realistic picture with 9 months of samples. On a yearly basis it is trying to draw statistical conclusions from 1 sample.

    Did I do my Sharpe ratio wrong?

    I was going to say I think the period is .8 something if the risk free rate is zero. For a risk free rate of 3.1 you would just subtract .258 from each return before averaging. .8 sounds right to me as if those represented yearly returns it wouldn't be all that. Of course, if this system ran...

    Tether : Cuts Commercial Paper Holdings To Below $50M

    Our regulators are just a complete joke and captured. The senate banking committee sent them a letter almost a year ago and nothing ever happens. It is outrageous considering they would be the 44th largest bank in the US.

    Trading on Linux

    It works great on Kubuntu but I usually just end up using the web interface anyway for order entry.

    Trading on Linux

    Nice. I tried Xfce but KDE Neon is just prettier and everything is ultra fast with the animations turned off. There just isn't much fat to cut off if at all with the animations off. I really like having a user account that is not for screwing around surfing the web but for productivity. That...

    Elon just got smacked ($TWTR)

    I tried to make a twitter account for about the 10th time but it is just so hard with how toxic the platform is. Steve Hanke posts some interesting things on global inflation but then this morning the feed is literally things on fire. Cars on fire, people protesting lighting things on fire...

    META Likely bottomed

    I put on a swing trade long late Friday at $133.22. I love React but hate everything else about this company so just held my nose. Looking for a bounce and then sell to dip buyers who have convinced themselves there is value here at this price. Long term, I just think the metaverse is...

    Trading on Linux

    I wouldn't even consider using anything else besides KDE at this point. If you haven't tried it yet, for sure go into Settings/Workspace Behavior/Desktop Effects and then turn everything off besides Translucency. KDE is so fast with animations turned off. I always change the Global Theme to...

    A Semi-automated system with Python and IB api

    Yea sorry, I was trying to be cute in some sense but there is so much nonsense in this thread about C++. No one is writing python in a text editor and then running it directly in the interpreter with no libraries for anything of consequence. The whole point of not writing everything in assembly...

    When you eat may dictate how hungry you are, study says

    Same here. I have water, a cup of coffee and 50mg of a caffeine pill. I eat some nuts or something small around 1 or 2pm and then eat my meal at 4ish. I use to not be able to imagine working out fasted and now I can't imagine working out not fasted.

    Market Expects Recession Cry To Be Met With Fed Put

    It looks like they have only shaved 200 billion so far https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WALCL September looks like they reduced by 30 billion. They are certainly not doing a 100 billion a month. Fed Fund futures though haven't been pricing any rate cuts for a bit like they were. Market right...
