    For those not old enough to remember...Nick Leeson

    Haven't seen the real man before, just the actor from Rogue Trader. Man he looks (looked) completely irresponsibly nuts in reality. :D

    Russia & Ukraine

    Yeah Forbes isn't my preferred source either. I had noted that T-55s were deployed to the sector already in H2 2022, but it makes very much sense that they haven't been the preferred frontline tank. My own surmisal (semi-wild speculation) is that Russian game plan is to do a last offensive...

    Russia & Ukraine

    T-55 back to an assault vehicle role for lack of other vehicles, which it isn't doing too well in: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/02/05/russia-wasnt-supposed-to-deploy-its-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-in-direct-attacks-but-then-russia-got-desperate/?sh=883b2a73a294 What's next, T-34s?

    Morningstar Calls Cathie Wood The Worst 'Wealth Destroyer'

    I don't have evidence for this but I suspect quite a few that invest with her don't do so because of her track record. So she will be fine, she's an excellent marketer.

    London open FX strategy sold for 2.6 EBIT, $16.4m to PE

    Not that I know much about Forbes' intended quality level but that "article" is absolute cringe.

    Could AI Trading Bots Transform the World of Investing?

    AIEQ was a pure marketing ploy anyhow. Anybody who has tried knows that generating alpha is not as simple as connecting a "smart" algorithm that does well in other more static contexts. Memory lane: Back when for a short while, QuantConnect tried letting people live stream algos, I streamed an...

    Russia & Ukraine

    Russia offered $500 billion and 10k troops to Catalan separatists back in 2017, currently being investigated... https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/18412-spain-extends-probe-into-russian-involvement-in-catalonian-independence-plans Tangential to the topic, but I wanted to point out that since Russia...

    Something isn't adding up. Hmm. Averagee expenses vs income. Very fishy...

    Comparing avg and medians for values depending on wealth in the US is meaningless indeed. An example of why: The skew is massive. The chart I managed to find with a 1 min search is for equity ownership, but charts for income and expenses would look quite similar. So the averages are pumped up...

    Bad days for Putler: 1) Ukraine 50 billion EUR funding unlocked after Hungary budges: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-01-25/hungary-reverses-opposition-on-new-eu-weapons-fund-for-ukraine 2) New German support package of ~500 combat vehicles including 80 tanks, 230 000 artillery...

    Russian vs drone, just a reminder of how this war is going (don't watch if sensitive):

    Down to about $90k, where would you park it if your trading skills were trash?

    Mostly valid, but to be fair ET does have pros on here, even if they're a small percentage of active posters. But yeah takes some time to learn identifying them

    You responded to my same post twice so it might have been me. :p

    IMF warns AI to hit almost 40% of jobs worldwide , nothing so see here, move along!!!!

    The fundamental assumption of capitalism is that human work has value. The question is whether this assumption will hold or break down this century. If the latter we can't go on with the way things used to work.

    Trump’s ‘Miracle Covid Cure’ — Promoted Heavily on Fox News — Linked to 17,000 Deaths

    That's my first thought. Although we need to try, there's a limit to how much stupid people can be protected from themselves. Darwin's principle just applies to people young enough to not yet have spawned their offspring though, if there being a slight bonus to having one's grandparents alive...

    Why and when do you assign an anony function to a var?

    While JS is not my language and it varies a bit over languages, in general you use the anonymous form to pass functions as arguments for very simple cases where writing the named function is overkill. I.e. in particular a case where you don't even bother to put it into a var...

    lol you losers

    "Stolen election" claims are so tiresome. No evidence worth the paper its printed on has been presented to date, as examplified by the fact there have been no court rulings in favor of. It's demonstrably a circle jerk echo chamber shit show and Trump induced psychosis.

    do not trade index futres.

    Index futures are some of the best products for traders, you get the clear long bias after all, and spreads are usually tight during RTH.
