Entirely depends on your position size. If you have a stock position that's initially 1% of your portfolio, then it fall to 0.5% of your portfolio, and you average down by doubling it back to 1%, it's doesn't appreciably impact your ability to continue "playing the game". If you start with an...

Zero surprise here really: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/01/russian-pranksters-reveal-odes-to-putin-were-translations-of-nazi-verse Russia is functionally indistinguishable from Nazi Germany at this point.

Thanks, will have a look. [on first glance it looks solid, bookmarked] A rather good Swedish 1-man aggregator/blogger (unashamedly pro-Ukrainian and hence a tendency towards selective and speculative reporting, but striving to be factually correct) is https://cornucopia.se/ (Google Translate)...

The SCOTUS just granted Joe Biden dictatorial powers through this ruling. He can of course use them to fix the SCOTUS.

Yeah that is the premise. For sure, that's going to hurt. But Russia is in a pretty bad shape, all things considered: Very close to being out of tanks. Artillery has been on a clear down trend. The non-war economy is tanking. Official statistics of course seek to tell a different story...

Turns out orcs have poor sanitation: https://news.online.ua/en/cholera-and-typhus-are-spreading-rapidly-in-the-russian-army-in-ukraine-881095/ Diseases have defeated invading armies in the past...

What data you feed into your model is generally far more interesting than the model itself. You *can* solve the problem of mapping input data to trading behaviors with "AI" (super wide term), among other tools, but because AI is the cool word right now plenty of people are likely throwing it...

What's your reasoning on Ukraine falling in 2025? The wrecked energy infra?

Biden was the one having a spectacularly ill timed bad day. But it ain't a pretty setup for the election either way with the "choice" being too old versus too old. The Democrats could do worse than replacing Biden at this juncture. Because he's just not going to win after this performance.

You respond with something completely irrelevant to the quote. Nonwithstanding that, Russia used them first and Ukraine bomb their own territory (includes Crimea) exclusively until very recently. I follow this war daily since it's in a neighboring country. Meanwhile you guys look very...

Plain wrong.

Sure, it has even happened a few times by now that people were hurt due to Russian attempts (successes and failures alike) to shoot down incoming Ukrainian munitions. But that's the way war is. If you're going to a vacation inside a warzone, it's not possible to be perfectly safe from collateral...

You have missed there is an active bombing campaign to take out Russian air defenses and other military installations in Crimea? It is hit daily.

1) ZH is a site well known as linked to the Russian propaganda machinery. 2) Russia shot down the ATACMS, hence fragments rained on their civilians (who are on vacation in occupied territory while a war is going on, brilliant idea). Video in question: Look, if this munition actually was...

Speaking of XIV, it was an ETN, which is basically an unsecured promise of a financial institution to deliver certain return characteristics. My understanding is ETFs hold assets in a segregated account at a custodian, which is a bit of a guardrail from the provider failing. Of course a...

Inline with expectations:

Agreed. Although I should add I find his (her?) posts are pretty good by ET standards since he make specific claims that can be tested. I'll go and backtest all of his strats in a year or something with new data as it should be pretty fun to see forward performance.. have a hunch it will "go...

Are you able to grasp this simple argument: that there will not be lasting peace if a dictator is rewarded for attempting to conquer a country? If you do agree, then you are the warmonger. If you don't agree, you are a total imbecile. I don't think you are a complete imbecile but that makes...

Anecdotally, I noted an article today about one of the biggest banks in Sweden having GME as their largest position in a particular tech fund... The fund AUM was just like $7 million though when I checked so small potatoes. But yeah there's institutional trading in this.
