From one of your earlier threads I seem to recall you are a PM at a hedge fund? Are you certain that is not going against SEC regs by telegraphing your personal trades in a public internet forum?

Welcome to the future of this planet. As each year passes I notice some store, some restaurant, some function at the airport check-in process, some doctor's office have one or more employees replaced by an automated machine or a web based procedure. And it seems to be happening with alarming...

Therefore they use shitty tactics like intentionally slowing down older devices and forcing obsolescence. Never had any of these issues on my 5 year old Samsung with automatic updates all the way through. Lightweight/clean/open-source versus bloated/clunky/proprietary. 20 years from now Apple...

My brother in law just sold his firm for $25m. Not sure what the multiple was though as I did not ask him his EBITDA. Is 10X pretty standard with software companies? What if I invented a software widget that earned $100k net for me each year? Would somebody buy my company for $1M??

sea level rise is no joke. Just ask the mayor of miami beach - he is seeing it with his own eyes.

Good going. Would you share the nature of the small biz you started? And what kind of consulting do you do?

no I don't do that. I just treat each account as an individual silo and money is not transferred back and forth. Wouldn't be easy anyway since accounts are spread across several different brokers/custodians. But I know what you mean - if I dynamically moved unused cash between strats it would...

not sure what you mean, can you clarify?

It is manual but systematic. In other words I have real time data feeds coming into my calculations and I execute manually when the signals get triggered.

More than 30 strategies. I have a separate account for each one - allows for easy performance monitoring.

I take back calling him a buffoon.

In the early years, the high fees and high incomes in the HF industry were a product of market beating abilities, usually with pretty simplistic techniques. Risk taking was encouraged and rewarded with 20% or 30% incentive fees. These days that magic is long gone and HF industry on average is...
