You trade index ETFs. It’s not that different. Except you could have been adding to your short position with futures while that’s not possible with SQQQ.

Why just watch the futures market Sunday evening when you can be trading it? Watching a moving market without being able to do anything is called wasting time. Having a position in a moving market and not being able to do anything is called stupidity.

Maybe I’m missing the proposed exchange of value. My assumption is that your model hasn’t led to a level of profitable trading that you’re seeking. If that’s the case, it just seems to me you don’t have much to lose by revealing your model’s “secret sauce” in exchange for the programmer’s labor...

Would it be accurate to say that you would not be contemplating a collaboration if you’ve made a lot of money trading your model as is? You could just hire people to make the tweaks you want and continue trading. Are you maybe overvaluing your model because of the personal cost to you to get to...

I didn’t read much farther beyond this question. Is 5% now considered extraordinary? SMH

When you say “Bitcoiners have figured out what the game is” and “the game is money” I think you mean you see Bitcoin overthrowing the current fiat money system. That seems to be the story being sold and it strikes me as a very naive notion. But I will add your recommended books to my reading...

You are a true believer. That’s your choice. I have zero desire to dissuade you. I am just passing some time on a message board. Twenty to thirty years ago I didn’t think about the market cap of a company. P/E was all the rage. What does a market cap of a trillion or two or three mean to me...

Bitcoin is in the consciousness of the herd. $1 million for Bitcoin is now the common refrain. I think the hype dial has been turned up to its maximum. The one pathway I see for the price of Bitcoin to reach new heights is hyperinflation. I just don’t see that happening, however. Volcker is...

It seems to me he got instant celebrity status for himself and major publicity/marketing for his own token. All that for a mere $2.9 million. Apparently, the holders of his token are now left holding the bag. Who knows how much money he made. He is in Iran, but if he were in the U.S., another...

Anger and hate are ways to deal with depression. But they take too much energy to maintain and I think ultimately lead to poor life choices. I like the suggestions made by the black-ass guy. For starters keep it simple: make a lot of money, eat well, fuck a lot of pussy. No need to overthink...

Blaming day trading for ruining people's lives is a fresh headline in the UK I guess. The real exploitation is that this blather of an article is behind a paywall.

Salty about what? I’ve been in this game a long time. Every generation has its own hype. It’s all just money to me.

He is talking up his book. Just like you and your buddy Sprite do on this forum. Except I’m sure he has a larger captivated audience.

It will take a few more rounds of tightening by the Fed to get the herd heading to the exits. With so much money in index funds, the waves of selling will be unrelenting I imagine. I don’t see a 1930’s-type depression reappearing. After 2008, it’s clear the Fed will buy up everything, either...

If you are “giving” with the expectation of getting something in return, that is not really giving. That is called bargaining. The party you are bargaining with may be your god, the “universe” or your fairy godmother. Good for you that you are happy with your wife, but finding someone to marry...

It’s fine to eat nigiri with chopsticks if you want to. It’s easier to eat by hand. Pick it up and dip just the fish side in soy sauce. That’s cumbersome to do with chopsticks. Dipping the rice side, which most people using chopsticks do, will soak up too much.

Nigiri is eaten with the hand. That’s why you’re given a hot towel to clean your hands. High-end sushi places are a rip off. They charge what they do because pretentious people pay it. I grew up eating it but I don’t eat any uncooked fish now. No farmed fish either. I cringe when I see people at...

Evidently, you quoted my post to reply to what I wrote. But after reading your rambling soliloquy, I don’t know why you did. What I stated is just basic facts about the ES. It’s not in line with your beliefs, I get that. Your beliefs are your beliefs and you get the consequences of having them...

ES is a futures contract. I.e., there are two counter parties for every transaction, a long and a short. To call ES a “long only” market is to not understand what a futures contract is. In addition, it expires every quarter. Putting up a chart of something or other from 1971 is to, again...
