Speak for yourself but I want immigration. Good luck with your nativism.

Well that speaks to the dual nature of risk — it’s both probability and exposure to an outcome.

1. That website is pretty much an echo chamber of right-wing and far-right ideas 2. This is an allegation, which is not the same thing as evidence 3. The allegation does not have merit: When Davis ran the data, he found that, of the approximately 35,000 Georgians who indicated they had moved...

This doesn't make sense. We're not spending money on immigration, people are coming to the US out of their own volition. We want immigrants and prefer to have them, and would also like all of the talented and open-minded people from China and India (and everywhere else) settle here as it's a...

How much money are we spending on immigration? Immigration is natural and should be seen as a resource if your country is lucky enough to get it, as opposed to brain drain. It's a great way to deal with slowing population growth because the costs are low -- it's not like we are paying the...

Lol. :)

Can you point out what you are finding to be false?

Stock prices are known to be more peaky than a normal distribution, which complicates things.

I gave you my personal definition. Risk to me is 1) total capital loss or 2) not hitting a goal (estimation error in probability). What is risk to you?

Modern day scalpers are HFT. If you are trading spreads wider than that you either have a more sophisticated model (unlikely) or are taking on much greater risk than you anticipate.

For people that get triggered when seeing math equations -- just read the key to see what goes into the equation to understand it. The greek stuff and symbols just tell us the math operation that's taking place (e.g sum all, transpose, multiply the series, etc.) so that anyone can replicate it.

he probably realized that covid deaths are correlated to his drop in ratings...

I don't get why you think that we cannot support our people and have immigrants at the same time lol. You are framing the argument as if immigrants are taking much-needed resources from people born here, but I have yet to see evidence of this. I would also argue that immigrants (people that take...

Total capital loss is the risk that you lose your entire investment (or more if levered). The probability of hitting a goal is based upon the variation in prices. In the textbook I linked to, they review the types of risks in greater detail including how to measure them:

Why would you handicap yourself by intentionally limiting how much information you use?

What costs? I don't really see a problem with increasing immigration. In fact, tax revenues from new immigrants can probably be put to good use in providing services and program from existing citizens.

So what exactly are you complaining about?

The irony of your statement is lost on you.

So you're saying we should open our doors to more than just foreign students. I agree.
