Anus [t] art. Noice.

Not really. Victory gets forgotten. Loss gets forgotten. Everything gets forgotten. Probably, and I'm talking here as a shameless capitalist, there would be much more money to be made by selling "World war II celebration" repackaged as "End of fucking'" instead of "Victory".

Any Germans around? I think Neckermann Katalog was an "avant la lettre" Amazon or Aliexpress: https://retroport.de/retro-kult-quelle-katalog/ . As a kid in the 80's Eastern Block I was waiting for a new print on that thing as I'm today looking for sales on Amazon (well, the local branch). It...

I've finished my latest book in the Soviet series, "Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan 1979-89". I may never finish "The Whisperers: Private Life in Stalin's Russia", it affects me too much. So, what next? I'm looking at "Soldaten": On Amazon: "Soldaten: On Fighting, Killing and Dying: The...

I'm looking at my homeland, : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria-Hungary . 621,537.58 km2, seems like a lot. But then, this is the same 676,587 km2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas Apart from software development, trading and math, I also like history. I guess I relax from the hard...

I'm not making a living by trading, I make a decent life from a software developer salary. Trading is just my pipe dream of an indecent life :) Also I realize I don't have any viable trading strategy, a systematic statistical edge, but I do gamble sometimes (as in discretionary trading), out of...

>> It can do almost anything. That's what I fear, in general.

As a programmer having to deal with build systems I feel like a doctor on way to saving a COVID patient and having his car break down. And having the managers expecting him TO FIX THE CAR ASAP AND GET TO WORK IN TIME.

Build systems are the catacombs of programming. 1) In the beginning there was C++ and Make. 2) Then came Java and ant. 3) Ant was superseded by maven. 4) Finally when we had something sane, why not piss on it and invent your own? Gradle & beyond. In the meantime C++ recovered some distance...

Basically it's a win-win situation for me. If the problem I identified makes money then hell I'm gonna make money rather than publish some abstract mathematical masturbation for my PhD. If it doesn't, then I'll publish a "simple" mathematical formula along the Black-Scholes, Merton or Heston...

My last post on the options forum went south so lemme try another one, hopefully with different results. I've some experience with options, mathematics and programming. In reverse order as enumerated :P Lately I've refactored the self-made software I was using to backtest trading strategies...

Another interesting fact: for Soviet soldiers who returned home (most of them actually), Afghanistan was their contact with the capitalist world. In it's bazaars ("stock markets") they would find things they could only dream about at home and sometimes not even that: blue jeans, stereo cassette...

From "Afgantsy: The Russians in Afghanistan 1979-89", the current book I'm reading: "One particularly imaginative racket was dreamed up by a group of warrant officers. The air force was abandoning boxes of plastic nose cones - nursiki - for their rockets. You could drink from them but apart...

We are Gallipoli.

Next time you criticize me on my choice of words and grammar you're invited on a Portugese (thus not Spanish!) transport to deep Africa.

>> compare to sports betting, no different Have I said that? Next time you visit us we give you not 1 but 2. No, 5 empty bullet chambers to put on yer head as a dumb trader. Choice is yers. Join us or walk away? No consequences (except maybe world dying, children starving, but that's far in...

>> are you looking for folks to give you tips or ideas on specific options, trading, option picks? I'm state apparatus. (are you looking for folks to give you tips or ideas on specific options, trading, option picks is) True in a country smaller than Lousiana and a confederation smaller than...

I get what you're saying. My older brother who's a high school teacher and actually taught me the math needed to win the university admission exam (10 well prepared guys on one place), is sort of addicted to sports gambling. Maybe some day I'll join forces with him but not yet.
