Hi y'all! Talked about this a few times here (usually after a few beers, not the case now :). I'm developing an application for backtesting option strategies and it's already in usable form. Initially I've put it free and open source on GitHub but then I changed my mind and made the repository...

Otherwise Canadian Mounties not. More like maybe not MG43...

I enjoy my mid-AustroHungarian-Ottoman-Russian-fuck-you position. Hope it stays.

Say I were to revive Dalstroy Corporation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalstroy Do you understand there are at least LESSONS of history to understand? Not talking about if all the witnesses are dead, of course.

Fair enough.

Ask my cousin in Paris. The deal he struck will only become facts after 30 years as opposed to other offers. By the way, he's a millionaire.

I thought I got banned (again!, after 10 years of trying to explain who I am) from this site. Noone said anything to my comments and that's the first sign. I said something on blacks. Well, till some 200 years ago, my ancestors were in all respects slaves (they were called serfs). There were...

There was a time when I thought weekly options are great because it's easier to predict the short term than the far future. Then I noticed the short term tends to be riddled with unexpected events that are hard to describe statistically (at least I couldn't), while the longer term tends to...

Fuck me, I thought Earl is below Marquis. It certainly sounds so but now that I found out about it, I remember a story about PhDs here. The inventor of the quadrillion $$$+ market that's derivatives today is barely known, his name is "Louis Bachelier". Like me before taking it into the "there's...

I recently read "Sufferings in Africa" by the American ship captain named James Riley who happened to shipwreck on the coast of Sahara in 1815, around the time Napoleonic wars were raging in Europe. It's a fascinating story to read from multiple points of view, one of them being the "shock" of...

I get that you're black? Or "African-American"? (Not sure what the proper new term is, just like Javascript frontends, they keep changing the proper term for describing the same old reality :) ) I got one (and only one) colleague at my current company that's black. And Romanian :) I mean like...

Actually I'm contemplating an offer to move to CA too, temporarily. Initially it was for 1 month, which would have been no problem but looks they kinda wish for 6 months. I'd be doubling my salary over the period I'm there, so in 6 months I'd do a whole year here. After I'm getting back, I'd be...

By the way, I live within 500 meters of https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastionul_Croitorilor_din_Cluj-Napoca , one of the few middle age fortifications that made it till today. Best location to live? An American would say "within drunken staggering distance from the best bars in town" and I...

I live in "castrum Clus": https://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetatea_Clujului

This is more of a meta/strategy/why thread rather than pure "sell vertical spreads and ye'll be rich" tactics, though I'm a veteran on those too. Veteran as in can they kill you: definitely, and not much beyond that. Short presentation for those who don't know me already: I live in the 2'nd...

1) Purpose: not to die today. 2) Means: not to die tomorrow too. 3) Timeframe: it's so far inevitable that I'll die eventually. Not mattering so much if my #title can start from #4. If you don't know what finance is, take a look at this picture...

>> A FUCKING LOT OF US TOO Next time you're assigned to Panzergrenadier (300), think infantry (10,000) would have been better.

>> Why waste time going to job interviews just spend the time building your own business. I know that but do you? How many of the 10,000 regrettable souls mowed down by machine guns not just know but do something about that? I'm one of the elite guys of this world yet "building my own...

>> Your value is your domain knowledge... not tools that help you solve generic problems. That reduces competition rougly 100x. From 1 in 10,000 wannabees to 1 in 100. Does it still work for you, given that the competitors are now much, much more triaged? I once competed in an University...

Well, US has about twice the area size of EU: 9.834.000 km² vs 4.476.000 km² but give or less, they all speak English there. In EU there are 28 states, speaking 24 languages, and not long ago it might have been a matter of life or death if you could tell them "please refrain from trying to chop...
