What you mean by "water"?

It's... complicated. Good night for now.

Yeah, me too, as much as I like to keep the spirits up by joking about it (like calling it a Ponzi scheme) :P I'm actually serious about it (don't do jokes on $60k) but it's 23 PM here and I'm awake since 6 AM, plus tomorrow's announcing to be a horrendously stressful day. So I'm calling it...

That's not what I have in mind but as long as first requirement, they're legal (don't wanna end up in the documentary posted by you on the politics forum ;) and second of course, pass my 80% constraint... anything goes :cool: Which leads us to my next concept, I'm not interested in crowdfunding...

Brutal, what can I say.

For instance, right now I have some GROSS amount of capital of around $60,000 to invest over the course of next 3 years. It necessarily involves a business in Romania since half of those money are government grants. And I can't employ myself both due to legal constraints on that grant and the...

Let's resurrect this thread since it shows some promise of interesting discussions. I thought about it from both the investor and the funded perspective. While getting funded does superficially seem the better option (play roulette on somebody else's money - as long as it's not the Russian...

Allright, allright, I agree. It's a traders forum and some of you might carry furter "déformation professionnelle" in taking words too literally. Can we depart a bit from buying stock and view the 80% rule in a more philosophical way? Like, choices in life with 80%+ probability of success as...

I can neither confirm nor deny this information :vomit: Anywayz, with regard to an older thread of yours about crowdfunding. I thought about it from both the investor and the funded perspective. While getting funded does superficially seem the better option (play roulette on somebody else's...

Yeah, but unless I was drunk or otherwise don't remember well, you also claimed in the 98%+ positive on the WINNING side. Which leads us to your original question.

In the non-fucked up universe I live in, 90% is a real thing. Go east than Eastern Europe and you'll reach 99.99% territory, you piece of shits. Well, piece of shits who doubt they exist. [benevolent smile]

Allright, you caught me. I've never SEEN them in real life either :D But fuck, there's some imaginary universe where I do believe they exist :) Don't shoot the pianist (me), not long ago that imaginary square root of -1 didn't even exist in imagination. And if you were to live some 2000 years...

So you have 100 Einsteins, Wisensteins, Abakumovs etc and ONE fucking job which allows them to unfold their talent. What, you never heard of Wisenstein and Abakumov? Well it's THEIR fault for not getting the job which rescues them from immediate extermination or at best, a life in the Gulag...

Well don't take it THAT literal although I'm not sure it's not actually the case. There are jobs at each end of the spectrum, where the qualified candidate count per job position is in the 100-1000. Either easy shit like "web" or, perhaps counter-intuitively, very hard stuff like "quant...

I've never seen 80% in trading, not even in backtests (which probably counts as a good thing, the system was correct / honest). But that's a different thing, 80% real life bets DO exist.

As traders I'm willing to bet you balk at strategies with low probability of success. Yeah I know, what matters is expected value, win = probability * amount so if amount is big enough you're still profitable as long as your repeated investments are low enough so you don't go bankrupt before...

What eminence are you and who appointed you in charge of judging me?

OK then. I'll probably start other thread(s) in order to explore different ideas.

Not sure if you're sarcastic but nevertheless, I'd say my "language" skills are above average for an engineer or otherwise technically oriented fellow. A guy here noticed some "middle age crisis" in my case. I figured out it's just a natural progression of human conscience level, which...

That's a Roman option and iM THAT.
