I feel like I gave a very detailed list of reasons why this is a self correcting problem and why just because "it could happen" isn't a reasonable criteria on its own....and you responded with "you're being naive, it could happen". If there's anything specific that I said that was incorrect it...

No-one is saying that there isn't an occasional rouge individual who breaks the law, obviously that happens in every industry. What anyone who knows anything about this line of business is saying is that it's got enough natural incentives for this not to happen and the requisite compliance...

I don't think the term passive aggressive means what you think it means. It means to be indirect and avoid direct conflict instead of just clearly and concisely saying what you mean and meaning what you say. With that in mind, to be perfectly clear and not in the least passive aggressive; I'm...

Seriously, stop flattering yourself OP. If you have had several years of consistently showing alpha with minimal drawdowns, this is something you need to worry about. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that hasn't happened, therefor comparing yourself to big hedge funds which are about...

Unfortunately his type is unable to distinguish between "they report on issues I don't agree with" with "they are fake news". The concept that real journalists have editorial reviews and source confirmation requirements and do retractions when they inevitably make mistakes while the dipshits at...

I do believe in science. Since no one in the scientific community has even hypothesized that we'll all drown by 2100 and hence the NYT hasn't reported on that, you appear to simply be trolling. All the more given your digression has FA to do with the conversation at hand. What exactly do you...

Except that didn't actually happen. It was fully investigated and the buyers had nothing to do with the attacks and no knowledge of the attacks. Memory's a tricky little fucker.

Most people who understand the difference between journalism and a jackass putting who regularly puts demonstrably false information up on a website do trust the NY Times over Zero Hedge. I'd also trust Fox News over Zero Hedge. You'd have to be blinded by a particular virulent form of partisan...

I feel like you're purposely being obtuse. I didn't ask if you would or did buy a house in 2019 when neither you or anyone else had any idea that COVID was a thing. I asked if you would buy one today at 2019 prices. Not would you buy one because you need one, I'm asking you to do a thought...

Just to be clear that your post quoted me saying something that I think you intended to say. To answer you question, "Why knock a guy who is anti-Semitic, racist and homophobic? If that’s how he feels so be it." First, it's pretty incredible that anyone would require an answer to that...

I can't help but note you ignored my question. Would you right now buy a house at 2019 prices? Most people wouldn't, they would insist on some kind of discount because we're in a much different environment than we were 6 months ago. That translates to declining house prices. People not able or...

So you disagree with me and would be one who would buy a house at 2019 prices now? By the way, house prices in NYC and the SF Bay area, the two highest priced housing areas in the country, aren't that way because of "Heavy leftist regulation on building." They're that way because every square...

I was very specifically responding to @Fain's post where he said: I asked what the source of that information was. He declined to provide it. I very specifically responded with Just let me re-emphasize the "Although not the most bulletproof source" disclaimer I made there. I'm genuinely at...

Keep in mind this is volpunter aka asiaprop aka Grulstmrnn aka who knows what else. He's a professional troll, as you can see from the chain here. The only thing to do with him really is get him fired up to the point he gets himself banned.....again. The guy's got some serious issues, to put it...

Like I said, LinkedIn is imperfect but the best we have pending a citation of the original source. As far as size, if we're talking about the architects of "The Algorithm", or even the architects of a company's risk policy, I'm not sure that's a division that scales linearly with company size...

OK, just to be clear you goaded me into this:D Well I'll start with my current financial plan since I think that says a lot. I have all my long-term investing money in either treasuries maturing in the next year or a small amount in SPX puts with 2000ish strikes and Oct-Dec maturities that I...

They're making about that much, and we're in the super boring utility space. Could be that we've got different definitions of a "quant", I'm thinking folks with technical degrees from the best tech schools doing serious programming and analysis. A capital markets risk position to me is more a...

Again, the guy with a history of half a dozen banned accounts here on IB, most for various anti-semitic, racist, and homophobic attacks, isn't terribly credible when calling others unpleasant. Feel free to put me on ignore. I know you did that with past incarnations here, right after calling me...

Thanks for the compliment. Probably surprising but I'm going to say that I'm in a bubble such that I'm not sure I have a really valid opinion with respect to the rest of the entrepreneurs out there on this. I'm in the electricity generation industry, most of my clients are utilities, and so...

Listen, you were the one who provided a list of "examples" that were not in the same business or regulatory environment as IB to make a point about the regulatory environment of IB. Pointing that out is the opposite of "obfuscating"! The anti-money laundering laws in the U.S. put the onus on the...
