    Quant funds having a bad year in 2017. Trend-followers may not survive

    The answer is simple. Their bias(s) have been wrong. (Happens even to the big boys...)

    Had Hillary won the Electoral College and not the "popular vote" ...

    I'm still not convinced Odumbo was born in the US. (Some with forensic knowledge claim his "presented" Hawaii birth certificate is a fraud... phony as a $3 bill.) But let's say he was and was legitimately president. He's still the WORST president in the history of our country. No other did...

    Which "other" questions are those? As for driver issue for different video cards... In your case likely they will all work together from the same driver. You might check AMD to verify.

    HIGHER EDUCATION: Professor Lets ‘Stressed’ Students Pick Their Own Grades

    Are you kidding? Snowflakes name their own grades? Parents pay $65,000/year for this kind of horseshit? (And hey, college expenses are "after tax" money... that is, parents need to earn $100K and pay taxes on it to have $65K left over to pay the college bill.)...

    Advice - I want to Day Trade / Career

    I'd never heard of it either. Apparently it's a Europe thing. As far as the "value of a degree" for trading.... likely no value at all unless it's mathematically related and perhaps you're intending to be a data mining quant. While I'm convinced most any non-science college degree is...

    Puget Sound beauty lets you sleep under the stars

    When I was a kid, I had an uncle who lived on Vashon Island. Great vacation place to visit... clam digging, night fishing, more.

    Liberalism created Donald Trump

    Liberalism created Donald Trump Hardly. "Trump is what America was and was intentioned to be"... since the days of the founding of our country up and until about 100 years ago... when the Lefties first started getting their power-hungry, evil hooks into our society and culture. Trump IS...

    UBI is the only solution. Then set the minimum wage to whatever you please

    HOGWASH! You think "the world owes you a living" just because you were born?

    Gut Feel: That something special of Successful Traders

    Gut Feel: That something special of Successful Traders

    Some famous trader guy (don't recall his name) said something like this.... "If you get a gut feeling about a trade.... (1) get up away from your screen, (2) walk over to the nearest door, and (3) beat your head against the jamb as hard and for as long as necessary until the gut feeling goes...

    The GM diet: Is 7kg weight loss in a week realistic?

    You might drop 7kg in a week from being dehydrated... you know, like the woman who wants to "fit into a dress for the week-end party"... but you can't lose that much "weight". Your weight can fluctuate ~ 5% between being "extremely bloated" and "dehydrated"... that's just a temporary water...

    Merit Based Immigration - Do you support it?

    Wasn't that America's primary immigration policy for decades... until the Lefties began flooding our country with poor quality immigrants? Personally I'd favor about a 5 year moratorium on ALL immigration until we get a handle on the mess we currently have.

    The Six Presidents Causing U.S. Bankruptcy

    The Reagan Years are often lauded as the economic boom times of Reaganomics. But that's HOGWASH! Much as I liked him, he's the one who espoused the notion... "we don't need to parse the budget for 'guns-or-butter'... we can have both. Just borrow what we don't have and spend it". Ever since...

    What's it like to be an ES scalper these days?

    Agree. I've mostly used the param, "try to risk 4 points where I might make 12+"... but I can see the merit of doing similar risking only about 2 points. Seems to me the ES is too noisy to try to get by with risking <2 points.

    Protecting unvested AMZN stock gains

    If you sell calls and get exercised, there may be income tax consequences regarding "recognition of gain from restricted stock". I could be all wrong... been a long time since I was in the field on this kind of thing... still worth looking into I think, as you wouldn't want a nasty tax...

    Looking for a good job in Florida as a lemon picker.....

    Sally Mullihan of Coral Springs, Florida decided to take one of the jobs that most Americans are not willing to do. Sally applied for a job in a Florida lemon grove and seemed to be far too qualified for the job. She had a liberal arts degree from the University of Michigan and had worked as a...
