    Why this maths genius refuses to work for a hedge fund

    I wouldn't want to poop on PhD quants... but when it comes to trading... the only math you really need is arithmetic. You do, however, need to be able to "observe and deduce". KISS, baby!

    Question about moving averages

    A 30 week MA would be 150 days. The most followed MAs are the 200 day and 50 day.

    Greatest Trader of all time or Fraud?

    Trading the 50 day MA as support/resistance are specific, individual trades.... when appropriate. I don't know what "trading along the 50 EMA" means.... but if it's "buy/sell on the cross", it won't be all the efficient and sometimes not work at all.

    2560 x 1080 vs 3440 x 1440 on a 34 inch monitor for trading

    My 43" TV as monitor is in my game room which I view from across the room... 15' or so and operate the computer with wireless keyboard and mouse. 3 of the 27" are in a portrait array for charts in my primary trading space. The resolution is 6480x3820. More pixels, more chart data displayed...

    2560 x 1080 vs 3440 x 1440 on a 34 inch monitor for trading

    Agree. I suggest traders try out a 43" UHD TV as monitor if they have the space. I have one and it's my favorite over my 5x, 27" UHD monitors. Bonus... 43" TV costs < than half that of a 43" monitor.

    Greatest Trader of all time or Fraud?

    Not enough examples to draw a conclusion, but it looks like he's doing "Price TA"... the same approach I've been recommending to ETers for years. And if he is, two thumbs up.

    Cook Political Report says no guarantee Republicans re-take the House

    No matter how wide a majority is scored for the Repubs, the DemoCrap "cheat machine" will simply be ramped up enough to offset it. :)

    Why Americans haven't been convinced on cryptocurrency

    Just like we all do... they shove it up our collective butts, and we take it.

    SUPER NEW to options!

    Sam Adams Octoberfest. Also Adam's Winter Harvest and New Belgium's Fat Tire. (Lot's of bowlers don't "hit what they're looking at"... the board they presume to play). Twice I recall telling onlookers, "watch me hit this fly" which was parked on the lane. I'm still "batting 1.000" on flies...

    SUPER NEW to options!

    Humbly, I've been good at several things. The best was bowling. Former Pro and local USBC Hall Of Fame member here.. and for the last time I bowled the USBC Master's tournament, I was the ALL-TIME high average leader!

    Why Americans haven't been convinced on cryptocurrency

    Crypto is like a Disney movie... "You just have to believe".

    Community effort to make bank after the coming "big smashola"?

    Used to be that for a company to buy its own stock was illegal. NOW look what they do!

    Community effort to make bank after the coming "big smashola"?

    Perhaps better if you buy "value". Wall Street will pump "a few", of course. In 2009, I don't recall any pumping of Citibank... it was as low as $.95. CGC (pot stock) went from $2.13 to $4.26 in a month just on bottom fishing. Wouldn't you take a flier on it $ $.25... or $.10? And I don't...

    Well, that's the problem. EVERY dip on the way down is the WRONG one to buy until the LAST one... wherever that is.

    Be sure to keep us apprised on how that's going. Don't discount that Buffet is OK if his stocks drop 50%. Most traders are not that sanguine.

    Community effort to make bank after the coming "big smashola"?

    That was a correct buy because of the Fed's intervention... not a "bear market" in any sense of the word.

    Community effort to make bank after the coming "big smashola"?

    In a bear market, "52-wk low" doesn't mean much on the way down... until the final one.

    Community effort to make bank after the coming "big smashola"?

    Here's a thought... I've noticed a HUGE volume spike when a stock drops to -90% from it's high. It's apparently the "cry uncle" dumping price for the longs to bail out and the "battle cry" for bottom pickers to step in. I can't imagine Apple losing -90%, but who knows? If not Apple, look for...

    A daily concern, for sure... but not the point of this tread.
