Also, do you mean long "all in" or somewhat long? :)

So the concept is to allocate into various assets not based on nominal amount, but rather based on risk which you can do using some modicum of leverage. At lot of the happiness embedded in the strategy takes advantage of the low-to-negative correlation between bonds and risk assets. If I had to...

I think that's the whole point of the example, since he says "I am saying to the OP is that, this will not happen in real life".

While I don't buy into the whole FIRE, it's pretty clear that Suze is posturing and arguing for the sake of the argument. It's a publicity stunt, nothing more. For starters, most people will never get to that number, even people that are making pretty reasonable income. For the back of the...

That or risk parity funds. A crash-like selloff in bonds accompanied by a crash-like selloff in stocks would certainly be a perfect storm for a lot of people.

Assuming your American option delivers a futures contract after exercise and your option (either call or put) is deep ITM, you might want to early exercise once the funding costs exceed whatever value of optionality is left.

Funny, I am not super-keen on that book, it's very much oriented towards old school market making and it pretty dated. My initial reaction is almost always something like Volatility Trading by filthy, which is not perfect either.

Everything is obvious in the hindsight, right?

Supposedly, it's based on this: Matz, S. C., & Gladstone, J. J (in press). Nice guys finish last: when and why agreeableness is associated with financial hardship. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. Of course, the journalists might have perverted the findings (very probable) or the...

I am not an expert, but I think you'd want to know whose lunch you are eating and why that lunch is being given away. If you can't provide a hypothesis for your alpha, there is a fair chance that it's a result of random change, that the effect existed for a reason or that you would not be able...

than sick and poor :)

I am a complete noob at many things, so there is nothing wrong with that. To be fair, I think @comagnum misunderstood the OP and I came off a bit argumentative in my initial response to him.

Do you consider yourself rich at your current level of PNW? Audience wants to know :) On the topic, I did read the actual paper and it's pretty solid (as a paper in Nature should be), so it's hard to argue with the findings. The perception of the social consequences is up to the reader, let's...

I received the same honor. Kinda refreshing :)
