I couldn't agree more. If you are a solid developer and don't like working in the bureaucracy of a big corporation then stop complaining and start your own company already! No matter what happens you'll benefit. Either the company will succeed and you'll be far happier than you are working for...

So you should be more excited than anyone about these futures being offered, right? They are giving you the option to enter a trade you can't lose on, why all the negativity?

It's a hard thing to explain something that requires understanding of statistics to people who don't understand statistics, but you did a good job here.

The forums at www.wallstreetoasis.com are also interesting, pretty much entirely about breaking into the finance industry. Lot's of posers and garbage to sort through, but worth a binge read for you probably and you might run into a few people in your exact situation you can private message with...

Several of you are confusing the Sharpe ratio of the fund vs what adding this fund to your portfolio does to the Sharpe ratio of your portfolio. Uncorrelated assets are a pretty fundamental concept of Modern Portfolio Theory, and the impact can be explained purely in statistics terms. It's not...

I think misterkel had a good example of a valid question about why temperatures weren't high during previous periods of high CO2 concentrations in the context of the actual science. That's a good question. It doesn't eliminate the validity of the rest of climate science in my mind, but it's...

I was referring to maxpi, since he's here making these assertions and would seem to be an otherwise rational and intelligent person. As I mentioned earlier, there are arguments that rational well meaning people do make to question parts of global climate change science and I welcome that. Maxip...

It's just baffling to me that someone would fabricate something that anyone could easily verify with their own eyes by looking at satellite photos over multiple years. How do these people manage to succeed in life with that level of intellectual laziness?

Crickets from @MarkBrown, what a surprise! It's funny that you have the gall to question my service and then act like you never did when I call your bluff, but react violently when someone questions your supposed job history that you're willing to provide exactly no proof of. If there was ever...

Pascal and C are both descendents of ALGOL and C++ is an extension of C. The DC-3 and the Ford Trimotor are both descendents of the Wright flier and the Boeing 787 is a descendent of the DC-3. That in no way indicates that there is anything in common between a Ford Trimotor and a 787 except that...

Never heard classes being described as a means for "managers controlling serf coders" before! Sounds like 1989 called and is looking for it's "skilled programmers" back.

Why do you persist in this Arctic ice lie! Can you please let us know how you came to this erroneous conclusion?

Thanks, that's very helpful. No pin risk on SPX since it's cash settled right, or am I missing something on that (I assumed you were talking more generally but assuming you understand something can be dangerous!)

Thanks for bringing this up @FSU. For those out there that have been an options MM, do you make a market right up to expiration? If not, when do you generally stop quoting? I would think the models would start to break down a few minutes before expiration?

SPX is a section 1256 contract, SPY is not.

So if you believe that we shouldn't base the strength of our belief on something by the number or percentage of scientists in the field that believe it, then why did you subsequently spend most of the rest of your post showing that most climate scientists don't believe in climate change? That's...

First, thanks for an informed, rational, mature adult comment. It's really the first one on this thread from those questioning current climate change models, and as such it's the first comment that will make anyone actually stop and think about their beliefs. There are some counterarguments to...

What is this for? A lot of us old timers had to learn Pascal in college so I'm sure someone would be willing to dust it off for a few minor fixes to some legacy code. But if you want to do any major work you're going to be hard pressed to find anyone who's not desperate willing to do it in...

Would you care to share the article where you recently read that, perhaps something on Breitbart which I've conclusively demonstrated on this very thread blatently lies? Here in the real world "Melting Arctic ice cap falls to well below average • This summer’s minimum is the eighth lowest on...

Well since you clearly couldn't be bothered to even read the thread, let alone a single paper referenced in the Breitbart article, it doesn't appear that you're engaging in honest dialog here, sorry.
