    Chat-GPT 4 is coming (new version)

    Question is how much of a lead OpenAI can get before Google's inevitable response comes. Although everyone that matters knows about ChatGPT now, Google could change their landing page into a conversational agent rather trivially, same for Chrome's address field.

    Chat-GPT 4 is coming (new version)

    To poke the bot into giving a more intelligent answer it sometimes help to point out how the answer you first got (which is often shallow to put it kindly) is wrong. It will then often follow up with a better suggestion, especially if asked to. That said, I doubt it will output anything with an...

    Who is really to blame for the war in Ukraine?

    The TimtheEnchanters of the world enabled people like Hitler, Stalin, etc. to slaughter millions. You can no longer separate fact from fiction and implicitly or explicitly support the most heinous crimes against humanity.

    Goldman Sachs shares sink after brutal quarter

    It's Goldman Sachs' venture into consumer banking that went awry AFAIK. So other investment banks do not necessarily have the same problem. Neither do real consumer banks for that matter.

    About Quantum Computing.

    Buying that kind of stock in this kind of market regime means you need to be fine with it dropping 99% from when you buy it, i.e. wiping out your invested capital. If it does, have a reasonable amount of capital stashed away to buy more shares (assuming you're confident in your investment...

    Teacher shot by her 6 year old student in critical condition

    Tangentially, in Sweden there is an increasing problem with younger and younger kids being involved in heavy crime including shootings. 10 (or was it 9) year olds have been arrested with pistols. It's all related to gangs and the narcotics trade in our case, some teenager simply gives them a gun...

    Madoff on Netflix - watch it!

    First few minutes I felt like turning it off (a very American style documentary with lots of frequent flashy scene changes and big words) but then it hooked me. Got to know some details I haven't heard before on the Madoff scam.

    Blackrock adds Bitcoin to their $15TR Global Allocation Fund, trillions of $ to flow into the market

    Cheesy title. For there to be trillions of flow into BTC Blackrock would have put in over 10% of their AUM, not going to happen. This is an opportunity for somebody else to withdraw. Wouldn't surprise me if it works in a prompt sell-the-news fashion.

    Is Copy Trading the right fit for those who are not able to make their own successful strategy?

    Allegedly there are a few people that are successful doing copy trading on e.g. C2 but it is really hard IMO, because you need to understand all the common BS system vendors pull, and then filter them out in your essentially black box evaluation. Because most is BS you have to go through and...

    Do CFD providers lose money when customers make money? Any problem if you're profitable?

    Excellent examples - particularly, compare to a MM - the key difference is really just (lots of) layers of regulation and financial structure. As for CFD platforms, the primary questions just boil down to: Is the entity on the other side fradulent and/or naive regarding risk management? Either...

    Do CFD providers lose money when customers make money? Any problem if you're profitable?

    True, but it should be appended it's fairly straightforward matter to hedge the net exposure in the underlying so that they don't go broke because a customer won a big trade.

    Do CFD providers lose money when customers make money? Any problem if you're profitable?

    From a retail perspective: I think some of the platforms are simply "easier" for beginners in terms of being able to access CFDs on a diverse range of financial instruments in a decent web interface. Taking IG as example: You can do stocks, futures, crypto, etc. They support simple guaranteed...

    Trump lied about donating his POTUS salary.

    The sad truth is that a majority of American adults are more suited to the presidential office than Trump is.

    Could it be this easy?

    On a positive note: Current market conditions are volatile and unusually trendy (compared to past decades). Certain simple algos can work (for now). On a negative note: Poorly made backtests lie (and unfortunately quite a few vendors do it poorly on purpose) w.r.t. to transaction overhead. A...
