2x inverse ARK

At least the mindset that I had developed as a programmer used to be that coding = productive work, and that time doing everything else should be minimized. I could see myself making this error being in a hurry and having no prior market experience (in fact, I sort of did back when that was the...

Trade for a while manually with small sizes to learn basics, you will be severely handicapped until you have, or (like you suggest) do work for an actual trader. Overused but accurate XKCD:

True. It's however hard to see the point of his post in this sub-forum, especially given the tone which makes everybody's BS sensors tingle as seen above. It would perhaps be more fitting in the Journals section where having oneself as the topic is appropriate.

Now I just need a way to go back in time on losing trades and I will be golden. :D

As long as you can actually replace it with useful economic activity... if you're unable to then you're screwed yeah. I'm not familiar with SA specifically. Resource rich countries usually have problems with kleptocrats who run them by redistributing money from resource extraction to their...

Their government banning crypto might have something to do with it.

Uh you're right, a case of failed skimming through on my part. Although I think ARKK would have been tanking now in the current market regime anyway had it been able to close earlier, if somewhat less. I read numerous articles toward the end of 2020 warning about ARKK driving returns in their...

Can someone explain why the article seems to claim that mutual funds are somehow more relevant because ARK dropped a bunch lately? Those seem unrelated to me.

Here is the kicker: The fact a pattern is observable in price after the fact doesn't necessarily imply it predicted anything about the future. If price itself alone predicted a lot of price movement, it would be trivial to plug in an entry level machine learning algorithm from a barchart, tick...

To me it seems to be the regular case of people investing in strategies they haven't bothered to understand, but here they have enough wealth to bring the big legal guns in an attempt to undo losses. Anyone with a more nuanced take?

Marko Kolanovic's case is that equities can stomach somewhat higher rates.

I guess the vast majority of participants on ARKK are long term investors HODLing though, so it's fair that some fire goes that way. But for a trader, certainly no need to get worked up about it. I find the rhetoric aiming at the fact she is a woman more concerning, personally. Male fund...

On Nasdaq OMX (Sweden): Evolution P/E ~48 (overpriced imo, just mentioning because $30B market cap and part of OMXS30 index, albeit the smallest constituent) Kindred P/E ~7 Betsson P/E ~6 Kambi P/E ~12 Valuations are indeed fairly low right now though you always have regulation as a potential...

A large portion of the American voter base doesn't own much or any stocks and will feel high inflation way more than a stock market crash (directly, indirectly might be a different matter). While the Fed would certainly not prefer a stock market crash, your statement is nether factual nor does...

+1 on all your posts. Tbh it always struck me as more fruitful to go flip burgers and put that money into your own account than trying to get funded by one of these firms. I don't blame the firms as such necessarily - I don't think it's a viable equation handing trading capital to complete...

If anyone is interested in reading an article about one of these fraud firms' internal operations: https://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/fraudfactory/ I realized that the case OP describes is somewhat similar.

The question would be whether she's adding value over QQQ or if ARKK and QQQ will eventually be on par, expenses excluded. Stating the obvious, high vol/beta looks smart until it isn't. Selling clients a portfolio of high beta/vol stocks while the going is good and making millions is probably...

While there might be someone here with insight on EGX I wouldn't think it's common. You're better of searching on your own. As maxinger says, regardless of whether it's investing or trading, success in these fields requires putting in the long hours of work yourself. It's natural to get...

What a strange discrepancy, in Sweden the vast majority in ER are unvaccinated. Oh, infowars.com? LOL
