It's only useful if your strategy has a remotely small chance of losing money. Otherwise, following the Kelly Criteria is just asking to blow up your trading account.

Yeah, I'll be swing trading fairly liquid ETFs so temporary loss of connectivity won't be a major issue. I already have 4G access with tethering on my rooted phone with Virgin Mobile (which uses Sprint's network) and the coverage has not been great outside of urban areas (although it...

Which national provider has the best internet coverage along the US Interstate highways so i can trade while my friends are driving the car from california to new york. Verizon? At&t? Sprint? t-Mobile? Can i realistically expect to have the coverage to trade while driving on say i80 in...

I'm just curious if anyone has paid attention in past years.. I heard the person who rings the bell will dress up on Halloween but never had a chance to verify last year because it was on a weekend. Anyone?

They'll move out of the US to, say, Switzerland.. Unrelated but another reason why taxing the rich won't work.. they'll just move away.

First I need to know if you're long or short the S&P500. If you're long, my answer is: 1000. If you're short: 1200.

Can anyone clue me in what went on back then? I was too young pay attention. There seems to be a lot of comparison between now and then and what could happen when the bond "bubble" collapses. And from what I've researched, there doesn't seem to have been any significant economic crisis in...
