I think you're wrong as well... I think our friend bwol is so far ahead of us in this finance space that we just can't comprehend the beautiful complexities of his various endeavors. "Proprietary capital management arbitrage" is the new cutting edge activity that will catapult bwol to the pinnacle of the business world. He will be a captain of industry and a mover and shaker in no time at all and we will all be left behind in his wake.

My model on WCTA will be called CMA and RM: Capital Management Arbitrage and Risk Management

I don't wear pads because I don't have to. Been skating since I was 8. I broke my arm taking a turn too fast in Kansas City tried stopping myself with my right arm and hit pretty hard. No casts, just annoying pain for 3 months.

Yeah, but what does "Capital Management Arbitrage" actually mean? Are you running a fund of funds or smth?

And what's WCTA? Western Canada Turfgrass Association? Washington Clean Technology Alliance? Winnebago Cooperative Telecom Association? Westmoreland County Transit Authority? I must have missed smth...

And eponymous. Give it 20 years before it makes it into Webster's.

This suddenly came to mind after I watched the first few "breathy" moments of the video:

I did that with a friend's car once in our neighborhood. They took me back up the steep hill, saving me a lot of effort.

It stands for World Cup Trading Advisors.

Arbitrage is exactly what my models do. Capital Management is used to allocate positions in real-time according to the opportunity most likely to give us the highest profit. If capital management doesn't make sense to you, then capital management arbitrage and risk management probably doesn't either.

But it will. I think I could win the World Cup Trading Championships this year.
