Quote from atticus:

I did 1,300% under a flawed execution engine, lifting offers and hitting bids, in less than 4 years. More importantly, during the worst market since the Great Depression. Not to say it's replicable, but it beats your 50% loss by quite a margin.

Your opinions on trading are without value, as you've never traded profitably, with sim or cash.

BTW I have traded profitably a number of years, but not consecutively yet. Been a whipsaw. My professional track record at SCF was pretty good but I don't have or remember the numbers. A 3rd party asset manager would put together lists of acceptable managers and most of my clients used Managed Accounts which had exceptional performance.

Your comment is as baseless as saying the CFA Curriculum doesn't help you learn about finance, which is idiotic.

Wilcock knows less about QM than my 4yo. .

Yup. Some people think QM is about cosmic consciousness.

But other people know that it's about linear algebra.

You're full of shit, which is borne out of every public account you've been associated with, Covestor, C2, etc. You would think that you would randomly end with a +return in one of those accounts.

Must be some really hard linear algebra.

I know one of my professors said to get his econ PhD that he changed from quantum physics required him to complete an integration and derivation of something like:

(x+1)/(1-x) or 1-(x^2+10x-5)/(1-x^3)

which I don't know how to do but anybody could stick this in matlab and give you the answer but this was obviously not the point of doctoral theses and dissertation.

Wouldn't even know where to start that so qm is probably beyond my math skills without some major proofing knowledge and even more specialized de. May have to use a bunch of u substitutions before I'd even start to worry about du. By parts maybe for integration but this one would be an easy way to get a graduate to fail his finals and he did know people who failed at Cornell because their math wasn't good enough to receive their degree.

Incidentally if anybody could show the steps at least to the first equation I'd want to know.

As far as that goes, atticus I was a professional IA at SCFIA while I traded my models you see on C2 and Covestor is less than 6 months requiring just a 15% positive return to make the top 10 by APR. You don't actually think I was doing that for my clients the whole time, do you?

Don't be so clueless.

Your grammar is so poor that I don't have a clue what you're stating. Are you stating that the sample was too limited to make a judgement? I doubt you had clients for very long.

I have been an IA since I graduated in 2006. Now do you actually believe I didn't have or don't have clients? Again, you know more about options trading than you do about compliance and portfolio management. No clients? Seriously?

BO, it has been a while, but I see that you are doing fine. We had a period of differences, but after 16 months as a house guest of the federal government, I really don’t care about other people’s opinions in the way I had before.

To get right to the point, and a very serious point, how tall are these grey aliens? The reason I ask is that I often have what I believe are real occurrences in my sleep and my wife thinks that I am nuts. These little people, perhaps aliens, go into my mouth and down my throat while I am sleeping, although I cognizant of what is going on. Problem is that some of these aliens are good, and some are bad – not sure how I know this but it’s true. So I get up (usually off of the couch), and go to the sink and try to cough those bad aliens out but almost always some of the good aliens go with them and then I feel depressed and can’t sleep anymore.

I suppose what I need to know if your aliens are small enough to fit in ones mouth. If so, please send me a PM. Thanks in advance.

In a levitated state the grey I saw was at an incredibly weird angle, almost upside down, but I'd say with the big head would be around 5'5"-6', so yes, the little ones aren't real. This would have been the third levitation and the only time I saw one.

Even if you don't understand the dream, it was probably just that, because there aren't any beings capable of sentience without brains our size.

Damn, this thread just keeps going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole.
