- My uber driver, unprompted, said btc would be 100k by Christmas and all of his savings were in it. He hopes I'm happy being poor. I hope he is happy driving an uber
- A trader thinking about economics is like a dog thinking about quantum physics: unlikely to be right and completely irrelevant to their lives.
- In response to no demand from absolutely anybody, @therobotjames and I have put together the option trading course we have talked about for months. quant for retail. about 18hr over 6 weeks.
- Chapter on exactly how to look for inefficiencies. Followed by 100 pages of examples. Don't say we didn't tell you.
- I wanted to work with Andrew since I first met him. Finally. tinyurl.com/3d68pn3m
- I'm so sick of option traders touting the returns on individual trades. "100% return on my recommended call spread". Portfolio returns or stfu
- I really like this book. accessible but not over-simplistic. It shows again that profitable trading ideas are out there
- Can anyone recommend a book on the basic math an option trader needs? Basic calc, stats, probability and maybe linear algebra? (no. traders don't need measure theory, control theory or stochastic calculus)
- A lot of times exactly what you are trading doesn't matter much if at all. While you are thinking deeply about the supply chain in the soybean market, some "idiot" is making millions buying threes and selling fours.
- after much hilarity about lambo guy i realized: 1. i have been trading UPST opts for weeks. 2. i don't know what UPST does. 3. i don't know the full name of the company. 4. i initially thought it was UPS
- whoever first called option structures "strategies" is responsible for the loss of more retail money than anyone this side of SBF. No. if selling straddles isn't working, selling ICs won't either. neither is a strategy.
- There is a major war. Inflation is high. Supply chain is a mess. The Fed is raising rates. You think you're the only one to notice? You need more than that to make a good forecast.
- Took 5 years but I finally got around to collaborating with @Gingfacekillah Our book on retail option trading will be out sometime before the end of this year.
