Scrutiny is justified. However, it should be within the scope of whether the product fulfills the need and should have nothing to do with "sovereignty" or "free speech rights," don't you think?

I mean, doesn't the concept of a free society apply to private corporations as well? The government is not restricting you; the private company is exercising its right to run its business according to its own free will. The principle o

If you look at Didi or Meituan in ride-sharing apps, they are miles ahead to Uber in terms of usability and features, at least to 1.4 billion Chinese. This is not a rare event. Apps like Futubul that just feel much better than Robinhood. I

China is a rising power, but it still lags behind the current dominant power in fundamental research. However, it is rapidly catching up. This is not very different from the situation the U.S. was in around 1900 when it had the largest GDP

The basic idea behind the propagator model is that order flow can be treated as a propagating wave that spreads through the market and affects prices. Thus given that we usually execute multiple orders for a given "meta" (big) tra

Algorithmic trading here means more about how to "execute trades" thus reduce the "execution cost" of a trade, rather than using quantitative method to gain advantage (alpha). They are usually employed by firms executing
