I feel like you have to believe at least one of these 3: 1) Life is just a chemical reaction, human sadness / happiness don't matter 2) Humans are fundamentally different than other animals - our pain is somehow more real than ani

2-3 weeks ago when share prices were around $17, GME had a market cap of less than 1.2B. WSB has 7.6 million users now, but I assume it went up a lot recently. Say 2 million of them bought some GME. To buy 50% of the shares a couple weeks a

One issue I've run into when I looked into strategies like this is that bonds have been an incredible investment over the last ~40 years. Sure, they haven't beaten the S&P500 straight up, but their volatility and max drawdow

As long as we are fairly confident about the specificity and sensitivity of the test, then it DOES tell us something, even if those numbers are as low as 85%. Here's the flaw in your proof - If the test has 85% specificity, then the ch
