Thank you for your post write up. I'm going to go through that first as my main intro to quant trading and programming for trading, and then will check out your later blog posts. But so far a few pages in and I'm hooked, this shou

You are totally wrong as another commentator pointed out. Mckinsey knowingly incited and spread racial hatred for their personal gain, and pushed the idea of "white monopoly capital" so that the ANC could leverage that as a politi

Government is only inevitable, only if you believe in these sets of prerequisites for constructing a government. These all can be managed without government should the people want it. It's called anarchy, not the neo-modern destructiv

If you sign up to be in the police, or ICE, or any such governmental arm used to jail the poor and protect the rich, and are passively accepting these policies you are supporting them. As such by supporting these despicable policies those e

So where I'm from we have a similar problem yet no end in site. After last years summer we had one of the worst droughts this region has ever had, but then it went into winter. It didn't rain much this winter and now we're ba

I sent this article to my brother and he also misread that paragraph. The games he collects data from are as he says, "a small fraction of the hands he plays" So as a pro I'd expect he's earning a lot more, but for the c
