Why can't those living in Europe also buy index funds? You don't have to be US citizen to buy them? There are currency hedged funds if that's an issue for you.

Do you filter people or anyone can pay and come talk about stock trading? Wouldn't that get noisy?

In fact, Dalio himself just a couple years ago contacted Bridgewater's clients to tell them the firm fucked up, had miscalculated things and was over-exposed to duration risk (basically meaning they owned too many bonds, as you say). T

Just checked your option value calculator. I understand you're still building it out but wanted to say nice work so far! Something like this that's easy and clear could be really useful. Like some of the "estimate tax refund&

I think you guys are both right. And I'm sure one could construct some sort of venn diagram for startup funding with circles for equity, debt and bootstrapping; where a given startup is a good match for one or more funding choices (bas

I think these are cool. Folks who comment about the price or that they could make something similar themselves maybe don't get it or don't understand there are customers out there who appreciate having nice-looking, interesting ph

Debt usually is senior and paid first if a business is sold. But not always. In the case of startup debt, loan terms can be non-standard because VCs who own preferred shares don't want to subordinate their stake. It depends on the term

The article is not wrong, but I work in this space so maybe I can add some context from I have seen: The author seems a bit hyperbole happy; yes debt volume is up but it's nothing to foam at the mouth over...Phrases like " spiked

I didn't assume zero credentialed medical professionals are involved in the company. The article clearly states you have 12 nurse practitioners serving your 19,000 members. I looked at your website too and saw some of the other clinica

Thanks for coming on here and giving some insight. Not always easy to do as HN comments can sometimes get a bit brutal. I agree there needs to be better health care data science going on towards improving wellness and health care (assuming

Hi David, I made a similar move to industry work many years ago. My advice is to clarify what interests you, as data science and machine learning are huge fields. Also "machine learning" is still hard to pin down what that even me

I agree with you. Misleading article titles are a big pet peeve, but this is not as bad some of the clickbait out there. I think another interpretation could be: By popularizing this idea outside of SV it changed SV. As the general populati

Thank you. I found it odd the article would hype this piece like this, quote an entire paragraph and mention the Cormac McCrarthy connection and not give a link. News on the internets business as usual I guess.

You say you work in the industry. How long have you been doing this and what do you do? You don't have to answer but your questions are odd for someone with experience in the industry. But let's get into it: How is performance mad

That's a great summary and advice! It's crazy there is this giant industry of overpaid people that exists only because people don't listen to that advice. Disclaimer: I work in said industry.

I don't mind the risk. I think it's great there's a way to support cool product ideas that still need time and money to figure out if it will work. It's not for everyone, but I'd be happy to back a hardware project

This is not really an issue with what some companies are doing. This is the main point of kickstarter. It's for people to support funding projects still in development and helping them get from that stage to get into production. In exc

This may be true. But I have a feeling a large percentage of HN are not part of this trend, as it seems there's quite a few people on here who still have real jobs that involve concentrating, which is not the going trend for most of th

Well ya, if some VCs aren't open to new investors then LPs must invest with emerging managers. The extent to which top managers will revert to the mean is anyone's guess and years away from an answer. Why not just call it like it

b) You can't generalize having magical abilities to pick top quartile managers ex ante. a) Some bigger LPs diversify across multiple VC firms and smaller LPs may access fund of funds (though very expensive). Either way broad diversific
