And I thought this had to do with physical fitness.

It would be even friendlier to the environment if she wasn't formally educated. Will educating her really provide that much for society to make it worthwhile?

Well the way the universe works is people can't spend time with everyone else concurrently.

No, the same amount, but also try to spend less time interacting with them if possible.

Probably with respect?

Well the most important thing to remember is the Golden Rule. You should treat others as you would wish to be treated in their situation.

The easiest way to budget is just stop spending money on stupid stuff, and don't live somewhere with high rent. Don't make large purchases, except perhaps a condo or house so you don't have to pay rent anymore. You don't

I haven't tried to use CAPE in any simulation because I don't think it is too predictive in the near term. But it's good to keep in mind.

What I found through lots of calibration is that it's best to sell when the weekly average of the S&P 500 is -2% compared to that same week a year ago, and then re-purchase when it goes back up to 0%. In fact it's best to shor

Ultimately, what matters the most is the price and what other investors do. The price is affected by investors' perceptions of political and social pressures. If there are new political or social pressures, then they would affect the p

I was long until today. And now I'm short because of thresholds that were hit by my technical indicators.

by xyzzy4 11y ago
There's countless different indicators and investors don't follow the same ones, if any at all. Most people aren't computer programmers who have run historical simulations. Just because you know something doesn't mean th

Well have you actually run a historical trading simulation (like I did)? You would know these indicators are far superior to a buy and hold strategy.

Well the stocks aren't worth 0, and they aren't worth infinity. So they will always have some price worth trading.

I agree, it could very well prompt a recession. Also looking at the technicals, the 1 year percent change of the S&P 500 is negative, which is a strong recession indicator historically. The 150-300-39 day MACD also looks bad. These indi

Not really. That's how much China's stock market would fall if China's nominal GDP dropped by that much. In the worst of the 2009 crisis, the US GDP only dropped by about 1% if I remember right.

by xyzzy4 11y ago
The economy didn't crash 7%, just the valuation of public companies, which might have been overvalued in the first place. If China's GDP crashed 7%, then the stock market would probably crash 95-99%.

Well that might be true, but when you're at home you have more choices of what you can be doing at any one moment, and too much choice can be stressful. Also when you're at work you have more external pressure from your peers to g

It would discourage innovation for a lot of reasons, and one is that high earners would move to other countries.

>If anything, suicide makes it more tragic and sad. I disagree. For example if someone takes all their money and lights it on fire, you shouldn't feel bad for them that they just lost their money.

I don't think this is a good idea. The point of a company is to execute the business plan and create revenue and profit by doing so. Requiring brutal honesty of employees doesnt help this. As an employee, you're supposed to play i

Well first I would say that there is an external and internal arrogance - one that makes you seem arrogant to others, and one that is just your private thoughts. The first is sometimes bad depending on who you're talking to, and the se

This is a tangent, but the most annoying change in the latest Python versions is you can no longer write print "foo". Now it has to be print("foo"). Damn kids ruining my language.

But at a big company you can also spend 2/3 of your time day-dreaming or browsing the Internet. At a startup you need to be more engaged.

Martin Shkreli is an example. Criminal allegations aside, he founded Retrophin which currently has a $750 million market cap.

He probably found making money, scheming, and shady deal making to be thrilling, like the Wolf of Wall Street guy.
