?? I already answered you in the other thread, which you appear to have abandoned.
Yeah - you won't. Compliance at most firms really frown on this kind of stuff. But look on the bright side: a few years in the actual business,...
This is a non-sequitur
I'll go with no - because financial transactions are book entry changes: when you withdraw $1k to buy stocks, you are transferring that deposit...
I haven't looked in a while, so I don't have a link handy - but I believe it's available both from FDIC and the Fed's websites; I recall there's...
stdev of return * 2 (roughly 98% VaR)
Depends on what KIND of risk you want to calculate. For current price risk, the trailing 20 days standard deviation should do.

So in one breadth you decry intellectualism (you hate PhDs, remember?) - in the other, you think I missed the short bus to "school"? That's the...
What exactly will that do? The 'computer that controls interest rates' will be the Taylor Model, which will say at this point: negative fed funds...
How about this: if there's no crash by the end of the day 20th, you go donate to one of those worthwhile charities that fund some poor kids'...
Respectfully, I beg your reconsideration. Every time anyone brings up any argument in favor of randomness in market movement (some randomness !=...
Right... because there are no PhD's at AQR, or Apollo, or GSAM, or any of the major quant funds that slosh around billions of dollars ahead at...
Let's try some basic logic for you my friend: "Having a PhD is not a requirement for intelligence" -> you are ABSOLUTELY right. However, this...
