SirLJ··on The Black-Scholes/Merton equation [video]
Especially for Shannon :-)
SirLJ··on The Black-Scholes/Merton equation [video]
You made me watch this :-) still another book worth reading and not mentioned there:

"When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management"

SirLJ··on The Black-Scholes/Merton equation [video]
If someone is interested in all this, I would strongly recommend looking into Ed Thorp, he discovered pretty much the same thing earlier, but instead of publishing, he made money with the knowledge...

Great book about all this, 2017 Autobiography: "A Man for All Markets: From Las Vegas to Wall Street, How I Beat the Dealer and the Market"

SirLJ··on Money bubble
This is great, I am also running my own AI investment robots and this is the future and I believe you can absolutely beat the market and even thinking to use similar approach to other structured data sets and create a startup around the idea...

SirLJ··on Forum reactions to Satoshi's Bitcoin paper
I have no regrets, if I can see the future, I have better strategies to make money and can make an easy 10 000 000 x every week...
SirLJ··on Forum reactions to Satoshi's Bitcoin paper
I heard about it when it was about $30 and it looked expensive to me back then and even if I bought some, I wold have sold them long time ago at 2,3,5x as I much prefer the stock market (and even real estate) for investing...
SirLJ··on YC: Requests for Startups
No individual feedback, I am not offended at all as this is 2 way street, why would I accept money from someone who does not believe in me :-)
SirLJ··on YC: Requests for Startups
Yep, already got rejected couple of times, even before the AI boom, with my company which clearly falls under "Using Machine Learning to simulate the physical world" and "Explainable A.I." and have the potential to fall under most of the rest...
SirLJ··on Data brokers selling license plate location and analytics data
Is there a way to obscure the license plate, some semi transparent film or something to make the automatic reading difficult?

SirLJ··on Probability and Markets [pdf]
The publication ends with "Interview Myths", so I think this is geared to potential job applicants at Jane Street...
SirLJ··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (June 2023)
This was not the intent, people could have just looked at the website without signing for anything and write something on how to make it better, point errors on the website, share ideas, etc, but anyway cover letter not mandatory...
SirLJ··on Downtown San Francisco is at a tipping-point
This is good one, thank you for the smile!
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
Still, if you please take a moment to share how a strategy with one change per year is tax inefficient and how it can be made better, I and I would assume everyone else here would like to hear it... Thank you.
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
can you please elaboration the tax inefficiency, if possible?
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
Hello and thank you for coming to the conclusion that is not a grift as this is not my intention.

I am going through Startup School as well as listening to the podcast, so the idea for the referrals came from some of some of the lectures and examples there...

Please note, I am not trying to determine where the market will go over one weekend, the idea of getting the email on Friday is that if you have to change something (again changes happen once per year on average), so sill have the whole weekend to make the change and honestly even if you make the change one week later it won’t mater much in the grand scheme of things...

Yes, maybe I am naive, and yes, the website was hastily put together following the advice to launch something, and since this is my first startup idea, any advice or suggestion will be welcome.

SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
yep, those ideas will be hard to model indeed...
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
I have not tested this, so I cannot recommend it one way or another, but I am taking notes and will test it in the future... Thanks a lot for the interest and the idea.
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
Agreed, but life happens, jobs lost, family emergencies, etc..
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
Hello and please note, you are getting the email weekly, but the actual switch happens on average once a year with maximum of 4 switches in 2010. Some years there was no switching at all... Thanks a lot for the question and sorry, I guess I did not explain this more clearly...
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
The irony is that Jack Bogle was against ETFs in general and against the exact idea I am proposing here...
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
This is interesting viewpoint and thanks for taking the time and sharing... what would you suggest someone do with some extra money? Maybe I can build and run a model on that idea as I always look for new investment ideas...
SirLJ··on Show HN: Making passive investing safer and better for everyone
In my opinion, this will work only, if you have enough money so you don't have to get money out of the investment at the bottom of the downturn...
