Besides the common responses like pick an idea you actually want to work on and will enjoy doing and where you have the skills to do the work needed... I recommend doing some resea…

One of pg's best essays IMO. I think it's worth reading at least twice, the second time read from the bottom section back to up the top.

Sounds like you're already doing some research and are off to a good start. There's a couple book recommendations in other comments that mention some famous great books about inves…

My apologies. You're totally right, dang. Thanks for keeping this site civil and all the other work done for HN.

Thanks. For a second I thought I was chatting with someone you who knew what they were talking out. I appreciate you confirming you were basing your answer of something you read 10…

I see in the comments there are still some workarounds to this paywall. Good to know. Cheers. Just a reminder another workaround to the paywall is to you know actually subscribe to…

Ya I'm still learning to write in English, sometimes this means to practice writing more when and where one can. Best of luck to you.

Ah, dave_sullivan welcome back. How about this, below is the link to the data (S&P 500 daily returns), whoever is right will donate money to an education-related charity at 70% of …

Ya man I been in the industry a long time I remember Brian Hunter from even before Amaranth. Always interesting reading when his name pops up. Clearly, a brilliant trader on a diff…

I'm being totally serious here as I'd love to learn where my writing and communication is being unclear: May I ask, did you read my full comment? And do you know the definition of …

> For instance, if you can capture 70% of market ups while only taking 70% of the downs, you'll beat the market. Is not correct.

Ok Hacker News, I think I am done for the day after this. Just to be clear, we are talking about a 30x return in someone's entire net worth, in 12 months, from trading. I didn't sa…

I can try. Firstly, worth mentioning the quote is a bit facetious, witty, jocose...Jolly old Warren Buffett can often be a bit playful and sort of sarcastic when talking about inve…

Firstly: this is just overall a ridiculously incorrect comment. Second: the 30x return discussed was back in 2008-2009. The flash crash you are talking about happened in 2010. Also…

Competition happens. Sometimes it shows up early. Before being able to give a good answer to your questions, to be honest I think you are asking the wrong questions in this situati…

That's not his first rule. It's way better than that: "Rule No.1 is never lose money. Rule No.2 is never forget Rule No. 1." -Warren "Buff Daddy" Buffett

> The 6 years he spent learning at another trading firm or the fact that on his own he probably had alot less risk oversight that allowed him to lever up more than he would have in…

Wall Street is also known for visiting and doing on-campus recruiting at only a very small list of target schools. Right or wrong every year we pick which schools to give this extr…

"Unfortunately, it’s a situation of investor indifference -- everyone is used to Twitter’s troubles by now.” Could easily replace "Twitter" in this quote with a scary number of oth…

I don't think you will find a standard answer. Depends on the company, the team, your experience level, how technical the PM role is, etc... PM salary could be higher or lower but …

This is cool. Has potential. Might be interesting to see other convert options besides time worked, like convert prices to "# of meals donated to starving children in Africa" or % …

Twilio and Amazon do appear to have connections. Lawson worked at Amazon briefly. Rick Dalzell is the former CIO of Amazon and sits on Twilio's board (I would imagine he knows Bezo…

> because I myself am a user of these sites Well how did you come to find/become a user of all these sites?... Upvote for your use of the "ask HN promotion strategy" done a bit mor…

Just curious, why would you "bet heavily" Twilio overtakes Blackberry's market cap "soon"? It's an interesting view to have, considering you know Twilio's value has been free falli…
