Re: Ask HN: How much recurring income do you generate and from what?
#242One day, I saw opportunity. I called in sick from work the next day (because I just couldn't wait for the weekend!) and hacked out an Android app. Net result after several years: $50,000 in revenue. The way it happened is that I was already working on my Iridium Flares app, when one day I saw a certain new app launched. I knew I could do it better and I already had some useful code from another project, so I called i…

Would you be able to provide more details on that SSL error? The http url should redirect to the https (if your browser doesn't do it for you first).

#243I see many comments about Android apps as money-makers, but only one for iOS. Does that reflect where app sales are in each market, or are Hacker News commenters just much more likely to be Android users?

Site looks nice, did you use a specific frontend/css framework for the design?
Thanks! Mostly it is all from scratched. I used bootstrap for the grid. Here a little article about the process: https://medium.com/sketch-tricks/how-i-used-sketch-to-design...

I have more then 60k in the account. Yes, results are atypical. I said that in the blog post. I also said assume 8% a year returns on average. Edit: Btw, everything you said is true. And great advice for those trying to follow a similar path. I rarely even check my on my stocks, it's mostly set it and forget it. I simplified this for family members and friends who I think would benefit greatly from investing.
Hey Steven, I saw what your investing allocation was from your blog post 60% VTSAX, 25% VTIAX, 10% VGSIX, & 5% VBTLX Have you heard of betterment? https://www.betterment.com/portfolio/ What do you think of betterments portfolio strategy and allocation? For younger people they recommend 90% stocks 10% bonds.
Why Betterment over Future Advisor? I really like the latter, but haven't really looked into Betterment all that much.

Play only money that you don't need, my program aims to 3% per month. Choose a sector that you like (biotech , videogames etc ...). Take care of trading costs. And if you are a programmer try to find pattern in stocks. https://www.quantopian.com/home If you play even with an algorithm or without, write your rules (i play this amount, i go aout at this date or if i loose this percent). Have a clean head when you play.…
As a neophyte trader, I can't tell the difference between technical analysis, and what Skrudge does. Can you elaborate ?
Technical analysis, take too much non rationnal things in account and try to find pattern with it or rationnalise it after. It tries to find pattern and rationnalise it with its method (that use too much random , too much non relationnal things (i even heard one use golden number)).
Here i'am just trying to find pattern in stocks and find if an event can explain it.
I correlate event and stocks fluctuation. The goal is to find event that are regular (like black friday or a keynote for apple or announcement etc ...)
I will not say it will goes up because of my method, i say it will goes up because there is the black friday / christmas / exdividend Date.
English is not my main langage. Don't donate to us if you want but run away when someone talk about technical analysis.
Sometimes stock market is so random that you can "explain" it with bullshit theory.

Nice site! But friendly tip: you have a small CSS rendering bug in the prices listed on the front page when using an iPhone 5 in portrait mode.
Thanks very much for reporting this! It’s now fixed.
