There’s a great deal of money to be made, from Larry Williams
November 12, 2021 |
There's a great deal of money to be made being bearish…as an investment advisor or publisher.
There is a great deal of money to be made being bullish as a real investor.
Nils Poertner comments:
generally true agree. easier to sound scepitcal in life - no academic person normally wants to sound like a constant cheerleader
that said, maybe next 2 yrs different than last 2 yrs - and lots of refinement, creativity, imagination needed as in right hemisphere type of job
James Lackey writes:
Of course there is a lot of money made by doing nothing as well. Sell premium but the argument is not how to make money the argument was: What’s the cost? Time and price are currently market marked and what’s the mystery? The future time and prices. What’s the cost of carry the opportunity cost how many calories are being expended by being long short flat
Thermodynamics of the entire system comes to mind:
The market eco system
The firms eco system
Family
Your inner voice peace or
In my case: Brain damage from Cognitive Dissonance
Nils Poertner expands:
Health (incl mental health) is already a huge topic not just for ppl on this list. coz our lifestyle is often normal these days but still unnatural. And we have lost touch with what is natural a bit..
Eg. light. we need light - daylight eg. the amount of time we spend indoor is like 3pc on average in the US (compared to 10 many decades ago)- am speaking about kids - it is probably the same for adults or worse.. Also ppl chroincally jetlagged without ever having taken a flight as they use too much artificial light /don't get enough darkness /sleep at nite. (eg I used to trade Asian fx during European hours …. - you can imagine how my body clock got out of whack etc etc etc)
see Jacob Libermangood intro on light, vision and health
James Lackey responds:
This is fantastic! The Huberman Lab agrees a… The brain is the eyes and the eyes literally pop out of the skull during development. Light is s key to good mental health!
Andrew advises to watch the sunrise and sunset daily. My Lack Hack to reset or to maintain the body clock meme is Planet Fitness. My hypothesis is if we watch the fireball in the sky dip from horizon it’s about 2 minutes from bottom to top if your on a British Navy ship a few hundred years ago it was a simple task and all hands on deck. If we are on the equator this is 12 hour days.
Shakelton in his arctic voyages had a big problem. In Alaska Army guys have a point in the year of incredibly low sunlight or 24 hours of dark like an eclipse day and 24 hours of blue skies at night. The Army and the British navy always find life hacks to be fit for duty
Ok so you want to fall asleep by let’s say 9 pm tonight? Get up 3 am and blast yourself in stand up tan room at planet fitness! It’s close then a few minutes before dawn get outside and literally stare at the color change of the shy at nautical sunrise which is before the fireball
The Huberman lab falsified my hypothesis that’s it’s the 2 minutes it take for fireball to go from top to bottom. That doesn’t work. What does work is the change and range of colors of the sky the light refraction. Then why the lack hack do planet fitness 18 hours before exact bed night go to sleep in a cool dark silence room?
Because like trader it’s the duration and the magnitude of the sunlight daily! Ya see in S Florida a very light skinned person has to be careful due to the magnitude of the sun on skin cancer spectrum. Therefore the duration and Magnitude is imperative for physical and mental health. When I realize that I shut all lights off in my house when my daily sun limit was maxed out IR too much sun at beach and bmx track I said omg!
So the falsified hypothesis led to another it’s not only the eyes signal the brain chemistry the sun rise plus 16/18 hours you see sunset and boom you can sleep. You need f(X) amount of physical sunlight and duration and magnitude must be maximum for your body skin etc/brain chemistry and dna what ever the hades all that must mean.
I’m genetic white Nordic and I’m tricking my eyes to signal it’s brain to think it’s Summer Solatice in Fall or best Winter
PS trade the Dax vs SPU for a bit and live dad bmx dad life it was too hard until we used science!
