I just want to point out that it's humorously appropriate for a user named "Spivak" to mention pullbacks.

Definitely more than just Andras -- some other demons from the Goetia are present.

I've worked in sales before (in the investment bank), and was chewed out for the 3 months I tried to grow out a beard.

I have no trouble believing the rules for sales are not the same as the rules for IS/IT.

They're probably more stringent as it's directly customer facing.

"I saw not one of them was calling for impeachment for what would absolutely be a crime if it is true."

That isn't accurate. Trump committing this wouldn't be a crime, but Hillary doing it would be. Presidents have the ability to un-classify classified info on the fly. That's why no one called for his impeachment on that event, and just questioned his competency.

On the other hand, note that when it came to his possible obstruction of justice (i.e. the Comey memo), the discussion of impeachment did come up.

Believe it or not, buying a very expensive home with poor understanding of the market and finance mostly through debt can be seen as analogous to un-collateralized leveraged investing....

Bridgewater. It's um... interesting.

It's kinda a soft ban though, and hard for any MD to enforce when they're the most guilty of it.

We don't usually think about absolute return as much as we do return conditioned on an acceptable level of risk.

You can almost think of risk as currency, i.e. each addition unit of risk opens you to strategies with higher expected return. But you can also access strategies for which you're able to "pay" the risk (basically fits into your tolerances).

Yup, quite a few of us still use a HP-12c. I have one at my work desk and personal desk; what an absolute beauty of a device.

So not true. Try going east <-> west.
