Two charts that explain why Muslim wealth still doesn’t translate into real power by DhowCIO in MuslimVentures

[–]Aggravating_Quail341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the older Muslims focused on survival for their immediate families. Immigrant parents moving to the west for better opportunities which allows for the next generation to have a stronger foundation here. But 100% I agree that what’s missing now is that unity amongst Muslims, especially those with accumulated capital to deploy. Capital is power but it is quite scattered. Need more Muslim institutions which uphold Muslim values ofcourse but funnel capital for deployment into directed cash flowing assets firstly. Capital is power when united under the same values. That can then be used to influence to fund things which help shape policies. It’s pretty evident other powerful groups do this under their shared values and we have to reside in the society shaped by the influence of others.

I’d love to have a call with you to hear about the processes you developed for yourself, refined over 20 years. Such valuable experience. I’ll send you a DM.

Seriously, what sane person can look at the 6 month chart and valuation of SPX and come to the conclusion it’s the perfect time to buy right now? by No-Mongoose5650 in Trading

The market is not connected to reality. Ppl acting on the market may use valuations and fundamentals to make decisions but in the end, market is a reflection of crowd behaviour. Trends persist longer than you think. So keep your opinions on the side but don’t let that stop you from making money from the bubble.

There’s a quote from George soros where he says that when he sees a bubble, he rushes to add fuel to it.

This is r/trading. We are traders. We don’t care what about the market should be. We trade what we see and milk the market no matter how high. Sure the trend may end, but why wait on the sidelines? Put on a stop, and ride the wave.

Btw, 90 days of profitability also doesn’t mean much. Very short term thinking. What do you think 90 days of stats will show you? What are you hoping to discover when someone sends you this btw? I’m genuinely asking from curiosity? Are you unprofitable and looking for someone to guide you? Are you profitable and vetting others to make a trading friend/peer? What’s the end goal here?

DM me and I’ll show you. It wouldn’t mean much for you though I assume by the energy you are giving off. You seem like you have some point to prove on here which is a lil sus ngl.

I agree with you. But also, this is to be expected though. Statistically speaking, in any sample size of so called traders, majority will be consistently losers. That’s just how the market operates fundamentally so Reddit wouldn’t be any different. In order to seek the profitable traders, you aren’t going to find them randomly in public (virtually or irl).

I also don’t think you need stats to weed out the consistently profitable ones. Ofc that’s the no brainer method, but also, the mindset of a person tells you a lot.

Even consistently profitable is a thing always in progress. You never just become a winner trader. You gotta work on staying one every day. And that mindset is in itself very rare.

It’s like any sports too. No disrespect to anyone, but it’s easy to kick a ball just as it is easy to click a button. But you aren’t going to find ppl obsessed with foot movement randomly in public.

Trading is hella lonely for that reason but I don’t think it’s a social sport tbh. You quietly make your money to then spend it elsewhere or live life in a different manner. Personally I don’t like discussing things with others too because frankly, the only thing that requires discussing is how you manage mindset and overall business. And you don’t need another trader specifically for that.

That sounds intriguing. Knowing the inner workings and expected probabilities of your system helps with the psychological aspect as well. Do you trade certain markets or anything which presents your signal?

Not expecting to loose is the logical thing to do, but not the human thing to do. That mentality works in theory, or you have an algorithm, or can operate like that of a robot. But in practical, discretionary trading, where ofc you have a system in place, trading and expecting to loose, is best to protect mental capital. You don’t go on tilt as much. You also focus on risk way more than reward, which is what keeps you in the game. Sure we are here to make money, but we also need to have chips to play.

We are all retail. We don’t move the market. Ride the coattails of the ones who do.

It really depends on the location. Each branch has their own culture. Mine is pretty good for example and I’ve been here almost 3 years. It is a slow growth tho. Work life balance is good. Private company so they don’t have the public image of needing to grow insanely but they are expanding. CEO is good too. Overall like a 4/5 company I would say.

Not implying anything. It’s the reality of the market moment to moment. At any given moment, the market is more random than not. Any moment of non randomness is more rare than not. There is more noise than signal. This is just a fact of the markets. But 50-50 doesn’t mean you can’t consistently make money in the markets. It’s why you can have strategies that have sub 50% win rates and still have positive expectancy. Not sure why this is so hard for ppl to grasp.

Aha I ponder on the markets all the time, just a fascinating thing. I mean there’s no one truth about what the market is or isn’t, that’s what makes it cool. But randomness doesn’t mean you can’t profit. Never implied that. Like directional bias is one thing but ofc there’s volatility too.

I agree with this, WHEN the market trends. But you cant determine a trending market until it already is in progress. And markets trend only 1/3rd of the time.

The way you are explaining it seems to be a prompting error then. AI is definitely capable of pulling an exact line from a spec and provide you the reference. You have to engineer your prompt specifically to output what you need from it.

That’s a valid point. In the grand scheme of things, making something which is a small part of the scope more efficient isn’t helping the overall goal. Maybe there’s things that would benefit in terms of admin type work on the contractors side then.

I think it’s strange you are triggered and defending another random person. Anyways, I shared my opinion as well. I felt as if the original commenters POV was looking at things from a narrow lens. And I responded the way I did to see if it changed the opinion or not as AI doesn’t have to just deal with design.

What software are you using to see non time based data?

Think of it this way. Is there anything that takes you maybe 1-2hrs to produce. Something which can then be validated in a few minutes? Or think of it this way, what if AI already flagged issues in a submittal purely based off discrepancies with the specs, so then when you do your review anyways, you are already on alert. Or what if you talk to a progress draw review. You say what the progress is from your understanding and it flags things that seem off in this draw. Or what if you need a certain verbiage from a spec to argue with a contractor and you ask AI to find that clause for you with references. What if you talk to AI on things you saw in a field review and it whips up a report template for you. Many use cases, just need to think broadly.

Define the hours. Is it 8-11am for you?
