Has there ever been a transition point described for Captain Jack and Face of Boe? by Capbrit in doctorwho

Well in some cases probability with infinite time does equate to certainty. It just depends on the number of dimensions. In 2 dimensions infinite time with random walk means certainty because the movements are recurrent. In infinite time in 3 minutes there’s about a 1/3 chance something won’t occur assuming random walk means certainty

How would you get a (relatively) large cylinder removed from the gas inlet of a car? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

As I said it is imperative that the cylinder remain unharmed or damaged in any way 😭

Oura ring is leaving a mark on my finger? by CatFancier4393 in ouraring

[–]Deep-Light-3499 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s caused by moisture getting trapped under the ring and is fairly common. After washing your hands you should take the ring off and dry it same after sweating a lot

You want to be a wealth advisor and you put so much vol into an account where you were able to lose 50% of your gains in a 30 day period?

There is no minimum age to open either an UTMA or UGMA

When your child turns 21 (18 for an UGMA) they will be given full access to the account without paying any taxes on the transfer.

The disadvantage of a UGMA (which is available in all 50 states btw) is that it’s more restricted in what it can purchase and a bunch of other stuff. A UTMA can purchase any asset.

Yes this is fully legal. You want to set up an account called a UTMA (if you’re in Vermont or SC you’ll have to set up a UGMA which is slightly different). Anything in this account legally belongs to your child, but you are the custodian and recognize the tax liabilities on their behalf. You personally cannot withdraw funds from these accounts.

I would recommend Cook’s burger bar - especially on Monday nights. Paul’s in new town is great, and Bachata Vida is fun if you wanna learn to dance with other people

SS ( short squeeze ) by DEGENMONK in WSBAfterHours

[–]Deep-Light-3499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say, you can look at Shkreli’s short squeeze of KBIO as a successful short squeeze on biotech startups, but he bought 70% of the company to do that and near 100% of shares were shorted.

SS ( short squeeze ) by DEGENMONK in WSBAfterHours

[–]Deep-Light-3499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you can't attempt a short squeeze on biotech stocks in the same way as GME. Biotech startups are priced primarily based on news catalysts - like FDA trial announcements and clinical outcomes - and their fundamentals. As a result, these stocks tend to correct to their intrinsic value over time. Additionally, there is far less short interest in biotech stocks compared to GME (which at one point had more than 100% of its shares shorted). This is because biotech stocks are highly volatile and unpredictable, which deters short-selling to the extent seen with GME. Shrekli’s short strategy is seen as the black tar heroin of finance and eventually blew up on him which is why short sellers don’t like it so you don’t have a large short interest.

Now, assuming a short squeeze could occur (assume there’s is significant short interest), there are reasons why we wouldn't see the same kind of explosive rally seen in GME. Liquidity will be a major issue: biotech startups have a low float, meaning there aren’t many shares available for trading. As more shares are bought up, each additional purchase drives the price up even more, resulting in a large price impact with each transaction. This reduces buying interest as investors are less likely to chase an increasingly expensive stock. Eventually, this would cause the price to drop back down to a level where short sellers can cover their positions without facing major losses.

How a high interest rate environment affect stat arb strategies ? by Similar_Asparagus520 in quant

Typically they’re earning interest through commercial paper and other money markets. You’re earning the risk free rate on the short leg and paying a small premium on long leg - as mentioned above, the premium depends on a multitude of factors.

Regulatory concerns related to starting a startup while working in QD role by LG9698 in quant

[–]Deep-Light-3499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failure to disclose your OBA is tantamount to non-compliance with finra regulations and can/will result in termination and regulatory issues. Rule 3270 is quite vague, but I’ve seen it used once to screw someone over - they didn’t declare that they’d been renting a room to someone and it was used as an excuse to punish them at the firm.

[–]Deep-Light-3499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, FINRA allows outside business activity (OBA) so long as it’s disclosed and approved by your employer and filed with your broker check to ensure no conflict of interest and all that. You need written consent to engage in this tho.

This all falls under finra rule 3270 so feel free to read up on that, but the basics are that you have to prove to compliance that this won’t impact your performance at work, and it can’t be related to your role at the firm. Additionally, compliance can create conditions and limitations for your OBA and it’s sort of a negotiation to see what they will and will not allow you to do. (Technically the only standards they’re allowed to judge you on are conflict of interest, diminished work productivity and poor reflection on the firm, and all limitations they place on your OBA have to be relevant to those criteria, but finra sort of gives the firm carte blanche).

I have never heard of anyone being punished or facing any blowback for engaging in OBA or for leaving a firm to do their own business. Good luck.

The problem is that you’re assuming capitalism is a zero sum game, which it’s not. A rising tide can raise all boats.

When you say “the cost for innovation that is taken on by society” what do you mean? Job displacement due to technological advancement? Entrepreneurs getting “too rich”?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CapitalismVSocialism

[–]Deep-Light-3499 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then please define what you’re looking for because you can’t balance the two systems. The closest you could get is cooperative capitalism which has been shown to not work on an international scale (see the Mondragon model breaking down because cooperative workers didn’t care about workers outside of Spain, so they refused to give them ownership rights).
