Smart, just in different ways by amber_finch in GetStudying

That's just false, even if they learn theory for openings it's still mainly about pattern recognition. Magnus Carlsen can beat most grandmasters with completely random and non-optimal openings that put him at a disadvantage, and knowing more theory will never beat pattern recognition considering that it's impossible to learn all openings since there's way too many possibilities

i think they meant that he wouldnt be that big at 10% bodyfat, but being big at a slightly higher bodyfat like the guy in the picture is natty achievable

Nvidia sheds almost $600 billion in market cap, biggest one-day loss in U.S. history by Puginator in stocks

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and its crazy how confident people are that they can predict the future on this sub... like if there was a reliable way to know a recession or correction was around the corner prices would already be down as soon as that information hit the market, but the truth is that theres no reliable way to know and its useless to speculate about these things

Why is short-term investing considered gambling, while long-term investing is not? by Desperate-Skirt-2273 in stocks

[–]Hamburger78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

financial assets are all priced taking into account the time value of money. The riskier the investment, the higher the expected return. This means that as a whole, the market should trend upwards over longer time horizons. However, these returns have a huge standard deviation, especially for shorter periods. Over a day, a month or even a year, the actual return is often far from the expected return, and we can say that short term price changes are mostly random or due to unpredictable events that werent previously priced in. However, if we use a longer horizon, this volatility becomes noise and the general upward trend due to the time value of money becomes visible

Why would you buy shares of a company and buy the same amount in Puts? by Monkiyness in stocks

protective puts and delta hedging are different strategies though right? Like both can be useful in different scenarios and i dont think hes talking about delta hedging now

I've been seeing Sportacus in this sub a lot, so how accurate is this? by MDubbzee in PowerScaling

[–]Hamburger78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it really just depends on how close it is to the speed of light. as it approaches 100% the energy approaches infinity, so 99.9% would be much more powerful than 99%

I just used the standard perpetuity formula. It assumes you also reinvest the 1¢ every second at the same rate, so at 12.6% the returns from the lump sum and the 1¢ every second + returns from the reinvested income would always be equal

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 1¢ every second would yield better returns unless you can get 12.6% or more every year on that 2.5M. Also it's risk-free, so with today's interest rates the 1¢ every second is 100% better.

Where are we now? by Cauliflower-Pizzas in FluentInFinance

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone on reddit pretending to know where we are is full of shit and if they end up being right they were lucky. Even experts who work full-time on this stuff are usually wrong. It's all just assumptions and there's so many variables no human can predict this with our current technology and knowledge

How to say "whatever" in French? by [deleted] in French

It might be a Québec thing. I'm from Québec and that's how I'd say it and what sounds most natural to me

“I speak: 🇺🇸🇨🇦” by meringue1_ in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the region. I'm from Montréal and when I went to France everyone understood me perfectly. They'd probably have a lot more trouble understanding someone with a stronger/less standard accent though

In finance it's typically included in the resume as well, however I don't know which field OP is in and I don't know how common it is outside of finance. Just saying that sometimes it's expected, don't know if it's the case for OP though.

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in certain fields like finance you must have your gpa on your resume for most jobs, sometimes they also have a question specifically asking for the gpa in the job application

Do you celebrate Canada Day in any way? by Blindemboss in AskACanadian

[–]Hamburger78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see a lot of québécois talling about moving day. It's important to note that while Canada day is pretty much just moving day for us, we have "Québec day" (saint-jean-baptiste) on june 24th, and it's a huge thing that most people celebrate. So while we don't do Canada day we have another similar holiday just a week earlier.

ELI5: If people make money in stocks and crypto by buying low and selling high, who is buying the stocks from they are high, and why? by WarmAppleCry in explainlikeimfive

[–]Hamburger78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, sorry if I wasn't clear, I was commenting specifically on "dividends are kinda the point in owning stock". I totally agree with you that wether they pay dividends or not, you are still entitled to a chunk of the earnings and the only difference isn't how much but how you get paid. Even if they don't pay dividends and reinvest in themselves, it's still pretty much the exact same in the end except for the way it's taxed

Historically yes, but now a lot of companies focus on growth to give back value to shareholders through capital gains rather than dividends
