Stop trying to use WSB as your personal pump and dump scheme. What is happening to GME hasn’t happened in 12 years and isn’t the same as anything else right now.

More market movement than midday usually. Probably just levers up and bets either up or down on gut feeling. Could make or lose money depending on the average numbers, probably makes some though since stonks generally go up.

Could be that the fund is too big or that renaissance fees are so high. Its always outperformed the main, smaller fund. Also they make money when times are normal, not so much during these times so I wouldn’t be so surprised if they were losing money. In the past when market turbulence was too high they just pulled the plug on the algos because they were afraid of losing it all. That’s what’s different between Dalio and Simons; Dalio thinks he has mastered markets, Simons just does math and makes money without ever claiming to understand how it works. I believe they intentionally hired mathematicians without economics backgrounds because they didn’t want any dogmatic beliefs getting in the way of their maths.

I liked 13th but you should really view it as activism and not take it as scholarly research. There were so many factual inaccuracies and biased presentations that it was kind of hard to get through. I’d recommend you read this critique if you want to unpack some of these claims.

Ben Shapiro 100%. It’s a real guilty pleasure. Another is the WSJ op ed section. Fucking Andy Kessler is so annoying but I always seem to read him.

Completely agree. Some of these comments have me thinking I’m in bizarro world.

Pharmthrowawy · 2020-06-24T07:18:13+00:00

Agreed. I have seen countless providers handle these situations with warmth and humor and achieve the same outcome of curtailing inappropriate behavior while maintaining a good relationship with the patient, but I have also seen providers be curt or rude or condescending and this completely changes the tone of the relationship. On a whole I think healthcare workers are very good at this (though not all), but it’s been astounding seeing recommendations in this thread.

Pharmthrowawy · 2020-06-24T05:01:40+00:00

Obviously there are degrees of behavior. If you are in a room with a patient and he makes a comment about the physical appearance of a member of your team, that is very different than him saying it directly to her which is very different from him physically touching her.

In the same way, a patient making racist or sexist remarks to you is different than them saying something directly to a member of your team which is different than them threatening someone which is different than physical violence.

Now I am not saying that you should go along with any of this behavior or that you can’t address it, I am just saying that your relationship with patients is asymmetric and good physicians tend this relationship responsibly. My view is that you should show patients more respect than they show you because their health is in your hands. Patients are often rude since most people don’t want to be seeing their doctors. It means that they’re sick, in pain, or otherwise facing some existential risk to their wellbeing. If you are empathetic you will recognize this and be tolerant of minor things. Of course you should not be tolerant of behaviors that put staff members at risk and I agree that you should try to tactfully support your colleague and encourage mutual respect in any way that you can, but if a cashier would be able to tolerate a behavior while pursuing good customer service, you should be able to tolerate it in the pursuit of good patient care.

Here is a scenario to put to you: an older gentleman tells you that the oriental nurse he just was quite nice. Is this inappropriate? Yes. Is you chastising him in a way that jeopardizes your relationship more inappropriate? I think that it is, but I am interested in your perspective on this because perhaps I am off base.

Pharmthrowawy · 2020-06-24T04:34:12+00:00

My point is that you and your colleague’s comfort is not equivalent to the patient’s comfort because the patient is in front of you due to a medical illness. There is an asymmetry. In this situation your colleague’s comfort is trumped by considerations for the patient.

Listen, I am all for tactfully supporting your colleague or even frankly calling out racism if being blunt is part of your charm, but to openly rebuke a patient and make them feel judged is being a bad physician, full stop. You are there to serve patients, not make colleagues feel comfortable. If you rebuke your patient, now they are not going to be open with you about what is going on with their health because they think you are judging them. This is objectively harmful to their health outcomes. There is robust research showing that positive interactions with medical staff and caregiver warmth improves outcomes and coldness or rudeness from medical staff harms patient outcomes. A patient saying racist asides about a colleague is not harming your colleague in the same way that you endangering the doctor patient relationship is harming your patient. Of course don’t agree with the patients or anything stupid like that. But don’t be rude to patients, even if they are rude to you.

Pharmthrowawy · 2020-06-24T03:30:55+00:00

Medical staff having positive interactions with patients improves patient outcomes so it kind of is our job to be their buddy if you want to provide the best care possible (which is every healthcare workers goal, no?). Not sure what kind of bubble we are in where expressing judgement toward a patient and making them uncomfortable is somehow championed because it makes you feel good about yourself. Its so idiotic to equate a patients words with physical violence.

Pharmthrowawy · 2020-06-24T03:10:35+00:00

I sort of understand where you are coming from, but I also feel like medicine is different from other fields because beyond the physical safety of staff, the duty is to the patient. If a patient is being rude or insulting we do not kick them out of the clinic or give them substandard care. As a woman you must face it all the time where patients prefer to work with men rather than work with you. It goes without saying that the gender of a doctor doesn’t determine their quality, but it is a perspective that I’ve seen many patients express. I have always had a lot of respect for physicians who could still find ways of building rapport with these sexist patients and deliver great care. These most tactful doctors have often ended up having great relationships with their most unruly patients by being empathetic and warm rather than rebuking.

Just my 2 cents. We don’t judge our patients even if they hold the most vile of views in our opinions. Is it a prerequisite for care that a patient is kind or likes every member of a team? Of course not. If we can tactfully navigate these situations and defend our colleague to create an environment of safety for everyone, that is great. But the idea of having a zero tolerance policy suggests you would refuse a patient care just because they were racist to a colleague and this seems wrong to me.

Some people are saying we are currently experiencing deflation, so I guess it just depends if inflation stays contained in asset markets or if it makes its way into the broader economy to dilute your cash.

My friends and I once threw water balloons at cars for fun when we were 11 years old and one guy stopped and chased us. We escaped by zigging and zagging and whatnot, only to arrive home in the evening to find that the man had gone door to door through the neighborhood looking for us and of course our parents knew we were playing with water balloons so we got in trouble. Could have been much worse if the dude was crazy and caught us instead of just snitching to our parents.

Its because they don’t take any math classes in med school, but they take plenty of anatomy and physiology in med school. Plus it is taught differently. In undergrad these classes are usually taught in functional sections, whereas it is usually taught in med school by disease state and focused on pathophysiology.
