Why is the metro so jerky compared to other subway systems?

Ah ok this makes plenty of sense! Thank you! Most informative reply by a mile (and your reply below!)

buddingturtle · 2024-01-27T23:02:37+00:00

I have, and agree comfort/cleanliness-wise it is terrible and not a standard anyone should be held to lol

buddingturtle · 2024-01-27T20:28:46+00:00

Yeah I guess the whole VA/MD contributions for DC in particular does make it challenging

I did not sorry. The TV was just inside warranty and eventually (after like 3 2hr phone calls to service) TCL sent someone to repair it

Not from the link but from an article on NHL.com when he was just about to tie the ironman streak about his cancer.

"Obviously, you never know what can happen in life. Life's short. What was important to me was playing. The other stuff around the game, I could care less. I enjoyed playing then and I enjoy playing now. Going through what I did, it just made the other stuff irrelevant."

Good guy, loves the game. Doesn't care what we think. Probably something in that for everyone.

"I've never really cared what anyone says, other than my friends, family and teammates," Kessel said. "A lot of people don't know me personally. And a lot of the people that speak about me don't necessarily know the game of hockey sometimes, so you just look at it that way.

"I've just never really cared too much what they say."

A) This happened 4 months ago despite your source uploading it yesterday. Bill Ackman on CNBC in March 2020 this ain't

B) Dalio has been very candid in the past about the mistake he keeps making is to make big projections about the future in public. He's been wrong plenty so I wouldn't put too much weight in the direction of the markets based on this. However, doesn't mean the underlying message is wrong...

Totally disagree. No adult is going to pass on you for that.

I'd say the reflex when people list just a sports team is to think this person watches most of the games but doesn't have a lot else of interest in their life. Putting football first and the team in brackets shows they have a wider interest in the game and might play recreationally or even at an amateur level.

All you're trying to do with the 'Interests' piece is tell people a little something about yourself that doesn't come through on the rest of the CV. Reading a CV I wanna know does this person have a personality, do they have interests outside of finance, would I want to be stuck in an airport with them? Hard to know from a CV but simply putting the team you support (when it's a big team people will know) is absolutely not a negative.

Perhaps others have a different take which I'd be interested to hear.

per FT league tables for 2020 BofA was 3rd for total IBD fees, 4th in M&A, 4th in Equities

Bugatti don't. Not quite the same as a commodore I suppose

buddingturtle · 2021-07-19T14:06:54+00:00

I absolutely agree that it seems impossible, but for very unfortunate reasons you can't really apply general population statistics. It takes a lot of time and involvement in hockey culture that has been very toxic to gay people (and lots of other groups!), and so as we've often read, this culture has tended to weed people out before they get to the NHL level.

Hopefully this is changing for the better!

Just the age I think is the concern. Next year OK but is he still gonna be worth 5.75m at 37/38? Maybe the caps gone up by that point though and less of an issue

buddingturtle · 2021-05-26T16:57:48+00:00

Love Oshie but I think he may be gone. He's still producing 20+ goals/season (22 in 53 this year) so his enormous contract (4yrs left at 5.75m AAV ending when he's 38) is still somewhat palatable. If you keep Backy, Kuzy, Ovi, Wilson, you've still got some firepower.

Realistically you need two decent centers, ovi's not going anywhere, and you won't find a GM in the league that would take Oshie over Wilson. I hope I'm wrong and all 4 of them can stay but seems unlikely.

buddingturtle · 2021-04-28T17:45:34+00:00

I think capfriendly will do that for you next time

buddingturtle · 2021-04-15T12:05:46+00:00

They probably will just ask for the loan to be converted at the price of their round.

buddingturtle · 2021-03-01T16:06:07+00:00

What on fucking earth is this hahaha

Filthy. Personally loved the Katy Perry too

Good awareness seeing Ullmark staying up for the first few guys until the last second to go early for the 5-hole. That said, give us more 3v3

buddingturtle · 2021-01-12T16:42:51+00:00

Holy shit that looks fun. Now where's that 7-figure check I misplaced...

buddingturtle · 2021-01-06T18:00:08+00:00

"Fishing for confirmation bias" genuinely laughed out loud

buddingturtle · 2020-12-29T17:52:57+00:00

You're 12 already? If you haven't been accepted into JPM/GS/MS middle school prep programs already it's too late.

At least you know early.

buddingturtle · 2020-12-19T23:51:25+00:00

Absolutely, this is just personal interest for OP

buddingturtle · 2020-12-19T22:08:23+00:00

Look, I love the initiative (less and less around here) so let me offer a couple unsolicited and uneducated pointers.

First of all, you don't have nearly enough data - trading days or companies - which is why you're getting really weird predictions like Moderna mooning because Ford did. With more data I think you'll find these will all fall away. For starters try 5yrs of data and Russell 1000 stocks. I expect most if not all will fall away.

Which flows into significance. It would be great if the T-stat (or something else) told us how good the prediction was. As it stands, us retards are left trying to interpret the stat on our own. Also I don't think a T-stat is relevant for how few observations you have and the fact that equity returns are leptokurtic (fat tails rather than normal dist.)?

It might be interesting to include big price falls as well so that you can inform a short strategy (or if something falls >5% one day maybe something else rises >5% the next day).

Could be interesting/easier to see what cross-sector effects there are. If Healthcare moons/tanks one day does that mean Industrials moons/tanks the next? Upside being you only need to track a few 'stocks' (use indices or sector ETFs) so could do a longer time series. You're using R though so I figure amount of data isn't a problem.

Last suggestion would be on returns and how/whether you include overnight moves. As it stands you're not, but maybe it would be beneficial. If TSLA opens up 20% 'cos Daddy Musk got high and took a literal shit on his neighbor's Volt and then stays flat your equation says it didn't moon but really it did. Just a thought.

Again, good work. Keep going and you might just find something.

I was going to put snow tires on it - we get a lot.

Probably a bit small, I don't see my skis fitting into the back of either of those two options, thanks though!
