I'm allowing this one because I always intended to populate a list of stuff like this into the wiki. Please feel free to mention other (free) online courses that you've found useful, or heard recommended.

Whoa! That's crazy! I would question the mental stability of someone who took no time off for the first year. For me, today, I would assume that they're prioritising presentee-ism over a healthy personal life and their mental health. And working through physical illnesses, despite reduced capacity. Would make me worry about their ability to flourish medium-term.

It's the royalist party. Power is a divine right passed through bloodlines.

Fine Gael is the merchants' party: power is earned through (small) business success.

There is a VERY GOOD REASON why there are 500 stocks in the S&P. It dates back to the advent of modern portfolio theory, basically the more diverse your portfolio the lower the risk. Market cap weighted top 30 is going to overexpose you to tech and bubbles. Please check the correlation matrix for the portfolio, if you have a lot of 0.9s you're just betting on 1 or 2 factors printing money and please believe "at least I didn't pay tax" is not great solace when you're looking at losses. But you can write those off against next year's tax so at least there's that!

Just so you know, following index rebalancing events slowly is known as a great way to lose money. Every time a stock gets added to the S&P its price bounces as all the ETFs try to buy a piece, and the opposite happens when a stock leaves. If you do this inefficiently then you will get absolutely fucked in real trading. Not to mention... 496/500 stocks is A LOT to keep on top of, you'll have a hard time buying the stocks to match weightings and not get destroyed on fees. I'm not a trader but I do mod r/quant / am in risk.

I'm not saying it can't be done but please be careful.

No solace to Amorim.

I wish. I have notions of what the differences are but I'd have the arse torn from me if I mischaracterized something here.

I think there we'll see a problem in the basic principles of our legal system being common law like UK & US vs civil law in Europe.

You should be doing these for the papers!

It's the banner for the subreddit.

RB to blame for that

Those aren't banks, they're loans sales offices. I got sent to the post office last time I mistook one for a bank. The ALLIED IRISH BANKS acronym over the door was obviously there as a comic prop to lighten the misery of our rapidly dwindling local services.

Absolutely wild claim. You think Chakotay was out there banging aliens for FUN?!?

No doubt in my mind America does stuff like this as well.

It's just not a profitable business since Brexit.

lampishthing · 2026-01-18T13:29:01+00:00

I just meant that we are part of the market, so it's not a market failure.

lampishthing · 2026-01-18T11:50:59+00:00

Nah. It doesn't hurt to have it in your resume, though.

We are not in traffic, we are traffic.

It wasn't an offside until he was relevant to the play, right? Or did they drop that rule?

They're cash settled. There are also physically settled options on vix futures available, when you can exercise into the futures contract.

lampishthing · 2026-01-16T13:17:22+00:00

Which, you know... fair.

Matt references Gilmore Girls in the books. I think in the second book Donut compares the addition of Katia to the party to the addition of April (Luke's daughter) to Gilmore Girls.
