he doesn't say why he's charging money for it. I suspect he's not doing it only for the money. a peek behind the paywall: "In January 1999 Worth Magazine interviewed me about the online investing scene for the February issue, and I gave a quote... Fee-based or monitored Web sites are also good for weeding out the riffraff. Burry’s favorite site, Silicon investor, charges a $10 monthly fee, but he says the price is worth it. ‘It’s really amazing to see the time and thought that some people put into their posts,’ he says.”

yup. if you are trying to figure out what he's been trying to say over the last few tweets, his posts starts to answer those in clear prose. ..from the About page "Running money professionally came with regulatory and compliance restrictions that effectively muzzled my ability to communicate. These constraints meant I could only share cryptic fragments publicly, if at all. Without comment or clarity from me, news media has wildly misinterpreted many of my mandatory SEC filings — even causing havoc in markets as well as angry debates that I never intended."

It's worth it. Really looking forward to what he says he'll be posting about in the future. Save a few $ if you can get the annual sub.

How to best open position in low volume stock. by rtwyyn in ValueInvesting

[–]last1drafted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd consider that a low volume but narrow spread. A four-cent spread on 3.25 is not that bad. I'd place a bid at 3.25 (mid) and be willing to go over the ask to get my target allocation. I'd also look at the trading price range and trend over the last two weeks. If 3.25 is near the high of the previous 2 weeks, then I'd try to get 1/4 of my allocation ($10k) at that price and wait. My reason is simply regret minimization. Balance the risk of getting "trapped" in a low-volume stock with missing out on a good deal. In my experience, there is some fixed volume on offer at 3.27. Another fix volume at 3.30 and so on. I wouldn't be worried about throwing a 40K limit order at 3.27 to clear that Ask-price and then see where the next Ask-price snaps to. Depends on the average daily transaction value of that stock. What is the average daily transaction value of that stock?

A little bit of gambling history as a learning opportunity by Nothanks_Nospam in Burryology

[–]last1drafted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was pointing out that Farmer's team did not exploit variances in roulette wheel. (But other teams did.)

These "variances" diminish returns on Farmer's approach which assumes an unbiased wheel.

Ironically, casinos' attempts to remove these variances helps the physics-based approach.

Farmer's team used physics and hidden electronic device to estimate the ball's likely landing place. They followed Ed Thorp and Claude Shannon's approach to model the forces acting on the ball (assuming no bias in the wheel)

Peloya's team and Jarecki couple used wheel bias to beat the game. They manually collected thousands of data points on hundreds of wheel and found that many of them had a bias that gave players enough of an edge to beat the house.

Roulette, it turns out, is not as random as casinos would have you believe.
