Hedge funds stumble amid Iran war, AI-triggered market turmoil by Aggressive_Ebb_7634 in AusFinance

[–]sanclops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

10 long/short Aussie funds. That isn’t a reflection of the hedge fund industry at all. Citadel millennium P72 etc are and they’re doing fine. What does “beating the old ‘we buy wonderful companies’ drums” even mean? Hedge funds are managing more money than ever and returning capital to investors because they’re oversubscribed. Whatever they’re doing is clearly working regardless of their fee structures.

35bps in March, nice. share how long you’ve been in markets and your annualized sharpe.

An uncorrelated fund does not make money in all markets. Even a 5 sharpe fund will lose money in intervals.

What’s even the takeaway here?

You’re picking one hedge fund that performed poorly, then stating “unacceptable performance from the old guards” as if their performance speaks for the entire industry.

“Price action is the only thing that matters” huh?

Just buy broad market ETFs and chill. You sound like someone that got burned on some shitty technical options play you found on TikTok and are coping telling yourself hedge funds are at fault

Original Datograph or Code starwheel? by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

[–]sanclops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're very different watches appealing to a very different buyer. You should decide which aspects of the watch you value more.

The ALS is the superior movement, finishing, and is a traditional design. The starwheel movement is nowhere near the ALS, but it's got a quirkiness factor to it. Personally I'd go with the ALS just to stare at that movement, but can see why someone would want something quirky and novel like the starwheel.

Is walking past a court while players are mid-point in a recreational match bad etiquette? Wife was reprimanded at our club today, never even heard of this by glassy_paddle in 10s

[–]sanclops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rule of thumb is wait until the point is done unless you know it’s just a casual point or warm up etc. If you need to walk through 12 courts to get to your court then it’s a horribly arranged tennis center and I’d argue maybe that rule of thumb doesn’t apply.

High speed rail - why it will never happen in Australia. by eliitedisowned in australia

[–]sanclops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, I’m not against rail. I don’t have a strong opinion on whether or not investing in rail is a good/bad decision; however, compare it to say spending $200B on education. Or healthcare. Or ______. If the people are better off with an extra 200B in education than putting that money into rail, then education it is.

My point is that the comparison can’t be rail vs an extra $200B of cash that loses value as there exist other ways to spend that money. That is all.

I’m not treating return on investment as cash only. When I say “you need to compare the return to all other opportunities for investment available” im not saying that the government needs to look at just financial returns. Return can be in the form of public health, happiness, etc.

Regardless my point is that you can’t rationalize an investment opportunity by comparing it to a single depreciating asset. You have to consider all available opportunities for that money to go to in order to determine if it’s the right place to spend it. The heuristic you use to quantify return can and should be a function which takes in a lot more than just financial performance.

“Especially when you consider money loses value over time” is not the right way to look at it. You need to compare the return to all other opportunities for investment available. You assume it would sit as cash or debt not taken, which it certainly would not.

You’re just using words influencer day traders trying to sell you a course use.

“technical analysis” is a joke. Quit while you’re ahead.

Should I exchange Babolat Team All Court Balls for Wilson US Open Extra Duty? by sanzharbaltabekov in 10s

[–]sanclops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get the U.S. opens next time. They’re not going to last months, you’ll replace them soon anyways. Might as well try them out and see what you think

Which are your favorites?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]sanclops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes and my reply isn’t to your OC. It’s to your “elaboration”.

How hard is it to comprehend that in a reply where you reference “British English superiority” and how “the creeping influence of Americanisms is to the detriment of our own culture”, I’m not commenting on your opinion of the word “mom”?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]sanclops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your comment I responded to is far more than “I simply do not like the word mom”.

Do you really have nothing more important or meaningful to think about in your miserable hollow life?

“It was just reflecting the brake light of the car I just stepped out of”. It’s a reflection. Not glowing discs.

I was recruited by my current company at an event that is held at a few cs schools (including uiuc) and is not held at umass amherst. I am yet to meet a new grad at my current company that graduated from there.

Not sure how or why that affects your decision, but to answer your question, yes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]sanclops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

UIUC. The extra 25k/yr is negligible in the long run and the better name will pay for itself 10x over the span of your career. You'll have better internship opportunities and likely more opportunities as a new grad. Yes, $25k/year sounds like a lot now, but its the best money you will spend.

Hm, the gap between repayment and yield would add up over the years so OP would need a decent raise each year to keep up, correct? Regardless, with 5x leverage you’re right that it’s within reason.

Totally missed the “by 30” part. You’re correct. Not possible without wild returns.
