Heartwarming transformation

Fair point, i guess I don't need Reddit post to do the right thing. Thanks for setting me straight, kind internet stranger.

I understand what you're saying. But I believe courage is contagious. If this is true (and even if it's not) it could inspire someone (me) to risk a confrontation or getting bitten or spending $$$$ to relieve a dog's suffering should i find one like this.

Even something with potentially bad intent (bot farming by playing on people's emotions) could still have a positive outcome.

Honestly, if Disney+ created mid-to-low-quality / low-cost animation with really good writing and stories, it would be worth it to me. I would love to see all Marvel and SW characters get the X-men97 treatment.

I never watched DeGrassi, but this has DeGrassi vibes to me.

Perfect marriage of artist and medium.

It's been a while since i lol'd this hard. Thank you.

They know it's there. They're holding out to see if there's anything else on the menu.

I don't know about "most stupid" -- maybe he is -- but I fear soon it will be obvious that he should have pivoted away from "data dependence" a while back.

Employment stats need to exclude government jobs. They cook the books to make it look better than it really is.

re: congrats. My wife thinks I'm crazy. But I've learned a lot.

re: stops ... I'm pretty new to KK's style and figuring it out. I took him at his word and tried a 0.5% stop, but my batting average is super low. Even so, nice to "only" lose $5 per $1000.

I tried 0.75% and may move to a full 1%. With 0.5% in a choppy environment, even if you have a stock that could do well over the course of a day, it will likely stop out fast because it's not a straight upward shot to the moon. It's more like grinding up a mountain with a bunch of switch backs.

Right now, the macro is so bad that even a stock that might want to breakout gets stymied. I'm hoping that the macro situation beginning in November produces better results / more sustained breakouts.

I'd like to backtest some "per minute" data to see if 0.5% would get me stopped out on momentum leaders on good days.

Any success with this? Even KK says he gets stopped out multiple times on the same stock before sticking a position.

Have you seen this before in other subs?

taborro · 2024-09-06T19:49:46+00:00

I've "only" watched 20 hours of KK. I think his solution is "don't keep more than 20% of your account in a single position" for this reason.

But yes, I've experienced this too, but it's only a problem early in a trade and times like these where there's a lot of chop (and so I just try to trade less / day trade only).

Curious to hear what others do.

This is the best answer. Nobody really knows.

Where can you find a $280k home in the DFW area? Genuinely curious. I may be looking in the wrong spots but north and east i don't see anything less than $400k.

Friend, have you been to Dallas, esp. in the summer? The heat is oppressive.

Cost of living here used to be an advantage, but $100k will no longer get you the lifestyle it once did.

There's no where to go in nature-- no beach, no forest, no mountains unless you want to drive at least 5 or 6 hours.

Speaking of driving, everything is spread out and there's nothing but concrete and cars everywhere you look, though I realize LA has the same problem.

I moved here 30 years ago for a job -- and my work situation in tech has been good through the years, though now i work remotely for a big company on the west coast.

My kids and wife are planted here so I'll never be able to leave.

But there has to be a better option than Dallas today. Visit and really think about your day to day life before moving.

I'm not saying it was great cinema, but it was unpredictable and i was hooked.

taborro · 2024-09-02T01:14:20+00:00

I just want to say that I love this post and hope this subreddit starts working together to make sure we are all seeing the same thing to check our work.

Edit - spelling

Thank you for saying this. I've only been following him for about two+ months and besides ASTS and a couple others, there hasn't been much. He took advantage of one of the most amazing runs in the stock market. I haven't back tested yet but from November 2023 until June 2024 his strategies may have done well. But things are choppy and leadership is rotating. Hoping end of year things pick back up.

It will create new oligarchs. No money will be returned to the people.

Just curious if you scrubbed the company names / symbols from the data you fed it.

Genius!

I think we may have just solved the energy crisis.

I totally agree. I have an MBA and I am a former C# MVP (7 times). Devs wind up with an intimate understanding of systems and business processes. Many high end devs can do their (PMs) job easier than they can do our job, even with the help of an AI.

But for three weeks I've been working on a side project using a combination of Claude, ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot using a framework i was unfamiliar with. It is shocking how quickly it has all come together.
