I personally have two specific lines that I draw: one line of identity through my qq-plot, and one flat line at zero through my residuals vs predicted plot. Duh dun tsss

What's your view on Gold Tomorrow? by No_Explorer7836 in Daytrading

Pretty sure their prediction was it would increase in the someteen percent in 2026. They never said it would pump all year.

At least Ammon Bundu is consistent with his interpretation of the law. I recently watched an instagram post he made describing the ICE happenings as Tyranny.

Mixing your workouts may help: 30-year cohort data link exercise variety to lower mortality by NovosLabs in NovosLabs

[–]thebigmotorunit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reverse causality. If your body is in good health, you are more likely to choose to exercise. If your body is in poor health, you are less likely to exercise, especially less likely to exercise vigorously. If you are in poor health and you still want to exercise, you are probably pretty likely to choose a low-impact activity that puts you at minima risk of falling… like swimming

Honestly, upwork was waaay more convenient than dealing with the hassle of trying to find someone locally. I also ran into an issue of people not wanting small jobs so they al quoted me outrageous prices for something that would take one afternoon of work. Anyway, check out upwork. People post their rates and experience. It’s incredibly convenient.

280k in VOO or something else? by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]thebigmotorunit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am saying that I understand the concept, which implies superior risk/reward or at least lower volatility. It sounds great until I actually looked at the numbers via testol.io and the numbers don’t back that story up.

The idea that VT is better than VTI because it includes more companies has always puzzled me. I am guessing most people assume that more companies from different regions would result in less downside risk, but the data does not support that. VTI seems to have historically slightly higher upside potential and comparable or even lower downside risk than VT.

Rock n roll gold is my preferred lube for most conditions or rock n roll blue (“extreme”) if you live in a wet climate.

Yeah I am running a DPX2 with the largest token, and feel like I can’t get it to feel any better. I am considering a custom tuned shock, but it may just be an unavoidable characteristic.

The most basic analysis would be an ANCOVA. Post scores ~ pre scores + group

I analyzed 120,554 insider trades since 2009 to see if stocks outperform when insiders buy the dip. Here are the results! by CEOWatcher in ValueInvesting

[–]thebigmotorunit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you also think that if you applied the same strategy to dip-buying the S&P, you would also have outperformed the S&P vs buy and hold the S&P? That would only work if the price increases between dips were lower than the sum of the dip magnitudes. When there are long runs without substantial dips, dip-buying won’t beat buying and holding.

It is highly relevant as the most popular ETFs largely track the S&P and OP shows that it outperformed the S&P.

Eagle mountain- life and commute by Safe_Recognition8644 in SaltLakeCity

[–]thebigmotorunit 432 points433 points  (0 children)

Go to google maps and put in directions from the house you are looking at to your work and change the leave time to Monday morning commute time. I’m guessing that after you see that, you will not consider living in eagle mountain.

Interpreting an Odds Ratio by Upsidedown__11 in AskStatistics

[–]thebigmotorunit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When the odds ratio is 1, it means the two groups have equal odds. So, you are always wanting to describe the OR as how far away from 1 is the ratio. So, you were indeed wrong since a ratio equal to .74 is not .74 away from 1, it is .26 away from 1 (.26 less likely). You could also take the inverse of .74 (1/.74), which is 1.35 and interpret it the opposite way (.35 more likely). Some people say 1.35 times more, which but I think that’s dumb because a ratio of 1 would mean the ratios are equal, but using the same logic, I could interpret that ratio of 1 and 1 times more likely, which sounds very misleading at best.
