@TCK_JRubano More like years. Also, not sure you'll get far reading up on c++. Few write about winning systems. Working platforms written in compiled languages, that bypass bytecode translation, are a big hush. If you know someone that actually does this for a living start there.

Might learn C++ this weekend. And by “learn”, I mean order a bunch of books, pile them up by my desk (with all of the trading, market microstructure & Python books) and wait for the osmosis to happen. How long until I can update my profile & LI? Days, probably, right?

I am thrilled to announce this innovative tool, backed by best-in-class psychometrics, is now available for free to everyone. principlesyou.com/?utm_source=Tw… (3/4)

Understand the IYI (intellectual yet idiot) bureaucratic-political class: We spend trillions of $$ on Qixotic nuclear games. But: 9 m into a pandemic, we still don't have instant testing, which wd curb the pandemic & avoid lockdowns, which are costing us another few trillions.

How does this reflect a fair capitalistic democratic state, based on effort and merit!? These corporations should have reserves, which have been used over the years for stock buy-backs.

Explain to me why we should spent taxpayer money to bailout companies (airlines) who spent their cash buying their own stock so the CEO gets optionality, instead of having a crisis buffer. We should bail out individuals based on needs, not corporations. #Moralhazard

@GQMagazine Why working out barefoot is the key to toe fractures, toenail trauma, athlete's foot, etc... to name a few.

One reality of trading that never fails: When a trader is really right on a trade the position is always too small When a trader is really wrong on a trade the position is always too large.

@Rafa_Hernando Hombre, al ser territorios españoles no faltaba más 🤣

Veo a muchos troles del izquierdismo rampante, frenéticos defensores de la leyenda negra contra España. Muy propio del progresismo ignorante q desconoce q por ejemplo las primeras universidades de ese continente las fundaron los españoles. Orgulloso de ser español. Me resbalan

The Doctor said he needed to cut the finger to remove the ring. The Goldsmith said he needed to cut the ring to remove it. What did the Engineer do?

When u dream big, u must know that it will entail u falling off the horse many times along the journey. When ur mind is telling u to quit & give up, remember all the repetition & sacrifice made along the way. Sometimes the only thing we can do is sack it the fuck up and press on!
