They said they hold 30% of their reserves in commercial paper (but plan to reduce that). Did you confuse this with them offering a 30% return to...
It obviously depends on how you trade. Spreads are a problem if you need immediate fills and take liquidity from the order book. But spreads can...
100% correct. You really have to love probability theory and do the math for this to become clear. Reading about "the math" in the context of...
Silver has been a pretty good inflation hedge. It's volatile, of course. But the holding costs are zero for 99.9% of us.
Correct. Gold (and especially silver) are lagging because they are boring right now. History shows this state will not last. Lots of people...
The 20% return caused capital misallocations that created the inevitable collapse. It might have worked if the primary holder of UST was someone...
Soooooo when crypto dropped 50% why didn't the money flow back into gold?

Nonlinear regression analysis solves the problem you are describing. What sort of tools that fall under the category of "chaos theory" have you...
Then I think the discussion can be summed up like this: Any set of conditions you can imagine can be tested to see how they historically...
Are you asking these questions because you want someone else to crunch the data and figure it out for you? Or are you asking how these things are...
You get to figure that out. No one here will answer that question for you.
UST was a neat algorithmic experiment. It's very odd how seriously people took it.
Here's an example. What is the best case for why you would hold this? I understand "speculation" is a reason but that's not what I'm looking...
The expected value is negative as you said. So why get into one? Just hold cash.
No. And neither will anyone else. Your question is answered using the, "trading can be a full time job" section of my earlier reply. :)
Welcome to the market, where everything correlates. And when things get bad all correlations go to 1. It's tempting to use a Gaussian...
Structured notes can offer "interest" of 30% or more. There are thousands of them, they are frequently callable and downside protection often...
