Or print money, but that's if they want to give you your money back. What happens if they don't want to, because of a 1917 like revolution or...
Why are treasury bills risk free? It may seem extremely unlikely that you don't get your money back, but that possibility exists. There's...
OK, that was the other possibility, that options with extremely high potential payoffs don't exist in something like the SP500 market now, but...
Even if he's talking about 67000 times what you pay in theta, it still doesn't make sense. To get that much in terms of theta buying something...
No, no, no. Not 67000 percent. Ignore that, that's what the introduction says. In the interview Taleb talks about 67000 TIMES and 750000 TIMES....
I don't know how much they rallied, but I guess that much less than multiplying for anything remotely near to 67000. I agree with Taleb in many...
Maverick74, could you please elaborate more? Are those numbers made up, just an exaggeration, or what was Taleb talking about? Was he talking...
On the interview he talks about 67000 times and 750000 times. The introductions seems to be wrong. I can't even imagine an scenario where an...

How much in percentage do you expect to make per year? I'll try to find a cheaper way to learn, but thanks for your offer.:D
What about investing 1 trillion? How much you can invest without noticeably hurting your expected returns depends on the market you are talking about.
I have been thinking more about this. The problem that I find is that put options on the kind of value stocks that I buy are both expensive and...
How much more you can make over just buying and holding depends on how much you want to invest and how big the market is, that's obvious. As your...
It's literal. I played more like 1.6 million per year actually. I played in many tables simultaneously (8-30 depending on the modality I was...
Thanks for your reply. I'll keep studying and testing ideas to try to become a member of your group 3. I don't think I won't have any problem...
