So you were just greedy. Should have, could have, would have.

Beautiful view and nice speech... what's not to like.

Also worked as an engineer at Lockheed out of college for a year, got very uninspired but went the opposite way and did Peace Corps in South America (sadly cut short by covid) and then pivoted to tech Curious, where did you go to undergrad? Clearly graduate school at Penn helped but what about your bachelors Interesting insights, thanks for sharing. I think I'm mostly aligned with your philosophies

.

How exactly did you get into options trading? I know you mentioned being an engineer at a defense contractor before, but did you have to go back to school and get like an advanced degree in finance/stats? Curious how this world works, you don't hear a lot about it

human beings aren't meant to be sitting in cubicles staring at a small screen trying to figure out what stocks to buy and sell either. we also haven't flown for the majority of human history. times are always changing. also a lot of people may have the impulse to cheat but they choose not to. does that mean they're forcing themselves to be someone they are not? I like to think that we form our identities based on how we act

I wonder how you invest now… are you a munger now? Lmao

Luckily I was born into a multi-millionaire family so money will never be a problem for me. Just finished college and am working in the government and have a very flexible work schedule. This gives me time to pursue my passions, and work on my mind and body. Still have no idea what I want to do professionally in life, but I’m pretty happy right now. I also have 400k in the market and that should grow roughly 10% a year, so I feel quite secure for now.

When they tell you that "oh we're not here for money", say, "oh... sorry, I thought this was a job"

This is a very Asian way to describe happiness.

Thanks for the great video! If you had to start over with $500, how would you make it asap?

I agree. Marriage is tough, but that doesn’t mean it can’t last, or that it’s for everyone. Some people are completely happy on their own, and would rather be.

"That guy who knew" was Nancy Pelosi.

Good editing. It keeps the most interesting things in and boring/no action parts out.

I’m an American white man that’s been called by many a catch myself. I’ve been with white women and Asian women all over the world. A woman looks at a man as a security blanket. Asian women are all about status and money. The divorce rate in the West is actually over 60%. No reason for anybody to get married anymore, especially in the US and in the West. I’d rather be single and have fun with a beautiful woman every now and then with no possibility or a divorce.

I feel like theirs so much information I am unaware of

We work hard to save , invest and accumulate more and more and more just to worry about keeping it once we have it. This guy is right less is more peaceful. But we do get sucked into worldly life in America. What we call poor living is what other countries would call very comfortable spoiled life. We want bigger, more and we are never satisfied. Well I have a 2008 paid off truck, a rancher paid off home, enough money to pay all my monthly bills, no cable channels just internet, exercise equipment in my basement, a vegetable garden, a/c in the summer heat in the winter Jesus in my life. And I’m happy, content peaceful in my mind. I don’t drink or smoke don’t need it. I feel I have an abundant life in my heart and mind. I’m so grateful.

Sounds like Nancy Pelosi's Husband

so you do nothing an get money for it? damn.

Meanwhile I’m in Wast Point working for $18.50/hr and trying to get my gf’s 2011 Nissan Cube towed back to her apartment. My life is a joke.

I need him and Bossman DLow to have a conversation

Damn bro, that’s crazy. Respect. Thank you for sharing interesting stories.

Love your videos and your points in this video too, but homo sapiens evolved only 300k years ago. Not a million.

$4 M in cash is great. Why are you drawing on your money. You can 4-5% a year on. 4M. That’s 200k a year. That’s great living in a lot states.

I agree

You got some good points 🤔

Youre smart enough to back up your cope, respect.

Not all relationships are like this. And if you take everything at prima facie you’re reinforcing the problems of our consumerist culture. No doubt this behaviour is far more common in high wealth people and especially in new money. You can make choices.

Are you sure it’s not masochism? Intentionally living out of your car while having the means for shelter seems extreme. By this logic then you should sleep on the sidewalk to get even higher highs?

Great, funny story. On my 3rd week of trading options from home. Love your videos mate. Keep safe out there and keep enjoying life!

this is what being a straight asian male who does math/cs becomes

Short stack has to be open to risk.

really nice talking points in the video and enjoyed the casual delivery. I do think the quant field has pierced through to the masses in this day but I think the big asterisk that you didn't touch on is how difficult it is to break into the field, which keeps most people out. respect for making it sound casual but I can obviously sense that you worked hard for it and are ahead of what most have accomplished. to me though, it still seems a bit too tied to performance, and just a bit too high stakes, which kind of explains to me the situation you're presenting yourself in in the video, which isn't a bad place to be in at all, haha. but basically, I mean to say that there is a middle ground within tech at least, where you can be an average* joe schmoe at a 'top' company, stay afloat, experience some natural career progression by one means or another, and basically earn a very very good living doing very little. it's a bit less combustive and more disconnected, but I think a lot of folks find comfort in that. another interesting concept is about diminishing returns of salary increases because of increased taxes and just considering the marginal utility of earning more, when you're talking about the difference between like, 400k vs 500k. many in that position just kind of make up large dollar items to spend it towards, which I've seen myself. but anyways, really jealous that you had a good run in quant, I think that's a huge accomplishment and many fall short before they can reach a sane stopping point.

Bro knew what he was doing with thumbnail

I'm high as fuck

I understand that many strategies such as high frequency trading and market making are games for institutional quants, but I am currently on a path to study python, employ models such as hidden markov models, and develop my own strategy to exploit a market inefficiency. Do you have any advice on areas to study or areas of math that could be useful (linear algebra etc)? I’m not interested in hearing that this is a futile endeavor. Let me waste my time. I’m really just interested in a true quant’s advice on important areas of study!!!! Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I love these behind the scenes true stories😅

Not a proprietary trader but rather a class traitor!

I stumbled across your channel and it has been very hard to stay away. I feel as if you articulate a lot of what goes on inside my head. From the philosophies, to the way that you explain them (quantify them). However, I constantly question whether this component of me is what should be the sole driver of my decisions. In other words, I could completely see myself going down a similar path as you and one day detaching from “The Matrix”. The fear that I have is, by always living my life through this analytical and logical framework, will I feel like I haven’t lived my life to the fullest? This has been a philosophical battle I have been having with myself, especially as of recently.

bro is built like mewtwo

I'm captivated by your videos. You have an interesting perspective on life.

More of these

Subscribed after watching this video, i think this is something that were all conscious of, but its refreshing to see it explicitly laid out. My only two cents to that equation is that each attribute in the formula has a threshold to meet for the lower coef. attribute to even matter. For example if your looks are a 1, even girls who are into to smart guys will not care that you are a genius. But the ones you laid out are simpler and easier to communciate😂

Maybe I'm just dense, but based on his clue about the bank is it GS?

The way you explained it - you shouldn’t beat yourself up too much. You were early in your career, you were unsure. It happens

hahah damn, its all rigged for sure. the prices seem random but actually controlled by the people who have the money and power

“so this is the key to becoming a high value male… uh ignore my goku drawing here”

Spot on with the herd being 3X leveraged. I learned this a few years ago and realized to hedge different areas of risk in my life (Career, Business, Family, etc.)
