    Quick tip: Make the eggs on lower heat for a little longer, they taste much better then, not being so dry.

    It's great to see you making most of your own meals, healthy meals -- vs eating out all the time, like a lot of people do. And staying active. I'm 25+ years into my private banking career, and believe me, those habits pay off.

    What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $200k stock portfolio..

    • @iuordanmatkov261
      @iuordanmatkov261 7 днів тому

      There are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy situation, but such execution is usually carried out by an investment specialist.

      I took charge of my portfolio but faced losses in 2022. Realizing the need for a change, I sought advice from a fiduciary advisor. Through restructuring and diversification with dividend stocks, ETFs, Mutual funds, and REITs, my $1.2M portfolio surged, yielding an annualized gain of 28%.

    I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. It took me 4 years to realize that predicting the market based on charts is futile you never know what will happen. Without a mentor, those 4 years were painful. Now, I follow the market’s direction and keep things simple and disciplined. I now make an average of $35k per week, even though I barely trade myself.

    Good clip for entertainment purposes..some of the top industry analysts can't even place a trade because simply they're not traders they're data collectors and that's what they get paid for..there's actually some ex-hedge fund managers who are retired now and have decided to give something back so they revieled some serious strategies&tools to get some consistent income from the market..

    this was really good bro! just found your channel today, so gonna binge all of your videos! odd lots podcast is great.
    two I would recommend to you are "flirting with models" brief overview: show aims to pull back the curtain and meet the investors who research, design, develop, and manage quantitative investment strategies.
    and lastly, "throwing fits" (my personal favorite) podcast about men's fashion

    Pretty similar career and lifestyle to you! Was wondering if you've considered pursuing the CFA as a means of growth in the buyside. I feel it's pretty good to have if you're gunning to be an HF PM in the future. Also, love listening to Huberman and physiology podcasts as a change of pace from just industry / finance lol.

    • @aaron_yao
      @aaron_yao  7 місяців тому

      I have considered it but currently not pursuing one due to the huge time commitment. Surprisingly, not many people I've encountered throughout my career have a CFA and I think the stats show ~5% have CFAs across the industry. I've heard a lot of good things about Huberman, will definitely have to check him out!

      It's essentially a daily email I send alerting PMs with some important pieces of information regarding the products/instruments they're trading like futures spot dates, rule changes by exchanges, things like that. More to do with operational risks than market risks in this case.

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing *Michael Hugh Terpin* as a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

      I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. To be successful in markets, traders should understand the crossover between asset classes & liquidity flow. *Michael Hugh Terpin Trading* focuses on Multi-asset trading, a single strategy to manage risk, profit, and the code or the actual decision-making across multi-asset classes. His skills set is top notch.

      Rather than attempting to predict future recessions and risking financial losses, a more effective strategy is to build a well-diversified portfolio that can withstand various market conditions. This approach has allowed some individuals to consistently generate substantial returns, averaging around 150K every quarter as reported by Bloomberg..

      I recommend exploring passive index fund investing and expanding your knowledge in this area. Personally, I experienced both successes and challenges when initially seeking a reliable passive income. To navigate this, I sought the guidance of an expert advisor, and by following their advice, and I feel prepared for whatever lies ahead.

      You should use the Sharpe ratio and compare it to the Sharpe of the S&P. Throw all your monthly returns and S&P monthly returns into a spreadsheet, find the mean and standard deviation of each. Then do (mean return - risk free rate) / standard deviation of returns to get the Sharpe ratio

      I think it would help if you have a dual major or minor in finance or economics unless you’re applying for a technology or quant trading role that is more coding focused. It depends though, if you network well or have finance related items on your resume, you could make it work since CS is becoming a more and more sought after skill in finance.
