What does your portfolio look like? And, how do you make your trading decisions?

I run an intermediate-term cross-sectional momentum strategy that's double-sorted on "12 - 1 months momentum" and information discreteness. It's an equal-weighted 20 stock portfolio. See:

I rebalance it monthly and get the data using an API, but I make the trades myself.

How come incest makes retard babies? It makes no sense. It encourages leaving your home and family to find pussy elsewhere which is dangerous and leads to conflict. Why didn't evolution let me breed with my hot sister?

Fluvoxamine was just looked at in a several month long study involving almost 2k patients. Seems to reduce the likelihood of hospitalization by 30% and maybe as much as 50%. Same organization showed that Ivermectin has little to no effect. This is what I will be taking if I get covid.

Double standard of "long term effects"

No.13555112 ViewReplyOriginalReport
This is a serious question, I'm wondering why it is that the "possible unknown long term effects" of covid were so drastically up-played for all of 2020 while today the "possible unknown long term effects" of the covid vaccines are so drastically downplayed and considered a conspiracy theory.

Back in mid-to-late 2020 when we were finally getting a statistical picture of who was really being affected by covid, the real death rates among different age groups and health groups, etc, people started pointing out that it's not really all that dangerous for most healthy, young individuals and were using it to argue that we should scale back quarantine measures. The response to that was, "But we don't know the long-term effects! It's a new virus, we don't know what will happen to people who survive these infections months, years, or decades down the line, so we can't afford to let anyone get infected if they can avoid it." Okay, sure, that makes sense. I accepted that reasoning.

Now, today, we have this new type of vaccine that has undergone relatively little active testing and does not have the kind of long-term follow-up studies that most vaccines have to go through before their general approval and release. So I think back to what people said about the possible long-term effects of covid, and point out that we don't know the long-term effects of this type of vaccine (as well as plenty of other people are pointing this out). But the response to that seems to be that there is no need to worry about long-term effects of drugs or vaccines, what could possibly happen, it's stupid to entertain these ideas, you're just an anti-science conspiracy nut.

So what fucking gives? Why the double standard? Do people legitimately just not think that brand new pharmaceutical techniques could be potentially dangerous?

Smth changes in your spit when you think

Few days ago received email from cognitive science department of our university for a paid experiment, 30$ for 2 hours. Yeah, why not, I signed up and received email to arrive to their lab at given time. So, yesterday evening I and 14 other students get there. We were greeted by a phd student conducting this research who explained us what we need to do.
>we are given series of patterns and we need to find the last pattern of the sequence (similar to pattern recognition iq test)
>except we are asked to reply in random
>we have 30 second timer and can't move to the next question until 30 seconds passes
>Every 10 minutes or so we are asked to spit in a tube
>Can't drink anything during experiment
Except timer didn't work. Apparently there was a problem with software. When we answer and click next, instead of waiting till the end of 30 seconds, it moved to the next question straight away. So, we were asked to click next only after timer reaches 0. So, anyway... We start doing this and it's super boring. After clicking random answers for several questions I start to look into problems and start to solve them and answer correct answers. Impossible to sit in front of this problems for 30 seconds and do nothing. I look around and it's clear everybody is solving problems. Meanwhile, somebody clicked next before timer ended and researcher got pissed and yelled at them. This happened several times and I'm pissed(as everybody else). I start to think how I can sabotage this whole thing. At one hour mark we had a 5 minute break and I share my plan with everybody. We continue really solving problems in our head, but we answer in random, using seconds hand of our watch divided in 5 second sections. For example if it shows 43 answer is C(3). If it shows 27 answer is B(7-5=2). Everybody agrees and we proceed the second part and hopefully they did according to my plan. In the end we got our 30$, so whatever.
