I noticed everyone applauding the knowledge that you bring to every video but are they all missing how hilarious you are. The dry humor is a big part of why I watch your stuff. Don’t ever stop.
"Of course today we have the counterexample of George Soros, who wanted to become a philosopher but instead become rich. Sometimes things don't work out for you" this is the type of failure that I want in my life"
Been on youtube for over 10 years , this is probably my first comment ever. Gotta thank you for every single video you upload , very informative and the humor inbetween makes me laugh everytime. Keep up the amazing work !
It is just incredible to me that concepts of Trend Following and Mean Reversion are so ancient.
So true. Creativity is the key to find good trading ideas. I heard about one student who managed to "borrow" a Bloomberg Terminal in a library and started to analyse the movements of all oil-ships that was moving from one place to another. He managed to see a pattern of the movements with the Crude Oil-price and started to trade his own savings with CFD's on Crude Oil. He sat in this library day in and day out as soon as the computer was available. He became a millionaire after a few months and got himself his own Bloomberg Terminal later on. Pure creativity there!
I'm having a proper binge since finding Patrick. Great videos!
Your explanation on quant trading and why it appealed to you at the beginning of the video really resonated with me. You have very strong articulation skills; I appreciate the video.
That was top class. Could have listened to hours of those fascinating tidbits of financial history. The Japanese Rice "Futures" blew my mind.
Patrick really showing us he is a man of culture by showing he reads Feynman on the side.
You spill your wisdom on us, dear Patrick!
No 1:Don't only hope on government for income, No 2: As an individual look for different self income not only waiting on monthly wages No 3: Always save the little you can and think of what to do with it when it becomes good for capital It's 100% Good to have different way to gain income government has failed us so let's try to survive
As much as I want for you to make more videos, I’m glad you don’t destroy your channel with a constant barrage of new ones.
Ser history of trading is needed more ; please more ser
I counted the number of words spoken in 15 minutes on CNBC. The more words spoken the likelier we were at a top and vise versa. I also set up a decibel meter. The louder the show the more likely a top was in place. I also converted candle stick charts into musical notes and had a concert pianist "Play the Dow Jones" . Very effective for finding tops and bottoms. That's what creative thinking s all about.
The history of quant is very fascinating to me. Thank you for making this!
great history lesson on quants, I haven't seen a deeper knowledge on yt. keep up the great work , love the jokes, puns, and jabs as well.
This is amazing. I can’t believe all this goes back so far!
Love your sense of humor... great wit helps a lot in making such deep research even more memorable, thanks!
Thank you for posting this. I’m an undergrad student majoring in CS/mathematics with a significant interest in the finance world, so this is the exact explanation and dive into quant traders I was looking for. Thank you
