Official Shiny Things thread—Part III

anyone knows how robust are quant based investment methods? This article seems to suggest they're not so robust afterall

Well, the article is referring to quant trading not investment. They are in the biz of high frequency trading. Think micro seconds, order types to jump queue and other latency issues. Recently, I got introduced to what is called a 'speed bump' to level the playing field but that's unique to the HFT world.

It is an arms race to the bottom. Using more money to buy more advantages to maintain the edge. The alpha is gone once it becomes a 'crowded trade'.

Hope this helps.

Hmm. OK, 2801 HK is just mainland China; 2802 HK is a broader AXJ ETF that has little bits of South Korea and India in it as well. My pick would be one of those two, depending on which you’d prefer.

Again, this is seriously flawed investment viewpoint.
2801 HK and 2802 HK has so little transaction that you will pay a large premium to buy and sell it! Never ever touch 2801 HK and 2802 HK!

If you ever get bored, try point out facts about loop-holes in Shiny Thing's arguments like "if you are good enough you should be PM of hedge fund" but I don't work in investment/finance sector, and she Shiny Things is working in investment/finance sector, so I pointed out that based on her argument, so she Shiny Things is telling all of us here that she is NOT GOOD enough to be "PM of hedge fund" despite working in the investment/finance sector?! Despite pointing out such loop-hole in her argument, she and her brown-tonguing supporters seem to have gone berserked and continue their ceaseless character attack of me from all fronts!

From above, I’m ALSO going to be honest here - Shiny Things also has exactly one mode, pure frothing rage at me in particular (for exposing her argument's loop-holes); and I know this isn’t something to be proud of, but it’s genuinely kind of fun to watch her lose her sh*t (and her followers' sh*t) every time she (and they) posts. The way she (and they) replied You’d think I’d insulted her mother or something, she didn’t let go of that for weeks. She will claim that she cannot predict the market but yet now she is claiming she accurately predicted 3333 HK like a prophet! Very funny and hilarious indeed! LOL!

Chris, I don’t know how to break this to you, but:
A) I’m a guy;
B) I’m not going to date you.

Shiny Things,

A) You told us that you are a "gay" previously (see below your post) and since your nick is "Shiny Things" and "Shiny Things" are well liked by women, so I assume that you are the feminine gay and so using "she" and "her" seems appropriate to me? Correct me if I am wrong.

B) Sorry to tell you that I am straight, so NO dating with gay!

In addition, homosexuality is banned in Singapore:

Singapore gay sex ban: Court rejects appeals to overturn law
Published 30 March 2020
A bid to overturn a law that criminalises gay sex in Singapore has been dismissed by a court, dealing a blow to the city state’s LGBT movement.

It is good to see that homosexuality is banned in many countries because this is against human nature and the rationale as to why there are such laws against homosexuality is because historically only animals (not humans) engage in homosexuality:

He also says he's an active currency trader and has enough time to make long/short equity punts. I don't think he's telling the truth about any of it.

Don't give him oxygen; just report him and move on. These jackasses eventually get bored and go back to EDMW eventually, if they don't get themselves banned first.

Three axes here, yikes.

Anyway.
* FSMOne is pretty good for buy-and-hold of local stocks, whether you're small or large.
* For active trading of local stocks: IDK. Maybe ask over in SSI.
* For buy-and-hold of global stocks: Stanchart below $100k, IBKR if you're over $100k.
* For active trading of global stocks: IBKR's not necessarily the cheapest, but their smart-routing makes them the best.

Erm. Not sure where you're getting those numbers from. Looking at the Bloomy I see VUSD actually yielding a bit more than 0.85 * VOO. There could be any number of reasons, though.

I'm gay, so the answer is "zero". Also: don't be a creep.

你说足了嗎？请您適可而止。

Chris you have clearly crossed the line. You're a sad sad person

 

[chrisloh65]

Don't understand where I have clearly crossed the line. I am just telling facts!

If you disagree with the Singapore Government for criminalizing homosexuality and criminalizing being gay, please go argue with the Singapore Government and tell them they have clearly crossed the line and sue the Singapore Government!

Firstly what thread are you at now?

Secondly what does ST sexual orientation as to do with anything as far as this thread is concerned?

Just because you couldn't win an argument, you had to resort to such personal attack is despicable.

My post is in response to Shiny Things' reply to my post below:

Chris, I don’t know how to break this to you, but:
A) I’m a guy;
B) I’m not going to date you.

So, let me ask you: What Shiny Things' reply (in above post) to my post got to do with anything as far as this thread is concerned?
On the other hand, the original post I made is about pointing out loop-holes of Shiny Things' arguments on investment!

Just because you are biased and you want to brown-tongue Shiny Things and Just because you couldn't win an argument, you had to resort to such personal attack is despicable.

 

[CWL84]

I've reported chrisloh and I strongly encourage others to do the same as well. His repulsive behaviour and toxic posts are not welcome here.

 

[chrisloh65]

Just because you strongly disagreed with Singapore Government for criminalizing homosexuality and gay and you want to report me for raising this facts?

Why you don't dare to go challenge the Singapore Government and go sue them?

It is a fact that my original post is about pointing out loop-holes in Shiny Things' arguments on investment but Shiny Things replied with those nonsense and now all these brown-tonguing supporters of Shiny Things are pointing fingers at me instead of him for nonsense post? Clearly this is biased and brown-tonguing in action!

@ Basic Strategy, thanks for your input.

for the Nikko one, its 3.2% vs ICBC CSOP FTSE Chinese Government Bond (2.98), is there any critical differences ?

Have. 2.98 is made up of 1 type CN government bond. 3.2 made up of 4 types but all GLCs.

IMO, principal protect for now. Don't take unnecessary risk until the 'fog' clears.

 

[chrisloh65]

But both do not provide principal protection, so what do you mean?

to Chrisloh65

even if ST is into same-sex love, that's really his choice and none of our concern.

the only consistent from you is being an angry bird.

it's hilarious.

and you are successful with money but an angry bird?

that's tragic in it's own way.

The problem is, I have to pay attn to him in order to report him ...
and I'd prefer to give him the amount of attention that he deserves, ie absolutely none at all ...

Again, this is seriously flawed investment viewpoint.
2801 HK and 2802 HK has so little transaction that you will pay a large premium to buy and sell it! Never ever touch 2801 HK and 2802 HK!

Can I ask what you would recommend then? Thanks.

 

[kram62]

He never recommends anything. His only capability is to throw anger at others and criticise without ever providing a better solution.

Don't waste your time answering him. Best choice is to add him to ignore list.

 

[chrisloh65]

You should be looking at China ETFs that is liquidly traded, like 2822 HK and 2828 HK, where daily transacted volumes is easily 5 Millions units or more and hence the bid-ask spread is very very small.

You can do yourself a favor by checking out the transacted volumes of 2801 and 2802 and you will know how little daily transactions there are (e.g. today only 63,000 and 4,000 units are transacted respectively) and how large the bid-ask spread of these are!

And it will do you well to ignore all those losers and brown-tonguers and anti-Chinese people who has nothing good to say about others who want to invest in China stocks!

Can I ask what you would recommend then? Thanks.

ibkr is one of their investors to break into china market i think, does not imply automatically it is as good as ibkr though
