4/ Note 2 (cont): the alternative to biking is living in mountainous terrain (or working in the messenger service of a skyscraper that has no elevator). Walking just by itself doesn't do it. — PolitiTweet.org

@jjhikes Yes, indeed. Or living in mountainous terrain. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ Note 2: Never said to *learn* to bike at 55. But at 55 must be biking frequently as the most effective way to reach and maintain metabolic health because you can do it many many more hours than other methods [on that, later]. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ Note 1: "learn how to make solid money" --if that's what you want to do. Having a technical specialty (dentistry) is one way to have solid finances. Or being very, very good at something. But I've never seen anyone suddenly learn financial acumen late in life. It's like math. — PolitiTweet.org

LIFE & TIMING + In your teens, learn languages + Betw. 15 and 50, read 18-40 h/week, w/a huuuge filter. Learn to read stuff you retain + In your early 20s, learn maths & how to make solid money (~ impossible later) + Betw. 45 & 145, lift free-weight; 55 & 100, ride bikes — PolitiTweet.org

FINANCE DU JOUR A useway metric to look at the performance of a security is in max drawdown (in log), to account for the vast number of people who bought near the high (or owners who missed a sale there). The SP & Gold are trading ~15% drawdown (in log), whereas BTC in ~120%. https://t.co/E1nVPanIA3 — PolitiTweet.org

2) To remove the ambiguity: + For infinite positive mean, a diversified 1/n strategy dominates. + For infinite *negative* mean [a *one sided* Pareto where the positive is losses] the dominant strategy is to put all in one basket. Sort for similar to Savage-Dubins for finite var. — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeharrisNY Operational Losses/Fraud can be only negative. But language is not standard; they all mean the same thing. — PolitiTweet.org
Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb
@mikeharrisNY We use "indeterminate" when it can be negative and "infinite" when either positive or negative. This is for higher moments in SP. Many securities show the same profile for p=1. https://t.co/CIYZzriGF8 — PolitiTweet.org
