Yes just make sure to inverse every trade they suggest and also make sure to stay out of MU
AlexAmee commented on Would you pay to be able to build your own trading bot (automated system)?    · Posted by u/b5er
AlexAmee · 7 years ago
No because there isn't much to automate.

I takes me about 40 hours to do proper DD on a company. It depends if I know the sector well, if not then even more. The actual trade is just hitting the sell/buy button.

That's once in a month.

I don't think I could ever automate the DD process.

You can come up with good AI and amazing algos but at the end of the day, a doctor knows more about the ill person just by looking at him/her for a few seconds, I feel like it's the same with trading/investing.

If I automate the valuation, I lose the connection to a company and its numbers. Another example would be insider transactions, there is a difference how you evaluate insider trading, it depends on the company and its market cap, the sector, and the management.

I don't even know how I could ever come up with good indicators for those issues.

Now there are also people who use TA, that's your clientele.

AlexAmee commented on Ask HN: Do you have a home office (if you work from home)?    · Posted by u/Tharkun

I've been working from home remotely 100% of the time for five years now. I'd say a dedicated space for the majority of the work is a good plan, although it's also nice to grab the laptop and go out to a cafe, or work on the porch on a good day.

My set up:

300 square foot room, dual 24" monitors on an 4'x6' drafting table + stool for sitting/standing. Desktop, plus battery back-ups (desktop is set up to automatically boot back up if there's power loss), two internet providers for fallback, static IP from the primary ISP to the desktop so I can easily remote in while on the road. Synced laptop so I can just grab it and go with my current work-state already saved.

How do you sync your laptops ? I've tried that a few times but I always missed something.

No but I don't have to be good because 90% of all software is stupid CRUD.
AlexAmee commented on Ask HN: Switch from Web-Dev Freelancer to Mobile Freelancer?    · Posted by u/AlexAmee

1. Mobile work involves a LOT of front-end work. Going from web to mobile is going from the frying pan to the fire (until you master the framework platform on which you work).

2. Which mobile framework do you plan on using? If you’re a Java dev then Java/Android Studio is a no brainer. Also look at Dart/Flutter both for Android and iOS (and Fuchsia...)

3. A free-lance’s greatest virtue is helping the client realize the greatest return on investment. As such mobile-specific web is all the majority of clients need. Use a stack like Ionic and you get styling, a large set of plugins, a good community to assist, and an Ionic app can output mobile web as PWA or hybrid app for those cases where you need more hardware access than PWA allows or the client insists on having an app in the App Store.

So basically the demand for native IOS devs is shrinking based on point 3?

AlexAmee commented on Discuss – AMD stock just spiked up 6% anyone know why?    · Posted by u/MobiusHorizons

Isn't that just gambling, then?
AlexAmee · 8 years ago
I could not find any indicators in their quarterly report. I didn't believe that someone would buy AMD.

I did not just short sell it instantly but I waited for news, once I realised that I was right, I shorted them and also made profit.

I believe in the company and I think that this stock will be much more worth in a few years but those absurd gains were just panic buyers and once they realised that they were wrong they started panic selling. Great week for me
