    Small notes to be answered rarely.

    I’ve looked at the early Usenet archives, and typical posts there resembled this format quite a lot. It’s later that Usenet became a place where you write long considerate posts, and also expect rather quick answers.

    It’s actually interesting to communicate in a rare terse format.

    The reason I don’t use Twitter, BlueSky, anything like that is - I don’t have a scenario of it being useful for me.

      I follow some economist guys, they are always sharing some graphs and chart data that help people to invest efficiently on the local stock market. Some talk to them and I follow the conversations as they are really interesting. But I don’t talk to them.

        Asking as a layman, isn’t it well established that the stock market is extremely efficient and that active trading underperforms (for the same risk level) passively buying the market? Or does this not apply to very local markets?

          Indeed. At least it does here in south America. Actually active trading is discouraged because you are always running after the price change.

          As you say, performance wise, you either go random or buying ETFs for good overall performers indexes, like s&p or the DOW
