No (or at least, incredibly slim chances).

Maybe.
It depends on how much domain knowledge and skill you bring from both programming and finance, and also where you set your expectations and what you truly hope to get out of it.
If you have a strong background in programming and at least some understanding of corporate finance and/or different trading markets, or the opposite, or even strong backgrounds in both, then I'd say... Why not give it a try?
The only thing is that, as others have mentioned in this thread already, you will pretty much be playing a game with casino-level odds, bringing with you only a very slight advantage over the average Joe/Jane without fancy algorithms to guide them.
You will be competing against enormous Wall Street firms with millions of dollars worth of computing power, and entire teams of PhD's in quantitative trading, economics, computer science, etc.
All that being said, I'm still working on developing some mini-projects in this area, but they are super low priority for me because I already know my odds of any bank breaking dividends are incredibly slim. For me, it's an educational experiment more than anything.
Even once you've selected a few specific metrics to guide your decision making (and there are A LOT to choose from), you will ultimately have to rely on intuition in the end for the final decision.
Try it if you want, but just don't expect to get bougie rich off of it.
The only way to do that is either start with millions of dollars, insider trading, or getting really really lucky. -

This study is huge for a lot of reasons, but it's important not to get lost in some specific parameters of the study.
I saw this study mentioned recently (maybe earlier today? Not 100% sure) on Reddit, and it immediately caught my eye. I bookmarked it, and haven't scrutinized the entire article yet, but the abstract definitely has some far reaching implications.
BUT, this is not about any particular political side being more biased than the other. This phenomenon that they found does have major implications, but it's way wider in scope than just one particular political party.
The exact same effect would occur if a famous anti-vaxxer started touting pro-vaccination views, or a flat earther doing the same with other flat earthers, etc.
Cognitive bias is not particularly unique to any particular group (political affiliations included). -

2019-07-23 at 12:14 AM UTC in ROSHAMBO ON METHADONE AGAIN !!!!!!
Originally posted by Ghost Imagine giving someone that never touched a needle or seen heroin in their life methadone treatment lol, He is just a cuck for doctors so they can sell more drugs to afford that nice new sports car.
Nobody gives a shit about helping this sick individual or wants to make their life better. He is just an example of someone that fell through all the cracks. His parents, the system and anyone that could possibly help him have failed and now he is beyond fucked
All of this.
But also, a lot of people, even seasoned heroin users, don't realize just how addictive methadone is.
I literally had to use heroin to taper off of methadone.
Straight irony right there. -
