Primarily using technical analysis of historical prices (which is essentially evaluating patterns in charts) as apposed to valuation fundamentals. You can day trade either way.I kind of thought what they were doing was pretty similar. Are you referring to analytics in any way?
Highlighted part QFT.RE: Day trading - guys spend alot of time to study blackjack/poker/craps/horse racing and become professional gamblers in Vegas. They play all the time. They study their game of choice. Some of them make good money. It is still a job that factors in random luck. (For me, no thanks.)
To me, that's functionally the same as day trading. To be any good at it, it needs to be your job, not a hobby. If that's what people want to do, great.
RE: France - yeah, Europe is getting hit relatively hard again, by their standards. Vaccinations aren't rolling out as quickly as here (I think). Perhaps more importantly, their tolerance for infections/deaths is lower than ours. (No value judgement, just an observation.) Even Canada, which has lower numbers even proportionately, appears to be locking down tighter than we are.

But I don't care about France (Sorry Sylvan, nothing personal). France has their own people to worry about. I care about the policies here that affect me.
So, first, I absolutely agree with that. Our policies should reflect efforts to solve the problems we face, first and foremost. (On a sidenote, we are the most generous country in the world - probably in history - but part of the reason for that is that we can afford to be.)It not like we don't have plenty of problems to deal with here at home.

Our testing per 1M is 1223334, so that would mean they were at 122333 per 1M testsSo, first, I absolutely agree with that.

But, it can be useful to look abroad for signs of trouble. Sure, Europe is having problems, but Brazil is reporting crazy numbers. Almost 4k dead yesterday. And that's just what they know of. The poor parts of Brazil have almost no meaningful infrastructure. People die in favelas and, other than the immediate family, no one knows or cares.
Per 1M in population, They've done 1/10th of the testing as we have, have identified 2/3 the number of cases that we have, and suffered 90% the number of our deaths. But I don't believe they are even as accurate as we are in deaths (for whatever that is worth).
Their political system isn't exactly stable, either.
So, if there was a significant country that I would think was greatest at risk from real tumult from this pandemic, it would be Brazil at this point.
Our testing per 1M is 1223334, so that would mean they were at 122333 per 1M tests
Our cases per 1M are at 94358, so that would put them at 62905 per 1M
Our deaths are at 1711 per 1M, so they would be at 1540 per 1M
That makes their CFR 1540/62905 = 0.0245 or 2.45%
And their positivity rate would be 62905/122333 = 0.514 or 51.4%
Germany, which used to be held forth as an example of 'getting it right' has a CFR of 2.71% and a positivity rate of 5.66%
So Brazil has a better CFR than a 1st world country, and arguably they are an order of magnitude closer to herd immunity. I'm not sure they are the horror show that is being made out to be
Yup. She can **** all the way off!!!Well now, isn't she a little b****.
Time is running out.....
