Thanks to those who voted! The clear favourite is Sunday 7th April! Next steps... for those who are serious about coming on that day please send me a PM here to indicate this. I will then create a private group convo where specific details like time and place will be sorted out.

Bump for the poll. Will determine the day by end of tomorrow.

Poll has been added

Tentative thinking is Good Friday or Easter Monday ….or can do weekend after if that works better for more people. Will put a poll up soon…

Hi all, Following up from the conversations at the last meet up in December, there was talk of having one during Easter. Just want to see if there is interest in having an in-person meet up event sometime during the Easter long weekend or the weekend after (in Sydney area). For those who...

Something like it has happened before https://boredofstudies.org/threads/hsc-legal-studies-exam-evacuated-bomb-threats.392627/

Like of course you could’ve gotten better returns in the past if you made a different decision. No one ever makes that mathematically “optimal” decision in the face of uncertainty at the time. But everyone thinks they’re a genius with hindsight…

It looks like the case for Jane Street from their official website as their “base salary” but I am not sure if it is also true for all similar firms. There are some screenshots floating around of the Optiver website that suggest it is $250k total package (can’t locate it in their official...

Something like ETFs linked to an index (e.g. ASX200) is probably more your thing. It’s an easy to understand “set and forget” type product and generally reliable returns long term. Individual stocks are generally too risky and unpredictable for your appetite. You can also consider bonds (which...

Depends on your own risk appetite. Basically, where is your personal comfort zone (financially) in terms of potential losses you’re prepared to accept in pursuit of higher returns?

It goes to the cost of running the website itself (which is not cheap).

This is not exactly unusual... in the real world there are always people who volunteer their free time to help the community. They are driven purely by a desire to help others and make a difference to people's lives, rather than anything superficial or monetary. In the context of this website...
