I was a little intrigued recently when I came across the picture below on Facebook depicting a bare knuckle prize fight that took place in 1877. What intrigued me was that the punch being delivered looks a lot more like a punch that we’d find in Karate/Taekwondo/some styles of Kung Fu, than it does a modern boxing punch! The back is straight, head up, legs are practically identical to our forward stance, hips turned square on and shoulder not turned in as much as a modern boxers. Even the non-punching hand is back on the hip (hikite) like a Karate/TKD punch.
Here is the description that came with it!
“Here’s a historical peek into just how vicious even a “cordial” scuffle could be. The following is from an account of a bit of Pugilism staged in Dodge City in 1877.
That was round 42 if you’ll recall. The gritty Red Bird from the South, gritted his broken jaw and waded back in.
He lasted for 23 more rounds finally squealing in the 65th round.
Again, this was a sanctioned, civilized match at the time. What was going on out of the mainstream is far far wilder“.
A tad more brutal than today’s boxing I’d say! But although a “civilised match” (sport), on many levels it would be close to real world street fighting.
At around the same as this fight took place and across “the pond” (the Atlantic Ocean in case you’re not familiar with that nickname) we Brits being even more civilised introduced the Queensbury Rules.
“Perhaps the most important of these new rules required pugilists to don gloves. The wearing of gloves drastically changed the nature of the sport. The bare knuckled fisticuffer stood upright, leaned back slightly, and held his arms with forearms facing outward. The gloved boxer leans forward and protects his face with his gloves. While gloves made the sport less brutal in some ways, they made boxing more dangerous and deadly by allowing fighters to punch with far greater strength (the bare knuckled boxer had to mitigate the impact of his blows for fear of winding up with a broken hand). The bones of one’s head are harder than those in the hand; thus, gloves helped the hitter and hurt the hittee”.
So the bare knuckle fighter (which more closely resembles a real fight) would be more upright with arms facing outward, which is more like traditional Karate, Taekwondo and Kung Fu! I have written about the differences in sport/self protection guards before, but it is interesting to explore this subject in a bit more depth!
Interestingly, whereas in the first picture shows the attacker using almost a text book martial arts forward stance, in this picture (and the one immediately above) where both of them are squaring off to each other, they are both in almost text book back stance. Check it out, heels almost in line, feet almost like a capital letter “L”, back leg more deeply bent than the front leg and as discussed above the arms are more forward than the modern boxers.
Furthermore, the hands are held one in front of the other, rather than on either side as modern boxers do. If they opened their hands, it would look a lot like the Wing Chun guard where the hands are kept on the centre line. With the fist closed though, it also looks a little like Karate’s Wedge Block (Kakiwake Uke) as in Heian/Pinan Yondan!
This is usually explained as grabbing the opponents head and pulling down onto the rising knee. However, I have had some doubts about this application as it can take a lot strength to pull down the head of a resisting opponent. I don’t think it would be easy either for the average person to lift another of the ground as shown in the picture above.
However, imagine if the attacker in the picture above (guy on left) were to follow up from this position with a knee attack whilst bringing arms down, (as in the kata), thus dropping his opponent’s groin onto his own rising knee! Using this movement as a strike or a grab (whether it lifts the opponent of the ground or not) is likely to cause a flinch reaction where they would lean back away from the attack. This leaning back leaves them vulnerable to a rising knee in the next movement of the kata which should make it relatively easy to deliver to the groin. I would respectfully suggest that this is far easier than trying to pull down the head of a resisting opponent which is the usual explanation.
was a very effective form of self defence as very few rules separated it from the real thing.
has more in common with the traditional Eastern martial arts then it does with modern Western boxing.

Lawyer Gadeir Abbas said a section of the order affecting how waivers are granted for visa applicants remains in force.
ALEXANDRIA: A judge is weighing a request from a Muslim civil rights group for an even broader injunction against President Donald Trump's proposed travel ban than what is already in place.
Federal judges in Hawaii and Maryland have issued orders that already block the vast majority of Trump's revised ban, which would restrict immigration from refugees and from six majority-Muslim countries. At a hearing today in Alexandria, lawyers for the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked a judge to issue an injunction blocking the entire executive order.
Lawyer Gadeir Abbas said a section of the order affecting how waivers are granted for visa applicants remains in force. Acting Assistant Attorney General Chad Readler said the remaining provisions of the travel ban have no practical effect on how the government issues visas.

I waited until the Fed announced their hike rate yesterday before writing this outlook as, at least in the short-term, investors were going to buy madly if there was no increase and run if there was. Well it was a 100-yard dash as investors realized that the Fed is not as dovish as many had hoped. Even though global growth seems to be slowing the U.S. continues to chug along-- at least for now. Also it could have been professional suicide had Chairman Powell been seen to succumbing to President Trump’s interfering tweets, urging the Fed chairman not to raise rates. Markets around the world are struggling and so far a Santa Clause rally remains a hope, not a reality, with time running out. We think this is a good time to have an extra reserve of cash. We have no desire to time the market (nobody does that successfully and consistently, lots of one hit wonders) but feel it prudent to be carrying cash both as protection as well as for ammunition when markets stabilize and valuations become too enticing to ignore.
Norman Levine of Portfolio Management Corp shares his top picks: American Financial Group, Nutrien and Uni-Select.
We have owned this stock for over 15 years and continue to buy it for new clients. American Financial Group is an exceedingly well run and capitalized specialty property casualty insurer in the U.S. It operates in highly profitable niche markets such as workers compensation, lawyer liability and transportation equipment. Unlike most insurance companies it is highly profitable (with a combined ratio of 95.7 per cent) in its core personal and commercial (P&C) businesses as well as with its investments. It’s P&C insurance subsidiary Great American Insurance Group is one of only five companies rated A or better by A.M. Best for over 100 years. The Lindner family owns 24 per cent of the company. While the current yield is only 1.6 per cent, American Financial Group has increased its dividend every year for the past 13 years and has a history of paying special dividends. In November it paid a special dividend of $1.50 in addition to its regular quarterly $0.40 payment.
Nutrien is the merged entity of the former Agrium and PotashCorp. It is a diversified fertilizer and agricultural retail company with around two-thirds of earnings from fertilizer production and the rest derived from retail farm centres. We like the outlook for potash where supply and demand is starting to get out of balance and prices are increasing, as well as urea ammonia where supply appears to be inadequate for the next few years. Bad weather in the U.S. Midwest and southern states limited the fall application window as did a late harvest. This should hurt Q4 ammonia volume so earnings will be lighter than previously expected, but this volume should be made up in the spring. Nutrien has a fabulous balance sheet which gives the company lots of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures, share buybacks and dividend increases. The stock currently yields 2.3 per cent.
Uni-Select is a wholesale distributor of automotive aftermarket parts and paints. It has leading market positions in its three key markets: Canadian aftermarket auto parts, U.K. aftermarket auto parts and U.S. collision paint repair. The stock has been a poor performer since we purchased it 10 months ago as it has had multiple earnings misses despite the optimism exhibited by its CEO. In September Uni-Select announced that its CEO was departing, that it is reducing its earnings guidance for the remainder of the year and that it had hired investment bankers to do a strategic review of the company. We believe the result of that review will be the sale of one of its divisions, FinishMaster, its auto paint shop division. We think Uni-Select has lots of hidden value and this strategic review will unlock some of it. Interestingly enough despite lowering guidance and the CEO departing, the stock has significantly outperformed the market since the announcement, signaling the market expects a higher future valuation. This company has a 1.9 per cent yield and due to the debt it incurred (which it hopes to repay quickly) in its U.K. acquisition, this stock is not suitable for very conservative investors.

The Calvin Institute of Christian Worship (CICW) announced recently 44 Vital Worship Grant awards for their 2018-2019 Vital Worship Grants Program. Alliance for Greater Works was one of the 44 projects awarded.
“We are deeply grateful to partner with Calvin Institute to build the capacity of African-American churches in trauma-informed care,” says Sherrye Willis, Alliance for Greater Works president.
The grant projects have a variety of emphases—visual arts, music, intergenerational relationships, contemplation, movement, and more—but have as a common purpose a desire to both deepen people’s understanding of worship and strengthen practices of public worship and faith formation. Alliance for Greater Works will build the capacity of the ten African-American Faith-Based Mental Health in trauma-informed care.
This year’s recipients include 27 congregations, one high school, six colleges and universities, one seminary, and nine other groups, including two community organizations, three denominational organizations, a retreat center, and a retirement community. They also represent 17 different Christian denominations, 25 states and two Canadian provinces. Notable this year are a number of collaborative projects between two or more congregations.
Each grant (ranging from $6,000 to $18,000) will fund a year-long project beginning in June that promotes vital worship and faith formation. Alliance for Greater Works was awarded $18,000. John Witvliet, director of the CICW, believes that the 2018 projects will help the Worship Institute in its goals to enhance the scholarly study of Christian worship and the renewal of worshiping communities across North America and beyond.
Sherrye Willis, Alliance for Greater Works’ president, and Vicky Coffee of the Hogg Foundation were two of the 44 grant project directors to recently gather on Calvin’s campus in Grand Rapids, MI to dialogue not only with CICW staff, but also with the recipients of the 2017 grants.
“The grants event is always an energizing time of conversation and sharing stories,” said Smith. “Every year, some attendees are inspired to write their own proposals for new grant projects. We look forward to receiving those applications for the next round of grants” (due January, 10, 2019).

In the mid-nineteenth century, when public health was establishing itself as a scientific field, the great physician-scientist Rudolph Virchow wrote, “Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing more than medicine on a larger scale.” With this statement, Virchow highlighted the interplay between human health and society.
A century and a half later, the looping effect—that is, the fundamental relationship between society and health, between culture and biology—remains inadequately addressed. The difficulty lies in what Bruno Latour refers to as the modern cut of the Gordian Knot tying the different elements that make up the world; this cut drove the separation of science and knowledge from politics and power. Hence, science became responsible for representing nature, and law for representing citizens. Accordingly, medicine and law grew apart as the modern state’s organizational structure became progressively bureaucratized and its intervention increasingly sectoral. Yet there have been significant attempts to combine medicine and legal theory. These include the notion that non-discriminatory access to health is fundamental to the right to the highest attainable standard of health, the social determinants of health, and civic participation in public health strategies.
I welcome this special section on neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) and human rights. It comes at a critical moment, soon after the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were agreed on by 193 United Nations member states in 2015. I would like to highlight SDG 3.3, which calls for ending NTDs by 2030. But I also wish to draw attention to SDG 17, which calls for strengthening global multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable development. Goal 17 reminds us of the interrelatedness among many of the SDGs and the fact that multisectoral coordination and action will be required to reach every one of them. Thus, goal 3.3 is closely linked to the SDGs on eliminating poverty and hunger, realizing health and well-being, and achieving quality education, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, and sustainable cities and communities.
This special section is also timely because it coincides with United Nations Resolution 35/9, issued in 2017, which calls for the elimination of leprosy-related discrimination. As Special Rapporteur for the elimination of discrimination against persons affected by leprosy and their family members, I accepted this challenge on November 1, 2017.
The establishment of this mandate acknowledges the fact that diseases are not reducible to isolated biomedical categories. Indeed, some diseases are so strongly framed by socioeconomic and cultural factors that enforcement of the right to health, however critical it may be, is inadequate to restore and ensure full citizenship to affected persons. Some diseases, particularly those that affect populations subjected to structural violence, are complex biosocial phenomena that require a rights-based approach. Such an approach recognizes that all human rights are inalienable, indivisible, interdependent, and of equal hierarchy, and that they must be fulfilled on a non-discriminatory basis in agreement with the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other human rights instruments.
As many persons affected by leprosy have noted, curing infection is not the same as healing. For the majority of affected women and men, healing is dependent not only on access to medical treatment and bacteriological cure but also on the quality of care, rehabilitation, and social inclusion and participation. For persons affected by leprosy, the Gordian Knot between biology, society, culture, and history is vividly tied, and so are their civil, political, social, economic, and cultural rights.
As Special Rapporteur, I welcome all NTDs into this position’s mandate. Despite the structural invisibility of leprosy—which nourishes its social representation as a disease of the past—leprosy is probably one of the most well-known NTDs due to its history. Many of the factors that systematically result in negative outcomes for persons affected by leprosy are also active for other NTDs. Leprosy exemplifies the historically thick barriers to health that also exist for other NTDs, such as widespread stigma and institutionalized and multilayered discrimination. However, stigma and discriminatory laws, jurisprudence, and public policies (in the case of leprosy, there are still discriminatory laws in more than 20 countries, covering the topics of segregation, immigration, marriage, voting rights, public transportation, employment, and housing) are not the only reasons for the exclusion of persons affected by leprosy. These persons also face discrimination in the administration of public goods and services—and even when their rights are recognized, they are not effectively implemented. Access to rights, including the right to health, depends on extra-institutional factors, such as education, inclusion in the formal work market, gender equity, and racial non-discrimination. Given the generalized lack of material equality and prevalent conditions of vulnerability faced by persons affected by leprosy and other NTDs, the gap between the laws on the books and the laws in action is massive, with a correspondingly large impact on these persons’ health and well-being.
Taking further the example of leprosy to address NTDs from a human rights perspective, I would like to draw attention to the insufficiency of a medicalized and pharmaceuticalized approach to leprosy. While the groundbreaking role of multidrug therapy cannot be dismissed—there has been an impressive decrease in the number of cases since multidrug therapy’s introduction three decades ago (from over 5 million cases in the mid-1980s to fewer than 200,000 cases at the end of 2016), as well as improvements in the lives of persons affected by leprosy and in the public’s image of the disease—there is still (1) considerable incidence and ongoing transmission, (2) a high proportion of late diagnoses, (3) under-notification of the disease by physicians and governments, (4) the emergence of new challenges, such as the increase in foreign-born cases in countries that no longer have expertise in diagnosing and treating leprosy, resulting in increased transmission, and (5) persistent stigma and discrimination.
Of the 214,783 new cases reported to the World Health Organization in 2016, 12,437 occurred in persons with grade 2 disabilities—that is, visible impairments. Such impairments are preventable. When they occur, they indicate a delay in access to diagnosis and high-quality treatment. Moreover, of the 12,437 new cases reported in 2016 with grade 2 disabilities, 281 were among children, a shamefully high figure, and the overall detection among children was nearly 9% of the 214,783 new cases. Additionally, the overall underreporting of women affected by leprosy reflects their vulnerability and lack of access to health services in many settings, especially in poorer communities. The epidemiology of leprosy is linked to the continuous violation of the human rights of vulnerable groups worldwide and within countries.
In recent decades, it has become increasingly obvious that reducing the incidence of leprosy will require more than just a medical approach. Yet the belief that the availability of medical treatment and dissemination of medical knowledge about leprosy will eliminate stigma and discrimination remains strong, despite the historically, socially, politically, economically, and culturally entrenched discrimination against persons affected by leprosy. In fact, stigma and discrimination hinder people from being diagnosed and treated, as well as from fully enjoying their civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.
For these reasons, in 2010 the United Nations approved Resolution 65/215 on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons Affected by Leprosy and Their Family Members and the accompanying Principles and Guidelines for the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons Affected by Leprosy and Their Family Members.
Research on the intersection of health and human rights with regard to persons affected by leprosy and other NDTs is nevertheless lacking and urgently needed. I commend these principles and guidelines as a roadmap for research and action in the field of NDTs.
The commitment to leaving no one behind seems to draw inspiration from Virchow’s statement, and it highlights the need to retie the Gordian Knot between science and politics, between health and human rights. This means reuniting the ethics upon which human rights are built with the soteriological concern of the practice of medicine, which places compassion at the center of public health efforts. But this also means embodying law—that is, making law relevant to the individual body, where, as Eleanor Roosevelt noted decades ago, all human rights should begin. Further, it means increasingly embedding public health with the human voices of those whose rights have been violated. We must listen to the human voice and respect the knowledge of persons affected and of civil society if we wish to achieve positive outcomes in public health. Taking Virchow seriously means restoring an experiential body to the law and an experiential voice to public health. Both movements are critical for the fulfillment of the 2030 agenda and, particularly, for ending NTDs.

Featured in ‘’Must visit off-beat places in Himachal Pradesh’’ published by a very few travel websites and magazines, Barot valley is located at a distance of 66 Kilometer from Mandi town, which is located on Chandigarh-Manali highway (NH-20). The valley is a beautiful destination surrounded by thick forests of Deodar trees. The valley was originally developed in 1920s for Shanan Hydel Project. Being one of the approachable yet hidden from the world kind of destination, Barot valley has often not received due encouragement and credit on the tourism map of the state.
The untouched and serene beauty of the place, mouthwatering food served hot from the stove, and the quiet warmth of the locals is what makes Barot an offbeat yet a must visit destination on a Himachal tour.
A short yet significant itinerary at Barot has a lot to offer when it comes to local sightseeing.
A major feature of the Barot Village is the two reservoirs under Shanan Power Project. The Uhl River is the only natural water body of the valley which originates at the Thamsar Glacier in the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. The gushing water of Uhl River, apart from adding all the charm to this hamlet, also allows locals for trout breeding and camping to tourists. There is also a trout breeding centre from where the fishes are released into the river. You can, however, can get involved in activities like angling / fishing, hiking, trekking, picnic, etc. There is wooden bridge on k Uhl River. Sitting nearby river and listening to the gushing sound of water and embracing the beauty of the village is something we won’t find in our city lives. On the other side of the Uhl river is another major attraction of the valley, Nargu Wildlife Sanctuary. It is a habitat of various animal species like the Himalayan Monal, Black Bear, and Ghoral. The route for the trek to Kullu passes through the dense forests of this wildlife sanctuary. Spend a day in the sanctuary, exploring a photographer in you and discovering several of birds and animals.
The other major attraction of the place Shanan Hydel project which is the first ever hydro project in India in Megawatt capacity. It was created by the Britishers in collaboration with the king of Jogindernagar and is now under the control of Punjab State Electricity Board. It is situated at a distance of 2 km from the main city. The project utilizes the hydroelectric potential between Uhl River at Barot and Jogindernagar that are separated by a crow fly distance of 7.3 km.
Some other attractions include Trout fishing and angling , another major outdoor activity which tourists can indulge into is outdoor camping. Thandi Golai camping site is situated 1.5 kilometers away from the main market of Barot. It feels like the most tranquil and undisturbed place where one feels like resting in the arms of nature away from the muddles of the world. Barot is also a backpacker’s dream destination because of numerous trekking trails. Themost famous one Is the Trek to Billing. First 15 km in taxi upto Bara Gram village and after that on foot.
One can also visit the ancient temple in the Devgarh Village. A road branches off from Tikken and takes to Devgarh. Here there is an old Pagoda Style temple, and a newly constructed temple. Also,Luhardi is a village in the Chota Bhangal region of Kangra district. It is seven kilometers from Barot. Chota Bhangal is one of the remotest areas in Himachal Pradesh. After your day scouting, a village walk willallow you to know more about the rich culture of Himachal. The shy and innocent villagers will tell you about their simple lifestyles. Listening to such stories will make you realize that how even with soo less, these villagers are more than happy in their lives. They grow organic vegetables, fruits, pulses and more then that they are weaving warm clothes in the houses with sheep wool. They have small units at home to prepare shawls and local pattu’s. You can buy all this stuff by paying to them and this is the true help for them, Villagers are very honest and hardworking.
This lovely valley can be visited during any time of the year except for rainy seasons because the condition of the roads may degrade due to heavy rains. Landslides can also contribute in blocking the roads for an uncertain period. During the months of November to February, climate is quite cold and heavy snowfall can be expected during January. However, the village looks ethereal covered with white sheet of snow. People who are fond of witnessing snow can visit during winters.
Barot valley is easily accessible by road. Barot is 25 km’s from National highway 21. In NH 21 diversion to Barot at Ghatasni which is situated 40 km from Mandi and 55 kms from Palampur in Pathankot Manali Highway 21.
Hence, spending a weekend at Barot valley on your next visit to Himachal Pradesh can be one of the ethereal yet enchanting experiences of your life.

Unfortunately, money don’t fall from the sky like the above picture. In this post, I’ll talk about the very basic on how to make money as a prop. trader or professional gambler.
In this 5 parts article, I will talk about how to make money on your own, with the focus on making “alpha”* bets!
* You can interpret “alpha” as bets that have high probability of success – making money.
There are a lot of ways to make money in life. Basically, it comes down to providing goods and/or services.
– One can build a great product that people love. For example, Apple iPhone, etc.
– Another can provide great service that people want, such as real estate agent.
In terms of the finance industry, there are equivalent roles to above.
– For instance, sale traders can make a great sale pitch selling structured products, i.e. range accural, accumulator, etc.
– Execution traders provide great execution service to portfolio managers (PMs) to get the best average prices for the PM’s orders.
In the examples above, one gets money from others because one provides goods/services. You may wonder if there is another way to make money without providing goods/services.
There is one more role in finance that is not based on selling products or providing services. It’s called proprietary trading (also known as prop-trading), where prop-traders make money (using his/her own money) by placing educated bets in the financial market. This is much like going to casino and wagering.
It sounds a great life, making money without doing work as in providing goods/services. However, let me warn you now and will repeat my warnings multiple times later on : Prop-trading is extremely difficult.
Let me start with this : Why do you think you can make money as a prop-trader?
You think because you are smart? Well, there are a lot of smart people out there too.
Ok, you think you are smarter than the others? Well, let’s see.
By every $100 you are winning, it means other people losing $100. Thus, the sum is zero.
My opinion is that you shouldn’t think you are very smart, but rather there are a lot of people dumber than you. In other words, it’s not about how good you are, but how bad others are. You are ’smart’ RELATIVE to others.
To make a living as a prop-trader in financial market or casino, I will repeat again it’s extremely difficult. However, it’s not impossible. The first step to succeed as a prop-trader is to understand the game, after all, it’s a game, a game played in financial market or casino.
For example, quite a few people had asked me about Baccarat – a popular game played in casino. I don’t know anything about Baccarat. But a simple wiki look up tells you that Baccarat is a strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved. About 91% of total income from Macau casino in 2014 came from Baccarat.
Therefore, you should now know by playing Baccarat is just like rolling the dice, your chance of winning long-term is zero.
How about Blackjack (also known as 21)? Well, it’s still a game with under 50% winning for you. So how did those people at MIT (featured in the movie 21, who are indirect friends of mine) won?
You can look up on the internet how they did it, i.e. card counting. Essentially, it came down to getting more information which put them at an advantage over 50%.
Therefore, this is the second step in succeeding as prop-trader, getting more information to put yourself in an advantage position to play the game. If you have more information in one particular game than the other game, all else equal, play the game where you have more information.
Thus, which game above (Baccarat, Blackjack) do you have more information?
Definitely Blackjack in which you can leverage card-counting technique to gain additional information.
– Insider trading (which is illegal), the insiders have the best available information, thus chance of winning is almost 100% if not 100% already.
– Sports betting, if you are following the sports very closely like a super equity research analyst covering a particular sector, you tend to have more information than others, thus your chance of winning is higher than others.
To continue from Part II which talks about one would like to choose a game where one has more information relative to others.
More information is always good, putting yourself in an advantage position. However, if everyone has the same information, then the information is useless. Thus, the key is not only you have the information, but rather more information than others.
This is the third step in succeeding as prop-trader : Who are your competitions?
NFL player JJ Watts on the left, Soccer player Lionel Messi on the right.
Food for thought : in the above picture, if you have to pick a fight, who do you want to fight against? JJ Watts or Lionel Messi?
For instance, in the U.S., financial market players are largely dominated by institutions, hedge funds, passive and active funds, etc. These are your competitors. It sounds like stiff competitions. Indeed, it is. However, it’s not impossible. One, because your competitors performance is quite poor. In fact, more than half of the funds underperform the market index. There are a lot of reasons why. One of the most obvious reasons is that quite a lot of funds do not generate alpha, aka NOT prop-trading. They make money by collecting fee from clients.
1, One type of players are trying to make money, treat it as a profession.
2, Another type of players are playing for fun, making money is not their top priority.
Thus, who do you want to play against? Of course, you would love to play against the players playing for fun, they are risk-seeker in general, aka gamblers. Your chance of winning is higher when playing against “for fun” players. Thus, if you go to casino to player poker, I would suggest you to play at poker tables that have a lot of players playing a lot of hands, NOT a table of tight players.
Take sports betting as the last example. Who are your competitors here? Sports fans mostly.
They don’t analyze the teams, players, etc. They bet based on their irrational biased behavior. Therefore, you being the rational unbiased person would have a distinct advantage over sports fans.
Furthermore, not only sports fans, so-called professionals like GMs of teams make so many obvious stupid decisions as well. That’s why there are a lot of bad teams. This shouldn’t be surprised to you. If those professionals have high intellects, they are probably not in the sports business.
Therefore, playing at a game where you have additional information than others gives you an advantage.
To continue from Part III in which one would like to choose a game where you have less competitions.
It’s obvious to see the less competitions in poker or sport betting. What about financial markets? The players in this game tend to have higher intellect than the average population.
How do you outplay other players in this market?
Well, you need to understand what the players do and will do. For example, institutions investors usually rebalance their portfolio every 6 months. Non-hedge funds can only long stocks. Hedge funds can do anything, long/short equities, no set rebalance schedule, etc.
Therefore, this is the fourth step in succeeding as prop-trader : What do your competitors do?
It’s not about what you do, but what others do or will do that can give you ideas what you should do.
1, If you know what your competitions will do, you can front-run them. For example, let’s say the presidential election is 15 days away, if you think other players will likely get out of the market to play it safe. Then, you should go short the market before others sell.
2, If you know what your competitions do and why, you can take advantage of it by doing the opposite. For example, others fear of BrExit caused illiquidity, you can capture this liquidity premium. Once the dust is settled, aka situation/fear is not as bad as it seems to be. Liquidity premium is realized.
– When others do X, it pays to do the opposite. For example, in poker : when others are tight, you should be aggressive, vice versa.
1, Understand the game you are playing.
4, Understand what your opponents’ moves.
These will put yourself in an advantage position to play the game. Of course, as you can digest, these rules above are correlated. For instance, if your competition is very strong, then his/her might have the same additional information as you and it could be much harder to understand and predict his moves.
It’s not about how good you are, but how bad others are. You are ’smart’ RELATIVE to others.
Take the New England Patriots for example. Of course this team and organization is very good, from top to bottom, has the culture of winning formula. However, their successes are really magnified by how bad other teams are. The continuous mistakes other teams make are utterly incredible.

unfortunately, money don’t fall from the sky like the above picture. in this post, i’ll talk about the very basic on how to make money as a prop. trader or professional gambler.
in this 5 parts article, i will talk about how to make money on your own, with the focus on making “alpha”* bets!
* you can interpret “alpha” as bets that have high probability of success – making money.
there are a lot of ways to make money in life. basically, it comes down to providing goods and/or services.
– one can build a great product that people love. for example, apple iphone, etc.
– another can provide great service that people want, such as real estate agent.
in terms of the finance industry, there are equivalent roles to above.
– for instance, sale traders can make a great sale pitch selling structured products, i.e. range accural, accumulator, etc.
– execution traders provide great execution service to portfolio managers (pms) to get the best average prices for the pm’s orders.
in the examples above, one gets money from others because one provides goods/services. you may wonder if there is another way to make money without providing goods/services.
there is one more role in finance that is not based on selling products or providing services. it’s called proprietary trading (also known as prop-trading), where prop-traders make money (using his/her own money) by placing educated bets in the financial market. this is much like going to casino and wagering.
it sounds a great life, making money without doing work as in providing goods/services. however, let me warn you now and will repeat my warnings multiple times later on : prop-trading is extremely difficult.
let me start with this : why do you think you can make money as a prop-trader?
you think because you are smart? well, there are a lot of smart people out there too.
ok, you think you are smarter than the others? well, let’s see.
by every $100 you are winning, it means other people losing $100. thus, the sum is zero.
my opinion is that you shouldn’t think you are very smart, but rather there are a lot of people dumber than you. in other words, it’s not about how good you are, but how bad others are. you are ’smart’ relative to others.
to make a living as a prop-trader in financial market or casino, i will repeat again it’s extremely difficult. however, it’s not impossible. the first step to succeed as a prop-trader is to understand the game, after all, it’s a game, a game played in financial market or casino.
for example, quite a few people had asked me about baccarat – a popular game played in casino. i don’t know anything about baccarat. but a simple wiki look up tells you that baccarat is a strictly a game of chance, with no skill or strategy involved. about 91% of total income from macau casino in 2014 came from baccarat.
therefore, you should now know by playing baccarat is just like rolling the dice, your chance of winning long-term is zero.

Viewers of Sean Hannity’s weeknight primetime program on Fox News have certainly become familiar with Sara Carter, as she makes near-daily appearances on the show to discuss the latest news about the “deep state” allegedly operating within the U.S. government.
Recent reporting suggests that Fox News executives take exception to the way Hannity routinely introduces Carter as an “investigative reporter” and have asked him to stop doing so, but that he has refused to abide by that request.
The revelation came amid a lengthy and in-depth article from Mediaite, which looked at how the Fox News Channel has been dealing with coordinated advertiser boycotts targeted at several primetime hosts, as well as how Fox generally tries to differentiate the hard news reporting from the opinion shows in its daily program lineup, something other news networks tend not to do.
That distinction between news and opinion has become crucial at a time when the network is facing concerted opposition from the political left and other media outlets.
Though Fox has attempted to cultivate a reputation for being “fair and balanced,” the network has recently been negatively smeared as “state-run media” and a “propaganda machine” that serves as the unofficial mouthpiece of President Donald Trump’s administration, characterizations that stem from the fact that the network doesn’t report negatively on every single thing done by the president and his administration.
Hannity, along with Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, are quite obviously regarded as pro-Trump opinion hosts, and they are generally given wide latitude by network executives in terms of discussion topics and invited guests, some of whom are not permitted to appear on the hard news programs that air during the day.
Sara Carter is reportedly one of those guests who has been “banned” from the news side of Fox, as network officials do not regard her as a serious journalist.
Indeed, the Mediaite report stated that Fox executives asked Hannity to cease referring to Carter as an “investigative reporter” because her reports are not vetted by the network, nor do they meet the news division’s editorial guidelines.
However, Hannity has essentially ignored that request from the executives, and has continued to introduce Carter as an “investigative reporter” when she is invited on to discuss the latest tidbits she and others have dug up about the inner workings of the Obama administration and the still ongoing efforts to undermine President Trump.
The Mediaite report suggested that Hannity really doesn’t care what the network executives think or want, as the top-rated host — who reportedly has a $35 million contract — is largely viewed as being “untouchable” due to his status as the top star in the lineup.
That said, the report did reveal that Hannity had reluctantly given in to executive demands on a prior occasion, when he was told to cease his extensive coverage in 2017 of the conspiracy surrounding the mysterious death of a Democratic National Committee staffer named Seth Rich, who had been tied by some to the 2016 hack of the DNC’s email server, much of which was later released to the public via WikiLeaks.
Sara Carter may not meet the network’s definition of a vetted and approved “investigative reporter,” but Hannity has thus far refused to bow to the demands from executives that he stop referring to her as such. Given his strong stance against being bullied, it is likely that he will only double down and continue to do so.
