Studies show that at least part of your intelligence is not derived from genetics and can be improved.
“When it comes to improving intelligence, many researchers have thought it was not possible,” says Jaeggi. “Our findings clearly show this is not the case. Our brain is more plastic than we might think.”
…The results were surprising. While the control groups made gains, presumably because they had practice with the fluid intelligence tests, the trained groups improved considerably more than the control groups. Further, the longer the participants trained, the larger were their intelligence gains.
This is part of the reason why I think it is important for young people to play chess.

Henry is in trouble. Securities fraud, conspiracy charges, etc…
This made me laugh:
In 2001, according to one count on the indictment, Mr Nicholas smoked so much marijuana during a flight on a private jet between Orange County and Las Vegas that the pilot had to put on an oxygen mask.

The market got crushed today. That is the great thing about day trading – when the market tanks like it did today, you have a lot of opportunity to make money. And all of the profits are already booked on the run up yesterday. The automated trading system made 4.47R yesterday and 2.49R today. All (and more) of the profit today was made with a short of UAUA:
I’ve been looking at various stats of the system, now that we have almost 3 months worth of trading data. Last week, I posted the chart of the expectancy leveling off. This chart of the win-rate leveling off is also interesting:
A 34% win rate is nothing to brag about, but if it works – then I’m fine with it.
The best thing about these charts is that it gives you a good idea of how your system performs. Obviously, it can have streaks of different results – and you have to plan for this – but I like getting more data because it gives you a better idea of what you can expect.
