WSC Weekly Reads...

Labels:
Each week I come across lot of interesting research and analysis through WallStreetCurrents.  So posting a list of articles I found interesting and informative.

Trading/Investing:
  1. Volatility based Asset Allocation - The title is bit misleading. It is not about position sizing based on asset volatility but rather it is about using VIX as one of the filters to determine selection of Assets. Clear explanation and lots of performance stats.
  2. Four Big Themes current going on - A summary of 4 big macro stories currently going on
  3. How to set profit targets and control losses - Interesting article from Futures Mag. Talks about walk forward optimization and using MAE, MFE etc for determining profit targets and losses.
  4. HP's Deal from Hell - Pretty insightful article from AswathDamodaran.
  5. How much profit will Amazon eventually make?  - Interesting viewpoints from short perspective.
  6. This trend is very worrisome for Apple - Good analysis on Apple mobile market share and viewpoints.
Technology:
  1. Augmented Light Bulb Turns a Desk into Touch Screen - Pretty interesting idea.
  2. Why Amazon thinks big data was made for the cloud
  3. The cleverest business model in Online Education - The article talks about a startup called Duolingo that taps into crowd to make learning a language free.
  4. Beyond Lithium Ion - ARPA E Places Bets on Novel Energy Storage - The article has also link to list of projects submitted to ARPA and grants they received.
  5. Why Google's Ingress game is a data gold mine
  6. MIT Researchers create tiny shape shifting robots - A interesting idea with 3 min video.
Other:
  1. 5 statistics problems that will change the way you see world - Interesting problems especially the 4th and 5th one.
  2. Weighing the Week Ahead - Summary of various stuff happening in markets.
  3. New generation investors betting on Americas housing market
  4. How does drawing improve children's mood?
Now I don't agree with all views. On other hand, I find it useful to read especially views that contradict mine. Please let me know in comments/mail if you found this post useful. If there is enough interest, I will post weekly WSC reads in future.

 Wish you all good health and good trading!

Hi Oddmund, Thanks for the feedback. To start with my current thinking is to publish on weekends like a weekly digest.
