Yeah, no, I can't support a Veritasium video celebrating the underpinnings of the capitalist system. People are starving, freezing, and succumbing to illness. You have power, and this is not the direction in which you should be wielding it.

This is so trash of a video. The math is on point. The fundamentals of the markets are FUTURE believes. 8:31 He talks of the Market Efficiency theory as if the MAIN reason people buy stock(posibility of future profits or lost) as the source of why markets are inefficient. Its the main reason why markets are volatile. They are future prices in present conditions.
@KevinSantiago-d8y Says:
Isaac newton is the worst example. The NYSE wasnt even a thing. So the price never went anywhere because no one was willing to BUY! BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD BUY HES STOCK! The most ignorant people are the smartest people. They drown in toughts with little to no action.

The problem with the Black-Sholes-Merton equation is that it is still based on an underlying (log)normal distribution. Under normal conditions - where events are unrelated enough you can assume independence - this works fine but as soon as events become highly correlated it is useless. As its surviving inventors found out at LTCM. The real innovation of it was not that it gave an accurate price to an option but it gave a way for parties to AGREE on a price and this led to an explosion in options trading.
@Tyranix97 Says:
(22:25) Just so people don't get the wrong idea, (I.) options are basically insurance contracts against risk. ... Since options are contracts, by law, these are prohibited from perpetuity. Ergo, every options contract must have an expiration date. ... The measurement of the rate at which an option loses its value as it gets closer to its expiration date is called Theta. ... ... ... (II.) The other thing is: C-Suite can use stock dilution (such as secondary offerings or At-The-Market offerings) to combat extreme stock price volatility driven by heavy options trading or short squeezes. By flooding the market with new shares, C-Suite can increase the public float, satisfy runaway demand, and deflate speculative momentum. ... ... ... C-Suite executives dislike stock price volatility from options trading because it distorts financial reporting, triggers massive cash drains from executive compensation, increases their personal risk, and forces them to focus on short-term stock swings instead of long-term business growth.

Trading really threw me for a loop emotionally..One moment I felt like I had the market mastered, and the next I was questioning why I ever got started. I tried doing it all on my own, following online videos, but the losses keeps stacking up faster than the wins.

No, it does not make Simons the greatest mathematician of all time. It makes the employee that Simons brought on board who came up with the winning strategies the greatest mathematical of all time. Study the history of the company. It is public information.

This is a wonderful video for mathematicians as well as market participants. It is fine to now have the important equation. Having placed many tens of thousands of trades, and having read countless books on trading, and having intensely studied price charts for many decades, I would submit that there are ideas almost entirely unrecognized which are even more potent that this equation. I say more potent because certain ideas contain the actual ability to predict certain future price moves in certain circumstances. Black-Scholes may be a useful theoretical pricing model, but it achieves ZERO towards actual market prognostication. The potent ideas I mention involve achieving unusual insights from study of price charts at a level far more in-depth than typical traders or even market experts ever achieve. One can create returns far greater than the typical hedge funds and money managers achieve, and all without even trading most of the time. Just reserve trading for the moments when outstanding market moves are about to begin. Obviously I cannot explain everything about this here. Just know that it can be done. Markets are predictable in the right circumstances.

A perfect market is one where share prices are truly random? I would prefer a calm market, where investors were bound to hold shares for a given time. That would cause them to think long-term. I prefer investment to speculation.

In my school and university days, I was mostly shut down when I asked 'why' questions in Math. Am in my 40s, rediscovering math with fundamental understanding of 'why' has brought me some enlightenment, thanks in part to channels like these and ChatGPT/Claude.
@Enrico-f5t Says:
I don't have sympathy with your math; you say, if the stock is $130 on expiry, the profit is 200% ($30 gain - $10 cost of option). But upon expiry you must pay $100, so you paid $110, and with $20 profit (assuming your sale won't affect the price), the profit is 18.2%. Quoting 200% gain is not meaningful. The loss is still 100% though. BW
