Ahh nice. My brother graduated math and comp sc and went fot quant, so I had some idea but not as much detail as you explained. Pretty cool actually. Good luck, hope it works out great for you both!! 👍🏻👍🏻

High frequency trading. It's what I actually do for work lol. Basically - market making and arbitrage systems (trade lots, ie: billions of volume, back and forth a ton, have a small statistical (or deterministic) edge, and just extract moneys from the market). It's a niche area of quant finance. Just me and one other guy doing it Think of it like this. Some stonk is priced at $100 in two different places. Someone decides to sell in one place and drops the price to $99.98. There is a small period of time that you can buy for $99.98 and sell for $100.00 in the other place and make 2 cents for free. It's a market inefficiency & exists everywhere at a massive scale High frequency just means you look for / find & trade those inefficencies. It's estimated some shit like \~50% of global trade volume is HFT and \~20% of that is arbitrage (ie: what I just described). \~10% of our global trade volume is nothing other than picking up pennies / correcting pricing inefficiencies... it's a multi billion dollar industry. I'm just 1 guy who tries to play the games too! :D . It's how I got into finance in the first place (from comp sci / tech previously). I've seen of / talked to people who have built independent systems capable of extracting > $10m / annum before as well (we've never got there, but for a 2 man team we can still get > $1m each). Lots of prop firms / hedge funds have these type of systems behind closed doors but you'll never hear about them. I'm aware of guys in crypto doing it making \~$8-12million per head / have talked to people who claim to be doing that. I'm independent / no NDA so don't really care. I enjoy talking about this stuff / more akin to a hobby. No bossman breathing down my neck & I've never worked at a firm before. I figured it out on my own. It's an incredibly competitive, cutthroat game (even more so than by hand trading). My partner and I got a new system that we are about to push live, it's gonna be super cool. It works in a live environment and is breaking 1% daily returns on average. Kinda cool! Returns can look like this - it's fucked https://preview.redd.it/m7a3kigkknrf1.png?width=774&format=png&auto=webp&s=76162fa09f997dc48249b1c11dfcffbfac24985a

We'll comp you at the noodle bar. Thanks for playing

FYI I went to college for comp engineering and have bought chip stocks for over a decade. I'm not an expert but extremely knowledgeable. what you are saying makes no sense.  Jensen as far back as the late 90s (when started following him)  understood the future of super-computing was in gpu architecture and nothing has changed.  a high end gpu can do 100tflops plus integer performance, a cpu is rated in SINGLE Digits. integer isn't everything but that gives you an example of how wide the gap is.

##META dropping VIBES AI-Slop highlighter after scooping $100M comp AI geniuses is all you need to know to confirm this AI bubble is about to pop right open.

No it wasn’t really about Elon just that some on the list are getting more base and bonus and that a lot of privates and equity pieces seem to be missing from here. Tim apples avg comp looks to be like 85m over the last 3 years which pales in comparison to the 100b/annual incentive plan for Elon

---

None of these guys above only make this much money. And many of them aren’t even near in total comp. This is a weird like base and bonus thing without many incentives

What is your Wendy’s comp package?

Market competitive. Only 10,000 times higher than the highest paid on this list. I’m SHOCKED that his board member brother would think this is fair comp.

---

its market cap is 23.56B and insiders own 12.46% of it. 42m is peanuts. its a big issue if they they sell most of their ownership. Otherwise it could be just for tax related or just that they need money for something. After all that is most of their comp.
