AI like ChatGPT makes it easier for people to enter the world of algo trading or even setting up and testing their systems. Python is hugely popular in the finance community with legacy code and ChatGPT is particularly well-suited for helping build and debug Python code. It works for Windows, Mac or Linux users.In this video, I briefly explain data preparation and exploratory analysis along with setting up a model for prediction. I provide an overview of the steps you'll need to take along with some of my own opinion from personal experience as a financial economics professor and retail trader.Best wishes for your trading!

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
The debate between fundamentalists vs chartists has often been between academics and practitioners. Academics love fundamentals. A good trader should be familiar with both.
Fundamental analysis is a method used to evaluate the intrinsic value of a company or security by examining its financial statements, economic conditions, and industry trends.
Technical analysts focus entirely on price movements and trading volume. That is, human behavior tends to repeat itself, so by studying past patterns, technical traders aim to predict future price moves.
Fundamental investors often ask: 'Is this company undervalued or overvalued?' Technical traders ask: 'Where is the price likely to move next based on momentum and sentiment?' Fundamentalists care about what they’re buying. Technicians care about when they’re buying.
The truth is: many of the best traders and investors use a blend of both. You might pick high-quality companies using fundamentals—and time your entries using technicals. Think of it like picking the best car for a race… and then choosing the right moment to hit the gas.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Coding and finance complement each other in today's modern world. But with AI, is there a need to learn to code?
The old answer would be: yes. ChatGPT is a game changer, but a well-rounded trader should have some knowledge of coding. Python is often the language of choice.
Coding automates repetitive tasks like trade execution, data collection and performance analytics. It also reduces human error (emotion) and insures consistency. Backtesting and forward testing strategies, moreover, benefit from computer power. Speed, 24/7 operations and a competitive edge can all be achieved by intelligently using machines.
So what will you do? Don't get left behind - join the AI revolution and connect coding with finance.

What is a derivative? It's a financial contract whose value derived from underlying asset (stock / bond / commodity / currency). Examples include options, forwards (between two private parties over the counter), futures (sold on the exchange) and swaps (exchanging cash flows like debt).
As for an option, you can think of it like a ticket to see a concert. You have the right but not the obligation to buy (call) or sell (put) at a pre-determined strike price before the expiry date. You can write or sell an option to earn a premium and you can purchase an option.
What options trading platforms are the best? I love interactive brokers for more advanced trading, but used to find Charles Schwab with ThinkScript great as a beginner.
As for options trading strategies, beginner ones can include covered calls, i.e., selling calls when owning the stock. This generates rent or passive income on stocks you own but caps the upside. Or you could think of protective puts by buying a put on a stock you own like insurance if the price drops to hedge against downside risk. You could also sell a put and hold enough cash to buy the contract for the stock, which would allow you earn passive income and buy a stock at a premium discount if the price drops. More advanced strategies usually rely on `the Greeks' and buying and selling several options at once.
Be careful with naked options when you don't have enough cash or enough shares in your account - selling a call can have an infinite loss. Covered option trading is great for risk management. Also be cautious about margin calls from your brokerage when you buy on margin or leverage.

The Roth IRA allows you to invest your after-tax contributions where you can grow your investments tax-free. Contribution limits and income caps apply, but it can truly be one of the best tax-advantaged retirement account out there.
There are no minimum required distributions, unlike the traditional 401(k). With no tax on the withdrawals, this account allows you some tax diversification that can benefit you if you are in a higher tax bracket when you withdraw in retirement. It's great for the young or people in low-income bracket parts of their lives. It’s like paying taxes on the seed, not the harvest.
Why is it underused?
- Lack of awareness or financial education
- Confusion over eligibility and limits
- Short-term mindset over long-term planning
- No immediate tax benefit (vs Traditional IRA)
- Many people prioritize employer 401(k)s and never explore further
Despite some common myths like it's not for high-income families (they should check out the backdoor Roth), there are some people well suited to a Roth IRA. The best fits are young professionals, side-hustlers and gig workers, those in low-income years (career transitions, gap years), and those who want more retirement control.
So, why is the Roth IRA underused? It’s not because it’s weak—it’s because people don’t know how powerful it is. Now you do. The question is: Will you use it?
Do you have a Roth IRA? What’s been your experience?

Credit card points are rewards you earn for everyday spending. To diversify your points means collecting rewards across multiple ecosystems.

00:00 Intro
Are you hoarding points across Chase, Amex, Capital One, and Citi—hoping to score that dream vacation? But wait… is spreading your points actually helping you—or hurting your rewards strategy? Today, we’re answering a simple but powerful question: Should you diversify your credit card points? Let’s break it down.
01:03 What Are Credit Card Points?
Credit card points are rewards you earn for everyday spending. But not all points are created equal. Some are bank-specific, like Chase Ultimate Rewards or Amex Membership Rewards. Others are co-branded, tied to airlines or hotels like Delta Skymiles or Marriott Bonvoy.
01:35 What does Diversification Mean?
To diversify your points means collecting rewards across multiple ecosystems. One person might have an Amex Gold for groceries, a Chase Sapphire Preferred for travel, and a Capital One Venture X for general spending—racking up points in three different programs.
02:00 Pros of Diversifying Points
So, why diversify at all?
More Transfer Partners – Each program has unique airline and hotel partners. Diversifying means flexibility.
Category Optimization – You can earn more by using the best card for each category.
Backup Options – If one program devalues or changes rules, you’re not stuck.
02:48 Cons of Diversifying Points
But diversification isn’t always a win.
Diluted Value – You may end up with small balances in many programs, which are harder to use.
Redemption Headaches – Booking award travel with multiple programs can get messy.
Annual Fees – Holding multiple premium cards adds up—fast
03:22 When It Makes Sense To Diversify
If you’re a travel hacker or a rewards optimizer, having multiple programs makes sense. You can cherry-pick the best redemptions.
But if you’re a casual user, focusing on one ecosystem—like Chase or Amex—might be smarter. Simpler, easier, and still powerful.
03:48 Hybrid Strategy
Consider a hybrid strategy:
Primary program – Put most of your spend here.
Secondary – Use for bonus categories or specific redemptions.
Avoid spreading too thin. It’s like investing—diversify just enough, but stay focused.

The cost of entry can be low to join short term rental sites like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Marriott Suites, and others. And those who have tried know first-hand how exciting the first day was where they saw themselves enjoy that email announcing how much they would make from their first booking. So if the potential from high income seems like one of the best obvious positives...what could be one of the least clear problems?
One of the biggest issues has to do with loan qualification standards. Many lenders simply don't accept Airbnb income as a dependable source of income for mortgage qualification.
The cashflow can help you build your war chest up to buy your next property or you could use it to pay off your existing mortgages faster. This could help lower your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio.
But there are other significant concerns with short-term rental relating to legal issues and neighbors. If the neighbors are unhappy and complain to the local authorities, you may face an unwinnable battle in your town, irrespective of local laws. Guests themselves can be a source of trouble. Damage from the short-term use can also be more severe than long-term guests. Your property is almost becoming commercial with the amount of wear and tear so you could face significant maintenance, repair and depreciation expenses.
Don't forget that with short-term rental, it's more of a business than a passive investment vehicle. This is especially true for rental arbitrage. But even with short-term renting your property as an owner-landlord, you are in the hospitality industry rather than pure traditional real estate. It becomes a business, which in turn has its pros and cons.
How do you feel about short-term rentals? Share your thoughts in the comments section!

Born in 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska, Warren Buffett Showed interest in business early: selling gum, Coca-Cola, and newspapers. He was just 11 years old when he bought his first stock! After graduating in Business Administration with two years at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and two further years at the University of Nebraska, he received a Masters in Economics at Columbia University. There he studied under Benjamin Graham, who would be pivotal in helping him develop a foundation in value investing. He took over Berkshire Hathaway in 1965 and built it into a $700+ billion empire. Known as the `Oracle of Omaha', he remains humble, living in the same house since 1958 with a frugal lifestyle despite his massive wealth.
In terms of strategies, Buffett espouses value investing with a long-term focus. He only invests in businesses he understands, where there is a competitive advantage, and where the leadership is both honest and competent.
As for lesson we can learn from him, he lives below his means and has a preference for avoiding debt (especially credit card debt). Patience is a virtue and being contrarian: don't follow the crowd. Last, reputation matters: it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it.
From humble beginnings to building a financial empire, Buffett’s success boils down to simple principles done consistently.
Which Buffett tip resonated most with you? Let me know in the comments!

#academia #MichaelCurran #MeetKevin #GrahamStephan #InvestingProfessor #ProfMichaelCurran
As a tenured academic professor within a business school at a private liberal arts college in the Philadelphia region, I share my experience on what it's like to pursue an academic career.
The main three components of an academic life are research, teaching, and service - probably in that decreasing order. Research is typically how you get hired and promoted. Some institutions value teaching highly, while others prioritize research. As you become senior, service becomes a bigger component. Considering if you may enjoy these roles may help you discover if academia is for you. Of course, good grades are essential!
Visiting other parts of the world is attractive. Travel can be a big component with conferences, research trips and short visits teaching. Every day can be different too with opportunity to learn. As my father used to say, teaching in the college setting can also keep you young as you are surrounded by young adults and constantly updated on current events and trends.
One attractive aspect of joining the ranks of academic intelligentsia is the status and kudos associated after years of training (input) and contributing to the advancement of societal knowledge (output). Some are invited as expert interviewees by the media.
Keeping up with your profession is important well beyond the PhD, especially with the ever increasing bar of publication standards. Publishing is the main avenue for tenure and promotion. Some move between academia and industry (public vs private) and between the US, dominating most academic fields, and the rest of the world. Extra perks include tax write-offs, meals / travel / research expenses, rubbing elbows with elites... And the much coveted academic freedom allows us latitude for "task freedom": researching what we want, within certain, wide limits.

From humble origins, Ginger Crystal Faith is a successful real estate investor for over three decades. She is a real estate broker and builder, CEO of Golden Canyon Properties, Inc., and has flipped over 52 houses - two were featured on HGTV. An AirBnb Superhost, landlady, and banker, she bought her first large profitable commercial real estate investment in 1994. She is the founder of YourWealthNetwork meetup group and the Women’s Wealth Network in the San Francisco Bay area. As seen on FOX, CBS, NBC, and Yahoo Finance, I am pleased to interview Ginger.
Ginger navigates us through her early influences and how she gained independence despite a troubled start. Inspiring, Ginger describes how her journey began with some remarkably successful entrepreneurial endeavors and large rental acquisitions in her teens and 20s. From a behavioral perspective, I was keen on what attracted her to investing and specific characteristics and qualities that helped along her path. What is intriguing is how she reconciles her differences with others and avoids feelings of jealousy or victimhood by looking up to others and asking herself what can she learn?
In this episode, Ginger shares her best strategies and regales how she became a Renaissance woman. Helping people is what she loves most and building a strong team around her helps her form the courage to jump into bigger projects and avoid scams. We end with her advice for those from tough backgrounds, novice investors and folk who wish to pursue commercial real estate.

00:00 Intro
00:18 Citizenship By Investment
Several countries offer people ways to obtain residency or citizenship. These "Citizenship By Investment" programs attract foreign financial capital, usually through you making a one time donation to a specific government fund or buying specific property. You make significant financial contributions to their economy in return for citizenship. So they attract investment and stimulate growth. In return, you get a passport or tax residency. A win-win!
01:14 St Kitts and NevisSeveral of the most famous programs are in the Caribbean. St Kitts & Nevis offers one of the most competitive programs: no income tax, no inheritance tax, no capital gains, and no wealth tax. You get the benefits of residency without having to even set foot in the country to maintain it. Of course, if you're a foreign national, you'll still owe whatever to your foreign government. But only the US and Eritrea use worldwide taxation. As long as you don't fall into your home country's tax residency (usually a significant presence test like spending more than a certain number of days there per year), you're golden.
05:49 Specifics St Kitts & Nevis offers a powerful passport with visa free access to over 155 countries including Russia, UK and the EU amongs others and takes only about 6 months once the invesment is made. Currently the price tag has gone up from $100k to $250k for a government donation or $325k for residential investment. Other countries offer cheaper and more expensive options. Some have higher tax. Some have more crime. Some are less desirable places to live.

How can you quickly boost your credit score? Would you like to raise your credit score? With better credit, you can lower the rate at which you borrow on loans. You can take advantage of some of the best travel credit cards and use points from these cards for discounts when traveling.
But it all starts with building your credit. In this video, I'll discuss the 5 main targets 90% of lenders use - FICO as a measure of creditworthiness - and how you can improve each of these 5 targets so your score rises super fast.
1) Payment History counts 35% towards your score. Pay on time!
2) Amounts Owed counts 30% towards your score. It's OK to owe some amount, but not too much. Credit utilization rate is the ratio of credit you use to the credit you have available. You'll want to use your cards to keep them active (they may get cancelled if you fail to use them for long enough) so you can show you have credit available - cancelling your credit cards increases your credit utilization rate, which his bad. Put a small expense on them each month if possible. Maybe breath mints! The more accounts you have with balances is bad, though, so try to pay off most of the cards as you go: treat them like debit cards.
3) Length of Credit History counts 15% towards your score. Don't close your oldest account. Also, don't suddenly use a card for a big expense; instead, use them occasionally and gradually
.4) Credit Mix counts 10% towards your score. Lenders like to see you can juggle a variety of types of loans: flexible revolving (e.g., credit cards with minimum balances or HELOCs with interest only for a period) and fixed installment (e.g., auto / mortgage / student) lines of credit. But avoid making too many hard inquiries as they tank your score. Inquiries last for 1 year on FICO and 2 years on your credit report.
5) New Credit counts 10% towards your score. Don't take on too much too quick. Shop for rates within 45 days and your FICO will drop only once.
