### Welcome Hello. This is my collection of notes on financial markets, investment strategies, and data analysis. Hopefully, this digital garden will grow over time, and topic intersections will be tracked with a graph on the right, so interested readers can see how everything is interrelated. For the most part, the content here will revolve around, as Robert Carver[^1] put it, three deceptively simple questions: 1. What to buy? 2. How much of it is to buy? 3. How long to hold it? The questions will be tackled from three different perspectives: 1. Asset allocation 2. Quantitative investment 3. Pattern trading The categorizations are broad and somewhat arbitrary, and these approaches differ in time horizons, required skills and effort, the amount of capital they can absorb, and most importantly, their expected returns (or lack thereof). ### Disclaimer The materials are for educational purposes only.
