Finance jargon is impenetrable.

Aren't you supposed to gamble with a fixed percentage of your money in case a long tail event happens? From an outsider's point of view, that seems like rule number one.

Questions about NASDAQ:

  - What is NASDAQ? Wikipedia says they're a "stock exchange",
    which supposedly means they provide a place for people to
    trade in stocks and bonds and various other "securities".
  - How was NASDAQ affected by this guy's decisions? Are they trading something?
Cheers.
