You've come so far in a short time, Richard. These early videos, while great, are not quite as engaging or show you as much at ease (and funny) as you are in your recent content. You've a gift for this work, and your evident growth as a presenter in the four years you've been producing The Plain Bagel (and the large number of subscribers) attests to that. Thanks for making financial literacy, especially as it relates to investing, charming and inviting, especially but not exclusively for the younger investor.

Hey Bagel, great work, I am completely new to the world of finance and investments and your videos are very useful as well as entertaining. I am sure that this is going to be one of the channels that I will not regret subscribing to. Just one question, how is it possible that the derivative market represents 10x the world economy and what does this mean if everyone tries to cash in all at once? Thank you in advance!

Alvaro Pasquel thanks for the positive feedback! I’ve been really debating discussing crypto currencies, but I have a pretty heavy bias on the topic and I may not be able to discuss it from a neutral perspective. That being said, it’s very topical and I’d love to do a talk on it so I’ll probably do one sooner or later.

How do people actually make an algorithm with excel and other software programs?

@ThePlainBagel 5 жыл бұрын

Excel has its own programming language called Visual Basics that turns it into a pretty powerful tool, though I’m not sure if it’s actually used with algo trades. It could, however, be tied to other systems using APIs (ie if the excel program identifies a buy opportunity, you could have the system automatically submit an order on a different brokerage platform). Not sure if that’s actually what algo trading looks like though

I would argue that cryptocurrencies are a more (theoretically) revolutionary alternative asset than derivatives. Highly subjective of course. Great stuff; informative AND approachable, detailed without being pedantic. Keep up the great work.

@ThePlainBagel 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words, glad you find the videos useful! I agree that cryptos are pretty revolutionary, however their impact on the market is (currently) dwarfed by derivatives. Their market cap is around $228.33B (though I'm not sure how reliable that number is, just found it from a Google search), whereas higher estimates of the derivatives market puts it at a size of $1.2 Quadrillion ($1,200,000B). That being said, we haven't seen the full impact of cryptos yet, or if they'll lose popularity moving forward; only time will tell!

@ThePlainBagel 6 жыл бұрын

Hey Soupy, you’re completely right! The MBS was a big part of the crisis, but it wasn’t the instrument itself but rather the greed of the institutions that created the products that led to the financial collapse. The instrument in and of itself makes sense, but there was explicit lying and manipulation involved with the MBS securities of 2008. I additionally don’t recommend anything in these videos, I’m trying to take a more educational approach, though I’ll be sure to make a future video on 2008. Also, big fan of the Big Short :)
