this guy is a mastermind at creating his videos. Im impressed. After all he is a data scientist. His able to collect statistics from his viewers in the form of their comments/opinions and analyze them before making his next videos and hes done a great job at it. As for the structure of his contents, i give a thumbs up. He never tells his viewers why he is depressed, but leaves the viewer wondering when he tells them he quit his job at the end. He played us good. its all a "chess game"
Joma, thanks man. This is a great interview. Truly from the perspective of somebody interested in becoming a Quant, you truly ask all of the right questions. You're great at what you do. Thanks G
older siblings do really pave the way for their younger siblings and i am just as grateful for having an older sister who was such a positive influence during my school years despite her being a scary sister LOL im glad joma and his brother could have this time bc tbh it's hard to talk about even stuff like this one on one w/ siblings in general.
Hey Joma, I've been watching your videos and enjoying them very much. I'm currently an Applied Math econ minor at UCSD and I've been losing hope at being a quant but after watching this video I realized there are still many things I can do to strengthen my skillset. I just wanted to say thanks for this video, it helped me out a lot!
here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make trade. I thought to trade demo is just like the real..can anyone help me out or at least tell me on what to do.

It's always great to see such diversity even in one family. At the end of the day, it's not about which brother is better or smarter. It's how you complement and support each other. I think Joma is doing a great job on his own path right now. Life is a journey to find one's destination. Just keep on moving, Joma!
a day in the life of a heroin addict People say nurture matters more because it makes themselves feel good. It’s what’s called virtue signaling. Genetics accounts for 80% of outcomes. All you have to do is look at twins separated at birth to understand this. Even with different upbringing they end up with the same interests in life and success outcomes.
What about Muslims or members of other cults? Do you think your average non-Muslim Feminist would support an oppressive regime that practices Sharia Law? Virtue Signaling supports nurture more than nature, lol.
we can feel that you two are so close to each other and support each other, and joma, it's really nice to have a big brother as a life model for you, you two are both very smart and gentle!
The reason I love this series so much it gives me so much new and interesting information I would have otherwise not known. Really great initiative, even if the vids are lengthy, they really give you great insight and knowledge. Keep it up Joma oppa!
As someone who also does quant research in developing high frequency statistical arbitrage futures trading strategies I'm honestly surprised he didn't immediately say python or R when asked for his favorite programming language.
David is a genius. Top 10% in the William Lowell Putnam Competition 2008(In his resume) Incredible. I guessed he did not receive intensive training in olympiad math during childhood? But Top 10% in Putnam is extremely difficult for people other than the "math geek".
@@purefatdude2 Top 10% right now is top 400, since around 4000 people took it this year. That was back in 2008, wouldn't be surprised if it meant top 200 back then.
well, I changed to a c.s. degree and got back into coding because of how awesome Joma makes data science and coding seem, so he's giving back in some sense.
Hey Joma, thanks for the interview episode. I just wanted to say, seeing you guys succeed helped me in deciding to go to the University of Waterloo for my undergrad
love the bro-mance between you and your brother. You two obviously love and respect each other more than you let it out (asian and all, I know, I know). I think you both are awesome humans in your own ways.
I literally had chills when Detective Conan Popped up, I was relating myself to the whole interest in Finance and myself I am CS undergraduate.. and Oh Yes I am a Big Fan of Detective Conan , I play as a detective many times!
Liked the interview a lot. Your bro seems like a very smart guy. It'd be cool to get him on again and made just talk about some other topics. Made a general discussion about data science, machine learning, the future of ML. bitcoin??? and more Q+A
Wow this is so human among other tech vlogs I have seen. Subscribed after 5 hrs. of watching. PS. Don't worry it's Sunday, I did not watch this to procrastinate, haha.

Its as if my comment touched a sensitive spot with you personally because maybe you are/were the guy with no social life so you had taken this comment personally and justified it as "hate". lol chill out bro.
Kaes I said it’s hate because you did not just comment this once you seemed to want to downplay anytime someone called him a genius by insinuating he had no social life. The guy doesn’t even think is a genius and no you didn’t hit a soft spot I’m smart but no where near competitive levels and stuff, plus I have a ton of great friends. I have never considered myself a genius but good try thinking you did something there. Also because you commented more than once downplaying his intelligence, it does come across as hate and as if you were trying to justify the fact that you haven’t achieved up to what he has achieved because you had a social life. That’s just pathetic I do see your point cos a lot of people might fit your assessment but it’s weird the way you did it twice, this is long but almost done...

His name is YANG!!!

David you’re my new role model, so smart yet so chill! I happen to like the humble bragging too
He said "they can make...", and I thought he was about to 100k. "Then he said "200k with half a mil in bonuses. " ma heart dropped.
David seems to be a more polite and quite guy as opposed to Joma, but hey they both doing great with their careers, so thats cool!
