Personnel
gollark: I'd say it's more of an alpha.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: Because Noerdy keeps changing around the names.
gollark: "Solved" until someone works out tax evasion.
gollark: The funny thing is that the *real* markets this is... vaguely based on... don't suffer problems remotely similar to this. I mean, high-frequency trading is a thing, but there's a lot of manual investing because you need to actually think.
