My classmates and I, Timothy Amadi, had the chance to go to Norfolk, Virginia for a quick overnight. We got to tour the USS Wisconsin, Nauticus Museum, a Naval Cruise, Mount Trashmore, and Jamestown. We had a super fun time together on the beach Thursday evening and Friday morning. It was so cool to see the sunset and all the marvelous scenery that was around us when we were there.
Today I practiced Python for Finance on Sololearn! This time I learned to optimize a portfolio. I allocated assets to get the maximum return and minimum risk. I ran a loop to calculate the returns, volatility, and Sharpe ratios for randomly generated portfolios. Finally, I plotted them in an Efficient Frontier to show the most efficient portfolio. Next time I will be reviewing everything we have learned!
Today I practiced Python for Finance on Sololearn! This time I demonstrated loops in a Python program. I showed how to run a block of code multiple times with a for loop. I also showed how to run a loop a set amount of times with the range function. Next time I will be going over portfolio optimization!
Today I practiced Python for Finance on Sololearn! This time I went over correlations, the degree to which two securities move in relation to each other. I showed how to calculate correlations with the corr() function and visualized them with the statmodels package. Next time I will be analyzing a portfolio by calculating metrics!
Daniel and I got the chance to go to Carowinds Amusement Park. It had all sorts of rides and different types of fun that everyone could enjoy! The first ride I rode on was the Fury. It goes as high as 325 Feet in the air! Then it descends at a rapid speed and for me, it felt like my stomach was dropping into my legs! I rode on several different coasters and Daniel did too. We had a blast!
Our teachers are going to a teacher’s convention this Thursday and Friday. Even though they have been teaching for years, the teachers sometimes have to become students again. This applies to everyone as well. It doesn’t matter how old you are, you will always be learning more and more as time goes on. Nobody truly knows everything and sometimes it is necessary to have a reminder as well. School is not for everyone, but everyone has to constantly learn and acquire knowledge in whatever field one may be interested in.
