I don’t know how this would work. Trading on info always seems great until it comes time to actually do it. eg you get actual inside knowledge that suggests a trade, but wait, how do you know whether this inside knowledge is sufficiently leaked that it is priced in?
If you can predict the result of the data ahead of time, that seems very important for making decisions (eg. predicting stock market moves).

Many LW people have now taken the view that the market is not efficient when it comes to black swan events.
I’m having trouble imagining a concrete scenario where it would be possible to use this information to gain an advantage.
Whether or not a published paper has a hypnothesis that’s true or not true is a known unknown and not a unknown unknown or a black swan.
The idea is that the context surrounding this pandemic is unique.
Will all the black swam ETFs (like taleb assistant one universa) make it more efficient in that direction?
