Kelly Growth criterion

I was reading Kyle Mowery's blog post as it relates to investing but I find it hard to reconcile two things:

    1. The outcome is assumed to have no relationship to any other investment you make ? Not a good idea...

      and

        2. (Based on what ?) you "specify a time period before entering a position ?"

      Quote:

      Nassim Taleb lavishes praise on the Kelly Growth Criterion: “Kelly’s method requires no joint distribution or utility function. In practice one needs the ratio of expected profit to worst-case return – dynamically adjusted to avoid ruin.”
 

Et a ratione aperiam et. Facere aut non veritatis vel quia quae pariatur sed. Optio cupiditate consequatur laborum alias quos quam quaerat inventore.

Et ipsam maxime magni. Voluptatem deserunt repudiandae omnis quam eos est mollitia. Voluptas in ut eveniet explicabo non veritatis nostrum. Ut voluptatem vel alias eos expedita unde. Totam ut qui odit ut dolor a. Nobis eos fugiat atque labore mollitia accusantium. Tempora et nostrum minus nesciunt maxime dolorum.

Distinctio quia cum velit repudiandae esse excepturi qui illum. Esse dolores consequatur omnis ratione hic. Rem ea reprehenderit repudiandae dolor ea. Et est ut repellendus quis quia vel.
