    The incredible sadness of austerity

    And the answer is: NONE OF THE ABOVE. answer is: Creeping socialism and swelling of entitlement programs. Disincentives to entrepreneurism and hard work in general. Why take risks or work hard when Big Govvie has got your back covered ? Then this thinking spreads like a disease.

    85 billion a year hit to US economy

    Sorry Achilles, I love this comment. First of all, why are they spending all of that taxpayer money on that stuff, and second of all, why is our country in riot mode ? Wait ! Could the first (political corruption and waste) be causing the second (people are all pissed off and willing to go to...

    The IRS & DOJ Are Grabbing New Powers In The Hunt For Revenue

    All of this tax scamming ad cheating is due to Sarbanes-Oxley...which exempted small businesses....where most of that is happening today. What a stupid piece of legislation.

    You are right on that. Anyone can make-up numbers. Usually if there is a trade blotter that goes along, you can definitely confirm the stats. I guess you could pull a Bernie Madoff and create the trades after the fact. I guess the only way to do this is with real, VERIFIED statements of...

    Profit Factor

    Thorough backtesting would have answered that immediately. If the backtesting had no periods of low PF, then your testing sample was inadequate....or as you said, the "market changed".

    Profit Factor

    Yep, you alluded to it, but didn't "nail it". The likely problem is you are getting stopped out for many small losses. That will quickly kill your Profit Factor.

    Why I think Java will take the lead over C++

    Free is worthless if not properly supported. Is Oracle going to support Java ? Does anyone know ? Of course not, only Larry knows that. C# Dot-Net is becoming the Windows platform standard programming language. You cannot separate the two. Visual Studio 2010 is one impressive platform for...

    Excel 2010 x64

    Yes, just save the workbook as XLSX or XLSM format. Unfortunately you'll need to get used to the "Ribbon" interface. However, someone did create an addin that provides the old style menu bar system in XL 2007, 2010. You should be able to Google it. The VBA menues are the same.

    Excel 2010 x64

    Well, to do it, you've got to shut down a lot of automatic facilities and do them on a timer instead. Make the calculations update manually, lock the worksheet, kill the screen updating, etc. Once you do that, it's pretty fast. Its automatic the event handling that really slows it down.

    Excel 2010 x64

    Doubtful...mainly because none of the 2010 speed increase is due to improvements in VBA....it's all in the formulas. VBA remains STA (single threaded architecture). Relative to Java and Dot-Net, it's slow. You are talking 2-3 milliseconds per symbol....that's pretty fast.
