Willingness to bare pain and fade moves is not an edge. In fact, it's what 98% of the people on this site do. LOL.

USD/CAD....still looking good with weak oil.

#2 doesn't exist. LOL.

I would edit these. 1) Liquidity or order flow (market maker). Important to make this distinction as you need to have priority to capture bid/offer spreads. Arbitrage also falls in this category as it's a function of being able to capture bid/offer spreads. You usually can't get an arb by...

I know it's not perfect and there is abuse in the system and quite frankly, most of these people who are trying to cheat the system will be rewarded with a lifetime of poverty. We can't save everyone and we have to accept the fact that most these people will choose to stay in poverty and work...

Several did. But you might be surprised how many didn't and who they were: http://truecostblog.com/2009/08/09/countries-with-universal-healthcare-by-date/

I could give two shits about wealth distribution. I care about long term costs. THAT is where the real distribution occurs. Yes, the Finnish model is much more efficient and by efficient I mean the long term costs to society will be far less and in fact, there will be less wealth...

No, the admin costs are tremendous. It's a technology device and like all technology it has to work or it's rendered useless. Giving out 330 million cards would be a nightmare. Look at how difficult it was to get the healthcare.gov website working properly. What did that cost...100...

Uh, there wouldn't. I don't think you understand. Let me walk you through this. Food stamps are delivered by what is known as an EBT card. It's like a credit card. You go to the cash register, you give the cashier your EBT card and they deduct from the balance on the card. You can...

Yes, but those food stamps have to be used on food. If it were simply cash they could spend it at Best Buy.

Of course this will never happen. That was the point I was making. While in "theory" this method might appear efficient and save money, in the real world, we get hit twice. This is in fact what really happens in gov't. We come up with a subsidy or benefit for a particular group to...

Come on man, there are so many papers written on this...take your pick: http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/1999/march/monetary-policy-and-the-great-crash-of-1929-a-bursting-bubble-or-collapsing-fundamentals/ "Motivated by a concern about speculation in the...

Guys, we already have this in the US times 100. I do agree to simplify this whole mess we just eliminate ALL benefits and give people an annual check. The dems in this country would NEVER support this because the idea of partialing out the benefits is what begets votes. Black people get...

Energy capital of the world. I used to live in FL many many years ago. I'm sure it's changed a lot since then. Have a good New Year Surf!

Yes, I already have this. Yes, this is meaningful. Years ago a buddy of mine did the work on TS that did all sorts of combinations of this output. More recently, a few fellas on this very thread did a version of this for me. There are endless ways you can use this information. But...

The cost of college in 10 years will be zero. In fact, it's already zero. You can replicate a degree for free through MOOCs currently. It's just not "socially acceptable" yet. Meaning there is still some stigma that the online education is not a "real" education which I completely...

How did this event go? Any ET'ers come out of their caves? I would have loved to make it but no longer live in Chicago. I hope Nitro made it out.
