    I sense a rally in the market

    New York Stock Exchange is on life support

    I look at it this way , you pay a doctor for his knowledge about your ailments , you should be able to pay for good sound advise about stock market as well . Either that or we'd have a bunch of uninformed investing their own money and we see how that goes with most of day traders out...

    How do you choose stocks for daytrading?

    New York Stock Exchange is on life support

    Although it is great to reminisce , one must conclude that the NYSE was lax in it's attempt to compete ..... they had access to all the so called big wigs on capital hill , yet did not use those resources ...... tech is here to stay , I am sure you can find away with those deep pockets to mix...

    New York Stock Exchange is on life support

    As far as a 44% erosion in profits of NYSE , please remember if you back out the charge for the failed merger it is more like 17%. Article talks of heyday on NYSE , but fails to correlate the fact that in it's heyday with 90% retention of market share in it's own stocks THE NYSE was only...

    Index constituent weightings and implied volatilities

    No, if the correlation were +1, then the vol would be about 22.9%, not 22.5%. Take the weighted average of the vars, not the vols. Then take the square root of that to get the basket vol.

    Why do I see "Trends" in Randomly Generated Data?

    Bill, are you trying to usurp Mark Brown as the ET Village Idiot? Markets prices can be modeled as samples from a lognormal distro, not the distro itself. Sampled lognormals often look pareto in the tails: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PowerLawTailsInLogNormalData/ And a geometric...
