Whatever happened to Range Rover/AK47? Did you guys finally scare him off?

Bring a product to market? You think no one would have bought a Tesla without the help of the government? Come on. The Tesla was built by the rich for the rich. Hell he already had record pre-sales before the first car was even built. And I voted for Johnson. I get offended when...

That's a load of shit. Steve Jobs didn't need "help". Sergie Brin at GOOG didn't need help. Larry Elison didn't need "help". If you want to "help" so bad, why don't you underwrite the risk. Using taxpayer money is not very "libertarian" now is it Mr. Gary Johnson voter. I also didn't...

I got tired of beating up the left wing moonbats. It felt like I was assaulting handicapped children and honestly I felt guilty. So now I pick my spots. This thread was particularly absurd so I stopped by to throw a few punches. :)

Hey stock777, you are switching back to your old alias? Why now?

Yes, all the data is downloadable. And I mean ALL of it.

Mike, let me help you out here. NC is doing the same thing Reagan did in the 80's when he put tariffs on Japanese cars to protect American jobs. Tesla is not competing in the free market. It's a tax subsidized car. Neither republicans or democrats are interested in seeing jobs gets lost in...

No, you need to be careful when analyzing data. One, you have to know the distribution of the data and where the tails "usually" are. Two, you need to know how rare the tails are. Three, everything is relative. So you need to know where your mean is. And four, not all high and low readings...

Here are the cliff notes: ise sentiment index The ISE Sentiment Index is a unique put/call value that only uses opening long customer transactions to calculate bullish/bearish market direction. Opening long transactions are thought to best represent market sentiment because investors...

There is no edge. It's a lot like religion. It's a system of belief. Belief is very powerful. If it can drive one to fly a plane into a building, it can certainly convince one that selling 10 delta spreads has an edge. And the funny thing about belief is that no amount of reasoning will...

I guess I better re-light the pilot light on this thread. It burns out from time to time. LOL. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-05-14/bonds-suffer-worst-4-days-10-years-nikkei-tops-15000-first-time-jan-2008 ZH has an interesting piece on the JGBs. Ultimately this is what is going to...

Here is the deal. I watch the sentiment readings like a hawk. Especially since we have blown through every technical level known to man. And the fact is, there are still too many bears. Market tops happen usually when everyone is leaning too long. I watch AAII and the ISEE index and as...

Nitro, haven't you read Ray Kurzweil's book on singularity? This stuff will happen a lot sooner then 50 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

+1 Yeah right? Who the hell was watching Murphy Brown? I guess Convertibility was. Explains a lot.

I think they should have come up with a better name for the show. I missed all the earlier episodes because I thought it was going to be come cop show. LOL. It's funny because the only reason I discovered the show is that I tivo Real Time and for some reason, it always records VICE right...

A couple of things here about Taleb. One, there is this misconception that his strategy is to bet on crashes. And that his strategy is simply to buy DOTM puts. However, that comes from a serious misunderstanding of what he actually does. First of all, his funds that carry his name that are...

ICE is launching 4 new contracts this month on credit default swaps based on the Markit CDX and Markit iTraxx indices. Both reflect corporate credit spreads and will settle into cash. CME launched a few of these last year but are barely trading. ICE will probably fare a little better.

This was also a great episode on what's going on with the youth in Greece and Spain. The financial news media likes to talk about the DAX making new highs everyday and how the central banks have everything under control. Well, the central banks have nothing under control. This is going to get...
