I did not say "without" calculators :D I said you didn't have to have the financial caclulator. It's not worth what they charge for it. I agree that any student should invest in a quality calculator, but I think it should be a general scientific one. You would not believe how many students I...

If the prevailing rate drops to 6%, the bonds will go up in value (remember the inverse relationship?) But the will go up to different extents – b/c, as you’ll learn later they have different “durations”, the zero coupon bond’s duration is exactly 10 years, it’s shorter for the...

OH, YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!! I just finished teaching a section of the intro freshmen level finance and a section of the senior level investments. Dude, those ARE intro level problems :-) If it is a grad level course, then you should reconsider the sensibility of having picked that school...

Never been to NY, but can you really "hit every club on the town" with just 8 grand?? :confused: EDIT: Oh, sorry, got it, you were not talking about clubs in NYC... Sorry, just read the post too fast :D

Seems like almost everyone uses technical analysis and chart analysis interchangeably. What I do is probably 99% technical. I don't have to see the charts at all to do it....

You do have a point, the other 9 might stick their tails between their legs and leave... for now. I don't think they'll change their attitudes for better though. Besides, having seen what those psychos are doing, I don't think you can scare them by getting rid of the "biggest bully". Alas...

Of course man! They keep saying he's on the verge of developing nukes.... Come on! He probably has had them for the last ten or fifteen years! What is there to develop??? The wheel has been invented a long time ago. He has bought either the nukes all assembled, or paid someone for the...

Thanks. Yes, I am aware of window dressing by funds. What I was asking was a bit more short term, and more on the rational/productive/logical side of their actions. I was thinking that if a large fund has a position in some security and it changes value, up or down drastically within a given...

Questionable, to put it mildly. But I'll let it slide... :) How many of you (Eastern Europeans)were there to "win without the big reds"? :) Or did you mean that other BIG nations would win (not without the US help)? Seems like the latter is more likely - in which case you should have said...

... I just finished watching Eraser staring good ole Ahnuld. I'd like to paraphrase a passage for you from it: "Smile, you've just been IGNORED." :cool: ...Smth I should have done a long time ago.

????

Thanks for the support :) I couldn't agree more with you on the theory vs. history distinction. My stock is probably very volatile though (small cap :( :)), but hey, at least it's not perfectly correlated with the rest of the bunch - should work good for diversification :D

Dude, if someone is delusional, it's <b>YOU</b>. You obviously don't know history much. My grandma was taken as a little girl and shipped on a train to work as a home slave for some German assh#le in the Naziland. Many were killed and tortured. One of my greatgrandfathers learned that his...

They did, my childhood was a happy as any could be. I was born in 1976...

B/c it never failed :D It was a confluence of historic events, poor execution, and exogeneous influences from outside the country. The system never failed. One case of it's implementation might have...

That guy in the smoky room (the economists that did the central planning were among the brightest people on this planet, by the way, and it was not as simple and/or arbtitrary as you depict :)), had VERY good information as to the costs of producing yogurt all over the country. He also had a...

First of all, I'M NOT RUSSIAN! I'm Ukrainain, Russia did a LOT of bad things to Ukraine too (the starvation to 1933 is an extreme example). Secondly, gee, let me guess, you must be from Chech Republic or Poland or somewhere close :) Yes, we did strip your country of resources after the war...

Hey guys, since some of you have extensive industry exprience, I figured you might know this quite well: if there's a sizeable change in the value of some stock that large funds are invested in, when do they tend to rebalance those positions??? Are there some rules/regulations/common practices...

Weird, I've always thought TA was one the most <b>subjective</b> approaches. Two people will look at the same chart and will have different opinions, both thinking they are right. Does it get any more subjective than that? :D

I was looking at ILA thinking of maybe buying it when it was about to close around 2.10 or so... A friend of mine came in and I told him about the temptation and that it didn't fit two of the strategy criteria but looked OK otherwise... He was like, I don't see why you should, but if you do and...
