    Credit Union

    Oh man... this sort of arrangement has the potential of ending up on the wrong side of a pyramid (not saying it is, just that it can run into a whole of problems that banks supposedly have).

    No, I mean how to do you protect your sweep account from losses due to the failure of the bank with whom you have the sweep account?

    Credit Union

    Are these CDs covered by FDIC? I imagine not, right? How do you guys deal with default risk if you are just putting the cash into another bank? Maybe you can do some basic money market stuff like TBAs and agency debentures... but I doubt you'll earn that much more than 70bps for all your...

    Jack Hershey in trading vs Srinivasa Ramanujan in mathematics

    This is the part where he's going to post 1 or 2 very obscure, no longer printed, manuscripts by one Jack Hershey from long ago time. I have a theory that once upon a time Jack was an engineer of sort. He has long lost his marbles (or is simply a very elaborate hoax).

    Credit Union

    I see. $11mm is damn small for anything financial. I'm curious, since I know next to nothing about credit unions - where do you guys usually park your money when not lent to you members? tbills? Anyway, given credit union's usual mission, it's hard to see the board approving an aggressive...

    Economics for graduate school- NO Economics background?

    M in FE is VERY different from a PhD in econ; Different coursework, different focus, and different career paths. OP, just make sure you know what you want to do and don't end up accidentally in the other camp.

    Hedge funds famous for technical trading?

    Sigh.. It is not. And none of your post beneath this quote had anything to do with what we were talking about. I'll exit this discussion now. It's clear you have already done so.

    Hedge funds famous for technical trading?

    You appear to ignore the part where I explained the difference. I'll try again just in case you missed it the first time. "I think you appear to be working with the definition that anything that has is computed from price is t/a. In that case, everything is t/a. But that's not how the rest...

    Hedge funds famous for technical trading?

    I think you appear to be working with the definition that anything that has is computed from price is t/a. In that case, everything is t/a. But that's not how the rest of the world sees it. Statistical analysis is derived from some first principal model of reality (right or wrong). It...

    Hedge funds famous for technical trading?

    This is a rather simplistic view of stats.

    Hedge funds famous for technical trading?

    I disagree. My personal definition is that TA is doing stats like computation without applying the theories of statistics.
