Well, just to continue this completely unproductive discussion a bit further, I find myself wondering whether he's more weird than malicious. If it's more the former, then he may merely seem condescending, when he's actually just kind of nuts, and not necessarily very intelligent. Or maybe he...

Don't really care whether I get a response from wild... I'd put him on ignore, except that he's one of those people (if, indeed, he is a human being) whose posts I'd rather be able to monitor. Maybe because once upon a time I took some of that typical wild stuff seriously - I mean many years...

Wild signs every one of his posts with "regards," and yet there's nothing about his posts that demonstrates any collegiality or congeniality, or, for that matter, any "regard" whatsoever for the intelligence, sensitivities, interests, or individualities of the rest of us. Nor does he, except...

War almost always results from an "overdetermination" of conditions, and - from a bloodlessly abstract, information-theoretical perspective - can be seen as the forced simplification of an unbearable complexity. Precisely because the course of events has defied reduction to a single set of...

...getting involved in these Internet discussions - featuring individuals extrapolating wildly on the basis of minimal real evidence, then inevitably getting caught up in personal side-skirmishes - but... 1) Having seen slo-mo video of a plane crashed at high speed into a fixed object, the...

Well, I'm not sure you fully got the point about biological imperatives, and it's probably my own fault for being too elliptical. Unfortunately, exploring all of the different ways that the functioning of the brain - from the constitution and early development of neurons, through the behavior...

Depends on whether or not you're a brokerage client and how actively you trade. Check the site, for details. Intraday historical included. http://www.tradestation.com/fees/platform.shtm You might want to wait a few days for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT (January 4, last I heard) regarding the...

Well...then come back tomorrow...dude... Oh yeah, and Happy New Year back to T4A and to you and everyone else, and thanks again for first recommending the Penrose book to me however many aeons ago.

Indubitably - and that's just in the publically available material. One might argue that the evolution of an adult-level human intelligence rests not on 20 years or interaction with the real world, but on something closer to a few billion years of same. Evidence and persuasive theoretical...

...of low economic growth, and the arguments for dividends might start looking a lot smarter.

"I don't really see how [fill in the blank] can go much lower." Though that would make 2002 the third consecutive year for that remark, and third consecutive tie with "If it goes any lower, I'm backing up the truck!" The only drawbacks with those is that they can be "dumbest" for...

I'm not convinced that neural networks and other forays into AI have successfully emulated the functioning of the brains of "lower" animals: I'll grant that there's been some limited success in imitating certain functions, but no one, to my knowledge, has yet developed a computer that...

Your wish is my command: Here's a link to the earlier post, which you may have missed, comparing the intraday 3-min bars of the QQQ and the NQ in percentage range terms. I don't intend to make too big a deal out of it, as there are obviously other explanations, but the fact remains that the...

Gee, you or a rat wouldn't mebbe think that a ca. 70-75% drop in the Nasdaq and similar or greater, uh, alterations in the price of former leadership stocks might just possibly have had something to do with reductions in the total absolute range (i.e., in points rather than percentages) of the...

Maybe a Ouija board would work, either for contacting Gann or for trading, or both. (Now, if I could just figure out how to back-test a Ouija board... TS is sooooo limited...)

You've defined the terms of your question in such a way that it approaches tautology.

You could try a more skeptical approach to your own language, for one thing. I personally do not believe that there is any trading approach that is not in some sense "technical" and that does not in some respect rely on the recognition of certain patterns - such as the "pattern" of...

If a mechanical application of MACD - by itself or even with the addition of some simple but credible profit-taking/loss-limiting system - did "hold up long term," then I'd have to think there was something very strange about the financial markets. Why would anyone think that the use of a...

Though Penrose, Hameroff, et al, have spent a lot of time examining the possibility that microtubules within neurons may play a critical role in cognition, through some some theoretical quantum mechanical and/or cellular-automatic process (a la Wolfram), this material remains controversial and...
