Maestro I'm a little unclear on what you are claiming Ashby proved. Different strategies applied to the same market or different markets? Do Ashby's finding conflict in any way with modern portfolio theory that pretty much encourages diversification to lower systematic risk?

The field of digital signal processing seems to make use of many of the more advanced smoothed adaptive moving averages. A proprietary one is the Jurik moving average. Other free ones to consider aside from VIDYA are a gaussian moving average and also Alan Hull's moving average.

Sorry but most of this sounds like a lot of zen voodoo.

So what really did the trick was bases. Maybe in a world where these former foes turned allies were defenseless and had an expansionist power like the Soviet Union neighboring them this makes sense but less so in the current world. As for your comment regarding Vietnam, if having 200000...

Well when you put it like that I guess I see some ways some ideas can be applied in regular charting programs. Still, correct me if I'm wrong, but a system based on a differential equation can be something as simple as one using MACD. Also what are ideas for dealing with...

Thanks for the link. :) I think may have even seen that textbook referred to previously when it was newly published. I assume to make use of these techniques requires specialized statistical software? MatLab, S, and the like? I think I abandoned this line of research when I figured...

So are you saying nonlinear methods in the main generally try to model changes in skedasticity and stationarity on top of the linear aspect? What are the frequent tools used in such analysis and modelling?

A while back I decided to look up some of the more academic methods and models used to conduct analysis on financial time series data. I saw the progression in linear statistical tools going from correlation, to ARMA, to ARIMA, and then to GARCH---and then found out implied volatility is...

A few years ago Buffett valued the brand value of Coca-Cola at greater than $100 billion. This deal probably refects some of that thinking.

Buffett was moving into foreign currencies as far back as 2002, has mentioned he doesn't understand much of the financial products out there in the wake of the AIG scandal, and said the rich should be taxed more. Jim Rogers was advocating commodities since 2000 and has moved to Singapore and...

Haven't read the entire thread but am I correct in thinking riskfreetrading that you've had a short bias on the EURJPY for the past month?

I saw a bit of that other thread so I was wondering why it seemed you were entering a new short position when I thought you already were short. It's clear now that you're daytrading. You trading an index or selected stocks?

When did you go long?

William Pesek says $200.

Vitamin A and Beta Carotene are a couple of the more toxic common vitamins. Not surprising that overdosing on them is bad. The Vitamin E link though is something new for me to file away. It's the vitamin related to fish oil right?

Mr. Greene's best man at his wedding was Mike Tyson. Tells you pretty much everything you need to know regarding this situation.

The thread starter of this thread and the one you referenced is the same.

How many stock competitions are there? How many people are known to brag about winning stock competitions? If the representations made are true the list of possibiliites narrows considerably. I don't actively seek out information of such things and don't know that much regarding the topic but...

Well it seems she was wrong about BSC, her later comments at least. Good analysis nonetheless but I do not see why everyone seems so enthused over it.

You are already much poorer than you were back when the dot com bust happened. You just don't see it on the chart because you are looking at the wrong chart. Look at a chart of the USD against virtually any other currency or commodity and you'll be looking at something closer to the truth...
