so, did this thread become another discussion on TA? :D

why?

Do you have your daily goal?

Is it technically possible to implement such a system by eliminating trusted 3rd parties in trading (similar to how central banks/banks were eliminated in bitcoin)?

The same way game theory is used in regular trading- bartering. Basically, trading/HFT is a very simplistic form of bartering/exchange, right? What do you think?

since I've seen a couple of threads here about EW, just curious: can elliott wave principle explain bitcoin moves? If it can't, then why?

The problem, as with all technical studies, is that it will be very clear after the fact but making the judgement before hand will be a guessing game that you could get better at with practice but which will always be subject to the normal gyrations of the market

His name is Joe Campbell, and he claims he went to bed Wednesday evening with some $37,000 in his trading account at E-Trade. One notable development on the pharma front later, and Campbell woke up to a debt of $106,445.56. Now, he may end up liquidating his 401(k). And his wife’s. Now he...

any thoughts on this? http://www.coindesk.com/mit-media-lab-core-developers-multiple-bitcoin-implementations/

If you had a strategy that had tested well and then performed in live trading as predicted by your testing, and it had a maximum historical drawdown of 20% with no leverage, would you leverage it? If so, by how much?

I'm a huge fan of the http://canadiancouchpotato.com/ blog. I follow his models (I use the aggressive model as I am 28 - long time to go). His aggressive model is as followed 60% VXC, 30% VCN, 10% VAB. My question is, looking at VAB (Bonds ETF) it hasn't increased in value, other than some...

Why should I pay attention to volatility and correlation if I have a 40 year + investment horizon?

International has historically underperformed US indices. If you want to chase performance and hold no international, then that's your choice. There are plenty of threads here and on the Bogleheads forum (IMO those are much more valuable than the ones here) debating the topic.

Can anyone tell me how to ask a girl out using technical analysis? When she smiles at you twice, is that a double top or a double bottom?

so now it's 384 after a 500$ spike. any suggestions where it's headed?

Interesting thought, perhaps there is a 'natural' relative value between economies to which price eventually gravitates when the madness of crowds dies down. I suppose this 'balance point' might change gradually over time with long term macroeconomic and geopolitical changes, however that would...

In Colorado it seems to work. Why couldn't they just copy that expericence?

yeah, but on the other hand, bitcoin relies on the Internet to be functional, and if you are somehow severed from the power grid or the online community, your bitcoins will be worthless, even if you store them in physical form.

Found a couple of articles backing the idea of investing in bitcoins rather than gold. Well, IMO neither Gold nor Bitcoin are a sound investment. Gold is, at best, a hedge against fiat inflation. However, there are major problems because there's a lot of collusion and control over the price of...

IMO the industry is maturing rapidly and will look more like present day mutual funds. The 'front office' positions will be smaller and more mandate driven while functions to support business development (marketing, sales, risk) will grow but unfortunately without much of the upside potential...
