    SocGen trader loses $4.9bil in vanilla stock futures

    This is largely the bank's false beside the trader's false. There is obviously a flaw in the bank's management process to allow a simple trader to lose in theory a very bigger stake like this one. While the Brokers, they have an efficient process to limit their lost resulting from the margin...

    Trading and Dating

    Maybe. It seems (I'm not quite sure) that consciously she is trying to change her man (control) but unconsciously she wants to be controlled. In other words, if she can control her man then she may view him as a weak man then she won't love him and on the contrary if she cannot control him...

    z=(1-x)*(1+y*x)

    Looks nice! Unfortunately, the other side aren't machine, they are human, meaning that their actions are not determinist and strictly depend on their mood; and therefore none of the known mathematical formula could predict their behavior.
