How on earth did you make that connection? The only parallels I see are challenges between living a hard life of honesty, and perhaps taking bribes under duress (with Jewish/Kaballah undertones). Not a bad movie (I watched it because of the Cohen brothers directing), but did not see any such...

Which one of those is your blog? Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job scriabinop, Good to see that there are people who actually research these things before passing on old wives' tales.

I tend to agree with this observation. There's no exact science to it, but it very much resembles the long sideways markets of the 70s. The question is when the big grind down will happen. Anyways, I often play devil's advocate to get people to challenge commonly held assumptions. I...

I think if you took the time to research your own comments, you might see that number 2) just signaled the very top of a 5 year bull run. Please cite your research or provide your own, so we can all agree on the 'facts.':cool:

'Finding Alpha', E Falkenstein. Although he discussed the rate increase phenom, I pretty much discovered the cut phenom on my own.

One of the more profound observations I came across reading a Quant book on alpha strategies, was that increasing rates is a sign the economy is improving. He showed that contrary to common thinking, as the rates start going up, the market tends to move in the same direction. Think of how...

I don't know if DSL has changed over the years, but years ago when I had it the performance was horrible (unreliable, dropouts, etc..). Reason being that it usually starts on the telephone wire (RJ11), which is a very poor conduit of high frequency information (was designed for 3khz voice...

I've been experimenting with the layout, so please have a look again. Thank you as it is sometimes hard to see the effect of different monitors.

Never found a trojan that combofix could not annihilate. And I've seen a few that pass flying colors through most of the AV scans. Be careful with combofix (you need to strictly follow the rules as it goes into regedit area), and I suggest to sign up on bullguard and have a moderator walk you...

Thanks for all the great commentary, suggestions, and feedback. I'll try my best to address most of the issues as I continue forward.

Rosy, Any classifier can tell you this. Classifiers are generally designed to infer the best nominal label output attribute (UP,DN, SIDEWAYS, for ex) given a historical input stimulus vector or matrix. The difficulty is in setting up and finding what input stimulus will provide the best...

Thanks for your thoughts. I know I would have loved to have somebody walk me through practical tutorials back when all that existed was some obfuscated 200 page dissertation on Machine Learning Kernel Basis Function derivations. Take for example a support vector machine, very difficult to...
