    ADSK

    This is a survey of CAD users. Autocad doesn't even have the largest market share. Also if it was a monopoly it would be able to put up its prices....The management doesn't seem to be able to do that.

    ADSK

    Earning have been falling for the last decade and management can't figure out how to change that. 0.35% of shares are held by insiders - hardly a vote of confidence....

    Any Techies out there who can help me with this

    Buy an external hard drive and install Linux Mint on it. Boot up using Linux and start backing up all your files onto the external drive. Once you have got everything working, install Mint on your internal hard drive. This is the only long term solution. Otherwise you will just go round in an...

    Who wants to start a Hedge Fund?

    Richard Dennis put the turtle rules into the public domain, because he didn't think anyone would be able to consistently follow them. And he was right. He couldn't follow them himself which is why he blew up. Warren Buffet early in his career was terrified that people would steal his ideas but...

    Who wants to start a Hedge Fund?

    The regulatory hurdles to setting up a hedge fund today are enormous. You need to raise several hundred million dollars to start with. I don't have that money and don't know how to raise it. An interesting alternative might be to set up an open source hedge fund. That is an algorithmic fund...

    I will have to order 2 thermometers. Once the experiment is set up I will report back on this thread, if anyone is interested. It would be great if others would try this experiment or devise a better one if possible....

    Global Warming: For Experts Only

    Silver

    I shorted GBP/XAG just before Brexit and made a nice profit. Other than that I've always lost money with silver. I actually thought Remain would win, but bought silver rather than making an outright bet. Ed Seykota didn't do well with silver and some of the other market wizards too...

    Global Warming: For Experts Only

    Its not clear how one can distinguish between natural and anthropogenic emissions. Animal agriculture, deforestation, desertification are all contributing to rising CO2 and are caused by humans. There is almost no part of the globe that is not affected by human activities. Fossil fuels are a...

    "I'm not off the Trump train, Trump is off the Trump train".

    Trump's function is to distract people by keeping the focus on his hair, his tweets etc and away from the real questions. He performs that job very well.

    Global Warming: For Experts Only

    Just as a matter of interest how did you get the actual paper? I only read the abstract. It has been critiqued on the following grounds: •These conclusions stem from methodological errors and from not recognizing the impact of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation on inter-annual variations in...
