    Ralph Acampora Is A Bear!!!

    Unfortunately he is often incorrect. There is a lot of cash on the sidelines waiting to go somewhere .... it is an open question as to where it will go however. I think we will know fairly soon as to whether this will wash into US markets or elsewhere ...

    Cme, Bot

    You have to remember that Globex really started development in 1986 - which the mutations thereafter . It took the CME 10 years to get this right. It was a GIGANTIC investment ... although it did pay off.

    any advice for recent top 5 mba grad?

    Hmm .... As someone else here said .... your were most likely asked - as a condition of admission - why you were pursuing an MBA. At these types of schools they dont just take your money. It is expected and required that the SCHOOL wins in the deal. That is, that you will benefit them down the...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    Probably not much since anyone in property in Ca for more than 6 years has more than doubled their paper worth..... most san diegans are in the same situation as people all over the metro areaas - LA/Orange County, Bay Area. Essentially most of them cant afford to transact their properties and...

    What if today's children grew up and repudiated their parents' debts?

    Hmm.. What was that ? Oh ... well that whole diatribe from Arnot just put me to sleep. Sounds like he has been talking with Bill ...... Many a discussion on Grand Unified theories or String theory would be more interesting .... well, maybe not. I wonder if Arnot really believes that his...

    How to play a multi-year real estate bull market

    well, I know it sounds heartless to raise rents but the whole rental equation is based on the ability to increase rents to keep a steady profit or increase your profits.... And, I'm not sure you are really squeezing anyone .... if you raise rents too much people will move, or in the...

    Windows OneCare Live - potential Norton Killer?

    $soft noticed that a few small startups were making some money on this idea and they recognized that this idea could possibly generate a way to develop a cross sell opportunity once they built up their customer base. Thus a threat to $soft means buy or copy the competitors to put them out of...

    Sharing Automated Trading System Design or Code?

    Well .... Yes ...The normal flavors of Kalman filtering techniques can veer offcourse in highly nonlinear situations ... however, in many cases there is no need for the unscented version ... although as you know the algorithm is in many ways just better with respect to implementation and is a...

    How to play a multi-year real estate bull market

    This is a great post and probably the first one I have seen here that provides any value on what you actually need to do to make money in real estate. ... And there is really never any "Top" in real estate because there are always areas/sectors that can still cash flow or that have longer...

    Housing Rolling Along 2

    It really does not seem to me that things have crashed in So. Ca. I still see good properties selling... but the first sign of the beginning of the downturn (perhaps) is that less than perfect properties are not selling .....

    Sharing Automated Trading System Design or Code?

    I am surprised that you would tackle such an enormous task - unless I am missing something writing general purpose solvers is no simple task . I have written a couple for commercial products from scratch - outside of the BLAS. I really have not had any issues using Atlas nor interfacing with...

    Windows OneCare Live - potential Norton Killer?

    Disagree - they essentially copied it from a product model that I created long before they decided it was a good idea. I have since sold the company. Another example of copy rather than innovate.

    Donald Trump is doing seminars now

    Why does a supposed Billionaire need to do seminars ? On this news I would have two questions: (1) What does he plan to make on his seminar business ? It seems that he is no longer interested in his other ventures. If I was his business partner I would not be happy. How much time is he...

    Windows OneCare Live - potential Norton Killer?

    You pay for a product, the product has flaws, you pay again to update it, and then you pay again to protect yourself from the flaws..... hmmm .... If the entire world of products worked this way we would really be in trouble. .... My goal is to try to limit my costs and this model sure...

    The Beginning of Giving Houses Away.

    Seems to be a world wide issue ..... The day you cant get people to slave away on subsistance wages - e.g. all their take home income is gone with housing expense taking most of it - then the market will reverse. In california it basically takes a household income of 300K per year to live...

    Calculus- Useful in Systems?

    OK. Well, the implication of this statement is that you have the situation all wrapped up and that the magical world of mathematics is that holy grail. The problem is that many markets behave in all sorts of ways: they dont fit neatly into any particular analysis. Yes, periodic functions...
