    CNBS took 20 minutes to report the plane shot down

    Well I don't know what happened for sure so at least the data recorders would show objective data or would be hidden, presumably by guilty parties. I prefer to work with facts when they exist.

    CNBS took 20 minutes to report the plane shot down

    Good news is that two flight recorders seem to have been found from the wreckage. Do both record the same flight information? If so, perhaps one could be sent to a NATO partner (the Netherlands) and the other independently to China. If there is a third, give it to Malaysia.Transcripts could...

    Reaction to Michael Lewis's book and "60 Minutes" interview

    That may not work since nobody in the financial system seems to know what that word "honor" means IMO.

    Well this certainly explains a lot! LOL

    CNBS took 20 minutes to report the plane shot down

    The really odd thing is that I read that the colors for a plane of Malaysian Airlines look very similar to Russian plane colors. So then, why would the rebels shoot at a plane showing Russian colors inside Ukrainian airspace? I don't know who did this, but I did immediately think back to TWA...

    SEC suspends trading CYNK technologies, possible manipulation

    YW. That matter of degree would most likely be a legal degree IMO. For example - insider trading congress - legal, the rest of humanity - illegal. Does that clear it up for you? I don't know why it is so hard to grasp. “If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know...

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    Thanks for that post. I should clarify that I am not saying that linkln had anything to do with incorrect emails being sent. Only that I am CERTAIN that the people who supposedly sent them did not send them to me. Without that clue, I would never have known something was wrong. Facebook...

    SEC suspends trading CYNK technologies, possible manipulation

    Easy .... this stock is possibly being manipulated. The other stocks have a plunge protection team behind them, not to mention QE, always up Tuesdays, an army of talking heads constantly asking if this is the time to buy, liquidity providers, corporations buying their own shares to fund their...

    Science versus the gut

    While I agree with your comments somewhat, it seems that many system traders will attempt to force their "the market has rules" beliefs on others. I suspect so that they will feel safe and in control. In fact, many newbies will tell you something like .... the market has to go down because...

    Science versus the gut

    +1 .... and isn't that precisely what trading is ... dealing with other people? Or even worse, could it be, that one trades against one's self, one's beliefs, one's perceptions and that there is no objective out there, out there.

    Science versus the gut

    At the outer reaches of STEM, it is fascinating to me that the world shows a more ethereal (is it real?) character IMO. For example, the current Quantum Mechanics thinking is that the entire world may be a projection (perception) and not real in the objective sense. Mind affects everything we do...

    Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

    I suspect that crooks often appear in trading since even the intakes into the investment houses suffer from the 95-5 rule of success. If trading were so easy, then why pay so much? (Burger flippers don't get paid that well.) Many edges appear as humans find easier methods of making money than...

    Looks like Victor Niederhoffer blew up again

    It is better for a good trader to out-humble the market and then one can't be humbled by it. My first big surprise lesson (two decades or more ago) was when everything was working so well in my trading. I thought I had found the magic key. Now I tend to get suspicious when I earn a lot in a...

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    Glad to hear it worked out. I have changed the service level on my "bad" email address to junk and moved most people out to other ones. It's the one that I now hand out to untested sources. You are not the only one annoyed with the spam sent -...

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    There are of man-in the-middle hacks (for example - http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.ca/2013/10/how-nsa-hacked-google-and-yahoo-part.html) and ucode hacking issues in URLs (and many many more). I am not trying to exaggerate the point, merely demonstrate that the art of hacking magic...

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    If they have covertly checked out non-linkln application data, then what other data has been checked out. How did you verify that they are really linkedln web addresses? Did you access the DNS or use a sniffer? (http://www.coderanch.com/t/358827/Servlets/java/hiding-URL-address-fake)

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    Perhaps a pleasantly worded request to the NSA to take you off of their backup services would help? LOL - Just kidding.

    How to deal with LinkedIn spam?

    I have gotten lots of fake emails from Linkedln that were definitely not sent by the named persons. (I contacted them by telephone directly and verified that they did not send me anything from linkln. Most were having virus problems in other applications at the time.) The fake emails began over...
