You're using an adaptive cycle period and half a full cycle for your signal right? Not sure if I ever looked at that very thoroughly maybe superficially. I don't recall seeing much promise to cause me to go digging much deeper but that doesn't preclude the possibility there is a gem waiting to...

From what I've heard from air stewardesses, China Airlines does have one of the poorer reputations for safety. But it was my understanding China Airlines is a Taiwanese outfit.

PE analysis seems to strike me as sound when combined with real interest rate and forex analysis. In nominal terms US may be okay for a while. Going forward, in real and relative terms investors in US markets look like they may be in for a whole lot of pain.

Maybe it will be better to look in 3 years time.

Time to inhale some smelling salts, clear your mind, and pinch yourself to make sure you are fully awake. Not good to find yourself down hundreds of thousands after waking up from a daze like some of those people calling into CNBC during the dotcom bust.

Clinton years look pretty good. Reagan years look pretty good. Bush years look pretty flat. Debt has gone up.

The more people come up with these bits of innuendo the more I end up respecting her. Maybe something that deserved more space was the falling out between Dick Morris and Bill Clinton. Is there a Wikipedia entry for that?

Great call. So are we supposed to cover short on Tuesday?

Is ID based on science? If not it has no place in a science subject. Topics like ID are what philosophy and theology classes are for.

I still don't get the Intelligent Design argument. Natural selection / adaptation seems to be sufficient reason explaining the evolutionary process. Whether evolution is the result of intelligence or fluke is a separate question.

So if you see something you think is being done badly and your opinion is later sought you should keep your mouth shut? While they are in office I think the loyalty and chain of command argument makes some sense but why should they hold their tongues afterwards? Should loyalty to this...

Talk about a return on investment for Al-Qaida. For an investment of a mere $100000 they have been able to affect over $100 billion in losses to their enemy. Considering the damage Americans have inflicted upon themselves since 9/11, could it be that in hindsight the best thing Americans...

The BBC may be going a little too PC in that case but as is seen it is pointed out very quickly by another British media outlet. The ensuing debate will lead to the situation correcting itself. From what I know such a discussion on tactics did not even play out in the US. Weakness? Is an...

I didn't hear about this. As far as I know terrorists can still be called terrorists. What I heard is that the new administration is dropping the use of the phrase "war on terror". This actually makes a lot of sense. To portray the level of conflict to the scale of a "war" is to give the...

It seems there is someone here who doesn't understand what makes Buffett such a great investor. There are many people over the years who have had yearly returns much greater than Buffett but there are not many who have shown as much skill at consistently year after year NOT LOSING money.

The Brits can deal with their problems any way they see fit. In truth they are probably more experienced in these kinds of things than the US. Appeasement? Who is being appeased? Political correctness? One should first prove that it is detrimental in this case. Sacrifice of principles...

Again I don't understand what you are trying to say. First off you are attacking Buffett not his argument. Regarding his argument you don't seem to be saying much. Regarding Buffett you are implying he has less than noble motives for expressing his views. As has been stated sparohok...

If what I see is a pack of wolves out for blood underneath the self-righteous rhetoric then that's what I'll call it. You want proof? You yourself are so blinded by your thirst for a public hanging that you fail to realize that I could care less how the Republicans will suffer embarassment...

Depends upon the circumstances of the case. I'm a generally forgiving person. I have empathy because given the circumstances it appears he was in I can understand how things may have snowballed. Funny how being a realist can lead one to show some compassion being an idealist doesn't allow for...

Libby is a political errand boy and scapegoat. If there is someone to punish it is his political masters. Libby's transgressions are worse than Clinton's but no less understandable. Not surprisingly I thought the impeachment case against Clinton was trash. Libby's case is being turned into a...
