Is God a Taoist? http://www.newbanner.com/SecHumSCM/IsGodTaoist.html

Goldman Sachs gets a cover reference and a fawning lead, just as the mighty $XBD starts to crack...

Okay, thanks for that. I'll print this one out and think on it. Though you did spell it wrong... and saying "no offense" after you insult someone is a bit prickish, don't you think? Or perhaps the type of thing a well meaning twit would do. No offense, of course. (See?)

Pot. Kettle. Black. You routinely and continuously engage in practices that would be "red-flagged" in a judged debate, then feign surprise when hostility is returned with hostility and your lack of substance in reply is pointed out.

You really are getting quite predictable Jack. Whenever someone points out the folly of your arguments, you follow a four step process: 1) Insult the opponent in a hand-waving, insipid fashion that is too general and too vague to be directly refuted. 2) Assume powers of omniscience (in...

True--though one has to wonder about some of the publicity stunts: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12467604/?GT1=7938

This brings to mind another point: many great traders and investors are operating from a knowledge base that literally took a decade or more to build. How does one 'teach' experience? And if greatness is a process, how does one communicate the process of becoming great? ----------------...

I swear this is some kind of meta-level parody: http://www.devilducky.com/media/44860/

How to rid the world of all known diseases Monty Python's Flying Circus, Episode 28 (Cut to a sign saying 'How to do it'. Music. Pull out to reveal a 'Blue Peter' type set. Sitting casually on the edge of a dais are three presenters in sweaters - Noel, Jackie and Alan - plus a large...

Yes let's. The way the biggest and the best make money is sort of the point. Steve Cohen is on record in Stock Market Wizards as saying his best trader is only right 62% of the time (or somewhere in that neighborhood). The 'broad range of approaches' that multi-billion dollar funds employ...

There is dull power in structure as a result of energy expended. There is residual value in a constructed argument as a result of the time and energy spent in building that argument. One fellow could attack another with the Gospel of Barney the Purple Dinosaur, if he felt so inclined, and the...

Nice... brings to mind this [genuine] article: Einstein, Feynman and other famous swingers. http://www.seedmagazine.com/news/2006/03/getting_physical.php Late last year, researchers in England published a study purporting to establish a link between creative output and number of sexual...

Interesting stuff. My .02 after a quick read: The first piece relies on a bit of sophistry; whether or not man has "free will" is not as important as what man means when he makes reference to free will. If I say that I am free to choose vanilla ice cream over chocolate, I may actually be...

"Us?" Who do you work for exactly?

This is a great post, with good application to the topic: http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2006/03/truth-about-interviewing.html Think of programming as trading, and "the market" as the company conducting the interview. p.s. I have no affiliation to Steve Yegge p.p.s. An interesting...

George W. Bush Iraq update: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_lezEvy9T8&search=screwed

Your observation is perhaps keener than you realize. Consider the very first sentence: "I use simple mechanical systems to get people to understand the basic concept of making money steadily and with little or no risk." Anyone care to point out what is glaringly wrong with this claim? Not a...

I would hope its deeper than a few lines in a single post... :) Entanglement, do tell. Haven't heard that word in relation to markets before. You have hit on something important here methinks. There is a difference between depth and confusion. A truly deep paradigm is like a...

Incredible speech... on Al Jazeera no less, broadcast to the Muslim world in Arabic. This is one brave woman. Video here: http://www.memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=1050 Following are excerpts from an interview with Arab-American psychologist Wafa Sultan. The interview was aired on...
