    At a minimum with just tracking cookies they can track every web page you visit, forms you fill out, and everything you search for.

    A trend trading question

    Jack I have noticed you like to reference documents and white papers on various topics and suggest them for reading but you never provide a link and I have not been able to find any of them. Could you please start posting links?

    Trends in random data

    The problem in this argument is the difference between actual buyers and sellers and POTENTIAL buyers and sellers. In a sense they are both right. For any item to change hands for money there has to be BOTH a buyer and a seller, but the number does not necessarily have to be equal. If I had...

    options and stk price movement

    I am just curious why you would want to be in a synthetic long trade at all? If you think the stock is going to go up why use a synthetic and expose yourself to the downside risk when you could just buy the call option to limit your downside risk while still maintaining the unlimited upside...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    To be honest I do not know how they obtain their data. What is obvious though, is if they can tell a customer (web site owner) the kind of information that they claim to be able to provide, then it means that somehow they are able to correlate enough information about the web sites visitors...

    Trends in random data

    I think a large part of the reason TA works and actually works pretty well is that so many people, including many institutions and automated traders use it, that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Think about it, if enough people/systems are looking at a price reversal at the same or similar...

    Crazy airport security theater affecting travel & economy?

    I think the scanners would be more effective and cause less controversy if they were modified to scan down to the bone level. This would make them more effective since it could then detect bombs and other implants in body cavities as well as find the external stuff like knives or guns. It would...

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    The problem I have is that there are still jobs that no one is taking. I just hit monster.com and looked at California (probably one of the hardest hit states) and found over 1000 jobs (note: monster will not return more than 1000 so I can't get a total count). Then I narrowed down my search...

    Oh by the way how many of you knew that this site (yes ET) allows quantserve.com to run scripts on your computer (unless you have them blocked with NoScript like I do)? Take a look at what Quantum captures and reports: http://www.quantcast.com/

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    Google absolutely DOES track everything. That is why I use Firefox with the NoScript plug-in and have googlesyndication, googleadsense, google-anaylitics, and all other google tracking scripts permanently blocked. You would be shocked to see how many tracking, analytical, traffic reporting...

    neither TA not FA?

    Unless you just randomly picked two items to trade at the same time, you had to do some analysis based on technical data to determine the relationship between the pairs. You could choose to trade Microsoft and Ford as a pair but you still have do some technical analysis to determine what if any...

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    who are these? Democrats what name are they going by? Progressives what policies are they advocating? They vote "against anything that will support the economy" They like to push programs that weaken the dollar, promote unemployment, force more people into dependency on government...

    Why? You know someone will eventually do it as a form of protest. Besides I drive psychiatrists crazy. ; )

    Crazy airport security theater affecting travel & economy?

    I keep waiting for some smart ass to approach a full body scanner wearing a trench coat and drop it off to reveal that he is completely nude as he walks through it...saying: "You wanted to see me naked, well here I am." It would be awesome if a female did it, but there are not too many female...

    neither TA not FA?

    I would count that as TA since you have to have technical data to calculate any statistics. It would probably not be considered "Traditional" TA though.

    options and stk price movement

    As nazzdack mentioned this is only in "theory". The problem is no matter how you get to a delta of 1 you still can't get an exact movement dollar for dollar with the underlying. No matter how you get to a delta of 1 time decay and volatility will still affect accuracy.
