You don't need to keep an open mind, he simply can't.

You're on the road for the Nobel Prize in Economics... ...and perhaps the one in Physics as you just demonstrated how easy it is to go against the entropy principle... :D

Perhaps an example ???

Is that a surprise ? ....

You can interpret it as you want, that's more philosophy than real maths. Usually axioms are set AFTER having developed or experienced a theory, whatever in maths or physics. They correspond to a comon observation of certain facts. But you can take whatever axiom you want and develop a theory on...

That's why they are 'axioms'...

I don't agree with supply and demand theory. Actually I make most of my money in trading disagreeing with this economical principle.

First clever post I find on this thread. Question : you are talking about linear, two points, correlations. What about the rest of all possible correlations ?

Incredible, my horoscope predicted it : Gemini : you will be very sarcastic in the next few days. I'll have to believe in horoscopes from now on...

You seem to be a pro of statistical significance. Congrats...:cool:

That's exactly what I say. For the moment being, M$ is unable to live on something else than windows and office.

Isn't 100$/month the minimum fees you must have in commission, using FIX being free ?

What do you care about java or anything else ? If speed is a real issue, the only thing you need is a direct line between your own trading software and IB's servers. Discussing questions of speed on a graphical interface is just a nonsense. IB : we need an API not relying on an unreliable...

Interested in investment banking ? Have some decent reads like "liars'poker" or "monkey business". Want to run a hedge fund ? I think noone will remember what they are when you'll reach the age to run a HF... Want trading ? Keep an eye on the computer next to you. He might take your job...

...or the system itself.... how would the buyer know ?

Sorry, but have a look a the numbers, and you will perhaps understand better : M$ is UNABLE for the moment to make money out of its traditional business (look at the mobile devices, and xbox products, and ask yourself how much MSN costs and how much it brings....)

Most of these books are pure garbage. No value information, and poor 'trading culture' content.

It seems people are switching to linux not just because they hate M$... http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/8231

I think the company 'M$' will stay, but not for what we know it nowadays. They will have to rethink themselves very quickly (I would give a 5 years time horizon). Just imagine if linux or/and macintosh take 25% of their business, this would really cancel all their earnings and force them to...

That's quite a typical answer. Don't you think this means that M$ has a dominant position on the market and as such, the only growth it can obtain is the growth of computer users, while the others are taking M$ market share ?
