    Quadriga Superfund - Managed Futures

    Trend following is dead, don't you know that? Just don't tell this guy: http://www.abrahamtrading.com/perform2.htm He probably thinks that 22.4% compounded over 19 years with only 3 down years actually means something.

    The market cannot defeat you

    Wise words. Take bell curve of results. Cut off left side with sharp knife. Keep right side open. Do this ten thousand times.

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    p.s. duh... guess I should have clicked the link first. "We found increased amounts of adrenalin, a sign of stress, in the blood of patients who knew strangers were praying for them," notes Dusek, who is also associate research director of the Mind/Body Medical Institute. "It's possible that...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    I wonder if the patients who knew they were being prayed for also knew about the "spiritual warfare" implications of the study. Talk about adding performance pressure at an inconvenient time... "Get better to prove that God is good, or you'll be letting everyone down." Heck, even without...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Remember, though, that proof is in the eye of the beholder. In my view, the most powerful proof against Christianity is simply that it doesn't work. It doesn't perform as advertised. They may be few and far between, but Christianity still offers up a handful of testable claims. "And...

    "Why won't God heal amputees?"

    Eh... this from the holy messiah, the Christ himself, reincarnated on a trader's message board? As the esteemed philosopher B-Real of Cypress Hill once said: Insane in the membrane. Insane in the brain. There are some traces of truth in your words, O Bizarrely Self Deluded One...
