My theory is that Jack's profile on ET is just the hobby of some misanthropic programmer / failed trader who's created an artificial post generator seeded with several financial texbooks and a few on pricing securities. Here is a snippet that I put together with a simple 4th order Markov...

Golf a sport? WTF does it matter?

Interesting, but keep in mind that you're looking at a system that trades about once a year. Not a big sample size, might be worthy anyways.

Depends on the loan contract. Also, the right of bankruptcy gives the individual kind of a de facto non-recourse loan. You can BK out of a horrible situation, they can't come after you to harvest your kidneys. Personally, I don't think 7 years is enough. If I loaned you money and you...

Anybody else looking for a deal on a vacation place on the Gulf? There's got to be some good deals out there. I think the oil will be gone in a couple years. But that's the gamble..

I live across the river from Portland, OR. Being raised in sunny California and having moved up here from sunny Phoenix, this place sucks for the weather. It's still cold and rainy and cloudy like winter. Absolutely shitty and terrible, really affecting my mood. We just got back from a weekend...

Want to know what the new face of capitalism will be? Take a look at China.
