    E pluribus unum

    If you're referring to solar power, then it's still a work in progress. No matter how green leaders talk, money walks. Current lowest photovoltaic cost per watt is about $0.70, by First Solar. Levelized cost per kw-hour is over $0.30/kwh. It's gonna have to come down to at least 10 cents to...

    Economics of Web Traffic

    I could give a comprehensive answer to your Q that touches on all points, but I'll stick to a short and concise one for now. With the exception of specialized news/data services that focus on a particular market/topic, general news nowadays is no longer unique. Widespread access to the...

    Mathematically computing a trendline

    Thanks Prof. From what I understood of your post, it's basically a programmed function that automatically draws trendlines on a chart. I've seen indicators out there that do that.

    Mathematically computing a trendline

    At least some people know about it, I don't even know what the hell a math-computed trendline is. How is it different from a regular trendline one puts on a chart?

    I am a new trader, I want to start trading

    Forget sim trading. No matter how much you sim, when it comes to real money it's a totally different experience, you'll forget everything you learned. Don't read books, waste of time. Open a small account. Use tight stop-losses. Don't use indicators, strategies. Use only trend lines...

    The Only Way to Turn US Economy Around

    traderharley, how do you propose getting American jobs back? Protectionism? How do you propose keeping the free-trade agreements and this capitalist system intact, while forcing companies to keep jobs in United States? That will require protectionist laws. Not that I'm against that, but...

    Budget Debate - my take on it.

    Change? The only real change we'll see, will be obvious in about 10 years. The United States, will either stop being "United", or will become the "United Americas".

    A Brief History Of Obama's Fiscal Record

    How can we sit and blame this or that president, administration, or party, when it is clear that the root, the cause, of their continuous acts of bankrupting the American citizenry lies in the system? It is the system which we have in place today, that allows whoever is at the helm of it...

    Accusations fly as Bank of Moscow gets record bailout

    It's not in Western press because to run this story would be equal to recognizing Russia as a viable state with a working economy and this bailout as a "shock". In Western eyes, Russia isn't, and consequently, this bailout ain't much of a shock in a country of widespread corruption. And it's...

    Trading with a Stop Loss in the Futures Market is for Losers

    I realize that I'm not up on your level of trading experience and knowledge yet, but I was under the impression that the large funds do not use stops precisely due to their size, rather than because they find other strategies more effective in managing risk. Holding a stop on a 1 mm share...

    Cutting the deficit

    I agree it's necessary to agree on definitions of terms before arguing the rights and wrongs of something, esp as complex as economics. The only way to cut the deficit is to: 1) end participation in all the wars, 2) stop all SSI except for elderly and retired, which DOES NOT include...
