    Jim Rogers throws his support behind Ron Paul!!!

    What is wrong with inflation? Actually a little inflation is a good thing. It is a mechanism for shifting wealth from lenders to borrowers. Only aristocracy hates a little inflation. You know the type of people that have elected EU officials. Bernanke is doing a good job but not enough. He...

    Jim Rogers throws his support behind Ron Paul!!!

    Money printing is a legitimate operation and a legit task of any central bank. Do you think AAPL is held up because of money printing? Maybe some financial stocks that have lost importance. I suggest you start looking at the long side too. I think Tim888 is correct. There are some...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Thanks for the info. All along you sounded like a dropout. You have not been to a serious school for PhD. Had you been there you would know that there is no such thing as a part-time PhD. As a matter of fact, most serious universities require PhD students to get an assistanship so they can work...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    Most people that seek a PhD have personality problems, they cannot face reality and the university is a way of hiding from life. I tell you so because I have been there. Those that write papers about the market should first trade a bit to try to understand it. Most PhDs I have met have this...

    Do you see patterns in Random Walks?

    What do you think makes Nietzsche an authority to speak about facts? This is the old unsolved debate between realism and empiricism. Nobody knows the answer. Nietzsche did not know either.

    Bill Gross feels like "crying in his beer" for having bet so heavily against U.S

    We have talked about Gross here in the past. IMO, it is crazy that a fixed income manager of his size and caliber went against the FED when unemployment was rising and the economy was deteriorating. What is more interesting though in this case is that he and his chief economist were almost every...

    technical Strategies ! What is most important ?

    I haven't read that whole book but I have seen several excerpts around. How good is a pattern without well-defined exits? How subjective are the patterns in that book? What is the expectancy of those patterns? How does it change with the various markets? Since you are recommending the book...

    Broken System

    If you don't like the current system and you have good reasons for it, what is the alternative you propose? You are using many true premises in a soup type of argument with disconnected conclusions. What do you propose? If you have nothing to propose but you are just blaming the system, is it...

    steve jobs and the role of failure and the failure of socialism

    I agree but most posters here are either too young to know or too ignorant of the facts. Lisa was the first windows based PC. It is possible that MS Windows emerged from that and we will never know the secret deals behind it. Very often a business appears as a failure but the deals done in the...

    steve jobs and the role of failure and the failure of socialism

    People, most of you don’t understand what I wrote and just too eager to pull the trigger. I just attacked the logical argument. That was not defending of bank bailouts although I must say that I agree that some banks are too big to fail because their failure will create irreversible damage...

    steve jobs and the role of failure and the failure of socialism

    This is the most disgusting piece of distorted fallacious logic I have ever seen in many years since I studied logic and formal fallacies at graduate school. Steve Jobs is simply a statistical outlier. Thousands like Steve Jobs, most good men with good knowledge and dreams, tried to learn...

    Where to Learn to Trade?

    You are confusing two things here besides using universal qualification like "everyone". Teaching someone how to trade is not equivalent to sharing a profitable method. It seems that you want someone to hand you an edge. Nobody will do that for the type of fee you are willing to pay. Why should...
