This is what you didn't actually answer: What is the correct average global temperature? What year/time period average should we use to determine the correct temperature? What happened to the global climate before this most recent trend? Is global warming bad or good? (Maybe is not a good...

James Bond: Good answers while ignoring the questions.

Here are the questions I think must be answered before we can solve anything: 1. What is the correct average global temperature? Or. What year/time period average should we use to determine the correct temperature? 2. Has the Earth been warming? How much? For how long? What happened...

It may be a standard way, but.... "Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it. What everything is really worth to...

I thought King Arthur says "All right; we'll call it a draw."

If it's not a lot of money, why not just trade your father's account for him? He can then give you 1 and 20 as a gift (limited to $12K or $24K for a couple, I believe).

Along the same lines: Discovered that changes in yield curve are hurting my performance. After some testing and based on how yield curves affect my models, I find that, when rates are below 6%, I am generally long bonds when the yield curve is steep and short when it is flat. Furthermore...

I'll buy when the headline says "Markets collapse, world financial disaster"

As I keep saying, emerging markets were the first to go in 1998.

That's not how it works. High water marks are normally based on monthly (sometimes quarterly) results, not yearly. This is from one fund's offering documents: Prospective investors should note that even though Incentive Allocations are computed and allocable as of the end of each calendar...

Why not test it? See which works better: buying new highs or buying new lows. Or buy RSIs over X vs buy RSI under Y. Or something else similar. If you are lazy or interest, Thomas N. Bulkowski wrote an article about the subject in the April 2006 issue of SFO. This link is for subscribers...

We are returning to normal volatility from historical lows.
