    Is Max Keiser Correct or Incorrect in His 'Global Casino Model' Hedge Fund Theory?

    Any good book on Statistical Arbitrage?

    You need the file IGE.xls in the folder C:\Users\bt\Documents\MATLAB\ I attached the file. You may need to change the code for the dates (mm/dd/yyyy to mm-dd-yyyy) You can PM for other bugs (to ge it to run but no further!) Good luck
