...I suppose this applies if you're at a university that concentrates on teaching and not research. However, research universities require their faculty to publish continuously. Better universities aim at higher tier journals for publications. It’s quite time consuming (the research and...

Is the layout on the White copy supposed to be different? (the orange heading is thinner and your name, etc is lower than on the other covers. I don't like that, it reminds me of MLA - english comp 101 - format. I voted for blue, i think it looks the best...refreshing yet appealing to the eye.

How sweet, the ET community is concerned about surf…and his trading. I guess I would be too if I didn’t….anyhow, he washed off the shore of annaland but maybe he’ll respond if the tide is right and he’s fortunate enough to return. Amen.

Quant programs are extraordinarily competitive and require a great commitment. You'll be surrounded with classmates who already have PhDs and/or MS in Physics, Math or Stats. You'll be programming many models (CIR, Vasicek, BS, etc.) – using mostly C++ and Matlab. You'll be deriving every...

Yea, surf’s short and you’re creative enough to come up with marketsmurf...HOW CUTE! Let me ask you something, trooper. Most of your last 100 out of 290 posts have all been regarding Tim…You even went as far as crying to Oprah’s neighbors, dog’s brother’s son about how much you...

Aren't cumulants just moments or different forms of moments, (ie. adding, subtracting or squaring lower moments) that could still give you the mean, variance, skewness, etc? If I remember correctly, it’s just a different way of parameterizing.

Ghostzapper, I hope you do realize that your “dislike” (aka sick obsession) of TS is actually going to sell more books for him than the numerous positive reviews that he has received...Do you really think Tim cares whether you like him or “dislike” him? Either way, his name is coming...

That's what happens when you home school kids. No offense to anyone who was home schooled, but I've noticed that most home schooled folks are some weird, weird creatures. Oh well, to each their own.

SiSePuede! Don’t get me wrong here, I don’t really care what Tim does or how he does it, I’ve never watched his show, haven’t read his book and don’t plan on doing either (well <i>maybe</i> I’ll check out the book). However, turning 12k of bar mitzvah money into 1.65M at his age...

I’m not familiar with papers that explicitly show the relationship between convexity and stock futures prices – there is a lack of consensus among academics on whether bonds lead stocks or stocks lead bonds and I’ve found that some of the debate ends there. However, if you’re...

Nah, they are just homosexuals and have not come to terms with it yet.

Many factors causing the spike: http://econ161.berkeley.edu/Econ_Articles/theinflationofthes.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagflation

Mathematical finance - you'll find both stats and comp sci in it.

I'm undecided - if i go surfing in philly today then i'll be there :)

you'll recongnize surf by his eyepatch and pinky ring

Do you look at or trade based on volume? If so, have you (or anyone) ever look at the <i>frequency</i> of trades instead of volume itself?

Not sure about the E1405 but I have the Inspiron 6000, which I got 2 years ago and it's doing ok - I'm not thrilled with it but I think it's pretty good for the money. Also, if you're looking at Dells check out the following website, they often list Dell coupons, which you can use and get a...

Definitely not platinum. As a matter of fact, the only thing platinum that night was your pinky ring. Hahahaha! :)

I see you exposed my O-strawberry addiction to ET! :) I’m not sure my stomach could handle the strawberries, you and the eclipse 500 – something will have to go…

I think the main problem is that your system isn’t (well) adjusted to the current (trending) and relatively low volatility markets. In a sideways market, you’d be catching tops/bottoms and your trading would be more consistent. The markets won’t always grow the way they have been –...
