    Triangular arbitrage

    Probably it is possible but should have already been exploited by the big players with supercomputers and powerfully complex algos. I would rather try to research on such arbitrage on longer time frames even within intraday like 30 min. instead of 1 min or few tick charts.

    U.S. tech leaders sound alarm over Trump immigration ban

    That's not right, there is still a vast difference in foreign vrs local rates. Also with today's technologies in communications, I would not go through the H1 process to bring a coder in the US. I would keep them in India/Asia and pay them $25K overseas vrs $50K here or $80K to a local plus...

    On average, a local American IT worker is 10-20% better but they also come at prices 30-50% more expensive. Because of H1-B visa status, the Indian or immigrant workers usually work 50% more hard and thus give a much higher bang for the buck. Immigrant programmers come with much higher...

    Explosion of inflation under way - Are you ready Gary Cohn, Mnuchin and Ross?

    No one is advocating China type sweat shops anywhere. But a district school board president making $600K a year is too much. On the otherhand in private sector, CEOs and top management making $20M for six months of work or cashing out at $100M for 3 years at the helm is too much also...

Also, new variables will enter the market paradigms and it will take human interpretation of these new variables to modify the AI programs. What 1 programmer interprets as friendly will be...

    Two neutral views: US should stop bombing and inciting civil wars in Middle East to begin with. In Syrian civil war, US and allies like Saudi, UAE, Qatar have a major hand in creating a civil war. First a civil war is forced fed and when people lose their jobs, homes, families and get angry...
