    10% unemployment but H1B visas accelerating

    Nice to see someone posts some knowledge about how it actually works. This is the antithesis of free markets. I've refrained from commenting thus far, but let's be frank: it's about lowering costs everywhere but the top .01% - has nothing to do with scarcity of supply.

    eliminate ads, text only

    Firefox --adblock plus works pretty well to eliminate ads. If you want raw text only, try cygwin, mira, or lynx. P.S. I assume you got rid of your virus, since you never replied on the other thread?

    deleting new threads

    ok, at least I understand the rules then. I thought maybe I might have been doing something wrong. I didn't think about the idea that many posters could reply in a 20 min or so window and it would be unfair to them, but I see your viewpoint. Anyways, the best way to deal with it (other...

    deleting new threads

    I've found that I have a certain period of time to edit thread content (like 20min or so). However, 1) I am not able to edit the thread title 2) Not able to delete the thread within the same window (in fact, I've never been able to delete a thread I've started at any time). I end up...

    The latest FIREFOX update is garbage

    Yep, I keep a backup of the bookmark files. Learned that the hard way. Either way, I don't see any pressing need to update if not neccessary. Seems like most of the time software needs updating, it's not a beneficial thing (except for maybe security updates). I ended up completely changing...

    The latest FIREFOX update is garbage

    Call me old school, but I avoid updates like the plague. For one I usually end up losing bookmarks, which can be a pain. Either way, I don't see any need to update. I thought they were pretty much forced, as it usually says firefox will update next start. But that's the version I see on the...

    Overstock gets $5mm from Rocker

    Wasn't Markopolos supposed to head some sort of task force in the SEC? Last I checked they promoted a GS guy to chief guardian of hen-house affairs. I was really hoping to see HM in the seat. Too bad hope doesn't get you too far.

    Automated Trading Answers

    Hi, What software have you found to be the most optimal for developing real time trading GUIs (C++, for ex?). Do you just stick to one particular language for your entire development? How about simple prototyping/backtesting? I see you use AI. What particular areas of AI have you...

    Intraday market depth evolution

    I looked at a few of your other posts. I think that the following book might be of use to your study: "The Equity Trader Course," R. Schwartz http://www.amazon.com/Equity-Trader-Course-Wiley-Trading/dp/0471741558/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1260307936&sr=8-3 In addition, there are...

    Geeks trump alpha males as algos dominate Wall St

    I'm curious to hear your thoughts (or any others) on how this is so. From my interpretation, HFT is nothing more than legalized front running. If, as the (former?) nasdaq head claimed, the feeds are in the nano seconds, that means you must have a dedicated fiber optics cable right at the...

    For frequency domain experts

    Without divulging much, I have more than a passing interest in these concepts. Let's just say I'm very knowledgeable about them. With regards to whether I've investigated the concepts in trading;a resounding yes. Although, like any other concept there are many pitfalls depending on how you...

    Could someone explain these numbers to me?

    If your confused on that-- wait till you get to the birth/death adjustment. It'll really bake your noodle.:D

    For frequency domain experts

    What you say makes some sense. However, you have to be very careful about what you are exactly interpreting. Keep in mind that when you de-trended (differenced) to get the stationary signal, you just removed an enormous contributor to the actual signal, which is the low frequency component (you...

    Trading with Fractals

    while it admittedly looks tempting... please analyze the following fractal birth in detail to see if you can decipher whether it was a boy or a girl.:D

    For frequency domain experts

    Although it is true that wavelets offer certain advantages as you describe above, unfortunately, much like Fourier analysis, they are only descriptors of the past. There is no tool that can ever tell you the total series population with certainty. Understanding the theory behind these tools...
