************************************************* it's not a matter of what non-theistic cosmologists "LIKE", it's a matter of finding what really happened. ************************************************* Yes, I agree and greatly admire most of the cosmologists that I have read about...

I meant some or all of the EU nations. And, you're right: I can't imagine applauding them. In their case I often feel that "all it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to sit back and do nothing." But, that said, I still don't think that Bush has built a good international case for...

************************************************* Someone above mentioned the Eurocrats not wanting to take this on themselves. I think it's more a matter of they are incapable of it and that's a cause of some of the anti-American resentment. That's understandable I think. It must be difficult...

I think the market is simply waiting. It's already priced in potential terrorism, fraudulent accounting, bad earnings, widespread unemployment, bloated consumer debt, etc., etc. Compared to these other financial events/issues, a war with Iraq is relatively small change in the "financial...

**************************************************** I am against the war. It is becoming more and more obvious that Bush wants to keep the people 'entertained' so that they forget about the economy. Saddam is not a bigger threat to this country than he has ever been, so why is this issue...

Amibroker is great for backtesting and is only $99 for the daily version. You can backtest at least 10 years of data using a free sister application AmiQuote. Also: I encourage you to backtest across different markets (SnP, Nas, ETF's, etc.) one year at a time and see how well your system...

************************************************** You are kidding; right ... ************************************************** Nope, I'm embarrassed to admit. This was a wake up call. Gotta cut back on the backtesting and start reading more political commentary and social analysis I...

What is even more scary is that the average American trusts implicitly the American govt. America has a modern love affair with the State. Most people will be willing to allow the govt to make the call as to when to use the Patriot Act. By that I mean that the Patriot Act is supposed to...

I read an article recently in the Futurist that stated as the ability for one individual to destroy greater and greater numbers of people increased, the freedoms in a society will, out of necessity for survival, steadily decrease. I hate to be fatalistic, but I can't imagine that we'll be...

Thx for the information. It is scarier than I thought. However, I would guess most Americans would be in favor of this. What I mean is that the majority probably desire for the feds to be able to investigate potential terrorists by virtually any means they deem necessary. I really think...

I'm out of touch: how has the Bush administration moved closer to a police state? (I've seen a few liberties chipped away but, from what I've read, nothing drastic.)

Great! Now I'm not sure whether to feel guilty for implying analysts are unethical leeches or for attempting to take the dumb money that they help leave behind on every table...

True - I was just pointing out that analysts can actually be right when not motivated by greed and politics.

fyi: A large study of 55,000 analyst recommendation from 85 to 98 showed them to be 1) able to pick the best growth stocks over time, but (shock!) 2) very wrong when growth stocks stumble and 3) reluctant to downgrade favorite stocks. But here's the semi-useful thing: analysts are very...

I know, I know - this is a nice way of saying, "Noone in their right mind should own this stock, but we're in bed with their upper mgt so we'll use cryptic terms that noone understands so that a few idiots will hold onto this stock a little longer."

Gotcha. But in politically correct parlance, they're basically saying the "mkt should outperform" this issue?
