The same reason that Republican Steele lost. There's still a percentage of the population that will say they will vote for a black candidate, but pull the other switch in the booth. That's why I put money on Corker. The polls for white vs. black are always skewed upwards for the black candidate.

David, your publisher and editor really fucked up. The footnotes in the Introduction starting on Page 7 are all off by one. For example, Footnote 18 about random vs. actual price charts is actually number 17 on page 478, and then all the ones after that mismatch. Make sure you self-publish...

surf, you are right. Freudian slip. :D

Well David, you can fire the "steady hand" of Emilie Herman for making 2 mistakes in the first 16 lines of your book (page ix): "alterative" on Line 11 and "I am indebted Dr. Halbert" on Line 16. I hope this shit doesn't drive me nuts, but that is pretty typical of Wiley these days. Tell her to...

Uh, go ahead and run a detailed financial analysis and see if you can splurge for the 8 bucks. You don't have to buy the popcorn if that breaks the bank.

So, if I had a set of systems that I'd like to vet with a statistical framework, then Aronson's book would not be helpful in this regard?

Rest assured that Wiley will make a profit, and that any price over $19.99 will satisfy that criterion. For example, if you get a book printed privately through Thomson-Shore, then a run of 5000 books will cost you about $4 per book, including dust jacket. Now, I'm sure that Wiley will claim...

LOL, you are so full of it. Pavlov would have loved you as a subject. You're a last word kind of guy, so we eagerly await your lengthy response about nothing. Will you exercise your discipline and place me on Ignore, or can I count on you again, Mr. Troll Bait? The fact is Thunderdog -- you...

Thanks for posting the Table of Contents David -- can't wait to read the book. You should read the System Development by acrary thread; that is probably the best thread on ET that describes a rigorous approach to systems trading with a statistical bent.

Thanks for the complement, moron. :D

I'll let the book speak for itself, not your blah blah blah opinion about it. To quote you -- your comment here, as elsewhere, is baseless.

Coming from such a blowhard, you would know about speaking volumes. You should buy David's book -- you seem pretty close-minded about learning new stuff.

1. I started with good old FORTRAN as a senior in high school. College was APL, Lisp, SNOBOL, Assembler, etc. 2. This is kind of whack, but I spent about four years working on a compiler for Ada. 3. In college, I had a summer job at a naval laboratory. They used PDP-11's there. I wrote a...

Tdog, you are such a card! Just a reminder to file David's book in the 600's under the DDS... thank you for taking on this responsibility so the rest of us can trade.

Hey, could you post the table of contents here? Would like to take a peek... Don't worry about surf, he won't turn on you for a while. :p Also, there's an excellent librarian here by the name of Thunderdog. Perhaps you could send him a review copy for his shelves.

Yep, Kerry was right. Politicians are supposed to be much more careful than this. He actually spoke the truth! I just hope Americans catch on that we can't afford any more dumb Texans in office to get us into quagmires (think LBJ too).

John Kerry's timing is impeccable LOL! But... he is right. Generally, if you don't get your college degree, you're either going to end up in a shit job or in the military. And yeah, basically the grunts are cannon fodder for Republicans who secretly want others to fight their wars for them...

I named my dog Korean Picnic.

Oh really? Wait until the U.S. defaults on their debt -- you'll see a lot of foreign hankies waving in the air.

Anyone else bored by the "women in trading" PC crapola?
