    "Risk is not high, it is extreme."

    "Insiders Sell Hand Over Fist" If I had a buck for every time I've seen that lame quote the last few months... About the last time I recall seeing Insiders Buy Hand Over Fist being bandied about with such frequency, was right at the top (before the meltdown).:D Interesting to see the...

    Let's discuss academic research on mean-reverting trading strategies...

    That's a very good retort. And I agree with you here. The fact of the matter, though, is that people and algorithms draw conclusions (by necessity) from a much smaller window. And as you astutely pointed out, they often (wrongly) rely on mathematical models to make that inference. In the...

    Therefore, your visual intuition proves math is incorrect then?:D If people are going to try to argue from a quantitative perspective, they should understand it in context. To make a statement that high correlation is a requirement for co-integration, assumes that the correlation is...

    Anyone following along should heed Equalizer's advice, when he suggests to actually play with some of these concepts in excel to validate the concepts with your own eyes. Below are two series that are co-integrated. You may extend the series out to infinity and there are no gaps in...

    Net Neutrality?!?!

    This is a good thing. You want net neutrality. Let's hope it passes. It will likely slow you down if it does not pass. In addition, passing would curtail the internet to become a monopoly of select garbage; It's the one system that works great as it is. Please don't let greed F*&(*& up a...

    Amen. The best advice anyone could ever heed regarding these concepts. Regarding the common misconception about correlation being a necessity for co-integraton, let me quote from Carol Alexander, whom another poster has just referenced (she is chair of risk mgmt University of Reading...

    Let's discuss academic research on mean-reverting trading strategies...

    You got that backwards. It's correlation implies co-integration when residuals are stationary, not the other way around. Nor is (as the prior poster or two stated) the spread between two instruments, a co-integrated and mean reversing process. It is a particular linear combination of two...

    Anyone notice yahoo requiring information in order to remember your email password? Like choose: 1) Maiden Name 2) Birthplace 3)... etc. I hope everyone makes sure to put garbage into any of these data-mining attempts to make money off your personal information without explicit...

    For the elliot wave believers and non-believers too=)

    I've often commented that I'm in the elliot=astology camp; that being said, I respect those EW practitioners who seem to get it to work for them. However, a while back I also mentioned that the closest objective study I've personally seen was in a TA Stock Comm Mag. Rather than call it EW, he...

    Anyone familiar with Opcrack pwd recovery for win2k Pro?

    I think ophcrack is only for xp and vista. I was able to get Nordahl's to crack right after I posted. Wasted some disks, but I'm still not certain what I did incorrectly the first time. Maybe I burned the ISO image improperly at first, or downloaded a different version the 1st time. Had to...

    Anyone familiar with Opcrack pwd recovery for win2k Pro?

    I am having a hard time recovering an old forgotten win2k Pro dell laptop pwd. I ran the live cd, created the ISO img, and set a dell inspiron 5000e bios to see cdROM 1st (top of que). The disk is a cd. Yet, the bootup continues to ignore the cd boot drive (although it flashes to...

    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    Gummy has a peculiar sense of humor.:) But he sure gives a lot of practical and objective wisdom that can be replicated (including free examples to do so). BTW. Make sure to get the quickstart excel book that matches your version. If you have 2007, the interface will be different. I...

    BAR BY BAR -- Al Brooks

    Swan Noir, I get where you are coming from and I hear you. My background is a bit more analytical vs. yours, which appears to be more of a businessman type role. I've worn both hats, so I can relate. It may look simple, but to be honest, one of the hardest things I've found through...

    Windows XP Clock Losing Time

    wrong again. See the figure 1 block that says time base input/Osc, pins 2 & 3 (OSC1 AND OSC2). That is referring to an EXTERNAL crystal oscillator. Sorry, it is not embedded in the chip. Figs. 10&11. also makes the distinction more explicit, showing how to connect the external crystal or time...

    Windows XP Clock Losing Time

    And that CPU clock is a quartz crystal referenced oscillator. I'd like to see that embedded oscillator chip you referred to that didn't use a quartz crystal as a reference. Anyways, you probably know more than most here, so sorry to rib you on that... Not possible to snowball me in this...

    Windows XP Clock Losing Time

    The statement you referenced is spoken from someone who doesn't understand what they are talking about. There were two suggestions given. I gave one; you can try the other above, as evidenced by his post, not all computers rely on alternate power outside bios battery for clock time, during...

    Windows XP Clock Losing Time

    I see you haven't built many PLLs:D A PLL must have a crystal as a reference somewhere down the line.
