When I first installed the link scanner edition, it was literally taking up to minutes to complete loading a google search web page on firefox. It was quite clearly from the software as I could see each link slowly loading an icon indicating whether it was acceptable to AvG. They may have...

To understand why people unquestionably follow leadership (including sociopaths) , even though it may be counter to their personal beliefs, read up on the milgram experiment. Quite shocking, yet very enlightening experiment on human nature and why people tend to blindly do what they are told...

Therefore the winner/loser list I posted from above is potentially from the historical 7,000 actively monitored systems, no? Meaning that list in itself is irrelevant (in addition to the sample distribution I posted) if what you say is true (and I'm not saying it isn't, as I certainly didn't...

Some good comments and feedback here. I was wondering how accurate the returns reported were. I was also wondering how close the trades were to actual tape execution. Seems like there is some discrepancy from the feedback thus far. That being said, although we don't have a complete...

You need to sit down and crunch some of the numbers before drawing conclusions. If you are referring to the YTD trade returns: stats are: %win = 40.7 %Lose = 59.3% however, avg_win = 1,638 avg_lose = -741 Expectation thus nets out to 227.04/trade 464 trades YTD annual r YTD =...

Not that I'm defending them or anything (In fact, I'd really like to see a sampling distribution of the 7,000+ systems), but are you referring to listed trades other than the table displayed? This is what I see when I go to your link. The individual returns are in perfect agreement with...

If that was the case, why on earth would he then run for politics? Your logic breaks down there.

I think I posted this before, but there has to be some reason people like Kasparov do not gravitate to trading. Particularly for those who believe patterns have merit. What better background to tackle a strategy based environment than being a chess GM? And even more enticing, what better...

Still in print to this day. For nostalgics.

hang in there. Best of luck. dt98

From a statistical perspective, that's not such a bad call at all. Not that it makes the caller very special, just plain stats.

Good to see I'm not alone. Got rid of the link scan monstrosity on day 1; that was absolutely unacceptable. I am using SP3, so good observation, and yes, there are tons of files to scan. I'll have to check out that scan for infectable files only part out. Thanks for the tip. Granted, all...

Is it just me, or is the scan computer time taking horrifically long on the newest AVG? I am looking at today's scan; so far 3 hours have lapsed and it is still going. Experienced users: does that seem normal for 2 drives at 80+ something gigs ea? It seems to me that on the older AVG...

Surprised to see no commentary on this. If an academic institution on the outside can detect this, why on earth can the SEC with it's myriad of money and resources not? Honest traders should be up in arms about this double standard (I know I am). Not so much about short selling (which is...

"We find evidence of significant increases in short sales immediately prior to large insider sales, consistent with information leakage and front-running. We examine a number of alternative explanations that the increase in short sales is driven by public information about the firm or about the...

OUTSTANDING OP, thanks for sharing. The only problem as he alludes to is that you can be 100% right and still blow up before the house of cards inevitably implodes.

... and what pattern is that?

Must be R. Taylor you are referring to. Most ironic thing about his novel (if you've read it) is that there is a table in the back that accurately predicted every major market direction for years (with some --cough-- phase adjustments) just prior to publication. Ironically, the 1st out of...

I truly wonder about the moderators here. If I post a question asking about some type of program/filter to protect from and eliminate pestering telemarketer calls under security/backup, it gets moved to chit chat. Yet, some completely degenerate, political, opinionated thread evolves, and it...

it's no wonder, since entire strategies are formulated around years of normal behaving data. So now, we have had another significant cluster of fat tail events just 20 years later from 87. Looks like even the power law models are getting outdated. Used to be 1 black swan in 100yrs , now...
