I am Christian. I am better than the worst Muslim. Therefore Christians are better than Muslims...

I worked for a German company for many years, Siemens to be precise... they treat workers like a valuable and useful resource... I did wonderful things for them year in and year out. Americans bought the company, they treat workers like ugly stepchildren... I just produced absolutely nothing, on...

I think you're right about that... the "me generation" is going to be hung publicly before this is over!!

didn't Mozillo pocket a lot more than that?

You said you use no indicators then you mention bollingers, those are indicators... there is a mentality that goes with engineering that you have to wean off of... I remember how enthralled I was when I learned to translate an engineering problem into the Laplace Space and the Z space and all...

Absolutely, the Bilerbergs will still win but hey...

this might be off topic but I used to engineer pacemakers.. the heart and the pacer each modify the behavior of the other.. the situation with a trader or ATS and the market is similar... I used to flow chart the whole process but color code the heart's actions and the pacer's actions...

Is psychology more in the area of setting some standards for everybody to live up to or live by than in the area of being happy and healthy nowadays? The book of Job is about a guy that was claiming his own righteousness was what was needed... he became very, very messed up but at the end he...

In the schools they use the Geologic Column and the Strata to build their evolution world view. They say they calibrate the Column by the Strata, and elsewhere they say they calibrate the Strata by the Geologic Column... that's circular reasoning that merits an "F" in Philosophy 101 [where they...

they always jump straight to the "religious people are stupid" square... I'm religious, I'm a member of Mensa, I'm smart enough to find out what the underpinnings of a belief system are... and the current one being instilled in the hearts and minds of children everywhere is absolute...

I kept reading this thread and thinking "synchronous?" but I'm not a programmer and wasn't sure what the question really was.... Event driven is one way to design the code so it can keep up with the market, there are other ways as well... Openquant has a programming environment that is all...

oh yeah, I love the great body of "scientific research" we have dumped on us all the time... they say the Gelologic Column is calibrated by the Strata, and they say that the Strata is calibrated by they Geologic Column... well calibration is defined as comparison to to a known standard so that...

Red States have less economic distortion so they recover when they should... I'm in California, forget it, we will recover when Left Wing Policies actually work!!
