An Anthropologist told me he visited a mountain tribe and they took a dim view of the people that lived on the flatland. Then he visited the flatlanders and they took a very dim view of the mountain people... it's like the rumor mill in a high school or an old folk's home, it's imagination...

but... all this political stuff creates uncertainty in the markets. Uncertainty generates volatility, volatility is a trader's bread and butter... we should be donating to both parties!

That's good... the world is a little more civilized now... The growing up process is very interesting. A little reading on childhood stages of development is very enlightening. The overall process is for one to be learning just everything that comes one's way for the first decade or two and...

I keep telling people that!! WiN stands for Work is Nonprofit!! Trade well or die!!

Maybe somebody will make a shirt that doubles as a screen. Put the shirt on your gf, buy some coffees, and trade from a cellphone... There might be technical issues that had to be ironed out. 3d plots of backtested parameter spaces might be distorted if your gf was really built but who...

That is the question really... I've lived in the southwest for half a century and they have let it become overrun with illegal aliens. I'd have to say they are a lot like decadent Roman leaders... My hero is Alerick, He went to the Roman Leaders and said "I'm going to sack the place" and...

So there are people that believe that the Universe came from nothing?? And they can see that the chances of life existing require a sun, moon, earth, all that good stuff, including the gravitational forces, electrical forces, etc...... to be in a state of near perfection? And they still have a...

I did this interesting thing. I read Genesis as a literal story. Japtheth was one of the people that got off the Ark after the flood. It says that "Japtheth will prosper"... A man's name in that context indicates himself/family/descendants. Genesis tells where people went. Japtheth is Indo...

Of course, those social networking thingies are going to usher in the New Era! You know, the era that's sort of like Big Rock Candy Mountain with Santa Claus... no more of those stupid old rules that bother everybody, just everybody doing whatever they please whenever and it doesn't bother...

I'd boycott Hollywood but those films they produce are so good sometimes... I can take a date to a PG13, sounds tame right? It will have nudity and sex, good ice breaker... If I want to I can go watch an action flick and when I walk out into the night be thinking "don't make me come through that...

Thanks for info AK... now if we can get Republicans to want the 4th amendment back and do an exit strategy on the War on Drugs and Libs to go with "Loser Pays Court Costs" we might be able to return to civilized and sane life and discourse...

Think of this scenario. You are part of such a team, tasked with developing the Holy Grail of trading programs... so one day you are sitting and thinking and you invent it... do you go to the next meeting and share it with everybody or do you go home and start learning the Openquant environment...

Amazing it is... the simplest of answers are overlooked just like bargain hunters stepping over dollars to get to nickels...

I think that floor traders had strategies that were very marginal. A marginal strategy benefits the most from risk management. A really good strategy only needs protection in a Black Swan event and it's very simply accomplished with some deep otm options if the strategy can pay a few percent of...

she is one stone-cold and tough looking cookie in that mug shot...

They might be tapping their savings accounts...
