My brother (American like myself) has lived in Sweden for about 16 years and he and his wife work in Academia. He is pretty damn liberal but even he has said it has almost gotten unbearable in Sweden with Gypsies literally on every street corner begging and hustling. He lives is a well to do...

That is spooky considering that last night I had a dream that I was in the middle of a zombie/vampire apocalypse. Fortunately, I got bit by a vampire which turned me into a vampire and I was helping people flee from the zombies. I hope my dream did not foreshadow upcoming real life events :)

I play in a band and the guitar player has had a string of attractive girlfriends not even half his age. We have talked about it and my advise has been to enjoy it for as long as he can. He has no intention of settling down to start a family so the very young women work well in that they are...

Seems like you just got unlucky MarketSurfer. Your ex called and you decided not to pick up the phone for whatever reason. You did not know that answering her call could save her life. Knowing what you knew at the time of the phone call, it was not an incorrect decision. Unfortunately, there...

Still holding the TLT trade. It was entertaining driving in my new vehicle from Florida to Arkansas for a show with my band and listening to CNBC at the time of the Fed announcement. Needless to say the announcement was positive for TLT. It was also good given my Mom is now investing with...

I don't know if this is helpful, but here is the approach I take which is 100% mechanical. It consists of two strategies that are traded together in a strategy portfolio. Perhaps you can generate some ideas of your own based on the approach I am taking...

From the article: "But if you want to raise up a generation of freedom fighters, who will actually operate with justice, fairness, accountability and equality towards each other and their government, then run the schools like freedom forums. Remove the metal detectors and surveillance cameras...

How is this like Crimyria? The Syrian regime is on deaths door and without some serious help from somebody they are going to be running for their lives and/or lined up against the wall. I am sure they are welcoming the Russians with open arms.

Perhaps cutting a deal with Assad is the best option. Get him to make some token concessions, create a "safe zone" inside Syria for the refugees and then arm him to the teeth to take out ISIS. At least his soldiers for the most part are willing to fight (whats left of them).

Why do you say that? Trump came out against Gulf war 2 at the time while the neocons were chomping at the bit for it. Seems like Trump is less likely to start foreign military adventures than some of his primary rivals.

The issue with the social welfare programs is they discourage child rearing. Why have kids when the state will take care of you in your old age? The social democracies of Europe are trying to reverse this with generous benefits for having kids, but it is not having a great effect on the native...

Looks like the rotation into TLT last week is proving quite timely. Below is the system I am currently trading which has support for strategy ranking and will exit a portion of lower ranked strategies in favor of higher ranked strategies when necessary...

You mean there is actually a trading book that has some value? o_O haha Joking aside, it looks promising. Will check it out! fan27

Great comments here gents! Looks like I have just begun to scratch the surface with my allocation code. I would be curious if any off the shelf packages can do things such as those mentioned... Allocate based on: Scaling constraints Strategy Correlation Risk adjusted returns etc.

I write my own backtesting software and have been working on a particular problem. How best to allocate capital to a portfolio of strategies? Let's say I have strategy A which has an average result of 3% per trade and strategy B which has an average result of 10%. Assuming most of the other...

I don't care where you live in this country...you fly an ISIS flag and the last thing you are going to be worrying about is your HOA. If the Feds don't get you the lynch mob will. P.S. After seeing the video above, looks like college campus is an exception. fan27

The dude needs read his HOA agreement (I would be willing to bet the HOA are in the right). Don't want to be told not to fly your confederate flag, don't join an HOA. Simple. fan27

Don't worry Baron. I am sure they have the wrong number ;)
