Don't fade a strong trend. Conference with most BCS bowl appearances Big Ten (21) Conference with most BCS bowl game wins SEC (14) Conference with most championships SEC (6) You forgot that Tennessee won the first BCS game in '98-'99. And in 2004-05 season Auburn went 13-0 and was...

Where's the OP? Facts are stubborn things.

I am trying as we speak - in the real estate market.

broken, you have started two threads in this same forum complaining about markets being rigged. You just started another one entitled: "Short Squeeze or Rally", where you expound the same thesis about manipulation. Thanks for making the point, but don't you think that this obsession is at...

gtor514 gets my vote.

Nut, you are interchanging some confusing (to me, at least) terminology in subsequent posts - from my understanding, it appears that you would like to trade serial calendar months in the futures contract ES; in other words, you would like to 'leg' in to and out of one month code contract versus...

OP - take it to the Daily Kos because that crap don't fly. Yes - Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid are doing wonders. Might as well start with those fresh busts for Mount Rushmore. If you want to include chronic underemployment as well as the citizens who have stopped looking for...

Since it's how much you keep versus how much you make, taxation is a huge issue.

Oh, speaking of the Illinois Department of Revenue, I have a personal example: they owe me money because I overpaid taxes, and so they unilaterally chose to apply it to my "future liabilities". And the appeal process timeframe (not to mention the convoluted paperwork and filing mechanics) is...

From Politico on March 30, 2010: "Federal authorities have arrested a Philadelphia man and charged him with threatening to kill House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and his family. Norman Leboon will be charged with two federal counts: threatening to kill a member of Congress and...

Another entertaining feature is the vast number of Democratic and Progressive PACs who publish fund raising letters and member bulletins featuring crosshairs and bullseyes on Republican and Tea Party candidates. Paul Krugman is a dolt. Even his academic work can't hold water in the opinion...

I registered as an LLC in my home state of Illinois - if you register in a state other than your own the tax accounting gets more complicated, and you might have to do some creative things like hire a company to maintain a P.O. Box for you in order to create residency requirements. It isn't...

Fascinating that this psychopath lists "Mein Kampf" and the works of Karl Marx as favorite reads, his neighbor describes him as a left-wing wack job, but the media titans are so quick to pin all of this on Palin and the Tea Party. Apparently the Daily Kos scrubbed their website over the...

If you are married, get your wife to work. If she can't work or already is working, get a second job afterhours - sales, tech support come to mind. For example, I know traders who sell cars in the evenings on pure commission. You don't want to force trades in order to cover a monthly nut...

Eight, with all due respect, you are trivializing and generalizing beyond extreme in this case. If a trader has a crap strategy and poor risk controls, it wouldn't matter if it was a correlation or a technical study that spelled his demise. I've had profitable correlations last for three...

I'm ready to move South and pay for private school for the kids. Been here since'85, and it gets worse every year in terms of taxation versus quality-of-life return for the taxpayer. (operative term is "taxpayer") Now that the markets have gone electronic, there really hasn't been a decent...

J-Law, there are about a dozen ETFs that have a two year daily close-on-close positive correlation greater than 95% with the CL Nymex futures contract. I apologize, but I cannot be more specific without getting nastygrams from clients.

There is real edge here. From my experience, an absolute must is a very good time & sales data source - Thompson Reuters or Bloomberg. You have to be absolutely sure that the chronological synchronization between the data sets you are testing is precise. There are at least four...

CL vs. DBO, Daily closing marks, OTR past two years, just under 84% positive correlation. CL vs. USO, same metrics, just under 73%. DBO vs. USO, same metrics, just under 97%.
