If someone were to bribe Benny enough to forecast a bubble burst in the near future then things would really move.

Game theory is surely more one against one other or one country against another country. In the Cold War it was USA v. Soviet Union If I do this what will be his response ? If I do that will his reaction be different ? Maybe look another step ahead or two ? etc. Try it on your boss...

Just been watching a documentary on TV about drones. Apparently they often shoot up women and children who are mistaken as terrorists and often crash. One crashed in Iran. You would think that those flying over hostile territory would have a small charge to destroy the hi-tech bits in the event...

It is a fundamental flaw in the US system ( among others ) that politicians appoint their own "yes men " like Bunny Bernanke to the Fed chairmanship. They should be free to make their OWN carefully considered judgements on the US economy without fear of being sacked by the politicians.

Superstition is for half wits to believe and conmen to spread around !! This is the 21st century. Well it is in most parts of the world.

Devil worshippers etc. held their annual convention recently and called it The Black Arts Convention. Lots of gays and coloured people there. :)

Game theory is interesting and extremely complex. Looking back in history one can see how countries reacted to each other. It is much the same for companies and people. There are various states of dis-equilibrium between total war and perfect peace. Are you having a "cold war" with some of...

Don't want to poor cold water on the OP's purpose but some people just aren't cut out for programming etc. and will never get far enough in a 100 years to make it worthwhile. Have a good unbiased look at yourself and your talents. It isn't really enough to just want to be an ace programmer...

Just to get back to the OP's point about Taleb, here is a little about his ideas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Taleb said "I don't particularly care about the usual. If you want to get an idea of a friend's temperament, ethics, and personal...

To get there did he go through the Pearly Gates ? :)

They say the weather is great in Detroit this time of year ? Don't go with the herd or you'll always be 1 step behind the smart guys !!:cool:

You US guys sure do pick 'em :D

The redskins used to do the same thing. Riding round and round the wagon train, I mean. I wonder if that was for the same reason. :D

I see Glaxo is in trouble in China for distributing sexual favours and cash inducements ( bribes ). Hey Glaxoites over here ( Detroit ) - we like you and are in desperate need of anything in that line you can offer ??? :p

Jesse was a total failure. I mean he blew away fortune after fortune. Hopeless loser

Perhaps they will find oil ? :p

Either you have enough intelligence to learn on your own or failing that have to find a mentor. A good mentor can save you years of unnecessary frustration and costs. Only about 5% can successfully accomplish the former. 90% can get there with the latter so make your mind up !!

It doesn't matter how many times you flip a coin or what the small drift is, the expectation of heads is still 50/50. A trader has some advantages, although small they can be significant. For instance 1.when the bet is made 2. how large the bet is 3. when the exit is made yet we can...

They are talking about a national bailout of Detroit. Hardly fair that those who played the game well have to bailout a City that has failed. My guess is there may be a similarity with Greece. Too many on the state payroll, being paid too much. The financial rapists long gone elsewhere plus the...

Phil Mickelson won the British Open golf tournament over last weekend and he was playing left handed. That game is hard enough playing right handed let alone left handed. :)
