As a San Francisco resident who pays truck load of tax money to the IRS and the state, now I am really pissed to see how far this country has been mired in socialism. It is always the public that serves the selfish needy individuals, rather than what JFK said "Ask not what your country...

Having paid my taxes on 10/15, I am more pissed this year. I want to be the 47%. I want to be driving Lamborghini and receive food stamps and all possible government handouts. I demand that my elected officials take by force 75% of what others have and give to me because I just don't want to...

Apple, the greatest adult toy company ever in history. Its products are so cool, the coolest toys; you can listen to music on it, play games on it, jerk off on it; what's more, these toys can boost your IQ, can house you, cloth you, and feed you and your family; they can also help solve our...

Somebody posted similar question some time back. For historical prices, free, you can get from many sites: Yahoo, Google, Investopia, MSN, etc. To do it automatically, you can program Perl, Java (I do both), C++, etc. Java on IB only goes back one year; with Perl, I can get as far as the...

I would add one more for fun: http://www.amazon.com/Models-Behaving-Badly-ebook/dp/B004T4KKP8

Totalitarianism prohibits questioning or challenging its authority; religion prohibits questioning or challenging the authority of god; as the ultimate authority comes from god in any religion, totalitarianism and religion are one and the same thing.

Yes, time and again, I can't help but congratulate China and USSR for freeing their people from the shackles of religion: http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article33209.html Regrettably, few people are brave enough to embrace science and rationality over superstition.

On Linux or FreeBSD (or any BSD), try yahooquote. On FreeBSD, also try yahoo historical quotes in the packages. They are in PERL. I wrote my own code (Java + Scheme) for IB data mining (unfortunately doesn't go back farther than 1 year).

David Hume: "is" != "ought" H2O and oil not soluble, Windows != open source => not everything can be mixed

OddTrader, can you send me a message about your C2 system? I would like to follow your system. I don't mean subscribing yet; sorry; just follow the performance of the system. Thanks.

Money money money! Why work when you can sell the country for money ?!

nitro, 7 green arrows point up means buy buy buy, and 7 red arrows pointing down means sell sell sell? Just kidding. How is your model different from the green and red arrows of the so many quick-easy-money making sites?

Neil Young, Harvest Moon album: "The same things that make you live, can kill you in the end." The Achilles heels of American democracy may be the votes of mindless sheeple. I am in California and grinding my teeth hating it, except for the SF Bay weather. I would love to see Atlas Shrugged...

Stop blaming China or any other countries for our own problems. Who is eating my lunch here in California? My welfare neighbors and my gigantic government and its gigantic military industrial complex!! Big government literally eats my lunch because my tax conscripts puts food on the table...

Iff A and B trade the same stock. Indeterminate if A and B trade different asset classes.

Here is a question: If you don't trade, how do you know (deterministically) that A wins and B loses (0.24 probability) or A loses and B wins (0.24 probability)? So, when you say "48% no trade," you know a priori that your next trade will result in no profit and hence you don't want to take the...

There is no holy grail. Here is my superficial take: (1) Define "winning" as the sum of all profit and loss of the 2 methods being > 0; (2) Define "losing" as the sum being <= 0; (3) Methods A and B have winning probability of 0.6 each. (Known) (4) When a method wins, put a "+" sign in...

That picture reminds me of Fallout 3, one of the best kick-ass video games.

The defense budget of the United States is multiples of the rest of the world combined. There are far more organized attacks by the US on any entities it considers a threat. Of course, none is reported by the standard media. US is not benevolent; it is a political structure just like any others...

Just glancing through. Naked short call and covered put. Not risk free.
