    The Reality of America's Finances

    i am astonished to read something like that in the year 2013. i still do respect reasonable skeptics, but i lack respect for those people, who are so convinced about their minority world view that they give names to what the overwhelming majority of scientists have been agreeing on for a...

    The Reality of America's Finances

    i think obama's action was more justified than bush's war spending. truth is america is kept hostage by a group that runs on a fuel combined of global empire ambition, social injustice and an unshakeable believe in what they call, erroneously, "free market". on top a weird reference to...

    Anybody is interested in collaboration of Matlab trading system?

    we moved from R to matlab. the community is bigger and we have build our own connection to the broker. so it can be done.

    Avoiding Curve fitting

    extensive testing will inevitably subject results to curve fitting. the problem of curve fitting is not merely addressable within code, it must include the human being doing the tests as well. example: consider you test a system with merely one indicator (assume there is a system with a...

    Who REALLY Caused The Financial Meltdown... and who tried to stop it

    ... that reps and dems are equally responsible. it was the bipartisan assumption that living on credit can last. iraq. funny freddie. shrinking saving rate balanced by real estate and stock gains. easy money by greenspan, bailing the sp out of ever flu ... get over it. a system has ended...

    the package(s) - do it

    i think it won't work. no matter what package, no matter how big. the economy cannot bail itself out and finally all the money the government has, is out of that very economy. BUT, if we are honest to ourselves, nobody KNOWS - we all, explicitly including me, are just GUESSING. after the...

    signs of inflation picking up

    sounds reasonable. but it is a little un-practical. i can have a gold bullion lying around and do not need to care about managing out. unlike a commodity basket. and buying a financial product on such basket scares me. eventually there is a financial company behind it and ... well ...

    signs of inflation picking up

    about my thinking. though i would see rising prices in restaurants at the moment more like an accidental thing. i might be wrong. but actually i am interested in any kind of thing that gives an early warning. gold is quite interesting. i guess the recent move can be seen partly as a flight...
