Back when I worked in AI (mid 80's to early 90's) one saw AI as having a number of components. Namely Expert Systems, Machine Intelligence and...
No argument on the speed aspect to analyze and make a decision. I trade mostly on feel, trading the same stocks over and over. I tend to know the...
EXACTLY to your last sentence. In the late 80's I worked on a AI manufacturing scheduling system. And it was basically where we did knowledge...
I'd say as long as you're not drawing down your retirement assets to fund the renovations then you're doing the right thing. I paid off my...
I thought it was bad paying $25 each way in the 90's (ISLD, INCA, etc.) but at least we were trading fractions then versus penny spreads now....
