10%? Shit, that's nothing. I've traded 100% of the daily volume! :) Martin
You guys think a 35-40% marginal tax burden on earned income is high? Compared to Europe? What a joke. Martin
That's not a surplus. A smaller deficit is still a deficit. A surplus is a negative deficit. Martin
It'd be fun to buy a round lot of BRK-A through a discount broker. An $8 million order for a $1 commission. Martin
Notebooks are an ergonomic nightmare. If you want to use a notebook to trade (without an external keyboard) make sure you have good disability...
Einstein supposedly called compound interest mankind's greatest mathematical discovery. I think one of the greatest strategic mistakes of many...
No, it's not a matter of cost efficiency; it's a matter of energy efficiency as the original poster wrote. If ethanol production uses more energy...
I can't really argue the reusable vs. non-reusable case for launch vehicles. However, you should distinguish between critiquing the design of the...
Yeah, but it might have raised some minor technical problems like how the shuttle main motors are going to work when they're pointing straight at...

Open-high-low-close estimators converge faster and with a given amount of data tend to produce a more accurate result. If your strategy is...
There are a variety of volatility estimators some of which perform better or converge faster than a simple standard deviation, and are included in...

The 2005FPW is always cheaper than the 2001FP, although it is newer and has better specs. The 2001FP must be more expensive to manufacture, I...
This is an extremely well studied problem. You can go back to Markowitz' original 1952 paper, if you want, it's moderately readable. You can also...
So on the one hand the Saudis are running out of oil and hiding it from the market, on the other hand they are responsible for inflating prices?...
If you read the article, he's skeptical that the Saudis can sustain a production increase of more than 50% in less than a decade. That has nothing...
It is, to me, completely implausible that the Saudis would be hiding a desperate shortage of oil reserves. That basically would mean that they are...
Demand is increasing every year. Long before the Saudis reach peak production, their production will fall short of new demand. This has already...
The same observation has been made about new converts to other religions. Newfound faith seems to lend itself to fanaticism. Martin
