    Well it's the "best" estimator but it doesn't mean it's a good estimator and majority of the times, it isn't. The best estimator nowdays is Trump or Kim Jong Un at one point. LOL

    I was under the impression if a sacred cow was struck, you couldn't eat the thin beef or jail-able offense? Might be wrong, but wouldn't take long to gut, have to take care and not hit all the bones with little meat on them. I am guessing though you wouldn't want to eat it, water is polluted and so much trashed. Have quart of Pepto right after.

    "Lots"??? You'd have quite a hard time to name half-a-dozen.

    However, securing data on them in a timely fashion... wow. THAT would be an assignment.

    i agree with this......though if a trend exists then it is predictable

    1. Sometimes market appears to be random but actually there is pattern.
    And that's where we need to be alert.

    2. Sometimes market is random, and appears to have pattern.
    And that's where we lost money trading such market.

    3. Sometimes market is truly random.
    Very easy to trade because we wouldn't be trading

    the passengers are not just retail but institutional as well, they also have no clue

    the picture is wrong since its assumes that there is somebody (instututionals) who drives the train , there are not ...:)

    instead of the train i would show it as the ship of fools, which is in the hands of the elements of the sea waves and wind gusts

    and the elements are not random but predictable, but who knows the filed of the meteorology? :)

    There is nothing like grilling a steak in the humid heat of Mumbai.
