  1. On where the mkt "Can Not" go...Rather then will go
    ...it's some theory done some 200 years ago.

  2. This is the error most people do. Physics can be applied because its tools are very good to predict the behavior of crowds...and not of single entities !

    Economics has always used tools from physics to describe the markets (randowm walk, hamiltonian, ...), but at one moment they were blocked just because it was not possible for an economist to grasp the more advanced concepts of physics. Physicists are now doing that themselves but the evident gap of knowledge between economists and physicists makes that physicists articles are almost never accepted in the economics litterature.

  3. I think about 25% go to education, 25% to consulting, 25% to business in general (including finance and management) and 25% stay in the academic world.

  6. if U recall R in Fluids Mechanics...
    Renolds Number for dimentionless analysis
    sort of searches for 97.5% of the maximum values----> where something is not so likely to go more then 2.5% of the time...well then ...there U go as an example
    GL.. :)

  7. Risk = Arabic Term by the way
    Risk = Rezg...how it's pronounced
    Introduced to Italians By Arab Merchants
    + same ones Introduced Double entry and Arabic Numerials (0,1,2...9)
    Simply Means Income....
    Does not mean in total Taking chances...
    cause Income depends on Risk and Not Visa Vera.
    Sort of Like Weight Depends on Hight...and Not...etc

  8. toc

    The 'NATURAL LAW' says that there is 'no space and no time', trying to solve the markets via physics and mathematics is a futile exercise...............an illussion of the MATRIX!

    "I am sorry, I made it all up

    I am an awful person, but hey there is so much worse bull s**t on ET, its okay if I add some of mine

    but what if I didn't make it up, okay okay lets not go into that guessing direction.

    look all I know is that if this is real, it would work better in FOREX.

    it makes sense that it would, forex is so much more like fluids."






    No problem, although in my search for information I came across a statement that says, "Seven of the global top ten investment banks are now using Fractal Maps for risk management, trading and reporting applications."

    So, if anyone has any information around that...it would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks kamisu

  10. I am familiar With Risk in terms of computations
    Like Value at Risk or (from 200 years) called Mean Max and Mean Min
    and Multi-asset Risk...in the same Manner as VaR = Value at risk
    Not familiar with above tho
