lof...ot ot ot random/static.....yes something can be random, and have no movement....because "random" as it applies to the luck of the draw is defined as "haphazard"......no motion or direction implied.... not confused as to "statistically all players in a game of poker have the same odds".......do you infer 50/50, win/lose, as that is what the odds are before the hand is dealt. the "odds" are the dynamic, as they change considerably as the "random" cards are dealt....surely you know that! market batters/pitchers.....you buy, you're the batter....you sell, more akin to the pitcher....the batter reacts to the pitcher...the buyer reacts to the seller...advantage to the seller or pitcher....that's why in baseball it's difficult to hit for a 300+ average....same in options.....but there are levels of proficiency for both buyer/seller....some not in the same league...that's why money is made, much as it is lost.... very simply you can't hit(buy) unless a pitch(sell) is offered. the dynamic is established with the offer...but motivation can be given the pitcher, if the batter begs him to throw... dell and the hbr....why read the article, as dry as it is...just read the book and compare it with books written almost twenty years prior........dell didn't invent the "business model"...they applied what was started in the early seventies to the assembly of white boxes, refined it, did an excellent job, grew because of the model they "adopted"....but md never gave credit in his book to the industry he copied....
