BGR.If playing the tape and timing the market has the same interpretation as mine, then I can offer you for a even money play, that the odds would be better as 3:1 in his favor.

Provided that his formula incorporates one variable which is the result of converting a philosophical position about physics and astrology into something.

One of the ring leaders of this thread calls himself Lucretius, he bears the same name as man of past ages. The "the real Mc Coy" (also known as/or "DE RERUM NATURA")laid down some very convincing stuff within the framework of General picurean Principles (possibly not easy understandable without herbs and spices) that:

Nothing comes from nothing. Nothing becomes nothing.

Another bright light going by the name Aristotle plays a role in the proposed formula as well. This great artist voiced that "Prior" to something else- there is something.

What I am saying is that the only "thing" possible to be there "a priori" is a big fat 0 .

My affirmation-further confirmed- by s soon to be presented working model relating to "Timing the market or playing the tape", would make both ghosts very happy. I guess. They found EDDY BLINKER who will set the record straight over Kant and all the rest.(Just bragging.<g>)

Now where was I?. Ah.... "the zero sum game".
