Not what I am really thinking of, more about the structure of the company, patents etc. Patents - important in society that put property rights at top - Elroy taught me about the sheepland in britain of yesteryear and Mr. Rob Roy - then I read this on slashdot: yro.slashdot.org Perens Dismisses Torvald's Patent Pool Posted by CmdrTaco on Saturday August 13, @02:26PM from the he-should-start-a-non-profit-asap dept. ficken writes "Open source activist Bruce Perens has dismissed as inadequate a new IP initiative backed by Linus Torvalds. The Open Source Development Labs' (OSDL) patent commons project is intended to provide patent protection to open source developers. Perens, speaking at LinuxWorld, compared the patent pool to "spitting in the wind" -because the patents it contained come from "the wrong people."" and THEN how the valuation stacks up vs. other firms. The successful firm is only the first neccessary condition in finding a good investment. I already watch expert economists tell me how hard it is to trust government and business that cook books - even hard to trust other economists that dont want to admit EMH is phony - hehe. What do you think of the current regulatory environment in the US - specifically new guy in the SEC? Did you have opinion on guy that just left SEC? But they don't. All the finance profs are telling everyone it doesn't work. Why are they saying this - those folks at the MTA are getting profs to try and teach this stuff at University - are you a chartered market technician - prechter is no? Are you trying to get a program started at your university in this regard to pass on the knowledge? Knowledge that if everyone had would remove your edge? The Market Technicians Association (MTA), incorporated in 1973, is the national organization of market analysis professionals in the United States. This not-for-profit association has this mission: Educate the public and the investment community to the value and universality of technical analysis. Canadian Securities Institute csi.ca Improve your ability to determine investment price trends with the Canadian Securities Institute's Technical Analysis Course. You'll analyze historical market information and measure probable price movements and potential gains. You'll learn charting methods, how to make projections and how to apply quantitative analysis and other techniques to improve the quality of your investment decisions. MTA has this software: MTPredictor mtpredictor.com MTPredictor trading software is designed exclusively for traders to Risk/Reward trade using our unique Isolation Approachtm to Elliott Wave. It takes the trader through a clear 4-stage process - to automatically identify key trade set-ups in the markets What have you heard of it MOO? See moo I am a software guy, and I have seen IBM computers beat kasparov, and when people tell me their human brain can see things that software cannot, I just don't think long term that is realistic, because anything your brain can see, I can program - have you read Asimovs I Robot? Do you feel the machines talked about in the end of that book are not a possible near future reality? Now remember Redfish on the real estate board, Message 21602718 investors lost money in orlando because guy said he had CRAY computer to do investments, it was a fraud, and remember link you just post about KL financial boys in palm beach - Kim tell richie types he had SHARP CHARTS (TM) system to find the big money - like shorting GOOG - HAHA - I wonder if Isolation Approach (TM) by MTpredictor is similar to Kims SHARP CHARTS - hehe - all too funny to me - hehe. Why not? I'm just a dumb econ prof who uses econometrics professionally (and published 50+ papers etc. etc.) and has a contrarian bent.... Haha, dumb or smart, I always enjoy your commentary MOO. hehe Especially the personal stories you share - I love that stuff. In the end the results count. I posted my learning curve... Maybe the outperformance won't hold up. We will see. Behavior modeling of human herds, that is the frontier my programming friends involved in wall street are gunning for. Once you can predict human emotion with the machine - what edge will any person be able to retain long term? If you don't think we are already doing it - how long into the future before you think our machines are? I have one programmer friend, his models work, until he share them and others use them, then they work no more. The edge was diffused. He want to be much richer, so now he no longer share his models so keep others in dark - I hate his incentive to keep people dumb.
