Good tunes - very relaxing. Reminds me of the hank hill episode where he went to the indian casino - hehe or was that the simpsons episode where they go to the indian casino - I get it all so confused. Phil said it is a great thing when on a big hurricane day the market rallys 80 points - lets you know who really has control of our markets - those boys in the pits - hehe. He said he used to be an oil pit trader way way back - takes a crook to catch a crook I say. Moo already said before its the speculators jamming these prices up. I will wait for his golden mean magic to tell us where to short, what price, when.ucl.ac.uk Model predicts how to get ahead in the research stakes The conundrum over whether to share interim research results or play your cards close to your chest has been answered, the 2005 World Congress of the Econometric Society, which is hosted by UCL (University College London), will hear today. Dr David Gill of Trinity College, Oxford University , has developed the first model that predicts whether academics or industry research and development (R&D) should release their results under particular market conditions. He says the model could be adopted as a ‘best practice' model of how to operate. ....By analysing this trade-off using a form of game theory, Dr Gill was able to determine the best strategy, under given market conditions, when the leader should disclose results to try to induce the rival to quit. I keep showing articles from the pro's that tell MOO maybe he should quit, but he is convinced otherwise - hehe. I wonder if he has used Dr. Gills models?
