@Spoonman: Classic.

For CV and AmenRa, I posted a Market post 1 minute before your "wrap" so as not to "top" your finishing "Wrap." CV can use it anyway he might like. Just highlighting for some of the friends...

@Andy

Got it...

Leaving "Amen's Corner" as the active thread here... I posted 1 comment on your thread (but we'll keep it as a fantastic wave reference)...

@Amen

Thanks again... VIX VIX VIX... No Fear right?

Don't these people know Halloween is coming?

Oh no wait... It's...

drumroll...

THE ELECTIONS...

Cv has to go now to catch...

C'MON MAN!

There's no way to roll back the clock on computerization. HFT is just another step. Eventually, computers will put most of Wall Street workers out of business.

That will be a good thing, for at least 2 reasons:

- First, these usually-smart, often hard-working folk will do something else with their time. I argue that it will be more productive than the s*** they do now. In other words, computers will kill what our ineffective, compromised government cannot.

- Second, when a lot of these lower/mid-ranking "don't-mess-with-capital-or-I'll-go-Galt" types get laid off, they'll rediscover the concerns of the rest of America. They'll realize it's a new era and ask themselves "what's next for us as a society?" Having fewer voters/campaign-donors in favor of the status quo implies a greater chance for change.

So, rather than fight structural change and draw it out painfully, I welcome any way to expedite it. To me, HFT is a step in the right direction.

Hey, Bruce, am I sounding East Tennessee-an?? (Actually, several months ago when you said that, I forgot to ask you: what does that mean??) ;-)

@wunsacon

yeah maybe they can then computerize politicians, and central bankers...

We can have multple sets of algo programs depending on which percent of "red" & "blue" candidates are running for whatever...

- Executive Branch
- Senate
- House
- Judicial seats

Just PROGRAM in the results, and you get the government you DESERVE...

I'm sure glad my FOOD doesn't grow that way...

Wunsacon:

as a transplant, you have to know the lingo.

Y'uns is the same as Y'all is the same as You People..

Fixin' is the same as About to or Soon

Bernanke is the same as Beelzebub..


...Nothing to it really...

BinT said...

See y'uns in the a.m.

>> We can have multple sets of algo programs depending on which percent of "red" & "blue" candidates are running for whatever...

Thank you, CV. I will pitch that idea at my next meeting with the Diebold product management team. ;-)

>> I'm sure glad my FOOD doesn't grow that way...

CV, I know you've chuckled at my meager attempts to stockpile food (i.e., a few months' supply of "Mountain House"). Well, I bought my first mini-soybeans contract. Over time, I will accumulate more. *If* the counterparties survive our upcoming bought of hyperinflation, well, that's my "food stash". ;-)

These people:

don't seem to understand how lucky they've been and why they should be grateful with the checks (and whatever other bennies) they get.

wunsacon said...

Ah, okay. Thanks, BT.

Good nite, CV.

I think Brett Favre is wishing he had just stayed retired the last few years. There's lots of cute tail in Mississippi...he could have had ALL of it...

Instead, he just looks like a washed out dirty old QB.

Will be difficult to repair all of this.

he's a great example of why men seem so DUMB.

speaking of DUMB, the latet buyout rumour:

Boy they are calling Japans bluff. Yen at 1.22+, USDJPY at 81.89.

AmenRa said...

Good game yesterday.
