Who are these "analysts"? Media celebrities? Despite criticism, this is the stuff that micro-economists John Muth and Robart Lucas and others envisaged when formulating the rational expectations hypothesis. Macro economists assume people are pretty ...

U.S. consumer sentiment slips in early February

Amongst other things, I watch lumber futures. In March 20 they touched about $250 or so. Now around the $950 mark (all a bit depending on which expiration month you are looking at). Not so straightforward, of course, as I don't know of any supply ...

Star Wars at Central Banks

Victoria's Marxist leader is known as Chairman Dan (and even less flattering unpublishable names) due to his very close association with China. He hates the State and its people he is supposed to serve, delighting in bringing it to the edge of ...

AU's Victoria State To Enter 5 Day Lockdown To Start At Midnight Friday

But Keynes did make an observation in 1936 that is directly and sadly only too applicable to todays circumstances, even though he had not ever witnessed any examples. That was pretty clever. You'd know that. Circumstances change which necessitates ...

US Dollar’s Purchasing Power Drops to Record Low, Despite Aggressive “Hedonic Quality...

Guest - you have deflected from maybe a useful discussion of EMA filters (high pass, low pass, one or more poles and any -preferably mathematically optimal - combination) to an analysis of an appropriate measure of risk, which is a discussion on ...

US Dollar’s Purchasing Power Drops to Record Low, Despite Aggressive “Hedonic Quality...

There are a million guests on this tremendous forum. I'm fussy as to who I respond to. This is my choice. Having said that, I'd start with your opening words - "EMA's tell very little about the future of price direction". I like to call EMAs ...

Gold: Continuing to See Sellers Above

Quite so. To say that "the problem is not so much that the the money is being printed out of thin air" is devoid of any understanding. You introduce microeconomics. This is tremendous. Macroeconomics as is promoted to the unwashed is handwaving and ...

US Dollar’s Purchasing Power Drops to Record Low, Despite Aggressive “Hedonic Quality...

You introduce some interesting angles which of course nobody has ever thought of before. I'd like to comment and maybe contribute but you are a guest.

North Korea Stole $300m in Cryptocurrency to Fund Nuclear Programmes: UN Experts

yes, but there are other kickers as well - that if a government artificially maintains an exchange rate, market forces may (I say - "will") eventually lead to the demise of that policy. As with any bureaucratically set price. As if that is some ...

How ‘Trading Frenzies’ Affect the Real Economy

One day you say Soros is some kinda terrorist, and the next day you say that I can "start"(!!?) my education of hedge funds and Soros by reading a book. Bit like me asserting without evidence that Nelson Mandela was a terrorist, and instead of ...

The who, what and where of Elon Musk's $100 million prize money for carbon capture innovation

I can't see it, myself, and I'm inclined to think that you may be needin' some schoolin', dude. Terrorism - the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

The who, what and where of Elon Musk's $100 million prize money for carbon capture innovation

One believes in that what *he* does is for the betterment of the human race, and this is apparently newsworthy for people who are not so good at maths. The other has contributed over twelve billion dollars to civil initiatives to reduce poverty and ...

The who, what and where of Elon Musk's $100 million prize money for carbon capture innovation

Yang told the US to not interfere in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong. "“No one can stop the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” he told Blinken." I dunno who can work with Marxists except on their rules. I'm not convinced Biden appreciates ...

Does Mr Musk have a conscience that is bothering him? Surely not possible.
