some real cutting edge nanotech application here: electric motors in a single molecule. The potential for health care is extraordinary
raising the margins on gold is the government’s way of making it harer for people who can see what they are doing to the currency and the economy to profit. As a way of comparison, the chart below shows the effects on silver when the same tool was used.

some analysis in our chatroom today examined hundreds of symbols (ETFs and large cap stocks) that make their high of the day or low of the day in the first hour of trading. To our surprise there are a considerable number who’s probability of an early high or low of the day is greater than 95%.
That’s a staggering number, especially when we examine how much follow thru after the first hour there can be; we’ll be working this up into a tarding staregy pretty quickly because we like the odds and the additional control it gives over our trading, once the morning shenanigans at the open are past

SLV had its first day of pullback in recent memory. All the metals futures are up and so it remains to be seen how much correction there will actually be

I am thinking about “efficiency” in time(t) as Gain/TrueRange(sum)
the TrueRange = sum of distance travelled on the way to getting the gain
think of a perfect ramp from groundlevel to mountaintop
think of rolling hills from groundlevel to mountaintop
think of a series of identically high mountains from ground level to mountaintop
think of 5 mountain twice as high as the mountain you end up on
how hard did you have to work to get to the final mountain top?
that’s efficiency
the load you are carrying along the way = (your fears x your greed x your hope)
the load each trade is carrying = sumproduct of all your emotions
the more emotions you are carrying, the harder each trade is “to lift”
without your emotions, the trade is simply the ruleset at work
when you add your emotions each trade is working harder because of the extra load you have introduced
Some excellent insights into the power of quality connections and the network effect with respect to R&D, innovation and open borders
Hard times call for new solutions and we are starting to take a good hard look at how innovation really works and what we can do to improve performance. Recent reports from theOECD on national innovation strategy represent a big shift from the old linear models that start with R&D and end in successful products. One of the major points from a study of innovation indicators is that the measurement of R&D is a poor indicator of innovation. Even in Australia where there are tax benefits for R&D spend, the product innovation difference between firms that report R&D and those that don’t is minimal
