burros-ark update, some housekeeping: please welcome 2 new members, blackbird (ravensfan) and chameleon (usercuz). also please bid a fond farewell to elephant and racoon. nothing personal, the numbers were just too overwhelming for my gray matter calculator. well it is kind of personal, but i'll get to that part later. one might think that 13 arkers times 5 variables equals 65 things to consider, but it is not that way. since everything relates, the process is more like 13^5 which comes out to 371,293 possibilities. if you try 15^5 it is in the neighborhood of 3/4 million variables. and that doesn't leave much room left over for factoring in world events, politics, graft, or personal bias. i'm telling you when you take something to the 5th it gets really complicated, it took me a fifth just to try to wrap my head around it let alone understand it. so 13 it is. two enter, and two exit.
elephant, you're fired. you never move and you don't need the money anyways. you served as an anchor but now you're dragging us down. i don't need to track when you move because you will only move once and when you do the whole investing universe will feel it in such a way that market conditions make the ark irrelevant. bon voyage, i hope you can swim. walk the plank.
racoon, you're fired. the socialist share everything model is not a good fit for a capitalistic money making system. bon voyage, i hope you can't swim. walk the plank.
so there you have it folks, we remain at 13 players, enjoy the game, and good luck.

burros-ark signal: buy. i know, i know, i don't like it either, especially since the system is committed to each trade at least until the next monday, and these are very volatile times, but the numbers don't lie. buy. i suspect the system is indicating the whole greece matter will soon be on a clear path to resolution. whether they fly or die is irrelevant i think, so long as the trajectory is known, the market hates unpredictability and punishes those who hesitate. buy.
side note: i am going tdy travel status for a while beginning next week and will check in as circumstances allow, my personal account is itching to make a quick few day score, but i should probably take a break, especially from the politics threads because some of them jerkwads are really peesing me off and it's been awhile since i got banned. to all, smooth sailing.
