this guys are a fad,  just like the chaos
with non linear dynamics.
a bunch of theoreticians that decided 
to beat the market with number 
crunching.... ha ha.
well,  they could not beat the roulette
in the first place.

i read the book they wrote...
 multivariate models + a bit of chaos 
+ non linear curve fitting +
ga's +  model tinkering ( best fit ) + 
luck + oconnor moving the market
with those orders... 
just about all current technology 
you can throw into the kitchen 
sink to see the future.
i smiled a lot when i read the book.

and do they have IT? nope.
they still don't know what the 
underlying structure is and what 
it takes to trade right.
plus they are talking too much, writing 
books, bragging about it  and all.
no good, no cool.
those who have IT don't talk at all,
let alone writing a book and giving 
away pointers left and right...
the book is worth reading though.
tells you how a couple of guys who 
never traded but have some brains decided 
to beat the market by  pitching their 
"top stuff" to the highest bidder in Chicago.
bilo.
ps. 
you know what, 100 years from now,
1000 years from now, it will be 
the same thing... just different technology.
you don't need to predict the 
markets to make money ...
that's what they missed in the first 
place.
the only way you can predict the market
is to send a guy one day ahead 
in the future with a one way radio 
you need a time machine for that.
i have it. any volunteers?
