That this post even exists is simply evidence of the complete farce that the "market" has become.  

Now that the Fed has bailed out every last dead, corrupt, crony company in the entire nation, someone please explain to me how the undoing of all of this mess is likely to result in a vibrant economy once again?  Please, do tell.

Thank you Ben Bernanke...for this utter wasteland you have made for Average American Joe.

The market is a farce when all one needs to know is a single, spurious statistical trend to negate all fundamental analysis.

That belief in the trend, plus some sort of electronic buying device, and you're beating most hedge funds year after year. 

Now, just tell me when to lock in the gains. It doesn't have to be the day... just tell me what year reality and market forces will return.

That's not a library, it is a propaganda distribution center of the Ministry of Truth.

Real libraries are few and far between, but often worth the trip, the problem is the ones that aren't burnt down are often very selective about who they let in.

Their collections cater to distinct tastes, they often have public collections in addition to thier unique research collections, which are often targeted for destruction by rising or falling PTBs...  Given the thousands of years of civilization across varied populations - a list is impractical but here's a diverse set of examples that should be familiar to the US-centric ZH crowd-

 

Library of Ashurbanipal

Epang Palace (and the fires of Qin)

Imperial Library of Constantinople

The Library of al-Hakam

Bibliotheca Apostolica Vaticana

Bibliothèque nationale de France

The British Library/National Archives

The Library of Congress/National Archives

Department of Defense Research and Technical Libraries

The House of the Temple Library

The Federal Reserve Board Research Library

The Hoover Institute

Ahmed Baba Institute

 if one flips a fair coin 21 times, then the probability of 21 heads is 1 in 2,097,152. However, the probability of flipping a head after having already flipped 20 heads in a row is simply 1/2..   A Bayes application..  

As Bill Gross stated  on FED policy we can now put a number on how much it hurts.    Call it moral hazard. Marketet making, mark to bonus, failure to liquidated bad debt...  You Pick    and we keep the same people in office...  Well the numbers only work on a fair coin.........      Gee it  Just says "It's Tuesday"

...except, of course, when people start front-running the "fact" that on Tuesdays "equities always go up".

Then, you'd effectively add an increased selling pressure on the day itself, which would make it more likely to go down.

Of course, that this doesn't materialize matters little. Uncle Benny's splooge session continues.

Tue, 06/04/2013 - 09:18 | 3623159 Variance Doc
Variance Doc's picture

"A" for effort, "F" for execution.

A sequence of coin flips follows a binomial distribution (you can use a Bayesian approach, but why break out the good stuff for an easy problem?)  Thus, 0.5^21=4.768372e-07, which is the probability of getting heads or tails 21 times in a row (assuming the coin is fair, which many pointed out is unlikely in today's casino - FU BernanQE).  Let the event be fillping a coin 21 times and getting all heads in the experiment.

Now, the odds (not probability!!!!) for the event, which is the ratio of probability for over the probability against, is 0.5^21/(1-0.5^21)=4.768374e-07 to 1.  Note the numbers look similar, but they are different!

The odds (not probability!!!!)  against the event are (1-0.5^21)/0.5^21=2097151 to 1.

Finally, the reason the probabiity of getting heads on the next flip is just 0.5, is because the trials (flipps) are assumed independent; in reality, this is very violated.

At this rate it is guaranteed for me. Unless something changes quick I am on borrowed time. I played along up until this point. But even my morals are being compromised. I am in this business and have played the dividend and income game. But if TPTB are going to put the screws to everyone and force them into shit, I am sitting it out. Which means it won't be long until I am out altogether.
