Hi George,

I fully agree with this. It is necessary to reduce information because we cannot process much of it, and we are lost, when we get conflicting signals. After all, by design, markets produce...

Hi George,

if you start a thread "Simba, The Best Trader in the World", and it turns out that Simba is not a lion, but just a dog - a dog that we do not know, maybe a poodle, a pekingese or one...

You are really mean.

This thread was about a dog, and you did not even let it participate in your competition. We all know that dogs cannot trade, but it is a question of politeness to let Simba...

There is more in that rat story than meets the eye.

The rat race (search for food under competitive restraints) is similar to a prisoner's dilemma. The strategies adopted by both rats and humans...

Rats versus humans

I tried to find the source for that rat story and could trace it back to two books by Philip Tetlock and Randy Gallistel. Although the story seems to be true, there is a catch. Rats and humans had...
