The ideas of the Pythagoreans were based on thoughts expressed in words and symbols. They were not based on numbers as we know them today, suggesting that proportion was used to define and develop mathematics and not vice versa. Understanding proportions, geometry or symmetry remains a key element and mathematics which does not take patterns […]
Flexibility and patience are virtues, if timing is unclear. Market’s understanding of patterns has evolved, but we as a society are still poor in timing. This is why we rely more on patterns viz. crisis patterns, excitement patterns, fear patterns, euphoria patterns, seasonal patterns, fundamental patterns, information patterns, sales patterns, earning patterns, immigration patterns, trade […]
In the last WAVES.GLOBAL, we talked about seasonal weakness and the end of Feb or early Mar cycle should see lower prices. As anticipated prices are heading lower and DOW is nearing 1997 levels. Markets are always full of surprises, so the surprise for us now is not that whether DOW will reach 1997 levels […]
History makes observations regarding consistent economic and cultural growth by being self reliant. Revisiting those lessons might suggest a way out of the ongoing crisis.
The gold dollar was a United States dollar coin produced from 1849 to 1889. Composed of 90% pure gold, it was the smallest denomination of gold currency ever produced by the United States federal government. When the US system of coinage was originally designed there had been no plans for a gold dollar coin, but […]
WAVES.GLOBAL 06 Nov 2008 we said that Nov lows should hold. It is three months since then, DOW is still above respective lows at 7,500.

Such high probability forecasts are generally prone to error because even if ‘TIME FRACTALS’ and ‘PRICE FRACTALS’ were perfect, the human ability to see patterns and form is not. Above this market’s have an ability to surprise or markets always […]

We don’t think the Lynch record is unassailable, human brightness is limitless, a double edged sword, determination to succeed versus spending time hiding evidence and failure. This reminds me of a Bill Naughton short story I read in school titled ‚seventeen oranges’. Clem Jones’s (the delivery boy at docks) love for oranges puts him in trouble when Pongo the policeman decides to punish him. There was no escape, locked in the hut and with the oranges on the table, Clem had to think of a fast solution before Pongo brought a witness. The inner voice ’Oh, my god! What can i do? Eat the oranges. Eat the evidence. No time to eat, you have to swallow the pips too.’
Piata de capital pare sa fie intr-o continua depresie. Preturile au scazut cu 90% si par acum sa oscileze in jurul valorilor din octombrie 2008. Cum reactionam noi la aceasta succesiune de prabusiri ale pietelor financiare? Suntem speriati, lacomi, pesimisti in ceea ce priveste viitorul apropiat. Insa ca intotdeauna suntem speriati in momentul nepotrivit. Teama […]
