hafilax Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Oh sure. Blame the physicists. Let's all blame the physicists for the financial markets. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 If physicists ran the financial markets they would blow up more spectacularly. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Didn't you hear? There will be no next time. Since international capitalism has just had its Berlin Wall moment and is now bankrupt, from now on it's central economic planning, the cowrie shell standard, and barter. Quote
prole Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Wait for the Christmas retail sales analysis. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Market physics: "What goes up, must come down." Quote
hafilax Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Actually, I think I know more people with PhD's in physics who have gone into finances than have continued in physics. I'm willing to bet that the warnings about the black-box approach to finances were ignored. Quote
j_b Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Can you believe that according to free market zealots, this incredible display of negligence and fraud argues for more deregulation? Oh yeah, don't forget "war is peace". Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 When unobserved, the financial system is a superposition of all possible states. Since some of those states are quite high indeed, the average potential value rises. When observed however, it collapses suddenly to a lower real-world value. Quote
tomtom Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Didn't you hear? There will be no next time. There was a next time after the last time. There will be a next time after this time. And another one after that. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Wait, how about "loop quantum finance?" Quote
General Zod Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 If physicists ran the financial markets they would blow up more spectacularly. But behind schedule. The Large Hadron Collider won't be online till Spring. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I wonder if this physicist went on to work in finance? Quote
hafilax Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 On closer inspection the elephant actually looks a lot like this: Quote

Hugh Conway Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 or like this? he took 300 mil, bankrupted the company and now he feels "bad"! are we supposed to feel bad for him? motherfucker has some nerve! Alan Fishman made $19 million for 3 weeks work at Washington Mutual. His company was seized by the government Quote
