After all, that's what capitalism is all about, right. And when I said "the human side of things". I didn't mean from a sympathetic perspective. I meant that we also have to look at other factors than just what the numbers tell us. Things like international factors, the different decisions that ppl make depending on what market your looking at, etc. So in other words, doing the math isn't the only thing that will help us predict something or understand something. We need to view things as a bigger picture.But I was just tired of hearing a lot of ppl constantly boasting about the fact that they know black-scholes equation, monte-carlo, computer programming etc, etc. It gets a little boring hearing about how everyone knows the same stuff. This to me won't be getting anyone's "pocket's fatter". Especially when ppl can't differentiate themselves from the competition. If everyone knows how to count 5+5 and nothing different, then how can we claim to have a comparative advantage that can "destroy the competition"?</blockquote>
