a bit of populism...

trumping hmiself...

Yet, large and growing minorities in every country of Europe, and now in America, believe that not only is this proposition absurd, the end result could be national suicide. And when one considers the millions who are flocking to Trump and Sanders, it is hard to believe that the establishments of the two parties, even if they defeat these challengers, can return to same old interventionist, trade, immigration, and war policies.

For Trump is not the last of the populist-nationalists.

Given his success, other Republicans will emulate him. Already, other candidates are incorporating his message. The day Francis predicted was coming appears to have arrived. Angela Merkel may have been Time‘s Person of the Year in 2016, but she will be lucky to survive in office in 2017, if she does not stop the invasion from Africa and the Middle East.

Yet Joe Biden’s dismissal that it is reactionaries who oppose what the progressives of Davos believe is not entirely wrong. For as Georges Bernanos wrote, when Europe was caught between Bolshevism and fascism:

To be a reactionary means simply to be alive, because only a corpse does not react any more—against the maggots teeming on it.

a bit of derivative financial advice... place your bets...

Quantum binomial model[edit]

Chen published a paper in 2001,[3] where he presents a quantum binomial options pricing model or simply abbreviated as the quantum binomial model. Metaphorically speaking, Chen's quantum binomial options pricing model (referred to hereafter as the quantum binomial model) is to existing quantum finance models what the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein classical binomial options pricing model was to the Black–Scholes–Merton model: a discretized and simpler version of the same result. These simplifications make the respective theories not only easier to analyze but also easier to implement on a computer.

Multi-step quantum binomial model[edit]

In the multi-step model the quantum pricing formula is:


    C_0^N=\mathrm{tr}[(\bigotimes_{j=1}^{N}\rho_j){[S_N-K]}^+]

which is the equivalent of the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial options pricing model formula as follows:


    C_0^N=(1+r)^{-N}\sum_{n=0}^{N}\frac{N!}{n!(N-n)!}q^n{(1-q)}^{N-n}
    {[S_0{(1+b)}^n{(1+a)}^{N-n}-K]}^+

This shows that assuming stocks behave according to Maxwell-Boltzmann classical statistics, the quantum binomial model does indeed collapse to the classical binomial model.

Quantum volatility is as follows as per Meyer:[14]


    \sigma=\frac{\ln{(1+x_0+\sqrt{x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2})}}{\sqrt{1/t}}
 Bose-Einstein assumption[edit]

Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics can be replaced by the quantum Bose-Einstein statistics resulting in the following option price formula:


    C_0^N=(1+r)^{-N}\sum_{n=0}^{N}\left(\frac{q^n{(1-q)}^{N-n}}{\sum_{k=0}^{N}q^k{(1-q)}^{N-k}}\right){[S_0{(1+b)}^n{(1+a)}^{N-n}-K]}^+

The Bose-Einstein equation will produce option prices that will differ from those produced by the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein option pricing formula in certain circumstances. This is because the stock is being treated like a quantum boson particle instead of a classical particle.

Note that a lot of the www (World Wide Web) is based on the Bose-Einstein statistics.

kickass

Watching Trump is marvellous, a bit like watching Groucho in 1936. He’s not going to get away with this one is he? Jesus, he is, writes Bob Ellis.

TODAY HE pulled in Palin, and it … sort of worked. She has the brash charm of Lucille Ball and the strategic intelligence of Bilko, but under the current “she’s a celebrity, and celebrity’s what we want” rule of the Murdoch Right, she supplied him with the “completion” he needed to nail down the Iowa Christian Lunatic Right for the sixteen or eighteen days he needed it, and here we are.

His persuasiveness is remarkable. All you need in America these days is a good voice, conviction, apparent certitude, and, oh yes, enduring fame. Trump was famous for a decade for his “you’re fired” shows, just as Nixon was for twenty years before he was President for his anti-Commununist crusades – the most famous pro-Communuist President, that is – and Reagan for twenty years a man who slept with monkeys in Hollywood movies before he even mentioned politics.

Fame is all you need. It is an adequate subsitute, in America, for religion.

 

But … he’s got to be very, very careful with his cheeky-sneer-and-grin tactic, unprecedented since Davy Crockett’s. If the House of Commons won’t let him into England, is he doomed? He might be. America has a long tradition of the self-mocking leader-clown (Mark Twain, Bob Hope, Bill Clinton) and it’s hard to think of one who got the tactic wrong.

 

He has a lot more rope to hurt himself with than we think. Dick Cheney was allowed, after all, to shoot a friend in mistake for a duck. Gerald Ford injured many golf-playing friends. Dick Nixon was drunk most nights after eleven.

 

Another question he hasn’t actually addressed is the numbers. He will score a lot of anti-Mexican, anti-Latino Republicans in the next two weeks but the raw numbers he gets versus Hilary’s raw numbers in November will be far, far less because of the Mexican vote and the Afro-American vote and the female vote when it comes to election day.

 

His “surge” may be seen to be an illusion, an Iowa-illusion, a clown-illusion, a sort of Halloween joke. 

What happened to freedom of the press? Trump has bullied the media into submission, and it really wasn’t hard https://t.co/ecklRKPaR1

— Salon.com (@Salon) January 21, 2016

Is he likely to be one of those “Goldwater phenomenon” candidates (loud, defeatist slogans, wild cheers from the octogenarian faithful) who cries, loudly, what a few dumb-ass provincial oldies yearn to hear as the ship goes down in the Titanic icebergs of popular inevitability.

And we will see what we shall see.

the emperor has no clothes...

Conservatives shaken by the rise of Donald Trump have appealed to Republicans not to support his presidential candidacy, uniting in a full-blown attack from the pages of an influential conservative magazine.

The National Review, a leading voice of the American right founded by the late commentator William F Buckley, targeted the Republican presidential frontrunner in an "Against Trump" cover, editorial and essays.

"Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favour of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones," it said.

External Link: Independent Journal tweets photo of National Review cover

The publication followed up with essays by 22 conservative figures who took turns denouncing Mr Trump.

Calling him "astoundingly ignorant", a "charlatan", a "glib egomaniac" and plain "crazy", the conservatives expressed revulsion at the prospect of Mr Trump becoming president and what he might do to the US and the Republican brand.

"This is a crisis for conservatism," said talk show host and author Glenn Beck in one of the essays.

David McIntosh, president of the Club for Growth wrote: "Trump beguiles us, defies the politically correct media, and bullies anyone who points out that the emperor has no clothes."

two corinthians walk into a bar...

 

Donald Trump is working overtime to show his "Christian" credentials to the evangelicals. Some of the evangelicals are not so sure about him "coming late" to visit god's kingdom of sinners on planet forgiveness... In his latest effort at the Liberty University, some evangelicals were not impressed.

 

 

Is Donald Trump a Double Minded Man?


Trump Saying 'Two Corinthians' Doesn't Matter; His Heresy Does

 

 

I guess a double-minded man is a hypocrite?

 

Here comes Tom Delay:

 

Trump came happily to work his shtick on the "nice religious people" — as he put it — packing the Liberty University arena. Sadly, Trump gave an incoherent speech consisting mostly of lines that pandered to his audience.

The performance was insulting to Christians everywhere. I wonder if the majority of the Liberty audience grasped that fact?

But one of the evangelicals was more forgiving:

The Family Research Council's Tony Perkins said Donald Trump's recent Bible gaffe at Liberty University proves the 2016 presidential candidate is "not familiar with [the] Bible."

Perkins, a conservative Evangelical leader, made his comments after Trump blamed his reference of "Second Corinthians" as "Two Corinthians" on Perkins.

Perkins told CNN's Erin Burnett this week that he is "guilty as charged" for writing some helpful notes for Trump ahead of his speech at the Christian university on Martin Luther King, Jr. day.

"No, I don't dispute it at all. I wrote the scripture reference, which is 2 Corinthians 3:17, [17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.] which is how it's written," Perkins told Burnett on "OutFront" this week.

"I'm guilty as charged. That's exactly what I did. I sent him a couple of suggestions of some things he could talk about as a connection point," Perkins continued, adding that Trump's mistake "shows that he's not familiar with Bible."

Gus: Donald Trump might have told it differently: "Two Corinthians walk into a bar...". I don't really care what he said and mucked up, apart from Donald being a rude slapstick idiotic demagogue comedian in search of a gig at the White House. "God help us !"

 

So let's leave the (nearly) last words to Donald himself:

 

After telling an Alabama pep rally in August 2015 that his favorite book is the Bible, Trump declined to name his favorite Bible verse when asked by Bloomberg's "With All Due Respect," prompting speculation on his actual knowledge of the Holy Book.

"I wouldn't want to get into it. Because to me, that's very personal," Trump told Bloomberg in August 2015. "The Bible means a lot to me, but I don't want to get into specifics."

The 2016 presidential candidate, who identifies as a Presbyterian, also said he doesn't ask God for forgiveness while speaking at a Q&A at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa in July 2015.

When asked by moderator Frank Luntz if he's ever asked God for forgiveness, Trump replied: "I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so."

"I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't," Trump added. 

The presidential candidate clarified that he believes his taking of the Holy Communion is an act of forgiveness.


"When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed," he said. "I think in terms of 'let's go on and let's make it right.'"

Donald is a teatotaler. Gus is a boozer. Donald is a successful snake oil merchant, a granny's real estate fobber and he does not know what he's talking about (including the Bible and religious matters) beyond these sticky merchandising feat — but he tries hard to spin votes from the religious sector.

Gus is a fierce new atheist — becoming fiercer and fiercer when seeing guys like Donald Trump getting away with it... I guess the media (the MMMM) is to be blamed for encouraging him. But most of the MMMM (Mediocre Mass Media de Mierda) is owned  or influenced by our own Rupert Murdoch who promoted Tony Abbott to the fore (I guess Uncle Rupe made a bet with himself to get the unelectable elected). The result was beyond despair. And the bad smell lingers...

kill the witches !... they give you warts !...

One startling feature of the latest race to become the next president of the US - which begins in earnest with next week's Iowa caucuses - is the runaway success in the opinion polls of the outspoken billionaire, Donald Trump. But this should not be so surprising, says Michael Goldfarb, as Trump is just the latest example of a tendency in American politics that goes back a very long way.

Fear.

The simple four-letter word that works if you want to get elected. Political professionals know that playing on people's fears - going negative - is the way to win.

Paranoia.

A somewhat fancier word that is used to describe excessive, irrational fear and distrust. It, too, works from time to time - in American politics, at least.

This current presidential season is one of those times. Donald Trump has surged to the front of the pack competing for the Republican Presidential nomination by giving voice to outsized fears many in America have - of illegal immigrants, of Islamic terrorists, of free trade agreements shipping American jobs to China.

Trump promises to make America Great Again - as if the US somehow was no longer the most powerful country in the world - by simple solutions: deporting all 11 million illegal immigrants, banning Muslims from entering the US, and forcing the Chinese government to back down through tough talk.

The phrase "paranoid style in American politics" was coined by the late historian Richard Hofstadter. He defined the Paranoid Style, "an old and recurrent phenomenon in our public life which has been frequently linked with movements of suspicious discontent."

In a country that at its best radiates an infectious optimism, it is interesting how often fear has stalked the American landscape.

Richard Parker, who lectures on religion in the early days of America at Harvard's John F Kennedy School of Government, traces paranoia in American public life back to the Salem Witch Trials in the late 17th Century and even before that, to the religious politics of the Mother Country.

Donald Trump’s Twitter Insults:
