A Test for Sandsted

[xupz]

As a successful statistician, you, xu, ap and Carls etc must be very rich by having used it successfully to build up your stock portfolios? Also are now barred from the gambling Casinos because of your infallable successes based upon probabilities??

Well I haven't got into stock analysis yet, never been one of my things. I prefer real estate, but I'll get into stocls at some point for sure. As for casinos, there's no point. The only game I can think of that doesn't have a house advantage is poker as you're playing the rest of the table while the casino only takes a rake to host the game, and parimutuel betting. Everything else though has long been analyzed by thousands of mathematicians and statisticians to ensure that in the long run, casinos will always come up ahead. For everyone who has come out of the casino a winner, there's way more who have lost. If you keep going, it's mathematical certainty that you will come up losing in the end because of the house advantage. There's ways to negate the advantage, like the MIT black jack group who got caught, but they're all considered cheating by the casinos.

Seriously though, the idea that you can infer anything from the way someone speaks on a forum, ONLINE, only tells me you're not in the "know" or rather arrogant in your ability to judge others online. There's just some levels people can't hang with online, but here's an idea, how about you spend say 10+ years on IRC and let me know how well your psychological junk applies to the way people speak online

A foregone conclusion in egotistical self delusion that you can beat it in any one group over the long period. Perhaps by widely diversifying you can show small gains but.. Incidentally do you know of any stats. that have become rich this way? There must be some.

As for real estate, have you made a killing by anticipating the blow up?

Hey peeps, ""aa"" he admits that he misjudged you, his own words, although he never would apologize , now that IS arrogance.

sigh, talk about putting your proverbial foot into it, you have done an excellent job xu. sheesh . As a side thingie, what IS your claim to Psychological interpretation, evaluation, and training??

I will put my personal pesos on Judy every time compared to you and your past record on psychological profiling.

Define how "rich" you consider rich and I'll let you know of people who meet that definition. One of my professors was making well over $500k a year doing outside consulting work on top of his salary. I consider him "rich". Bill Gates on the other hand probably would laugh. And no I haven't made a killing. I've had most of my money tied up in my business for the past couple of years and it's just now getting to where I can have more freedom with it. We'll see how it goes.

******************
I would tend to agree but that is not by playing the market or using it for external fields to get money, etc which was what we were discussing.

As for potential earnings, sheehs On the Escondida -incidentally they have agreed to my conditions - I may end up with 2-3,000,000 US over the next few years. As for Tayopa, I won't go into it except that it far far outstrips La Econdida.

I must admit that it has been a long time in comming, but my grand kiddies will enjoy it, the lazy bums.One is a graduate Business Adminstator thinking, horrors, of adding statistics.

=Jean310 .Along those same lines of consistency, if every dowser that takes part in a test or challenge, is more likely to fail; wouldn't this situation in itself tend to suggest that dowsing is in general on a par with guessing? Ooops, I forgot, I suppose those tests and challenges were flawed.
**********
I am glad that you said flawed not I. (being facetious) .

When I took the Mensa test I was informed that I rated fairly high.....

Troical Tramp

I know this is off topic, but ------

You know, I find it absolutely incredible that someone could make over 2400 postings on this forum, scored high(?) on the Mensa test, and yet to this day has not been able to figure out how to properly quote a previous message in their replies. You got to be doing that on purpose. Why do you make it so hard to read?

And, while I'm still off topic, let me respond to your swipe about me only quoting a part of someone's previous message. For your information, that method is considered good practice when my reply only has bearing on the part I quoted. Hope you understand, because I will be continuing to do it. Besides, it saves bandwidth too.

[Jean310]

Now, now...Jean...

You're using stink bait on that hook.... . You know as well as I do that this is why tests of this nature don't accomplish anything but add more fuel to the propaganda machine. In fact....I believe the tobacco companies used this method of discarding unfavorable data to deny a link between smoking and cancer. Marketing companies use it extensively. I believe you are leading the witness here....

BTW...you've never mentioned what your particular field was...have you? Maybe I missed it somewhere......

Judy

Honey.... I'm not the only one fishing off this end of the dock. Maybe you're jealous that my bait is fresher than yours.

No, I guess I didn't mention my particular field. :P

Jean

 

[Jean310]

Yep...we be fishing on the same dock....just be careful of those soft mouths.
You are a catch and release sort of gal, aren't ya? Don't injur them too bad.....

As for the freshness of your bait....I'm gonna leave the odds on that to the statisticians...heeheehee......

Judy

Don't injure them too bad? <grin><chuckle, chuckle> ummmm, perhaps...... when they start playing with the bait, I like to make sure they got pleeeeeeenty of line, and really start running with it before I yank'em back to reality, and set the hook. But then....... I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know.

I guess Mr. Randi does not have those stats

Sorry SWR....WE have the stats...No need to bother RANDI....

Considering the Rand, stastics over a long period of time, and the intent of the challenge, it is more likely the testing and requirements are designed to be as unwinnable as possible and remain borderline legal.

as somewhat confused by this post. I was not quite sure if there was supposed to be a meaning behind it, or just somewhat a rant-babble-not-really-say-anything kinda deal

Hmm Odd, even I can make sense out of it ?

Therefore, I zipped Mr. Randi another email. Evidently, Mr. Randi is as confused as I am with this piffle.

Learn how to use proper quote/reply protocol, and stop misquoting posters.

For whatever reason, he is not going to do that, so I have simply hit the Ignore User button, and his posts are no longer a bother.

Exactly what kind of an inference(*) was that?

Jean

(*) inference means; The act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true.
