Talk:Volatility arbitrage

message: (this comment was moved from the article to here)
Note to the editor of this page:  This page is descibing directional volatility trading and not volatility arbitrage in the true sense. True volatility arbitrage involves taking many positions on the implied volatility surface in order to take advantage of volatility mispricings - i.e. implied versus implied and not implied versus realised. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.173.110.58 (talk • contribs) 
:Hmm - I'm not sure I entirely agree with you. It's often the case that implieds may differ on the volatility surface for good reasons. For instance, implied for downside equity options are typically higher than for upside options because of the increase in default risk the downside options would face in the event of a stock price decline. I believe it's much more common to trade differences between forecast vol and implieds. Do you have experience in this type of trading? I'm curious to hear your view.

thread_title: Directional vol trading vs. vol arbitrage

message: Note to User:143.238.14.123: it's not the case that the side of the underlier is always the opposite of the side of the options - that only holds for calls. When trading puts, the side of the underlier is the same. For instance, if you buy puts, you must also buy the underlier to hedge. I'm going to revert your change.

thread_title: Hedging

message: The volatility of a stock measures the dispersion of the future distribution of stock prices. The price range for any level of confidence will be higher with an 18% vol than a 16% vol, bit it is not true to state that "the stock is most likely to be 18% higher or lower from its current price...)

Talk:Osteoblast

message: The article currently says "Osteoblasts produce a drug called temoxoline barbebutenol of osteoid," this seems to me to be nonsense.The exact phrasing has gotten repeated on many sites that use wikipedia content. I am close to certain that osteoblasts don't produce a barbituate.Even if it was;it wouldn't be called a drug when it is produced in the body the body. I am not knowledgeable about anatomy. Insulin is referred to as a hormone when produced by the pancreas, a drug when abstracted or synthesized elsewhere. Also vasopressin a drug when synthetic, exact same molecule is antidiuretic hormone when produced by the pituitary. Googling "osteoblasts barbituate" produces articles about barbitute effects on osteoblasts but no mention of osteoblasts producing barbituate like substance. I'm 99% sure the temoxeline barbutenol reference is pushing of a meme vandalism or nonsense vandalism. Anyone know differnt?Tjc (talk) 02:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Beltane Fire Festival

message: This article is in serious need of sourcing.  I don't have time to track down any right now, so I'm hoping those who've done most of the work on this can provide some.  - Kathryn NicDhàna ♫♦♫ 06:47, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks to me that most of the article is written by participants from the event itself. What is wikipedia's position on reporting on events from a personal perspective? I would suggest that the Beltane Fire Festival in Edinburgh suffers from the same 'problem' as many other folk events - that because the participants place greater importance on oral than written communication there is little self-publication and hence outsiders/academics dispute its existence. 
Beltane has been reported by local papers in degrees of accuracy every year since its beginning, and there are at least two completed university dissertations and one PhD work in progress describing aspects of the event. I think that detailed descriptions may eventually be published from within Beltane Fire Society and more likely the event is waiting for the "great anthopological white man" to come along and describe it ;-) regards --mgaved (talk) 14:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

message: Since there seems to be some controversy about the "ancient" designation of Beltane as well as the date, I've provided citations to verify this.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Ubersite

No, it was the act of a select few admins who used Alexa as their main reason for removing it in the first place. It's too bad that Alexa CANNOT BE USED as criteria for deletion (as stated in the deletion policy here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Search_engine_test#Alexa_test). Perhaps JHMM13 should rethink what he's done and post another Ubersite article (we know you were a user, douchebag. You last posted in '05.) either apologizing for what he's done and subsequently having the deletion reversed or rebutting this article: http://www.ubersite.com/m/95173

There are much less informative and much more niche-oriented articles out there. The vandalism (if any) would have decreased significantly after the initial surge, as most people on Ubersite lose interest in things such as these quite quickly. After the Ubersite post dropped off the most heated list it would also drop from many of the minds of the Ubersite collective. This deletion is a shame. The article could have been a prime tool for those curious about Ubersite and Uberhistory but would be flamed to death if they asked such questions on Ubersite.

message: The emphasis in the introduction on the crucial information for eyewitnesses is a great addition. It is important and rightfully belongs in the introduction, and it also brief enough so as not to overwhelm the reader. I might also recommend adding a note to the last paragraph there ("For evidence from a lineup to be admissible...") on the relevant jurisdictions and regional legal differences regarding this policy.
The additions on alternatives are strong and succinct, tying in evidence supporting police lineups as a more accurate method of identification.

Studies
Cutler and Penrod (1988) 
Brain L. Cutler and Steven D. Penrod conducted this study in 1988 to examine multiple variables' influence on eyewitnesses' accuracy during a lineup. The participants were first given a videotaped store robbery and a questionnaire, then asked to identify the robber in a photo lineup. They were given different videotapes, different lineups, and different instructions. There were 175 participants, all undergraduate college students.
The results were:
Correct identification rate: 80% for sequential lineups and 76% for simultaneous lineups (total).
78% for sequential lineups and 80% for simultaneous lineups when cues were strong.
84% for sequential lineups and 58% for simultaneous lineups when cues were weak.
Mistaken rate in target-absent condition: 19% for sequential lineups and 39% for sequential lineups.

:It is not the outline of a penis.  It is supposed to be empasizing the fact that Jesus' stomach was distended in pain during the crucifiction.  The original cross is a 3d cross doesn't represent as well in 2d pictures. If you look at the original San Damiano Cross there are additional lines that seems to be removed from some depections of the San Damiano cross that seem to resemble a penis.  This does not change the fact that the original does not in any way appear to be a penis.  This seems to fit in the same category as those that claim to see Jesus and/or Mary in water stains and similar objects. In addition to that, the cross in the Oklahoma story that originally started this issue isn't a San Damiano cross, it is similar to one, but it is a modern artists own depiction.
