Talk:Portable alpha

message: This article should refer to the existing articles on Modern Portfolio Theory and Capital Asset Pricing Model, futures, and futures pricing.
Then it should summarize the key points from those articles that are relevant to Portable Alpha, including the definition of Beta, the defintion of alpha, definition of Rf (risk free rate) and how a financial future's price is purely a mathematically strict function of the risk free rate and today's price of the asset, minus transaction frictions.
It should also describe actual techniques that proponents of Portable Alpha (futures to simulate the beta), and why this technique is actually better (because you can only lend money to the Government at the risk free rate, you can't actually borrow money from anyone at the risk free rate), and why some funds insist on a Beta that is based on correlation to limited indexes like the S&P 500 instead of the optimal index that CAPM describes, namely, all assets in the world.
It might list some degenerate examples of synethic alpha (like going long a future and buying govt bonds)
It might include a "see also" to total return funds and long-short strategies.
Sorry, I pretty much rewrote the whole thing and started over.  The previous definition was, as far as my research can tell, starting from an initial misunderstanding and therefore didn't leave much that I could keep.  I'd welcome any feedback and edits.
:Neverminding the 'technical' tag, one could reference this book http://books.google.co.in/books?id=1pmWEAHo2A8C&dq=black+litterman&source=gbs_navlinks_s for greater validity of this strategy. Nshuks7 (talk) 14:14, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Rolling Stones (novel)

message: [quote]However, the freewheeling Luna of this novel seems very different than the overregulated domain mentioned by Mannie at the end of "Moon" and seen during "Cat", leading to doubts that the "Hazel Stone" of this novel is the same who helped free Luna and met Lazarus Long.[/quote]
A few comments:
* This is original research, unless the author wishes to note where this is from?
* There are several explicit references to Moon in Cat, including Hazel and the lead character staying in the same room of the Raffles where the revolution in Moon and Hazel referencing Mike the computer. 
* This novel includes the concept of pantheistic solipsism, introduced in The Number of the Beast (novel), and features Heinlein characters from multiple stories, including Hazel, Jubal Harshaw, and Lazarus Long. The notion that a continuity error (if such it is) means that it's not the same character is laughable, especially since Hazel joined the "World As Myth" in Number.
Thus, I'm deleting it. CatherS 02:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Charles G. Dawes

message: I have made a small edit to remove the reference to The Young Plan. The article read, in reference to the Dawes Plan; "though this was eventually replaced" in 1929. This introduces a note of the pejorative into the Dawes Plank, which had met with considerable success and helped drive the 'Golden Era' of the Weimar period. The Young Plan came after the Wall Street crash, although the Dawes Plan had in theory been temporary, and lasted only a year or so. I feel the the young plan extends beyond what I would expect to find in the Dawes biography (i.e. it is referred to, correctly, in the Dawes Plan article).

thread_title: Bone

message: In English myelosupression is used to mean a mild, moderate or severe bone marrow inhibition. In other languages, i.e. Spanish, this same idea is expressed as "mielodepresión". Hence some ESP>ENG translations where "myelodepression" is used -when it shouldn't: mielodepresión (ESP) = myelosuppression (ENG).
In English myeloablation is used to mean a severe form of myelosuppression (either a complete or a severe bone marrow inhibition). In other languages, i.e. Spanish, this idea is expressed as "mielosupresión". Hence the confusion between false friends ENG myelosuppression and (ESP/other languages) mielosupresión.
I believe the actual Wiki entry for myelosuppression is a bit confusing as it seems to inadequately mix both ideas, myelosupression and myeloablation. 
My own recommendation here:
Bone marrow suppression / Myelosuppression:
Mild, moderate or severe bone marrow inhibition. 
Linked to ESP "mielodepresión" -not to "mielosupresión" 
Myeloablation:
Severe form of myelosuppression. 
Linked to ESP "mielosupresión"

Talk:Saugus, Massachusetts

message: I would think it would be a bad idea as probably over half of the Saugus.net content (computer references, ghost story contest, etc.) doesn't have anything to do with Saugus at all, and a lot of the remainder is for what the site refers to as "greater Saugus," that is, Saugus and the surrounding towns.  It would be a little like pulling the entry for the Boston Globe into the entry for Boston.  In both cases they're entities with separate histories, separate goals, and separate areas of coverage.
It may make sense though to incorporate the Saugus Chamber of Commerce into Saugus as that doesn't have much point outside of Saugus.  Of course, that would mean that it wouldn't show up in topical Chamber of Commerce types of searches.
I agree that it makes no sense to add Saugus.net to the "Saugus, Massachusetts" category. Should all noteworthy ventures be listed under the town in which they were founded?
I removed the "fact" that President Taft appeared with the local community theatre group.  I also removed the statement that this is the third oldest community theatre group in New England.  Couldn't find a source, and since the group was founded in 1958 it seemed unlikely.  I also removed a reference to their current production, which is now past, and didn't seem to belong here anyway.
