Well, aren't you just precious. You must be a fiction write of little to no note.So, apparently, you:
- have no, post-secondary education, whatsoever (though claim to have an IQ nearish to genius level).
- have little/no macroeconomic experience/schooling (making a few trades means nothing - almost anyone can do that) - though you act/claim otherwise.
- are - probably - unemployed BUT 'run' a token 'business' so you can tell yourself/others that you are not 'unemployed'.
- read lots of literature on bean counting.
- frequently troll on chat forums.
- and live with your wife who gets 'appalled' by improper use of apostrophes.
Honor and Excitement?
Thy name is Poor Richard Saunders.
You obviously skipped it since I explained how each definition does not point to two data points being a trend. You asked a question. I answered in detail. You ignore my answer, refuse to respond to it and instead simply ask the question again. Eight sentences is the length of a novella? Are you sure you are a writer? Of do you consider the start of your post to be a novel?1)
I will try again:
By English language, general definition(s) of the word - do two data points, covering two, consecutive months...constitute a 'trend'?
Yes or No?
You should know - when I see you refusing to answer my questions?
I usually just skip over all the 'justifications' you give for not answering the simple questions.
Oh...and I largely skipped your 'PRS's Personal Definitions of Words' novella.
That's funny. The first 2 links show that the market doesn't consider November's numbers to be a trend. The FED white paper directly answers your question of why 2 data points don't make a trend.2)
Okay...all of your links do not answer the question.
None of them even mentions it (I skipped the Fed nonsense).
I guess I could take a cue from you and simply say CBSnews is staggeringly corrupt. That is what you have done with my sources without presenting any reason for why they are corrupt other than they point to you being wrong. Are you sure you took economics courses? You are now saying macroeconomics is bullshit and corrupt and yet your degree is in economics?The BLS are bad enough.
But the Fed are STAGGERINGLY corrupt.
Plus, are seemingly filled with macroeconomically ignorant, bean counters (like you seem to be - no offense).
The fact that the Fed, COMPLETELY missed the start of the Great Recession - which was obvious to most - largely, proves this.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fed-missed-the-housing-bust/
Most people didn't see the Great Recession coming. Most investors didn't see it coming. Have you read "The Big Short?"
There are three things that the market respond most to; government numbers as put out by BLS and Census, the FED's statements or actions, and earnings reports. You are claiming that 2/3s of what moves the market is corrupt and not to be believed. I don't think the market is as stupid as you think it is.
Since you refuse to read any and all sources I provide, I see no reason to provide you with any new sources. When you have read the FED white paper and wish to discuss a two-variable vector autoregression (VAR) get back to me. The answer is obvious, you are asking me to prove a negative in that any source that says 2 data points is not a trend is not enough for you as you have moved the goal posts to now requiring I prove NEVER. I have already shown that 2 data points within the margin of error are not a trend. That is what you were attempting to claim was a trend.I will ask again - only simpler:
Post a link from an unbiased source that proves that 2 months of macroeconomic data is NEVER considered a 'very good' trend - by Wall Street standards?
(btw - the answer should be INCREDIBLY obvious, imo.)
I will ask you again. Did you ever take statistics when you got your degree in economics? Why can't you answer this simple question?
She's loads of fun.The woman would literally be 'appalled' by someone's improper use of an 'apostrophe'?

Of all the horrors and injustices on our planet?
Your wife gets 'appalled' by the improper use of an 'apostrophe'.
Okaaaaaay.
She sounds like a barrel of fun.
It's a good thing you don't use ad hominems like your first 5 sentences in this post I am responding to.But yes - my punctuation is nowhere near where I wish it to be...sadly.
Though - even though you obviously meant it as an ad hominem?

I will try and learn from the criticism.

Not only do you not read anything I link to, it's clear you don't read anything I write. Go back and read my previous post then come back and apologize for asking the same question repeatedly.Once again (again updated to make it easier for you):
Has the DOW - in the last 20 years - NEVER dropped more than 4% in a day on just ONE, principal, data point?
True or False?
You didn't answer either of my questions by responding True of False. Based on the way you demand I answer yours with only those words that would mean you didn't answer either of my questions.Additional - (I added some extras for convenience)
(i) Probably. I do not know with 100% certainty at this moment. But I assume it has. Probably, numerous times.
(ii) Depends on the data and the background of said data and any other data points/events/opinions that might have affected said drop.
(iii) Same as (ii).
See how easy it is for me to answer your questions?
Pity you seem to be having such trouble with mine.
"Probably" is more weaselly than any answer I gave to your questions.
A little self reflection on your part might be a good thing. I am curious how you can claim I used a strawman when you admit you didn't bother to read my answers. You also don't seem to know precisely what a strawman argument is.The reason is obvious, imo.
You simply CANNOT admit you were wrong.
And/or, you are too delusional to let yourself believe you are wrong.
So you toss out all the strawman/ad hominems you can POSSIBLY come up with.
All trying to dislodge my arguments and try and turn the discussion into a complete, unrecognizable muddle.
Typical troll behavior.
Please point to where I changed your argument to something else and then argued against that instead of responding directly to what you said. Your preferred way to debate seems to be to use the poison the well fallacy. You accuse any sources I use of being corrupt without providing evidence. You accuse me of using logical fallacies without providing evidence.I, sincerely, cannot remember the last time I debated with someone who threw out SO MANY, strawman arguments.

I will.Have a nice day.
