–Keynes
Is this in essence the difference between trading and investing? The trader has an ability to see how everyone else will react where the fundamentalist try's to predict how economies will evolve to predict future valuations. What does both the trader and long term investor have in common? They both try to predict supply and demand based on current information. So what has more risk?
I have a project I call "REAL DATA". If any of y'all got some good data you want posted up for the public domain, for free, let me know. This is very preliminary work on my part. I hope someday that this is a real useful depository of mostly financial information.
