The McRib Effect
- masonic 8y ago"One week later you receive another letter from the same firm, but this time they claim a different stock is about to drop in price. You go back to the first letter, and, lo and behold, they were right. The stock went up". This is a definition of "right" with which I was previously unfamiliar.
- beatgammit 8y agoI don't follow. They said they received: - letter A in week one saying stock $A is going up - letter B in week two that stock $B is going down; OP checks stock $A and it did indeed go up Etc. It was a little complex in the wording, but the point was clear IMO.
- fybe 8y agoWhen I think about how volatile our biggest systems ( finance, politics etc) and how complex they are I first get too confused to understand them, then frustrated, then I lose hope. Do we just throw stuff at the wall and hope something sticks? Or is it all just a big gamble? Between all the pollsters, financial forecasts, weather forecasts or even project planning, is it just a game of chance if you are correct in your assumptions and calculations?
