Question then in the first person, what type of personality defect leads to your bone for me?

Why do you talk so much about yourself?

What causes your obsession?

The only obsession I’m aware of is the one you have with yourself.

Obsession detected. Get a grip.

It's a little hard to read that paper, it's very long, and written by a guy with an obvious chip on his shoulder in a very informal style that I find fairly distracting / annoying, with the end result that I have a hard time making myself fight through his writing to understand how he constructs the topological networks, so that I can decide for myself what I think they mean. Can you say a few words about what you've taken from the paper, maybe a quick Cliff's Notes version?

I came across this a while back , looked it over quickly , then added it to my get back to later collection . My impression was he had developed an elaborate version of Bollinger Bands . I don't trade individual stocks anymore , so I wasn't interested . Looking over the paper again and doing some investigating I have discovered some interesting facts . It seems he has commercialised his research .

, going as far to patent it .

This is the first instance I have ever come upon where a paper on SSRN is an advertisement . Here he is here on a forum trying to sell his product .

Like the one respondent says , if this really works , why aren't you keeping it a secret and making a fortune .

Ed,

You first, how do you think EPS is calculated?

Igy

Earnings divided by shares. But you referred to “earnings”, not EPS. Please don’t tell me that you think they are the same thing.

Now answer my question. No dancing.

Of course they’re not the same thing.

Not, because it doesn’t exist.

It’s still there. Look a few posts ahead of the one I’m replying to. Click the link and make sure you’re on the first data tab. You should also read the notes at the bottom of that same page. It’s quite clear that earnings and EPS are separate, though related, data points

If it is there, copy and paste. We can then examine it’s relevance to the conversation, if any.

Why are you avoiding the obvious and simplest solution which is for you to click the link and read the identifiers?

Because there is nothing relevant there, all the earnings data is derived and compiled from S&P 500 company EPS. Why don’t you copy and paste?

Because 99% of that source is numerical data. All you need do is look at the headers and other text.

I see now that you are giving me the runaround presumably because the truth does not jive with your narrative. Fine. I will reserve my discussion for the open minded.

Fake narrative as usual.

Agreed. Thanks for finally admitting it.

....and of course the immature and original closer....

There was a thread recently where Igy wrote that another specific poster was following him around. Of course, the other guy had been there first.

Another specific poster? As opposed to what, another general poster?

By jive, do you mean jibe?

You are illiterate.

Oh, the irony!
