It seems that the software from amibroker.com (one time charge US$149.00 no annual fees) used together with live SGX data from technical_analysis.com (one time charge S$88.00 no annual fees) provides streaming and is a very good TA software.

Is any SJ member using this tool? Is it useful?? 

 

heheh I agree with pikacu.... so happen that my star sign is Leo...
But I think my life here in Sg is not as happening like those african Lion  King who waiting to be feed and roar for gal to mate!! nice ^^

 

Hi Victorian,



Thanks for the info.  I agree that many of their services can be obtained from POEMS, Yahoo Finance and also at ShareJunction.  However, what I particularly like is their "TA Market Scanner", which is only available for the "Jade Extra" subscription and it costs S$400 per annum, or S$240 for six months. 



I had a brief trial with my friend's subscription the other day and found that this feature provides one with the various types of criterions based on TA analysis.  So, one can immediately narrow down to those stocks featuring the type of TA criterions (eg:  Candlestick: Bullish Morning Doji Star, Bollinger Band: Bullish Lower Bollinger Band Support, to name but a few) desired.  Anyway, I'm still considering whether to sign up or not.

 

Hi,



Does anybody in this forum uses the paid subscription services of "ShareInvestor" (www.shareinvestor.com)?  Would like to know if the services they provide are useful.  Thanks.

 

The thing I like about the african savanna is that the male lions laze around and do nothing but mate while the females lions do all the hunting and child rearing.... :)  That is how evolution should be for humans too ! HAHAHA

 

Wonder anyone heard of this African fable....

In the Savanah plain....

The lions must exercise everyday to outrun and catch the gazelles or they will starve. The gazelles like the lions must exercise everyday to run faster than the lions or end up being eaten.



So by nature or nurture, survival is the No. 1 determinant in animals trying to evolve into a stronger or superior species. Otherwise they face extinction.

 

Believe me...

One really has no choice when it comes to putting forward views...

Especially Elfin...
As you are much respected by me for your views in this forum, I really hope you will not back out and thus make us lose valuable  input from a  person of wisdom.

Go have a good night's sleep... then come back for a cup of frothy Expresso... :)

 

Would you want a doggie that obeys you, or one that outwits you?

k, i'm done interrupting in the topic of evolution; will let the serious discussers get on with their core questions.

haha. nites all!

This is Baseerahmed's first post in bigger font:-

{LOL ! i am just a lay man thinking aloud : i see lions on the african plains , i also see the zebras, the hyenas, the cheetas ,the giraffe, and the elephants . all of them on the same plains. the very same enviroment , but many variety of animals , how did each of 'evolve' into so many unique animals? if the enviroment is the same , then shouldn't they be all similar ? there could be variations within the group, say among the giraffes long nose, short horn etc , but how come each of them a very unique . how did the dogs become dogs and the cats become the cats and the cows become the cows  and the peacock become the peacok ? i am now scratching my head. so , which came first : the chicken or the egg ? ( felt like jumping into evolution debate for fun ! i am not taking any sides here ! just for entertainment !! that's all ) : ) 

 

Are Kate Moss and Marilyn Monroe's ht : navel ht in the golden ratio of 1.618 ? supposely to be the most pleasant proportion! Next beauty depends on which era : just like Fei Yan (surname may be Yan) who was slim and considered a beauty in Shang (or may be Zhou) dynasty while Yang Guifei (Yang Yuhuan) who was on the fleshy side a beauty in the Tang dynasty.

 

Baseerahmed Sir...

 Although you posted only a few words on the 'issue' of evolution and claim to be a 'layman', I personally find your posts most appealing in terms of the core questions we really want to address...

I really hope the issue (and it is an issue, and an important one)  is discussed  more  by  people who look at the topic from the point of view Baseerahmed.

 

nono asterisk, you're missing the point. an alpha male would take a beta dog.

or vice versa.

keke.

ok, nites all! stressssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss..........................

 

singaporegal, my bunnie's on a biz trip to some foreign country (can't rem which) without net access. weh weh weh. no bunnie. no pet to play with. :(



and ah. lest anyone thinks the evolution opinion is mine, it's not. i'm just discussing. the elfin world is infinitely more complex than that. keke.



something else to link up (anyone's brains exploding yet? :P)--From Jim Crace, Quarantine, "The business of trade is superstition. Unearth what is overvalued, amass it, sell at inflated prices."



So think. what's valued in today's world? beauty, youth, longevity. The same things linked with evolutionary trends. So what industries make moolah? Cosmetics, plastic surgery, medicines, pills, medical research. We're more controlled by our genes than we think.



And yea. Ideas of beauty change, but genetic ideals do not. Kate Moss and Marilyn Monroe, for eg, are two representations of what's considered beautiful in their own eras. Figure-wise they're so different, aren't they? But then, their waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) are the same: at 0.7, which apparently is the ratio guys are genetically cued to find most attractive. haha. There's more too, about symmetry, the Golden Ratio used in art etcetc.

 

evolution: too many posts, i'll just reply to what i can...



the idea of the darwinian principle: "Only the fittest survive, adaptability is the key to survival." For a female to survive she must be attractive to the males; for a male to survive, he must be attractive to females.



Females in that sense look less for physical beauty (defined as looks alone) than for strength: defined more as stability and power. So all things being equal, a female will be more attracted to a wealthy man than a poor one.



and precisely 'cos you don't see the world populated by beautiful people, that's why beauty is a premium. And being sought after, being desirable is the definition of power. Masculine and feminine alike. Therein lies the concept of hierarchy.



And that's why you have society: The true definition of a social being: one who exists in a hierarchy. Hence, alpha, beta etcetc beings. Because any animal that is social will always have a ladder of power. the top dogs, the runts of the litter etc. You will never have a society of all beautiful and strong people (for instance) because then, everyone is equal. But life doesn't work that way.



evolution accounts for niches. each species has its own function and its own reason for being, it occupies a niche in the scheme of things. If the niche (ie reason for existence) is gone, the species is wiped out. That's where adaptability comes in. The environment is the same, but too many occupying one function means some will have to die. to avoid dying, they adapt, they change to become what the other is not.



and man. sporeguy, you're damn cute. i like the way you tell the dog story. haha. My view's a little dif from chinkiasu... Basically, the female dog chose the one best adapted to her. The fierce dog would have likely killed her. 'Fittest' does not mean all brawn. It's about adaptability. Like hey, there are women attracted to Li Ka Shing, there are women attracted to Bill Gates, there are also those attracted to your Armani male models.   



Final thought on makeup: us girls don't call it warpaint for nothing. bwah haha.
