I left work late on Friday because I got distracted running Monte Carlo simulations on our 401k accounts. I’m on a quest to refine my retirement plan of achieving Financial Critical Mass, something I heard about from Bob Brinker many years ago.

As such, the downloads that are a part of my tutorials won’t work in RapidMiner unless you build them from scratch in [...]

I’m sure that option traders and writers would be keenly interested [...]
