True for sponsored links, not true for AdWords. Incidentally, further evidence that Google's brand is not necessarily durable: they didn't pay...
You're welcome. :) Martin
I remeber when search=lycos. I remember when search=altavista. If you think Google is unassailable, you weren't around when Alta Vista took over...
I wonder where he got the confidence to estimate Sun, Oracle, and Cisco far below market value. Must have been some other kind of bias. This...
When Hussman wrote that article, Goog had about $12/share in cash. Since then, they did exactly as he suggested, increasing their value by cashing...

I'm tempted to just let that go but... no. It was not a matter of familiarization. Pytables was and still is inadequate for my needs....
IIRC deleting or inserting into a table was problematic. I also found that reading in a table was rather inefficient, IIRC each row was a dict? I...
I have "Python in a Nutshell" also by Alex Martelli and have found that it is all I need. On the advice here, though, I'll have to check out the...
Why are we even talking about <i>public</i> hedge fund managers? It's a virtually nonexistent category with good reason. A hedge fund management...
