  1. How to do random HIDDEN WALK with your Mouse Pointer... I often use my computer mouse while sitting on a carpeted floor. My computer mouse is the type that has no wheels, but instead, it has a bright red LED on the bottom. Many times, when I set my computer mouse onto the carpet, the mouse pointer, on my screen, begins to do a HIDDEN WALK path, just like the paths that Derek demonstrates in this uploaded video. Try it yourself! It might take a couple tries, to get the effect to initiate. The "jitter" seems more pronounced if you set your computer mouse on top of a half-inch-high "bump" in the carpet, so that there is a small "valley" beneath the red LED.

  2. I still like what Eddie Murphy said in the movie, Trading Places... "Sounds like you all a bunch of bookies !!"

  3. Didn't Fourier's heat transfer equation also inspire the creation/discovery of Schrödinger's wave equation ? If Fourier's work affected both High Finance and Quantum Theory, then shouldn't Fourier be ranked close to Newton, as one of the most influential men in history?

  4. In the world of Finance, is there a (numerically represented) measure of how many active derivatives are tied to an identified financial security? This would seem like a good idea. When trying to forecast a potential market crash, it would be helpful to know how much force multiplier an identified financial security carries with it.

  5. Derek, the main question that you probe in this episode has the value of a photograph, in that, one of either (a photograph; or your main question) is worth a thousand words, and likewise thoroughly answers a thousand smaller questions.
