Vulgar Speculations

I haven't posted to Quid Sit Deus? in many months. It's not for loss of interest in philosophy; in fact, I'm presently reading Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics and attending a weekly seminar in which we discuss the reading. Another of my interests, stock investing, has reached a new peak of intensity lately, as I've acquired new skills and tools for analysis. After many months of experimentation, I've taken a set of "positions" in some stocks, based for the first time solely on the quantitative methods with which I've been experimenting. (I'm making use of a combination of methods developed in past decades by various stock analysts and mathematicians.) After just three days, I'm still cautiously optimistic that I've improved my personal stock selection technique over the technique I was using in the previous nineteen months. I've started blogging about my successes and failures in a blog I've named Vulgar Speculations. So, I'm sorry to have to say that there's nothing new here at Quid Sit Deus?. However, my vulgar speculations are strictly a means to the end of my divine speculations.
