Why is HBOS not trading today?

[bryan2] 15/1/2009 09:07

Investment and Positive Feedback.
Physicists and Engineers are well acquainted with the phenomenon of Positive Feedback.
It is an unwelcome attribute and generally causes instability by reinforcing some destructive resonance effect.
Some examples are;
1. The howl produced when a microphone gets to close to an amplifier.
2. The Tacoma Bridge and the recent London Foot Bridge.
3. The "death roll" of a sailing yacht oscillating in a following wind.

Physicists and Engineers try to eliminate this effect wherever possible.
However in economics (its professionals claim to be a science) the phenomenon is not understood and certainly not dealt with.
In a rising market an example of Positive Feedback is the practice of Momentum Trading.
Simply investing in the shares that show the biggest daily or monthly gain instead of a bottom up investigation of the value of shares.
A rising market example is illustrated by the "Dot Com Bubble".
In a falling market the practice of "Shorting" is an example of Positive Feedback.
The tendency of a share downturn is amplified into a self destructive route.
Of the two practices "shorting" is by far the most destructive.
Even the shorters themselves often get wiped out by the instability they created.
We can see all around us the results of the unregulated trade in shares.
The Regulators and Central Bankers need educating in how to deal with feedback in oscillating systems because it is obvious the do not have a clue.

he is a big time loser,but he does not feel that he is one lol,posting (paid by post) for others,just to make people panic and sell.
People should be taking advantage and buying quality stocks at throw-away prices (think about it :)

All because of the media and the...charlatan's idio's.

[cpl593h] 14/1/2009 20:52

Wow! another hot thread bryan - you compensation-chasers really aren't popular are you?

[rkjones] 14/1/2009 20:21

The price is not set at anything. Your new Lloyds group will be priced as the market sees fit.

[nissan300] 14/1/2009 20:01
