Well, the article isn't *about* BB, but he is front and center in the
article.

I do have to register huge support for his position -- arguing with
the free market is like telling a thermal where its center is. How I
wish I could do that.

It might be interesting to compare the ideas imbeded in the Black-
Scholes model with our current thermal prediction models. I wonder if
John would comment if there is something worth persuing?

BB was also interviewed by Lianne Hansen on NPR's Weekend Edition this
morning.

John will probably be the first nobel prize winner that I have ever
met. His interviews and articles are interesting and easy to
understand. No wonder he is such a great professor, and you can
really tell that he is used to teaching, when you read his soaring
articles. Way to go, BB !!!

keep soaring with the eagles, instead of pecking around on the ground
with the turkey's.

Thanks for the plugs guys. We were all disappointed with the Bloomberg
article, but I guess everyone thinks they're a lot clearer and more
eloquent than what the reporter writes.

I haven't found a use for Black-Scholes in glider flying yet, but my
MacCready theory articles are straight translations from the classic
"optimal portfolio" theory. An investor goes through life with
occasional opportunities (thermals) of varying promise (strength) but
a constraint that wealth (altitude) must never be negative. As you can
see, if you just change the letters you've got the same problem.

Whenever the news media writes about something about which I have some
knowledge, they seem to get everything all mixed up. So I assume that
is true of most articles.

The odds of a free market economist winning the Nobel prize are about
zero, at least these days. To be in the running, you need to be a
shill for government power, planned economies, Keynesianism and
monetary inflation. Kinda like Paul Krugman, in fact :-|.

You need to come up with a new idea.

I'm more of a Murray Rothbard kinda guy, myself.

Nice one John.

Seems we went through a patch of nasty sink - and are now scratching
around in zero-up hoping it develops into something that will gain us
some altitude (wealth) before the sun gets too low and we have to
start final glide (retirement) from whatever altitude we have. Oh,
yeah and CBs all around us.

If cruise speed were Beta you could optimize between cross-country
speed and the risk of landing out.

Prospects of outlandings are increasing. Make sure you pick good fields
along the way.
