Boiler Room Part Deux

So an interesting article - http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/09/04/madoffs-startling-prediction/ - has surfaced up @ The Wall Street Journal's website pertaining to Bernard Madoff. Apparently Madoff made a prediction that Rep. Christopher Cox was to be appointed as the next chairman of the Security and Exchanges Commission (SEC), only for Cox to be chosen several weeks later. interesting

So here's to becoming an internet phenomenon...

Hello everyone,

Being that this is The Zero-Sum Game's first official post, I believe that I just gave everyone a semi-valid excuse to party - go ahead, grab that frosty beverage and drink it - you deserve it America. Basically the reasoning behind setting up this blog is to share my thoughts to the world. And no, I will be wasting the internet's precious space with useless babble (at least most of the time). Most of the time I shall try to concentrate on legitimate economic, political, and technological advancements/declines that are currently occuring across the globe. And in case you, the valued reader, are wondering exactly where I derived the blog title, "The Zero-Sum Game" from, I encourage you to look into applied mathematics (specifically Game Theory). In a nutshell, a Zero-Sum Game is a game, where in order for one player to win, the other must lose. And being that life is ultimately a huge game where only some people win, with the rest usually loosing (from a pragmatic viewpoint at least), I figured it is only fitting that I used such for the title of this blog. That is it for now, until next time - Adios!
