If it has a real counterpart, a real value may be solved for - that is why it is known as a complex number. Most of us didn't bother to actually solve it and just imagine that there is a real value to it.
Not everything can go through the Black-Scholes equation and come out as a beautiful number.

Of course they do. The value of i is the square root of -1. Just because it's not a real number doesn't mean it has no value. Pi, e and the square root of 2 all have values, but they're not real numbers.
OWS has created a monster, one they cannot hope to control. The parallels to the history of the modern Tea Party are staggering.

Both sides are angry because Main Street is being looted by the plutocrats and exterminating the middle class. Its just one side has been co-opted and therefore has "power".

IMO the problem of he OWS, the "indignados" in spain and the like is not the lack of money, is the lack of objectives. It is ok to protest AGAINST something, but unless that something is some kind of abomination (i.e. Mussolini) that you can outright kill/destroy, you need to protest FOR something (i.e. to acomplish something specific). I for one would be clearly protesting for the congress to abolish the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which was the root cause of the 2008 crisis.

New York Senate bill seeks to end anonymous internet posting
"Introduced by New York State Sen. Thomas F. O'Mara (R—Big Flats), S6779
would require that any anonymous post online is subject to removal if the poster refuses to post — and verify — their legal name, their IP address, and their home address." See: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/technolo...162549128.html |
