    Yes, and they have failed miserably. Even the largest banks and mutual funds end up being beaten by the index.

    • So what you're trying to say it isn't a completely solved science? But there are no completely solved sciences. So, whoop de ****ing do?

        What does that have to do with my point?

        (Correct answer: nothing.)

          Worse than that.

          Economic analysis is labor, and as such is part of the market. The chain of meta-analysis is infinite.

          Simple example: Economists do not like minimum wages. Country increases minimum wage. Country gets credit rating lowered by agency. What if some economists start not to care about minimum wages so much?

            This is so idiotic I'm not even sure how to respond. It's like complaining that village soothsayers were still getting the weather wrong all the time even after Isaac Newton started investigating mechanics.

              Your point is that the correct answer can be found.

              My point is that it hasn't been found, and likely never will be at something more than "plausible" level.

              • Oh so you're a conspiracy theorist. Lovely.

                    If you're stupid enough to believe what you're saying here (which is so obviously retarded), it should surprise no one that you aren't smart enough to understand why you are wrong. Otherwise you'd already agree with us.

                    I know this is not a valid counterpoint. Merely pointing out to EVERYONE ELSE that Oncle Boris is beyond hope.

                          Thank you for conceding what I was arguing TWO PAGES AGO: the answer may be controversial but it is not subjective.

                          and likely never will be at something more than "plausible" level.
                          You haven't demonstrated this at all.

                              • Hey Kuci, I understand the difference between subjective and objective, thank you very much.

                                The fact is that you have no idea of all the possible ramifications of this question — which is, like it or not, philosophical.

                                Let me repeat: For practical/conversational purposes, the answer to an unanswered riddle *may* be called 'subjective', especially when it has moral implications. I.e., "is it unemployment if my community lost 5,000 jobs but a town in Mexico gained 5,000"?

                                As for the part where I try to show that the riddle is unlikely to ever be solved to a satisfactory level, re-read my posts.
