Nice question:\nCcheck this out:\n\nThe city of Monza, Italy, banned the keeping of goldfish in bowls because the containers do not meet the needs of the animals and because, as one sponsor of the law pointed out, bowls give fish “a distorted view of reality

I think I'm probably the most qualified person to answer this.  I love everything about chaos.  I love the uncertainty it brings, I would have my life be chaotic any day of the week than be forced into the same thing day in and day out.  Chaos is the source of all creation according to Greek mythology.  From Chaos comes all things, even order.  Chaos magick is using whatever paradigm you want to to get the results you desire.  The chaos theory is that for some unexplainable reason in scientific experiments that play out over and over again something unexpected will eventually happen for no explainable reason.  People often say that they hate chaos in their lives, but without chaos things would be 100 percent predictable 100 percent of the time.  How boring would that be?  In conclusion, chaos is the unexpected that happens for the good, for the bad, and just because.

of course not. The lobster market is one of the fastest growing markets.  Yet, it is kept in check by regulations. Only so many can be caught and it in no way hurts the population. Actually helps it. Less lobsters on the ocean bottom means healthier lobster. Not having to compete for food.

I think it has something to do with the fact that the fish are not grounded to the earth so the current just travels around them not through them.

sounds like someone has an economics exam coming up. \nProbably has something to do with employment rates and consumerism.   the ability of the population to keep the economy rolling, by having positive cash flow.

There is no such thing. Once it apparantly rained fish in Bath or somewhere in England. That's where they get it.

Life has a strange way of just happening; with or without our permission.  Circumstance sometimes dictate change, and change may not always mean a sign of instability, in fact sometimes its the exact opposite.  We all have to constantly go back to the drawing board when it comes to life; in other words--let life happen, accept what we can't change, and hopefully be able to smoothly transition into whatever new challenges come our way........

The official reason is that they make an 'orderly market'. They must buy and sell to keep the market from sudden and dramatic shifts. So they are forced to buy and sell under certain conditions. \n\nIt is also true that the make full use of opportunities to buy and sell when they can make money. \n\nIt's an unpleasant trade-off. \n\nI don't agree with them or with this policy but that's what is happening.

Consider that if such a program were to exist using artificial human intelligence or neural networks, and it was successful , then whoever owned the first one would already be the King of the Stock Market.  You're right about program trading which is very short term.  However the stock market is not a pure science and cannot be predicted longer term, with any certainty, using algorithms.  It is actually part statistical science, partly an art, and partly understanding the psychology of the masses.

Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who lived in a village, and in that village he became very well known for selling a particular kind of fish that all the villagers took home and cooked for their families. So popular was this fisherman that he came to believe that his fish must be the best fish in the whole river, ( even though the river had many other kinds of fish in it ). He even started to claim that his fish had much longer-lasting health benefits than other fish, and that that was why other fish had lost popularity in his own village.\n\nThen one day another fisherman came to the village. This fisherman not only caught fish, but cooked his fish, and served them to the other villagers. Now, as it turned out, his ability to both catch fish and cook them seemed to make him even more popular with the villagers than the first fisherman.\n\nBut the first fisherman was very puzzled by this, as he had become so convinced of his own popularity and success. So he went to the second fisherman to ask what his secret was.\n\n"Well", said the second fisherman, "The river is flowing and abundant, so I'm happy to catch any fish that are in the river, for there are indeed many. And when I get all the different kinds of fish back to my kitchen, I use only the very finest parts of each fish, ( discarding the rest ), and then I cook them together, and serve them to my customers. But I only serve them the right combination of fish according to what I know are the tastes of my individual customers. Because when you know what others really want, then you can really serve them. And serving customers well - that is what I call a real taste of success.

The basic trend in nature for anything to move from a state of order to one of disorder (chaos) over time.  Think of dropping a glass of water.  It breaks into many pieces and goes flying everywhere.  Now if you picked up all of the pieces and dropped them, they would not reform into a complete glass.  This is an example of entropy.

I believe that the items in question- discounts/rebates-are the items that were either, overly stocked items, or the Supermarket is just simply trying to sell the product faster than they anticipated haveing around, because it has to go, so that they can start putting up the new items that are comeing in up on the shelves. I also think that it's because the items date time for freshness is running-out.

Bad things don't last, either.  The more unusual a situation is, the less stable it is.  If a situation is more stable, it becomes the usual.

There are electronic trading companies for crazy people like me who can't wait for the market to open the next day.  The prices can fluctuate wildly for some stocks because the price is determined by a handful of people that are selling and a handful that are buying.  It's open for around 3 hours after the closing bell in NY and for a few hours before the opening bell.
