The amount ,in the moment of the burst, does really matter?

An indivdual one probably doesn't influence it that much, unless you're LTCM.  A lot of them are momentum driven, so they increase general volatility on the up and down moves that happen naturally.\n\nEdit: Now that I think about it, penseur's argument is pretty accurate.  By the way, penseur, your email is unconfirmed, so you can't receive private messages...

It depends on the situation.

It depends on how much money is involved or how little is not

You've gotta build into it - if you go full out as soon as you're in, ya - that's gonna hurt.  If you let it build and build, increasing with time - that rocks and doesn't hurt a bit!

Yes.  A huge spike will be more powerful than a #10 finishing nail.  The current flow has more to do with it, but the size matters.  \n\nwhere have I heard that before?

Sometimes. It completely depends upon the seriousness of the issue

Not much difference here today.  What they did not spend today they either spent yesterday or will spend tomorrow.  So as you see it will not have an effect on our economy.  Whether you buy it today or tomorrow you still have to have what you need to live, so you will buy it .

Recent employment data suggests that we are nearing full employment. This last occured in 2001, just before the air was let out of the economy. Before that, we were teased with near-full employment in 1996. \n\nWhere our economy goes depends on how interest rates are played. If they are allowed to continue rising, as they should (offset inflation), we'd still be below historical levels and economic growth would slowly decline. If they are held static or are somehow reduced, further economic activity would occur, which would overheat our economy. Either way, I see us nearing an apex. \n\nThe question is whether that apex is relatively small or large in scale to the economic growth we experienced since 1996. \n\nWho's to say. \n\nBut if all you're asking is whether we're in a trough or peak right now, my guesstimate is peak.

To elaborate further, your mode does tell you what the most common value in your data is, but, like the median, it's a somewhat arbitrary value.  For example, take the data set 1,2,2,3,7.  Both the mode and the median are 2, and the mean is 3.  Now take the data set 1,2,2,25,50.  Again, the mode and the median are both 2, but the mean is now 16.  Now, say that second data set represents the number of shark attacks that have happened in the past 5 years off the coast of a beachfront property you're thinking about buying.  I'd much rather know the mean number of shark attacks, not the mode or the median, wouldn't you?
