The economics of the new Yankee Stadium


Ticket prices at the new Yankee Stadium are so high that if a New Yorker wants to watch a Mariners/Yankees game from the best seats, it would be a lot cheaper to fly to Seattle, stay in a nice hotel, eat fancy dinners, and see two games.

Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.

Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle, Friday, Aug. 14, return Sunday the 16th, rental car for three days, two-night double occupancy stay in four-star hotel, two top tickets to both the Saturday and Sunday Yanks-Mariners games, two best-restaurant-in-town dinners for two. Total cost, $2,800. Plus-frequent flyer miles.

Our program is a professional service to the financial industry; rats are being trained to become superior traders in the financial markets. Using our own methodology in accordance with well-established animal training techniques, our subjects learn to recognize pattens in historical stock and futures data as well as generating trading signals. We provide solutions for tick based trading data and day based data. RATTRADERS rats can be trained exclusively for any financial market segment. They outperform most human traders and represent a much more economic solution for your trading desk.






STEP 2 TRAINING THE RAT TRADERS
From the beginning, the future brokers are exclusively trained in the market segments they will also be working in after their training has been accomplished. The basic training takes about 3 months. The environment is a so called Skinner Box, widely used in experiments and industry for behavioral experiements with animals. The rats are separately trained for 5 hours daily. Every day, they are confronted with 100 different ticker tracks.
The goal is to make them find out sound-patterns that humans are not able to recognize and to predict the next market move after the last sound heard. Each time after listening to a sound, the rats must choose pressing either a green or a red button, green for "long" (if the prices are expected to move up), red for "short" (if they predict a decline in prices). If their prediction prooves to have been correct, they receive a small amount of food, if the wrong button has been pressed, the failing candidates receive a minor electric shock.
