Actually, each, together with other influences like sentiment and momentum, has the ability to drive the other.

When U R talking about the `big picture` like SJM did, `sentiment N momentum` are all part of demand. If U have more demand, U will soon have enough supply becoz more demand than supply drives up prices N if there is money to b made soon there will b new suppliers 2 fill 100% of the demand. ;)

Try this~ 2 much supply, low demand= supply will dry up. 2 much demand, low supply=higher prices and more peeps 2 try 2 fill the demand.

Demand drives supply.

Of course, in the real world, cartels form to limit supply and maintain or further drive prices. Which sometime can have the opposite effect limiting, or eliminating demand totally, as the demand side seeks other alternatives. Golf anyone?:D

Terry,
I'm quite sure that almost none would tune it to the Super Bowel even if it was live. Possible sponsors might include Pepto and Imodium. No doubt the Browns would win this.

Glad to see you're paying attention. It's 150 WPM, BTW. What an embellishment!

I went back and checked your original claim (way back when, in a land far, far away :-) and you are right.

150wpm it is, damnit.

JAM-

Can you put a video up on YouTube of you typing 150 WPM? That would be something to see.

Wow! What a thread.

To be honest, though, despite all the controversial, and occasonally harsh, posts found herein, most of what's been written makes a lot of sense. Here in these AZB parts, most of us are very passionate about our sport and the shape of its future, and most of us have something useful to add to the analysis of American pro pool's past, present and future.

As we've seen, we're not all on the same page as to how things have been done or should be done when it comes to the planning for and administration of American pro pool events, and that's OK.

Still, here in the world of pro pool, there are certain economic realities with which we must all come to grips, the first of which is that the blind application of economic principles to the American pro pool proudct is an iffy proposition in and of itself.

In most sectors of the economy, there is adequate supply and as new suppliers enter, those least capable of delivering the product in a way that meets the needs of consumers are driven out, leaving supply right where it should be. The absence of those suppliers lost, at least in theory, does no damage to the economic sector.

Contrastingly, for products where supply is insufficient, suppliers are not only more important, but they, predictably, exert more power over the delivery of the product. Tempting as it may be to drive imperfect suppliers away, it is impractical to do so, because it would make things worse, as the instantaneous emergence of alternative suppliers cannot be counted on.

The American pro pool tournament is, sadly, an example of a product where supply is insufficient. It is for this reason that I find the feduing among the many producers and would-be producers of pro pool events so dispiriting. The economic realities of our sport demand that we encourage every supplier of American pro pool events.

Why make it all so personal? Producers of American pro pool are in short supply, and every single one of them is precious, and worthy of being treated as such by others who truly care about American pro pool and its future.

As always a sensible, well presented and logical contribution. If I hadn't actually met you then I would not believe that you are real. I would think that you are some kind of Zen supercomputer which always says the right thing at the right time.

All right, this thread is done. Cap it at SJM's post. :-)
 
Just read past the fist fights and there are a lot of gems to be learned.

This is AZB at its finest. Back to lurk mode.

Thank you for a reasonable and insightful post without the insults, bitterness, and personal comments that grew to be extremely hateful.

Yes Jim, SJM did have the right outlook. I think he could have cut out all the fluff N poor economics lesson but his last paragraph is all that needed 2 B said. :cool:

I've seen people do it before - almost seems like they hit all the keys at the same time. If she transcribes, I wouldn't bet against it.

I think we chatted briefly online in the past that you have some experience with transcription services. :)

I do type 150-plus WPM on a keyboard. When people converse, the colloquy can range anywhere from 180 WPM to 275 WPM. In order to be certified as a court reporter, one must be able to stenotype 225 WPM for normal colloquy and 275 WPM for jury charge. Typing/transcription is a different animal, though. I am fortunate that I have the capability to do both.

Recently, because of another thread, I actually did a little research on who is the fastest typist in the world (on a keyboard, not a stenotype machine).

According to Guinness Book of World Records, it is a lady named Barbara Blackburn from from Oregon who was clocked 212 WPM. However, the keyboard she used to type this fast is not the same as the traditional keyboard most people use. It is called a "Dvorak," as depicted below. You can see how the letters are moved to different places on the Dvorak to assist with speed, I guess. Here's a link about it: http://web.syr.edu/~rcranger/blackburn.htm

Interestingly, Barbara Blackburn, the fastest typist in the world, can maintain 150 WPM for 50 minutes on a traditional keyboard, and so can I. That's 37,500 keystrokes, BTW, in a 50-minute period of time. :D

Since math is not my best subject, I was trying to figure out how many keystrokes that is per minute, but I came with a blank! :o

Many moons ago when I worked downtown full time, I never did meet a transcriptionist who could type as fast as me. There were a few good ones, 120 WPM, et cetera, but none who could bang as many pages per hour as myself. Of course, in my business, it doesn't matter how fast you are or how well you type. The most important goal is to be on time with the delivery of the transcript! In the end, that's all the client cares about! ;)
