Who cares how you use the word? a) get over it, because people will keep using it(even though many of them probably don't know what variance is and use it to sound smart) b) get a freakin life...have you seen the gammer used in this forum?

Get your panties out of a bunch and stop wasting my time reading these worthless posts. NO ONE CARES AND THEY WILL KEEP USING IT!!

A real LOL too, not just a typed one.

Okay, consider my panties unbunched.

Honestly, my degree of peeve was overstated (my post is a little tongue-in-cheek), but I really do think a lot of people (not necessarily you or anyone else reading this) may want to think about what people mean by "good" and "bad" variance. A lot of folks here seem to think that bad variance explains everything bad that happens to their bankrolls.

Also, I am willing to bet that the people who post the type of thing I'm talking about don't know anything about random walks.

A small number might, but that would just be because of bad variance.

this is my pet peeve, i don't actually believe this just happened.
