Will Facebook save the market? Thoughts? -- I would vote no. I think the focus is solely on the European debacle. If Greece leaves the EU and there is going to be a similar move like we saw last year. Facebook's a nice story buy it doesn't have any real weight to carry the market -- True. This ia a fickle market. -- Since this is such a headline driven market and we're near a psychological low, 1300 SPX, maybe Facebook will renew bullish enthusiasm and help reverse the down trend Thoughts? -- Can Facebook's Debut Survive Such a Volatile Market? 12 hrs ago - CNBC.com For Facebook to live up to its larger-than-life public image, it will have to withstand a broader stock market where the overwhelming pressure is heading downward. The Facebook [ FB 38.00 +0.00 (+0.00%) ] bet then—at least for investors willing to take a stab at the company whose initial public offering goes online Friday—is that the shares can rise even if the market falls,and perhaps even create its own momentum that lifts all of Wall Street higher.

Best alternative development stack for R with Hadoop? Forget MYSQL? Cassandra and Java listeners for market tick data

Best alternative development stack for R with Hadoop? Forget MYSQL? Cassandra and Java listeners for market tick data After reading about the limitation of MYSQL and how expensive it can get, I decided to take chance on Cassandra. One big reason there is a RCassandra package within CRAN so yippee for that. Also, the install does not look hard and better yet, you can integrate it with Hadoop. Yipee for that! Also, Cassandra may be faster for writing than HBase which was part of the RHadoop offering so boo to that. Also, I plan to have to some Java listeners to my market data to populate the Cassandra database. This stack may work so let’s cross my fingers.  Here are my links that got me thinking this way: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4884967/hadoop-hbase-hdfs-vs-mysql-or-postgres-loads-of-independent-structured-d http://ria101.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/hbase-vs-cassandra-why-we-moved/ http://blog.milford.io/2010/06/installing-apache-cassandra-on-centos/ This above install of Cassandra appears to work with a few tricks as running as root but does work and installed fine. http://www.datastax.com/docs/0.7/map_reduce/hadoop_mr http://code.google.com/p/cassandra-java-client/ The last 2 links  I question but the Cassandra install may be worth doing but integrating with Hadoop could be a challenge. I also hope the RCassandra works to.
