He says that in twenty-eight years as a professional investor he hasn't had a single truly satisfactory trading day.
The company's chairman, Neil Johnson, said: "Christmas sales were encouraging after a period of slow sales in the UK during the summer of 2006 and we therefore expect to report a satisfactory trading result for the current financial year.
Numerical experiments show the method yields monotonically converging prices, and satisfactory trade-offs between accuracy and computational time.
This paper studies the problem of decentralized control design for thermal control in buildings, to achieve a satisfactory trade-off between underlying performance and robustness objectives.
The satisfactory trade-off between accuracy and computation time provided by the proposed method is illustrated using two application examples: reconfiguration and long-term power production of PV strings.
However, important security and flexibility limitations, arising from the usage of a predictable access port for such a critical application, prevent a satisfactory trade-off between authentication strength and service availability.
We show, through a detailed and extended simulation evaluation, that our parameter-based family of protocols for multi-path data propagation significantly reduce the number of collisions and thus increase the rate of successful message delivery (to above 90%) by achieving satisfactory trade-offs with the average propagation delay.
In this example, we achieve a satisfactory trade-off between the two extremes with an arbitrary choice of w = 200.
Besides having a satisfactory trade-off between discrimination and generalization, the model also allowed patients be divided into a reasonable number of classes, most characterized by well separated confidence intervals of prognostic probabilities.
After uniting two adjacent classes, a model with six score groups not only gave a satisfactory trade-off between discrimination and generalization, but also enabled patients to be allocated to classes, most of which were characterized by well separated confidence intervals of prognostic probabilities.
It was a highly satisfactory deal.
