Real helpful post, dumbass.

I understand your point, but that is too much work. I might get less selling it as a whole, but I'll save a great deal of time and potential trouble. Right now, that matters to me more. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm either returning to school or moving out of the country. Which I choose remains to be seen. Whatever the case, I won't need a wall of monitors.

Fair enough. No price until I do some research. Case: Antec P182 Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Motherboard: *Gigabyte EP45-UD3P P45 Express Chipset CPU: Intel Quad Core Q6600 G0 Stepping CPU Cooling: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2GB...

Thanks for the replies. I'll deliver it and set it up, but there is no chance of me shipping a tower, six monitors, a monitor stand, and a UPS.

If I wanted to list my computer for sale, would I do it here or in classifieds? Thanks in advance.

If I compare the May options on Google to the May options on the Russell 2000 Index, it's far more apparent on GOOG than it is on RUT. So maybe a better question would be why is it more pronounced in individual equities than an index?

I'm new to options and trying to find my way around. At this point, I've read a lot of material, but can't really make heads of tails of it all. Think of each book/article as a piece to a puzzle. I have 100 pieces to a puzzle spread out on the table, but I can't see the big picture...

Earnings.com is the best free source you'll find.

Can anyone offer an opinion on the difference between Briefing.com, Streetinsider.com, theflyonthewall.com, and streetaccount.com? From the outside, they all appear to offer more or less the same thing. So, if anyone can offer insight into why one is better/different than the others, I would...
