How's this experiment for a more intimate encounter with global warming: Get in a car, roll up the windows, turn off the ignition, remove the car keys. Sit there fore a while. It gets hot.

At least that's what Wall Street wants you to believe at this point or else companies like Goldman Sachs can't make money. (Replace "make" with any other word you deem fit.)

In what way? I've been using AMD systems for years and still do. It works just fine with Linux.

Way to go PennyTrader! I'm rooting for you. I wish I could trade as successfully as you. I bet most of the naysayers are New Yorkers. Where are you from? Keep up the good work. A question about your straddle. What would you have done if YHOO didn't move much after it announced earnings...

How did it go? BTW: There are many, many VP's at JPM. :)

illinimatt81 has a good point. Your insurance rate would go down as well. 1-2k left is like trading scared. I personally would feel uncomfortable trading under those circumstances. Trading because I have to is a bit too much pressure psychologically. What I've done is increase capital and...

I'm not a genius, but this question doesn't require a genius to get. :) Now if anyone solved King's Quest I's puzzle, then that's a piece of work. "Think backwards" scribbled on a note in the gingerbread house. Most I got was Rumplestiltskin before I threw in the towel. I was a wee lad...

I'd like to attend, if anything to meet other traders. What booth is Maverick going to be at? And again, which days?

I don't know of any, but please pardon my ignorance... What's wrong with A, H, & D?

Pardon my ignorance... What is he referring to? That Dimension, Hold or Assent is in the same building?

You mean a pattern day trader? I think they've made a mistake. Have them explain to you what exactly you've violated.

This has been most entertaining a thread. I wish the way things are in this country were less selfish. After all, this is a country that champions individualism, and in it has its issues -- like what's in it for ME. And lawyers know too well the price of individualism. Back to the topic...
