    Why Fat is the Preferred Fuel for Human Metabolism

    My wife and I switched to basically a primal/paleo diet about 3 months ago. My wife lost 25 of the 35 pounds she wanted to lose and we haven't even really started an exercise regimen yet. I didn't have any weight to lose, but have had many benefits. - Mentally I am much sharper. I feel...

    Weekly Options: buy them or sell them?

    This is actually exactly the way I have been using weeklies. Just saw this thread and was going to post something similar, but I see you have already covered it. I have only been trading the weeklies for a short time, but I am never short them. Always either long or spread. Maybe there are...

    Best Data Feed for using Multicharts

    IQFeed is your answer. Esignal doesn't have the full volume of the ES come through in real time, in my experience. Either that or IQFeed is making up lots of extra transactions. I have been using IQFeed now for a few years in MultiCharts and I have zero complaints. Very, very rare to have...

    Programmer monthly rate (Java multithreading IB Platform)

    Having non-traders doing your programming doesn't much reduce the likelihood of your trading ideas getting stolen. If some programmer type sees trading ideas that are making buckets of money, you think he is less likely to take them because he wasn't previously interested in trading? This is...

    Most Important Lesson Of The Year.

    I know everyone says that you have to trade in a way that fits your personality, but sometimes a successful method just finds you when you aren't even looking for it. It would be pretty stupid to discard it if it could potentially make you a lot of money. I have been doing discrectionary...

    tv shows that should expire the end of 2010

    I love how people bitch about TV, then spend a ton of time watching it anyway. Turn off the fucking TV and do something with all that extra time that doesn't rot your brain.

    Do all American women make horrible wives? Correct me if I am wrong.

    Seems like you just described a good majority of the current generation, men and women, regardless of color or nationality. White women don't have a lock on these crummy behavior patterns. Can you honestly say, looking through that list, that it doesn't match up to men as closely as it does to...

    City in USA to chill-out/trade from

    I lived in Portland for almost 10 years, and loved it there, but you are exaggerating some of these points. Hiking/biking I agree are both awesome there, and the weather in the spring/summer/fall is great usually. The light rail is not that wonderful and isn't nearly as comprehensive as you...

    Metal

    I only like about 10% of the Alternative music I heard in the 90s, but I can't stop listening to this modern alternative band. They are my favorite thing to listen to right now. They have some metal influences in there somewhere too. It is nice to find new music that is a bit deep and still...

    Trading vs Playing poker, will it help with my trading?

    I think the truth is somewhere between what you post and what he posted. You don't agree that patience, discipline, and a deep understanding of expectation are key to both activities?

    Trading vs Playing poker, will it help with my trading?

    Poker can help with your discipline and patience, and can also help you really internalize the concept of expectation which is very key to being a profitable trader. There are a lot of concepts in each that don't really map to the other, so don't try to find links where there aren't any, but...

    Metal

    Can't remember if I've posted this before, but this is one of the best metal albums of the last year IMO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moZwgUex4aA

    SQL question

    If I am understanding your problem correctly (and I'm not sure I am), try something like this. This should show all rows where there exist multiple rows for the same date x. select mt1.x, mt1.y, mt1.z from mytable mt1 where trunc(mt1.x) in (select trunc(mt2.x)...
