Put 200k into Google in 1997 like one investor who by all estimates stands to make 300 million in the IPO. Thats a nice return. RPC

Dear Mark: My APC units have a surge protector built in on some of the female plugs and whenever there is a surge I never have to reset anything. (At least not that I know of) Do you have any problem with the surge protector having to be reset if there is a loss of power or does the...

I saw this snapshot on Raschke's website and I was wondering if this a part of a bigger piece of trading software or if is just as it is named: http://www.lbrgroup.com/index.asp?page=DailyCharts&date=2003%2D01%2D14 Thanks, RPC

Of course, the big question is how long does a person have left on this earth? If anyone knew this ahead of time then it would make a lot of retirement planning considerably easier. In the year 1900 the average age of an American was approximately 47 years and now it is in the late seventy's...

Mr. Dinky: You're right, the cable company will never know. I use a LinkSys router/switch 4 port and have had up to 3 computers at a time without a problem. Now, if want to have a different IP address for another computer then you will want to pay the extra 4.99 or whatever each month for...

I was handed this information on a sheet of paper after I finished the exam. Not sure what the numbers 1.1, 3.4.8 etc pertain to. At the bottom of the sheet it said, "Refer to Content Outline for the General Securities Registered Representative Examination for complete descriptions of the...

From what I have read on this thread, it appears that putting on large positions on the NYSE is easier than doing the same on the NASDAQ. Now there has to some large traders on the NASDAQ also, so how do they go about putting on the large orders? Is there a size limit on the NASDAQ you...

Does anyone have any posts that they would like to sell?

My vote just made it 4 votes for the reds. The blues have a measly 2 votes. (The red vote is the top box.)

I had an interesting experience recently. I just happened to come across Steve Gibson's site and read the article about the 13 year old who successfully brought down his site temporarily. This article is located at http://grc.com/dos/grcdos.htm. It is a somewhat long but, very interesting and...

I think that the ability of members to post under multiple names is not helpful to the site except that it may boost slightly the number of members that belong to Elite Trader. One site (non trading related) that I have seen puts the IP address underneath the login name in every post. That...
