I feel sorry for the people in Alberta. I was surprised when I read the Calgary Stampede was still a go, although I suspected they'd put all their effort into making sure it was ok. It brings a ton of revenue for the region.

Am I the only one who doesn't get why people would trade real money for Bitcoins?

That is true. MSFT used to be the king of tech and now look at them. I think though that Facebook has a huge problem with their business model in that I'm not sure how many people who don't use the site actively now will ever use it actively in the future. That is, sure there are some people who...

Arm might have some influence but I doubt Intel is going away any time soon... They have the money and brand recognition to make a dent in the tablet market. If they could ever strike a deal with Apple to put Intel mobile chips in the iPads they'd be golden. Arm's market is based a lot on...

Thanks for the suggestion! Young Men and Fire looks like a very interesting read.

+1 on this thread being an excellent read.

Maybe not 50% of FB's accounts are fake, but I suspect a good portion are. FB is total BS that one day will probably be long forgotten. It's the cause of so many problems - I just wish people would give it up and live a real life.

I like lostman's advice as well. I've done some trading, but looking to get more into it. I feel like a lot of traders lose because they either trade against the trend or they begin "doubling-down" on trades. It's so tempting to do both...

I've never used Ruby or R either, but as a former VB programmer I'd second the notion of learning C#. It really is a good language to use and you can do a ton with it without getting into the complexities of C++ or C. Plus Microsoft has thrown its full weight behind it which isn't a bad thing.

That is very sad :(. My condolences to the firefighters' families. They risked their lives to help save the people of Arizona.

Somehow I've always wondered about this... Like are lucky people just born lucky or do they subconsciously make themselves lucky. I would think it would have to be a bit of both... I mean if a dude hits the jackpot at a casino, that's just pure luck, but the dude that keeps writing programs and...

Damn that's a lot of money. I'm tempted to drive across the border and get a ticket. $475M is far more than we ever get up here in Canada.

I don't think people are quite aware of how high the debt is in Canada. I keep hearing people be "thankful" that Canadians aren't like the US, but in reality, it has some of the highest debt ratios around. Houses are long overdue for a price correction. Many people won't bat an eye at buying a...

The initial entrant should make quite a bit of money, you'd think...? But the question is if everyone is cured how do people continue to make money off of the drug. This is incredibly promising research and I certainly hope that for the good of humanity, we can get past the dollar signs and...

Hi, Would anyone happen to know what other services can do this? I think this would be great to have. TradeStation seems like an awesome platform, but I'm just wondering if TradeStation is my only option or if there are other places. None of the brokers' sites that I have checked seem to...
