Stock_trad3r, Did you even read the article. Ebay is laying off over 1000 people. By the way, I thought you promised to go for good once the S&P fell below 1252.

Boomer, Who is your internet provider? Many already provide free anti-virus/firewall/spam blocking software you can download.

John, I'll second what Dozu said. I know nothing about her, but these courses are never worth the money. There are many good books which you can even check out at the library or pay less than $30. Try Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas. It's a little repetitive, but covers the most...

Cable's upstream speed is usually many times slower than the downstream. Even considering this 3 fps seems a bit slow. Do you have a network with multiple computers? If you do then see if you have the same speed problem on the local network. If not, try MSN Messenger with someone that has...

I use Gainskeeper to track all my accounts. There are probably similar websites/programs which do the same though. It does a decent job of reconciling transactions. It will notify you if it finds discrepancies. I subscribed mainly for it's ability to generate the schedule D and detail. I'm...

B.S. - The best fade in the history of trading.

D.S.- That's a fairly broad set of questions you are asking. To keep it short I would recommend you browse www.nymex.com. They have several free online seminars that cover a range of trading topics. I know that Mark Fisher's seminar on his trading system is still posted. They have specific...

Please take Bluestreak with you.

Blue, you should just stick with the Yahoo boards. People like you come and go, but I think it hurts the new traders to here all of your "theories".

I'm assuming that you have an available PCI slot in addition to the PCIe. Just place a dual-head card in the PCIe and then another video card in the PCI slot. Matrox sells a 4 in 1 PCI video card, but the above solution would better if you need higher end graphics for other than trading...

Many traders will get Vista by default on machines that they purchase, but I see no advantage (at least for traders) to upgrade WinXP to Vista. Gamers may have to upgrade next year because only Vista will run DirectX 10.

The driver issue with Vista is a little complicated. Currently I'm running Vista RC1 (32-bit). The built-in driver support is fairly good, but it didn't support my D-link PCI Wireless card. I was able to force the WinXP driver to install which works fine. I have many peripherals which just...

I tend to dislike posting links to blogs, but this one seemed very appropriate for this sub-forum: http://badanalysis.blogspot.com/2006/10/10-reasons-your-co-workers-make-stupid.html It discusses some of the reasons people make bad decisions.
