I bought the quad 28" at Xmas. It was easy to setup. You do need a large desk or the room to place a bookcase or something to extend your desk area as the monitor stand base is about a 12"+ deep. Bottom line if you always wanted a monitor stand, this brand is solid/sturdy, easy setup, monitors...

List them on Craigs list. I have seen silver coins and copper pennies by the pound listed in areas well outside of metro areas - like Maine. Now trying to exchange euros or GBP for dollars on CL is a far different story. Here in central PA I have seen people selling a handful of silver coins...

They are based in Gibraltar, I think that says enough. Additionally, from what I remember about them, they had a handful of people, like 10ish, and are a full service brokerage outfit jobbing like all other f/s brokers. They also seem to have shotgun approach to i/net marketing. Given the...

Depends on what you are looking for - outside of Patagonia tapas, the weather and being able to walk everywhere, I found the place to be a backwards pain in the arse. It is a place that you either love or hate. Living in Spain is cheaper, but you have the border to deal with as well as the...

I have not traded or looked at the Dax for a few years, but if my memory is correct, the bid/ask in the Dax was usually a tick wide, occasionally 2, back in 2004 and it moved in fits and starts. If it is always 2 ticks wide now, it must move very erratically. What is the Stoxx bid/ask like? I...

You need a disclosure document; an auditor - allegedly they are suppose to have passed some licensing exam specifically focused on investments - not some one-clown shop located in the sticks (yes I am referring to Madoff, how he got away with his auditors is beyond me); an administrator. These...

If you are looking for W5 top then the pattern is not yet complete. Now a Wb will stop around here. Given the one way sentiment, I am looking for a turn in the $, gold and stocks. Not a popular view, but that is mine.

If you expect the spread between the two contracts to move towards zero, then you need to buy Dec sell Mar. You can short a spread, but you have to understand how it is quoted.

The spread market quotes the spread as sell Dec buy March, so you really want to BUY the spread, not sell it. Thus as stated above you under the market. This is just one of the idiosyncrasies of spreading.

I was reviewing the KW Z9 - KW N0 and ZW Z9 - ZW N0 spreads. They are currently starting to diverge - the KW spread breaking to new lows while the ZW spread is well above its Sep low. Is this telling us something? The ZW spread suggests higher futures prices, while the KW spread suggests lower...

check your email, just sent daily closing values of TRIN.

You math is correct, so the issue has to do with the time print on the prices. Are these the settlement prices or last traded prices?

I am assuming that the price is in a cell by itself and you have a lot of data. Hit the Control key and the H key simultaneously, then in the find field type ^4 and in the replace field type in .5, then hit the replace all button, repeat for other values. Otherwise you will need to use IF...

Rtrader2525 - where did you obtain your storage prices from? The storage price I received from my broker's back office was 8.25 cents per bushel. I am now thinking that they quoted their storage price for me (like I want to incorporate that headache into my plan) and not what the commercials are...
