    Grain futures vs. stock emini futures

    real supply and demand... thats the way I look at it... easier to understand for me those market fundamentals... so I can spread it with more confidence... just my 2 cents... I can understand most CBOT products... so I prefer those instruments...

    Back after several years...

    if she works, why not just take $50K (assuming you have a strategy) and go with Bright Trading and just trade your own account... you can trade over $1MM with that risk capital... even if you can make 5-10% on notional, that is not a bad deal IMO... specially given you stated you did it before.

    Dell XPS 8500

    I agree... but there are ways around the driver issues, specially DVD's...... as long as the NIC and chipset are supported, you are pretty "safe"... if you look at the tech guide, you will see all the distro's that are supported... which by extension would include a few others as well.. :)

    Laptop or Desktop vote in poll!

    all you have stated are pro's and con's based on limitations... but I have not seen anything about what the basis of the comparison is in terms of what requirements you are looking to meet... so not sure what you are asking... Laptop vs. Desktop in terms of what? because each has its use and...

    Dell XPS 8500

    W7 and W2008 Kernels are the same... you wont have issues with running W7 on T320... just like you will be able to run vsphere on both the same way... but what you should ask yourself is more along the lines of why you need the T320... all the "requirements" you mentioned can be met with the...

    Then came Ivy Bridge - E 12 cores!!!

    you can never keep up with tech, hence why you go by what your requirements are in the end... besides, I saw a roadmap yesterday and there was nothing with 12C.. so while the E5-2600 v2 can go up to 12... they werent actually "printing" one yet.... so you are looking at 10C's for this year...

    How Lucrative Are Wall Street Jobs?

    lol... I wish.. first off, that does look like front office only... and depends which desks... further, back office will be half of that... and the top tier (mostly Dirs) will make the high end of that half... AVP/VP's wont go pass $200K at best... if they were talking about funds, then maybe...

    how to hedge against oil price collapse?

    like ogarbitrage said, you need to determine your exposure first... and then just go out on the curve a year out and purchase puts or just buy the contract and hold the appropriate size based on your exposure... keep in mind all that will do is basically hedge you... so you will remain...

    Trading Computer

    I would run OSX in a heartbeat... we even evaluated it as a trading floor platform... but the #1 issue is... lack of software support for trading apps.. we had to bottle things or run parellels/vmware in top of it, at which point in time, what is the point of it? CQGIC doesnt run on it...
