Kicking There are many reliable (and cheap) ISPs here. The one I use is http://www.freedom2surf.net/ Rock solid - never had downtime during market hours in over a year of using it. In fact it has only stopped 3 times as far as I know - for about 10 minutes each time at about 3am (yes...

I once had one of those in the early days of paper futures statements sent the next day to you. Think I've still got it framed somewhere! I didn't say a thing - I thought I would give it at least a week before escaping the country with the loot :p In any case they reversed the error in...

Hi xs, sorry didnt mean to make u cry :) For some interesting pointers on how to program and use macros in excel try http://www.cpearson.com/excel/topic.htm Also, for what you are doing it is probably easier (albeit expensive and initially a steep learning curve) to buy either...

OK thanks for those explanations and putting it in terms of bids & offers makes it quite clear. You have also introduced a new variable - money supply. So basically what you are saying is that even if you have an interest rate keeping up with the inflation rate, the fact that money supply...

"If you had $1000 saved today and someone else had $1,000,000 saved today. Then, if by next week prices had gone up %1000 which would be 10 times, your $1000 (1000/10 )would buy $100 worth of goods and services at todays prices. You basically lost $900. The other person's $1,000,000...

Thanks guys, Basically the answer then is that, in the real world, the banks, government and other institutions would, due to their own nervousness, probably be expected to conspire against the common saver in some such way that would have a contra or lagging effect to the predominant trend...

Excuse me for being dim, but why wouldn't they rise in line with CPI?

I wonder if any of you econ wizards can a question for me. When a country experiences hyperinflation such as Germany in the 1920/30s I don't quite understand how that affected savers. In this example historybooks tell us that it was the middle class and the elderly who had saved all their...

Hi XS, I had a little go at this but it is not perfect. I have attached two macros to two different buttons for you (yes, enable macros - it is safe in this instance). One button does the web download and then sorts the columns. The other just sorts the columns (as excel already has...

I have excel refresh my stock portfolio from Yahoo in exactly the way I want it. There is a screen you havent seen yet that allows you to keep your column widths etc on refresh. Data - Get External Data - Data Range Properties. The other thing is that the first time you set up a web...

just thought I would complete this thread by saying all my problems now seem fixed. Two solutions (for those that prefer, like myself to have the exact speck and software unavailable by buying an off the shelf system): 1. Updated Video driver. Matrox fun and games ! 2. In my bios I...

gnome et al thanks for your quick help. I have found the solution to most of my ills though. Matrox was the bugger (aren't they always?) ! The standard W2k drivers for my 4 screen card worked fine on my old mbo but needed the latest (feb 19th) drivers from the matrox site for new p4...

Hi For years I have sailed along quite happily with a PIII 600 and 1 GB of memory. This weekend I went for it and upgraded to a P4 2.0 with asrock p4vt8 motherboard and 1.5 GB of memory, otherwise the same system (windows 2000 SP4, Matrox G200 4 monitors, twin 40gb HDD). It was a clean...

I was long GBP/USD moments after Friday's economic numbers. Instant electronic fill. I daytrade quite a bit and never get requotes.

" In order to be successful, you must project an image of success at all times. This was like one of the biggest lessons in my life. It sure stuck. I applied it to my whole life. And yes, it works. It always works. It works to get business, it works to get women, it just works. " As an...

I have really been trying to find the solution to this and http code just does not seem to make sense to me (and I used to program 6502 machine code in the 1980s!). I do not want it in excel !!! - it is easier to use in individual files for each index I want to follow. So boiling down the...

Sent you a pm Funster

Socialized medicine in England. Hey its not that bad here (!) - and it is a good point - an average GP now gets £60,000 ( $108,000 ), so he should be able to afford to help her. Probably doesnt like her sexual orientation ! Anyway she has probably made the £10,000 +++ by selling her...

Hi, The following HTML code will automatically refresh a webpage. Handy for free real time index updates on Yahoo for instance when you can't be bothered to log in to your normal quote provider. However I would also like it to scroll down the page a little bit so that I can see the whole...

Cutten "buying a US business worth $1 million " Its more like $40,000 minimum with 2 US employees- we were going to emigrate from UK to Florida, but decided in the end not to. Would miss family, friends and proper pubs :)
