    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Thanks for the patch. (Actually, today was the first time I had an issue with logon to QT & IQFeed...Gave me only 2days intraday+also the ads, that was solved with patch/re-entering the reg code). Re. item #2: How do you get more than the 10 days of intraday on the charts? Cannot go beyond...

    Airlines to short

    Thanks, and here are most of the comments the CEO (and CFO)of LCC made: BTW, you are right re. "weak economy/natural hedge" comment... US Airways is the only major airline that does not hedge fuel, a wise policy when fuel prices are falling. "We've thought for a long time that hedges are...

    Airlines to short

    Some good trades...being short airlines from the 1st qt of 2011... I'm not convinced by your fuel hedging argument...The markets seem to treat all airlines the same... Maybe LCC did the smart thing, after all?!... Here is the CEO, granted he's going to talk his/their book...

    I have an older Precision 690, for charting only...It has been slowing down, and the last few days almost unusable...4 24" monitors...lots of charts etc. I'm looking at the T3500, but out of curiosity, I'm wondering if I could upgrade this old work-horse of mine... Here are the specs...

    Ron Paul: "The U.S. Government Must Admit It Is Bankrupt"

    Tax rates were extremely high for a few decades after WW2...not so sure it was a disaster... The 80% you're referring to...just wondering if anyone actually PAID that percentage...deductions, deductions galore... If we want to build roads, schools etc. in foreign lands, we better be ready...

    Thoughts on Research In Motion (RIMM)

    Nothing to add, except that I disagree strongly with your point re. AAPL... Where is their Steve Jobs? Maybe MSFT will step up to the plate... BTW, MSFT also is in dire need of a Steve Jobs...someone with a vision...so few of those kind of leaders, I'm afraid...

    "Budget" build gone wrong

    Man robs bank to get medical care in jail

    Just want to comment about the..."not pay a cent"... Universal healthcare is paid for by higher taxes, in some form...(VAT, higher oil/fuel taxes, income taxes etc.)... What is a shame/scam is the fact that the US is spending approximately 16% of GDP on healthcare, and all the "socialist"...

    48% of Americans see Depression in next 12 months

    Believe that President Bush got fewer than 50% in 2000... "It was the closest election since 1888 and only the fourth election in which the electoral vote did not reflect the popular vote." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2000...

    Will baby boomers get their pension?

    Close to 15 trillion dollars in private retirement accounts here in the US. Couldn't that money be "nationalized"? Or would the push-back from such a plan be too much, even for the democrats? I'm now thinking about the millions coming into retirment age here in the US, with very small...
