2 1920x1200 screens here. One is 15.4". The other is 24". Looking to add a 3rd. How many trading platforms even work properly on 'just' 1024x768 anymore?

Greedy boomers are stealing all the compensation for themselves in the workplaces. The group of people entering the workforce today (or not entering the workplace..unfortunately) are the most educated, and most intelligent ever. They use technology and communicate with unsurpassed ease...

Instead of TARP, the government should have taken the $1T or whatever, and simply bought the entire stock market. That way, the bankers would not have been able to walk away with massive bonuses. They might have been able to re-capitalize their businesses, but walking off with bonuses would...

"market makers"?? You mean, there isn't a natural market in those securities? They have to have a market 'made' for them??

When people stop working inside this so-called 'virtuous circle', and creating useful output, is when it all comes crashing down. The hotel owner that is just shuffling money around like this, has no ability to renovate his hotel. The prostitute can't get a boob-job or whatever cosmetic...

If there's a new currency -- the key question is, who gets their hands on it first?? The current system is broken because the people who first place their hands on the currency are the bankers, who produce nothing of value. A new currency system would only work, IMHO, if the money was...

psytrade, I have no reason to believe that Google's accounting is bad. I just question the sustainability of the 'online advertising' business more broadly. I've personally never clicked on a Google ad. I've talked to a number of my colleagues, and they've never clicked on Google ads...

Where does Google derive all of its revenue from? Advertisers. When people don't have any money to buy stuff, why would advertisers be buying advertising? IMHO, the whole software end of the tech sector is broken almost beyond repair. The business models of today are just as flawed as the...

Not even close by a long shot. Tech industry was prosperous and growing when Americans were running it. And Google and "hot Indian girls"?? lol.

They'll fire Americans. And replace 'em with Indians. Its been the Oracle strategy for the past decade. Don't see why it won't be continued at Sun. Typically, they need about 3 Indians (worked as slaves) to replace 2 Americans (with a decent lifestyle). The Indians can be paid half as...

But the government could examine why there are prisoners locked up for relatively minor offenses (ie: narcotics, etc.), and downsize the prison system that way. Make no mistake about it, no federal job is totally safe and immune to downsizing.

Homo Depot should go bankrupt. They're a business that is completely not necessary.

Hated??? Lol. Yeah right. Everyone loves government bonds so insanely much right now that they're willing to bid treasuries down to negative yields. The 30-year chart of treasuries looks like a bubble of epic proportions. America is bankrupt, and sooner or later, pension funds are going to...

Good point, but even grandmas panic, or believe that everything is going to zero, because they lived during the great depression and might know of the Crash of 1929, or the 90% loss that ensued, where dividend income was not preserved. It is very possible that dividend income won't be...

Ummm, but it would be completely irresponsible for "grandma" to go into all T-Bills, and if she's sat on the equities for the past 40-50 years, why would she take the capital gains hit, just because the market has a propensity to go up or down 20-30%. Most 'grandmas' who have significant...

But what if they bought the Dow at 500 or 1000, back in the 60s and 70s? Is it such a bad thing that they sold at 7000, when they've collected their investment several times over in dividends? Its a similar situation unfolding in housing. "Grandma", who bought a nice house in the 50s in...

There are gazillions of very talented unemployed US engineers and programmers. WTF do you think the entire free software movement is based on? Unemployed engineers and programmers, living in their moms' basements, pushing out software.

Because, even if Americans worked at the low salaries paid to H1-B's, the H1-B's would undercut them further. H1-B's have massive structural advantages. Their upbringing and education was obtained in the 3rd world for a fraction of the cost of an American upbringing. They can borrow large...

So much for any economic 'recovery'. But hey, what's a few trillion between friends... Just remember kids, balance sheets must balance in the long run... Assets = Liabilities. If the liability side of the balance sheet keeps growing, by definition, the asset side must as well.

Peak oil is very real. But I think people consistently and vastly underestimate the engineering tools that are at our disposal to deal with the problem. If we needed to, within 3-5 years, America could cut its oil (diesel/gas) consumption in half, with proper leadership and a strong...
