    Looking For a Good Trading Rig For Low Cost?

    Was sold out when I checked. Looks like he got more to sell. These units were likely put into service in 2016-2017, but can't tell until you check out "system" or Service Tag. My Precision laptop had first been put into service only 18 months before I got it. Yes, video card is very capable...

    For the most part, the broker you choose doesn't really matter much. You need to learn how to make "good, sensible" trades and exercise discipline... The vehicle you choose doesn't matter either... stocks, options, ETFs... no "especially good one".... It's up to you to be smart and disciplined.

    I can imagine how you've heard about all the Robinhood traders who took their government stimulus money, bought Tesla calls with it, and made a bundle. Let me assure you... it usually doesn't work like that.

    Ditto. Trading options is a difficult and sophisticated game, especially for the inexperienced.

    It's a "small profit potential" play with more risk than you realize should you be exercised.

    Doubt you'll ever make more than tiny money by selling options. Yes, high percentage of wins in a raging bull market, but small money. And if you go for "selling options naked" on leverage, you're risking wipe-out.

    You can learn how to "trade your way to a 20% return" with a proper understanding of Price Technical Analysis. (Don't listen to people who claim "TA doesn't work". They are wrong. It does.)

    Ditto! 3 Billion investors on this planet would sell their soul and their first born for a guaranteed 10% return in today's markets.

    Now that they're gone and perhaps you're thinking, "wish I'd jumped on that".... Suggest you search for other deals on this model. Dell Precision T5810 Workstation was Dell's "top of the line single socket" machine when in current production. I've used Dell Workstations exclusively for ~15...

    You would be OK with the DVI-DP adapter. I used that before.

    You may want to look into that. Typically when you use a DVI-DP adapter, the max supported resolution is 1920x1200. DP is the current and future. DVI is on the way out.

    Half of NFL Player’s Salary to be Paid in Bitcoin

    HOGWASH! Player agreed to a salary denominated in $USD. He can convert his money to BTC any time he wants. The team is not obligated to do other than pay him "as agreed by contract". Should there be any complications or slippage in the conversion to BTC, that would be on the player. Team...

    Uh, no. That's "16GB". Do you mean to infer that "16GB RAM" is unusable? Mine has only 8GB.
