    Report estimates 10K businesses left California over eight years

    Bird Rock is pretty cool. Only one decent bar in that vicinity though. Can't remember the name of it. I agree about Downtown LJ being a tourist trap, but hey, I'm from Orlando so I'm used to tourist traps everywhere :-) Santa Barbara - very, very slow place to me with loads of older tourists...

    Report estimates 10K businesses left California over eight years

    I love to visit California but the tax situation there is enough to make me feel super comfortable right here in no-state-income-tax Florida. But if money was no object, I'd probably pack my bags for La Jolla, CA and never look back.

    ET Chat has lost it's luster

    Yeah, but every chat is like that. Just because a person is logged into the chat doesn't mean he's staring at it nonstop. He could be looking at charts, trading, eating lunch, have other browser windows open, etc.

    ET Chat has lost it's luster

    The count is accurate when I look at it. It says 9 and I count 9 people in the list.

    ET Chat has lost it's luster

    Keeping a chat alive is always a challenge. People say they want it so I put it up. People show up and use it. Then they ask for a separate room for serious discussion. So I do that too. Then they ask for other features. So I implement them. Then everybody stops using it. :banghead:

    broker reviews

    They were taken down about 2 years ago. Facilitating those reviews was the biggest pain in the ass for me. Not a week went by that I didn't get a letter from some attorney demanding the removal of negative reviews about his client.

    Trading: Exhausting!!

    So what was the nature of the coding work that you did before? And have you been able to successfully apply your computer science background to your trading activities? (i.e. automation).

    Trading: Exhausting!!

    Nice post and I completely agree. The mental drain is pretty extreme when you're firing on all cylinders. But at least trading doesn't create the kind of exhaustion you'd feel if you were on the back of a shovel all day. That's a whole other level. :vomit:

    Is a negative comment regarding a sponsor not allowed?

    By fiddling with words, I just meant that in certain cases we may need to remove any references to a specific post or user, since that user's post may no longer exist. We have no interest in re-writing your post or changing it's meaning in any way. End of story.

    Is a negative comment regarding a sponsor not allowed?

    We already have that function in place. In fact, we even have a version control for every post so we can see exactly what was edited from the original post, and who made that edit (original poster, moderator, etc.). It's just not a publicly accessible feature for all to see.

    "You must work hard, be innovative, and don't believe the hype that what you're dreaming to accomplish is impossible. Every day you must strive to push, learn and adapt. And when you do that for 20 years with a great focus, you can accomplish pretty much anything. But for sure, it's not easy...

    Movie Theaters closing like mad - Hollywood in trouble?

    I can't imagine why anyone would want to go to a movie theater these days. The whole concept is so antiquated. This is the age of endless media streaming right into your home or mobile device. And the best part is that I can have it all without some jackass crunching on popcorn or talking on his...

    Why hosting right wing extremism and those who spread hate on a daily basis?

    Thank you for the backup, especially in light of the heart-felt eulogy I submitted recently on your behalf. :D

    Is a negative comment regarding a sponsor not allowed?

    So just to summarize, you can post a negative experience about a company's product or service, but if your posts get disputed by the company that you are complaining about, then the thread will get removed from public view until you identify yourself and the issues get verified and sorted out...
