    Apple's priciest Mac Pro costs $52,599

    4 locations in the same house. Also have 10 big screen TVs... what can I say? (10 doesn't seem extreme... I know a guy with 14.)

    Today, 12/12, is contract rollover date... in case you weren't paying attention like me

    Rollover date is when the new contract becomes the "front month" for trading. The old contract to expire later.

    Apple's priciest Mac Pro costs $52,599

    1. Bought on eBay. E5-1620 V3 CPU, 256GB SSD, NVS 310 video card. Certified refurbished, 1-yr hardware warranty. Just right for trading. 2. Old workstations? They are Dell T3500s. Dell didn't produce W10 drivers for this model, though I hear you can get W10 onto them if you start with...

    Do we have an issue with Rithmic today?

    My Rithmic seems OK. Perhaps your issues are with the net or your ISP.

    Today, 12/12, is contract rollover date... in case you weren't paying attention like me

    Unless you're trading big size, doesn't really matter whether you trade the expiring or the new for a few days as players make the transition.

    "Trade Deal" Manipulation....

    I suspect neither Trump nor Xi really want a deal at this time. Manipulating markets and sentiment are too valuable to conclude the "deal is close" thingy... rather better to keep everybody on a string until the 2020 election, is my guess.

    "Trade Deal" Manipulation....

    That's just about what has happened. I wonder if... when there is finally a deal announced... the markets have a "crescendo pop" and that marks "the top"?

    Before his death, legendary Fed chief Paul Volcker issued one last warning to the US

    Not a "one-way street". Debasing your currency may have a temporary advantage for exports and tourism, but is ruinous in the long run. Trump is quite "greedy and near-sighted" to a fault on all of this. Lemme ask... would you rather YOUR money have more or less purchasing power?

    "Trade Deal" Manipulation....

    While true about bull markets discounting/deflecting bad news... wasn't exactly my point.

    Perfect for the guy with the $1MM wrist watch! (No slave to image here, I just bought a refurb trading computer for $239.)

    Before his death, legendary Fed chief Paul Volcker issued one last warning to the US

    Volker was the last Fed Chairman that I thought was worth more than "two dead flies".

    "Trade Deal" Manipulation....

    Have you noticed that when something potentially negative about trade is mentioned, the markets now basically deflect and ignore that "news", but when a positive is mentioned the market pops to the upside? Sounds like a great market manipulation! (Sort of like earnings... companies...

    New York’s super-rich migrating south for better value

    Should have moved long ago. Perhaps it took them this long to figure out that the government regards the people as mere "tax donkeys".

    When and how to sell?

    If your play is based upon fundamentals, you sell when the fundamental story changes in a negative way for your position. If you play is technical, there are 2 logical places to sell. #1, aggressively... "exhaustion" in the move, and #2, defensively... deterioration in the price pattern such...
