    EBAY -- Reasons To Be Cautious About It Future

    You're just not doing your homework on the seller. I've made over 200 transactions on ebay and have NEVER lost any money. One time I didn't receive my item, and ebay (paypal) refunded my money almost immediatly.

    EBAY -- Reasons To Be Cautious About It Future

    no offense, but 1000 transactions is petty to ebay. The bottom line is that the consumer/buyer can find a significantly better deal on ebay than anywhere else. Sellers are a dime a dozen. The buyer is what drives the company.

    Anybody experience with MATLAB ?

    You don't have to be a quant to use matlab. matlab is simply a programming language that enables you to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran. It is by far my favorite language!

    "sequentially" trading different systems

    Forex Scams Are Out of Control

    Lack of regulation. Even though the SEC, NFA, & CFTC are generally worthless, they usually provide enough intimidation to run the scam artist in to the forex markets!
