    Windows 7

    W7 still be good for functions like office suite and gaming. It will even be mostly OK for internet access for quite a while... maybe a few years.... but will become increasing vulnerable to compromise over time. That said... more and more companies you might do business with will be coming...

    Who is Obama supporting in 2020?

    Nobody knows anything unless they have 1st-hand knowledge. Nearly all of the political opinion in America is based upon "believing what somebody else said". That's tantamount to hearsay... which is inadmissible in court. Opinions and actions are waaaayyyy too strong by supporters who have...

    Best Advice You Could Give A Beginner?

    I suspect Price TA would work even with BTC... except for the high volatility which virtually negates risk control.

    Best Advice You Could Give A Beginner?

    Suggest spending 90% of your money on women and booze. (The rest, it's OK to squander.) Joking aside... learn "Price Technical Analysis". Best chance you have at success.

    Maga: Best HolidayRetail Season Ever

    Perhaps this spendingasm should be taken with a grain of salt. Total credit card debt is at all-time highs. Credit card interest rates are also at all-time highs. Saw another story about "Gen-somethings" carrying debt loads* of $60-$100k+! How do you get out from under that kind of burden...

    Which is worse: Losing, or opportunity lost/leaving $ on the table

    Disagree. So long as your capital is intact, you can always fight another day.

    Which is worse: Losing, or opportunity lost/leaving $ on the table

    IOW... "Cut your losses short, let your profits run". Where have we heard that before??

    Beyond Meat

    BYND chart so far (1) shows common behavior after IPO euphoria wears off, so may not be much of a concern for now... but (2) also shows the reasonable possibility of a "hyped notion actually going nowhere as an investment" and is still waaaayyy overpriced. We will know later which it is, but if...

    What information does Technical analysis tell you ?

    You can't serve 2 masters. (Just like the Pale Rider said... "You can't serve both God and mammon.") If you believe in your assessment of the fundamentals, you must ignore technical conflicts. If you believe in your TA, you must ignore fundamental conflicts. (Yeah, I too wish it were more...

    Who is Obama supporting in 2020?

    Whether or not jalapenos are an option on my deluxe smothered burrito is more interesting than whomever Odumbo supports. :)

    Creating a backup usb install for Windows 10 upgrade

    Good idea to consider "delay updates". Can go up to 1 year on "feature/new versions" and 35 days on other. (Recently did a fresh install on one machine and had to accept 1903, but on my older machine I'm still on 1809 with a 1-year delay. However, I haven't found problems yet on the 1903.)...

    Cliff Asness: Illiquidity May Not Be a Private Equity ‘Bug’

    I'm thinking it's just hindsight in a world where the Fed's dropping rates and pumping the money in an insane fashion. IOW... "Just hang in there, the Fed's got your back". Likely won't be so next cycle.

    Why we need the 2nd Amendment!!!

    The 2A is there to give us, the citizenry, the potential to defend ourselves from all forms of threat to assault, aggression and our liberty.... either from robbers, muggers, alien invaders, foreign governments or our OWN government! Bless the Founders!!

    Looking For A Trading Computer?

    So... You're suspicious of MY POST? You think my post is invalid because it didn't originate from somebody else? No sweat off of my balls. T5810s are selling all over the place on eBay and other places for $500-$700+... and I tell you where you might get an even BETTER deal for $300... and...

    Looking For A Trading Computer?

    Pardon? I've always been willing to point traders "where to fish", but I'm not going to bait their hook and cast their line for them too.

    Looking For A Trading Computer?

    I've given ET'ers a heads-up to perhaps the greatest "computer for trading" hardware bargain they've ever seen, and you call me "noob"? "You can lead a horse to water.... "

    Looking For A Trading Computer?

    I just bought 2 more of these Dell T5810s* as described in this thread. FWIW... *I'm replacing my entire W7 network of Dell T3500 workstations with Dell T5810 workstations to run W10... and you perhaps question whether "I know what I'm doing"?

    Beyond Meat

    Been seeing the commercials from BK about how their "burgers" made with this were so great and "tasted just like beef"*. Well... I was at a party over the weekend where there was "Cincinnati chili" and a variant made with the beyond meat veggie thingy for the vegan crowd. One woman commented...
