    I have a very loud alert I can set on my trading software that I can hear if I am in the house. The same software can also send an SMS message to my cell phone. Not a problem.

    What happened to EUR future at 8:38pm?

    Interesting, I just spent the last 10 minutes debugging my charting software and thought it was a data-fart... I should add a little more code to look for Bids or Asks way outside of trading range.... It would probably be busted correct? There had to be more orders within that distance.....

    what happened to marketsurfer--surf fest?

    Poor surf had over 14,000 ET posts over years without a single profitable month. After being banned last year he continued to short the market at every small bounce. Someday, the market will actually sell off, but by that time surf will be living out of a cardboard box under a bridge...

    The case against college.

    Excellent points SM. Degrees, in this society, are a distinguishing trait of a highly motivated individual who is well socialized and capable of dealing with the day to day bullshit within society. Are degrees necessary for trading? Nope, not at all. No more than being well funded, stable...

    The case against college.

    You are so wrong. All of the profits from University of Phoenix go back to investors via Apollo Group. The instructors and most employees are paid almost minimum wage (instructors probably less as they are paid by the course and not by the hour). To think their model is based on anything...

    There is now a concerted message campaing coming from the WH on Spring unemployment.

    True. Duck and Cover time. Instead of starting another business in 2010 I will move funds around to take advantage of opportunities, get my Instrument Pilot rating current, and travel. All at great rates. May as well spend before it is taxed or inflated away; but spend slowly and maximize my...

    There is now a concerted message campaing coming from the WH on Spring unemployment.

    Obama in the State of the Union will kill the ObamaCare bill and call for a NEW 'bi-partisan' effort to craft a united health care bill before the end of 2010. He will throw all of the Dems who went to bat for him under the bus. He will blame Pelosi and Reed for the poor effort... As far as...

    Global warming hoax fools millions

    I am not obliged to prove anything. Reading some of the email and looking at some of the crap software code would be enough evidence for anyone looking for the truth. AGW is a fraud and a hoax designed to enrich a few individuals and organizations. I am not trying to get funding with...
