The reason you need integrity in the system is to prevent sweatshop scenarios that come from anti-competitive monopolies, price fixing, bribes of public officials, no pay equity, sexual harassment issues, etc. It also causes all participants (both corporate and individual) in the system to...

I'm also a Republican, and although it pains me to admit it, I have to agree with the points here. The assumptions that lie at the foundation of our U.S. Republic (yes, a Republic, not a true democracy) depend on an EDUCATED, MORAL, and INVOLVED CITIZENRY to function effectively. All of...

I believe it was established in this forum a while back that Go Gecko has stunning similarities to WizeTrade, as in the players are the same, only the company name is different..... The main difference is that Go Gecko costs a lot more, and has more "mystique" about it. Maybe they are...

I think there is a definite difference between the number of POSTERS that are morons or people full of BS, and the number of POSTS that are moronic or full of BS. I would estimate that no more than 50% of the POSTERS are full of BS or morons, but definitely nearly 80% of the POSTS themselves...

I agree wholeheartedly with this last assertion. I have been a software engineer for 20+ years, and it is still amazing to me the number of people that get overly emotional, "proselytizing" attitudes about their particular language of preference. For some reason, historically these have...

If you are considering medicine mainly for the money, forget it now. The dedication required to be a quality physician will need to come from a burning desire to serve people in the medical field, a willingness to go the extra mile and do the best for the patient regardless of monetary...

Having both owned a home around Dallas/Ft. Worth, plus having extended family members who currently own a 3000+ sq. ft. home in the in the suburbs north of Dallas, and also currently renting a small apartment ( due to a personal divorce situation, not permanent decision ), I feel I can add a few...

You're right... Maybe I should have paid for the "Mentoring Program" or "Boot Camp" seminar to make sure I'm using it right. Please help me quit losing all my money buying Wizetrade stuff... :eek:

Gee, let me count the ways I love Wizetrade 0. I love the excitement generated at seminars full of shills and run by ex-cons who have to rename the companies every couple of years to avoid prosecution. 1. I really love paying $4K to buy a supposedly refundable overpriced piece of...

ISE - very liquid - often fills between Bid/Ask, sometimes even fills orders buying @ Bid or Selling @ Ask. Fast cancels, cancel/replaces. BOX - second to ISE - offers penny executions (through IB), just as good as ISE for liquid options - slightly worse for illiquid ones. Fast cancels...

IB is for TRADERs, not INVESTORs. If you are so detached from your current positions that you require an EMail to tell you that something is down 15%, then you are obviously not a short term trader, but some kind of buy-and-holder or long term investor. Also, how much of a "minor...

Then the thread is hijacked by spammers, or the "self-important" stalkers who seem to comment on every single thread to increase their posting count, etc. Slowly, the thread peters out and dies a death of disinterest....

K&R stands for Kernighan and Ritchie, the authors. The book is considered the "Bible" for C language study for most colleges and is the usual first text for students learning C...

Regarding programmers fixing latency: The risk/reward for the programmer is totally wrong to expect any kind of optimal solution. Usually there are only a handful of people who even complain about the latency issue unless it is REALLY BAD, and most of those are complaining about things...

How about none of the above. GM is likely to go bankrupt, and GOOG is probably overvalued long term. You would probably do better in cash getting a small interest rate return....

Seems like kind of a long-shot. Christmas seasonality is not conducive to crashing. The only dumber prediction than that would be a crash across Thanksgiving. Much more likely would be a 4-8% drop in January 2006.

I am a Christian and struggled with this question early on in my faith walk. Eventually, I concluded that trading/investing is completely honorable, providing somebody isn't cheating (ie insider trading) or stealing, or defrauding somebody by their actions. I would also be against...

I am currently still working as a software engineer (19 years and counting) and trading part-time, although considering moving towards more trading over time, and possibly real estate investing or other pursuits as well. Reasons engineers are attracted to trading: The main reason...

A large overlooked factor in this discussion is the risk you take by doing the "expected thing" of getting some job in a "normal career", working your way up, etc. One risk is that your "career" position may be eliminated, outsourced, laid off due to market changes, become a lot less...

From that previous Microsoft product comparison link.... It looks like the biggest differences are the following: 1. Professional has compiler support for 64 bit platforms, Standard Edition does not. 2. Professional Integrates with SQL Server 2005, Standard Edition does not. 3...
