    Bank withdrawals & Cash hoarding

    Being from Wilmington, DE, I have heard many stories about the DuPont family and how they managed the Great "D". One of the brothers, having the foresight, raised alot of cash before the Crash. In the following years, the cash was used to help DuPont family members survive while holding onto...

    oil up 25 dollars per barrel and a trillion taxpayer dollars for 88 S & P points

    Every once in awhile I play some XBOX with my young son. We are currently deep into The Force Unleashed, a new Lucas Arts title. The character has a force power energy bar, which gets zapped as you apply a Jedi or Sith force power. It will get drained down to (zero) and the after a short time...

    Regarding credit scores... ... given such a large body of folks will have compromised credit, they may become a special "class" where their credit history will not be allowed to carry the typical weight in the credit worthiness decision making process. Has anyone seen a limit to the range...

    WOW!!! The biggest news in housing market and nobody on ET notices...

    What happens to the neighbor of your example bailed out home owner? He also bought one of the $300k houses, but he put down 20%. However, with the current market value of $150k on his property, as well as being down $150k in over all equity, what does this home owner think or do after he...

    Mac Compatibility

    I found a wide range of software, including DTN data feed and IB have worked flawlessly under OSX 10.4.x and Parallels 3.0. I have yet to get around to VMware Fusion testing since Parallels worked so well. Software that has worked well: Ninja Trader Button Trader QuoteTracker Sierra...

    econimical dual monitor video cards

    If anyone is interested, I have a Matrox G2+/QUAD -PL/TVN video card I never got around to using. This card supports (4) monitors. I also think it has either a TV tuner or can display a TV signal on a monitor. I have all of the cables, but no manual or software, which can still be found...

    Buying a new monitor (suggestions please)

    If you have the budget, the Dell 24" monitors (2407) are very easy on the eyes. I work with a 2 screen setup all day long (editing video) and it's a great setup. One nice features, shared by some other Dell monitors, the 24" has numerous inputs including composite & S-video so you can...

    Woodies CCI

    Thanks I see what you mean. A couple of follow up questions. Have you compared the same period of either chart, with a tighter time frame such as 10-50 tick chart? I ask because it's possible a 5 minute chart lacks the resolution to allow price movement to exhibit the price dropping you...

    Woodies CCI

    Perhaps you could comment on the charts Larry posted on p. 40, regarding how they are showing a trend change ahead of the actual move in price. I just don't see it. Is it the addition of the black circles around the red/green dots on the lower indicator? Maybe you could also comment on what...

    Woodies CCI

    I found the chart very interesting. I might add, a similar extended trend line can exist on the price chart, allowing you to see where the price is moving in reference to a multiple day average. One thing I am noticing about trying to judge moving averages over multiple days... ... at...

    Woodies CCI

    I 2nd nkhoi's comments... IMHO, some of the problems with woodies CCI: 1) It is relatively late at showing a trend change as compared to watching price move around something like a T-3 adaptive moving average. 2) I find it too distracting to try to watch price and any woodies CCI cue...

    Big Screen vs Multi Screen

    Bingo.... Do you think the Acer looks a little soft? I use (2) of the Dell 24" monitors on a video production work station, and they are very sharp and easy to watch all day. I was checking out the monitor selection at my local CompuUSA and the Acer seemed to be a little softer, but I...

    Big Screen vs Multi Screen

    I might note Dell is currently running some monitor pricing discounts. The 2407wfp at $569 shipped is an awesome deal. This is an awesome monitor if you can live with the 1900x1200 display size. I am seriously considering one or two of their new 3007wfp-HC 30" monitors for use on my Mac...

    Next New product from Apple?

    I expect the next big release from Apple to be faster chip sets for their laptops and MacPro computers. The beginning of the new year was the time frame Intel might have the next generation ready for production. We might see a quad core MacBook Pro laptop as well as a Mac Pro which pushes...

    What`s your biggest tradeing blunder?

    My biggest mistake was letting a mutual fund(s) handle my $$$ after I got burned out during the dot.com bubble. I've lost $$$ daytrading, but only a fraction of what those professional MMs cost me. I' got back into trading about 6 months ago, and I have been impressed with the new selection...
