I just downloaded the latest version 3.8.7C today, and the system hangs whenever i try to change the properties of the chart. Anyone has experienced similar problem, or has a solution to fix it?

ShoeShineBoy: Perhaps you can help me. I saw things before I became a Christian, and I saw things after I became a Chrisitan. I haven't seen a thing for a long time. Now I don't always believe what I have seen and what I have heard. Sometimes we see and hear things that our minds want us...

That is the correct figure. Roughly 30% of the earnings came from investment gain last year (i.e. from stock holdings and real estate). I expect more weighting will come from investment earnings. In this environment there is no incentive for companies to earn from normal operation...

It is the accounting rule for not only China public companies, but Hong Kong as well. Companies could start using this accounting rule at 2005, and was fully enforced at 2006, i believe. (I have to confess that I don't actually know the exact date for enforcement) The same rule will come to...

LOL. We are allowed to tell fairy tales in kindergarden when the kids don't know they are fictions. However, we are not allowed to tell bible stories in middle or high schools when they understand that those bible stories have not been verified by science. Should we allow teaching bible in...

I agree. I like to see independent research universities to perform some scientific experiments to verify those hypothesis. It can never be verified, but at least we can have a hypothesis with some statistical confidence.

Bible should be best taught at school by non-believers.

Most kids don't know fairy stories are fiction at their ages. Should we enforce teachers at preschools or kindergardens to tell the kids that those are fiction whenever they begin to tell a story?

You are right. Faith-based belief has no basis in science. Might we teach non-science in school? If we can talk about fair tales and Harry Porter in school, why can't wee talk about bible stories in school? I came from a place that we can teach Bible at school and that place has...

I think james_bond has a very good point here. How do you verify supernatural? I am a Christian, but Supernature or God is really a weak argument for something we can't explain today imo.

You have an edge when there is a statistical confidence that you will beat the market. Edge = A + B + C + .... A, B or C is not an edge. A+B+C is not an edge. The proper combination of all the ingredients create an edge for yourself. When a trader finds out that he can consistently...

No.

Too bad that you can't join JBO with your IRA money.

Just like the market, it is not predictable. Don't worry. Surprise will come at the "right" time.

I have the same question. For example, RUT Dec 640 Put was priced at around 4.00 last Friday, and now priced at 3.25. I thought the weekend decay was already price in last Friday afternoon. Is VIX or IV in general higher at expiration week? Thanks for the info.

Smart move. There is a big difference in margin requirement, so no brokers will accept this synthetic theory. For example tos will allow you to trade naked call, or covered put, but you will have different margin requirement under reg-T (not pm). I believe most people will do a lot...

Thank you for posting the updated info. I apologize for passing the old info. I was told by my professor 10 years ago when he talked about asset-backed loan.

Yes. BTW you don't have to leave california. You can buy another home at lower price, or buy back your own home at "foreclosure". You don't have any obligation to drop your keys. This is our financial system. LOL. I like to add one point. I don't live in California. I "believe" it...

I have no problem with IB increasing margin. However, imo if they really have a plan to reduce the risk, they should send the schedule in advance, not one hour before they implemented the new rule. Can you trust a brokerage firm who change the margin rule any time they "feel" they like it...
