Two thoughts (1) Try booting into safe mode in XP (2) If the machine is networked and you have remote desktop enabled then using remote desktop (RDP) to connect to it remotely and have a look around My laptop has an external/internal display function key on the keyboard but it always...

Pulling your credit report is not the same as using information in your credit report to verify your identity IMO. It doesnt count as a credit inquiry (e.g. your FICO score is not impacted, like applying for credit would) nor are they looking at your credit history to make the decision about...

Just FYI, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) you can simply tell a collection agency to stop calling you and they must comply: http://www.creditinfocenter.com/rebuild/creditorharassment.shtml To the OP: I monitor my credit reports very closely and have never seen any hard...

If you have a lot of configuration settings that took some time to get them "just right" and you would like to be able to recover from a drive failure quickly, rather than having to reinstall the OS, all apps and all settings manually then an image backup could be useful.

Are there any other ET posters who have HF's open to the public?

Very impressive return for one month, and it appears that's net mgmt & performance fees.

Having a philosophical discussion about zero-sum (e.g. poker is zero-sum from a cash basis but if you factor in "entertainment" then its positive sum) is pointless because you can't quantify enjoyment. That that even has to be said (we are talking about money/wealth) in this thread is sad and...

You have failed to define the scope of your game. If the scope includes 3 individuals then there is insufficient information to answer the zero-sum question but I my guess would be no, it was not zero-sum. If you are asking only about the futures contracts described above then it was clearly...

What you are describing isnt a style or an approach, its a perfect scenario. If it were possible to do what you are stating consistently then you would quickly be wealthy beyond imagination. You have left out the most important detail, how you determine that you have hit the high or low or...

It ain't over until the fat lady sings.

A new day and this thread continues. The farmer and Archer Daniels are not the futures market. They are participants in the futures market. If you cannot distinguish between these two facts you will never grasp the concept that the future market is zero sum. Participants in the...

You agreed that poker games are zero-sum. Poker games help the economy (create a demand for poker chips to be produced). You cannot change the definition of zero-sum to support your position, the definition of zero-sum does not preclude it from having beneficial external results. Using...

Your conclusion does not follow from your proposition. First you say that the futures market is beneficial (agreed), then you say it generates wealth (false). The future market helps the economy generate wealth, it does not generate any wealth in and of itself.

They are "allowed" to exist because of the reasons you stated, they are very useful for hedging. That doesnt change that for every dollar gained in futures trading that someone else has lost a dollar on their futures trading. You seem to be hung-up that because futures is zero-sum its a bad...

Wow, I can't even begin to comprehend how you can believe that. You are talking about the stock market and wealth, not money, right? After talking a dozen or so posts to convince someone that the futures market is zero-sum (when the CBOT web site clearly says that it is) I don't think I have...

No one has said they consider the futures market is disconnected from the economy, they are saying for the purposes of discussing whether the futures market is zero-sum, you cannot consider things outside of the futures market. You apparently want to discuss whether the total economy is...

No one is saying that someone couldnt have their gains or losses in futures offset somewhere else but those gains and losses are not part of the futures market.

whitster, that is the perfect analogy. I'm sure someone is going to say something like, "What if one of the poker players finds an extra $20 in his pocket he had forgotten about?" or "what if someone wins the lottery while they are sitting at the poker table?" .... shesssh
