    listen to this laptop buying horror story

    I may be cheaper than you, with vehicles anyway. Up until 3 years ago when I got a 98 Ford Ranger 4X4, I drove a 1976 Chevy pickup. Almost 350 thousand miles on that thing!

    Options : zero sum game

    I think you are confusing a negative/even expectation game like roulette or a coin flip, with TRADING in the option market. The option market may be zero (before commish) sum and zero expectation if all the contracts at all the strikes are bought. But, you see, options are a derivation of...

    Cramer Supeonaed In Gradiant Probe

    OSTK ceo

    Yeah. It is kind of "strange" how Herb and Cramer and some of the other CNBC wags keep "spinning" the idea that the whole deal is just OSTK trying to squash ANY short selling and talking down of their company. They NEVER seem to mention the legality question of failure to deliver. And Bryne...

    What is Chuck LeBeau doing these days?

    As far as I can remember darn near all failed. Most suffered huge drawdowns and completely collapsed. The reason they looked curve-fit was that the prior performance shown, as indicated by the backtest, not real results, was great. Hardly any drawdown or losses. Then soon after he sold...

    What is Chuck LeBeau doing these days?

    I've read his books and he seems like a decent fellow, but most of the systems he was selling just quit working about 1999-2000. They pretty much all seemed like curve fit failures to me. I remember that a lot of the system buyers were on his boards and they universally wanted to hang him...

    thank you IB

    I wasn't trading GOOG, but I appreciate IB more and more every day. The low cost is the big thing, of course. I trade the heck out of stocks and options, and IB saves me a fortune. Now I'm looking at trading a lot of different futures and Forex products. And...I don't have to do...
