    Cloning hard drive

    If you want to do a one-time clone (rather than a constant mirroring) then I see no issue with using Acronis. The only reason you would want to remove it is if you wanted to keep physical separation (e.g. not have the backup drive located with the original) and the chance that a hardware or...

    Kudos to MMs

    Since he stated that he would not be posting his more frequent OFV trades I assumed that the 1176 FV trade was similarly taken out (at a steep loss) against a long OFV trade but he just didn't post it. If it were me I would keep the longer-term FV trades completely separate from the OFV...

    Internet Connection Failure

    Unless you are able to control both ends of a connection there is no way for a single TCP connection to use two different WAN connections, so on a per connection basis it either uses one ISP link or the other (not both). If the ISP link your brokerage connection is using goes down it has...

    Half The Country's Mortgages Are Underwater

    About a third of all homes do not have mortgage so when you talk about half of all mortgages being underwater that is not the same as saying half of all homes have no equity http://economistsoutlook.blogs.realtor.org/2011/03/22/share-of-owner-occupied-homes-without-a-mortgage/

    Internet Connection Failure

    You didn't state how you want to be notified - if the internet goes obviously having your PC sending you an email is out. There are no shortage of programs out there that can monitor your ISP connection (perhaps as simple as pinging your ISP default gateway, or perhaps actually testing...

    CME Harddrive futures hit limit up today.

    Jokes aside, check out hard drive prices on Newegg, I was looking for a vanilla Seagate 2TB drive to replace one failing in a RAID array, nothing earth shattering, easily available for under $100 all summer - and lo and behold everything 2TB is in the mid $200... I thought I had signed on to the...

    Black Monday Oct 31, 2011

    So far this has been pretty orderly selling, not a crash, remember that was the original prediction "intraday limit down moves in many stocks, or 10%" - we haven't seen anything like that (yet) Also Nitro waffled on his prediction last week so I don't see how you can give any credit no matter...

    Free Movies going mainstream. Film business is decaying in front of our eyes.

    Kudos to MMs

    It appears your model is converging to the market rather than predicting it. FV is now much higher than your position basis. At what point do you exit?

    70+ point jump in FV?

    ES Journal Archive (2011)

    Euro-crisis "resolved" just as everyone thought it would be - no surprises. GDP and Jobless claims also came in right at consensus. So what happens next?

    Steve Jobs "60 Minutes" Interview

    The quote I linked to earlier (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-20124391/steve-jobs-revelations-from-a-tech-giant/?tag=contentMain;contentBody) is from the writer Steve Jobs asked to write his biography (Walter Isaacson). Isaacson did over 40 interviews with Jobs. So I think its fair...

    Steve Jobs "60 Minutes" Interview

    Since he was hired before there were stock options (or even a company called Apple) I guess the answer is no. Basic decency says you take care of people who stuck with you in the beginning when there was nothing. Not to mention that Jobs was supposedly his "friend":
