waggie - wasn't suggesting that they were majoring in Anthro or English and I understand your thought about engineering or other technical majors perhaps wanting to maximize their time at the school they'll graduate from. But there's still a question of whether it's absolutely essential...

In a completely egalatarian word, I'd agree with you. And presumably you're correct that applications didn't surge - but the supply side definitely faltered. There's not an unlimited amount of money to do everything SO, if they don't have the money to keep subsidizing all these students...

fxtrading makes a good point. You're thinking in terms of conventional monitor-based display technology not VR. In VR, there's nothing as conventional as multiple monitors. The headset gives you a viewport onto a continuous (up to 360 degree by 360 degree) VR landscape and the software that...

Except that if you don't have the money (thank you Gray Davis, et al), you either cut expenditures or raise taxes. Is there a third alternative?

I only mentioned Stanford as another example. The average GPA overall for incoming freshman at UCB is 3.76 - while the average GPA of those students rejected was only 3.46. And an SAT of 1330 isn't a particular high target so the combination of 3.46 GPA and 1330 SAT doesn't seem super...

In a sense, they did NOT have the money - the $5858 is a whole lot less than it ACTUALLY costs to attend UCB - out of state students pay over $20K just in tuition. For residents, state taxes are used to provide a subsidy. If they're forced to cut back, it's because the state doesn't have the...

Only that every case of Elliott Waves I've ever seen (regardless of program) have only worked in hindsight.

With California resident tuition subsidies (paid out of state taxes) now hitting over $14,000 per year per student at Berkeley ($5,858 for residents vs. $20,068 for out of state) - they have to either cut costs and reduce the # of subsidies or drastically reduce the size of the subsidy for...

It was a little joke (very little perhaps). But if he was Trader Vic instead of TraderBrad, he should be good for a Mai Tai at least. :)

Nana Trader - There are no rules that require a broker to take anyone as a client. They CAN refuse you simply because you're Iranian based on any reasons they may have. They might think that if they were forced to go after you for financial reimbursement in the case you busted out your...

Interesting question - a quick comment, the term Commodity Trading Advisor carries specific legal and regulatory mandates and exposure. Unless someone is managing anothers money, they're not going to want to assume that title with all of its implications and complications. So even if someone...

Could be an inability of Excel on your machine to process the message pump that's involved in feeding it DDE messages efficiently. Needless to say, the Excel environment wasn't designed for realtime processing.

spect8or - there must be a communication fault here. Let me restate as clearly as possible: FBI stats of actual domestic abuse occuring in 25-35% of American households and on average a woman being beaten every 15 seconds and some 4-5,000 women dying each year of their beatings. That's...

Joke - right??

Sounds like the history of the British Royal Family and most of Appalachia :)

You can look the specifics up on the CBOE website. Example: QUR is the option prefix for TASR options, May puts have a month code of Q, and the 100 strike has a code of T - so the TASR May 100 puts have a symbol of QURQT

Charts of a given option contract aren't usually very useful and generally only present a reasonable chart if it's a heavily traded contract. If you look at a contract that only trades 1000 a day, the chart's going to look pretty sparse and useless. But if you're so inclined, enter the symbol...

You forgot that she also wants to write her check for $50 more than the $18.07 and get it back in cash, so she and the cashier enter into a further multi-minute discussion of whether she should take two $20 and a $10 or whether she'd like five $10s. I'm still at a loss for why any grocery is...

Definitely appreciate your points and frustrations with liberals who seem to live on another plane of existence who don't understand that we've at least in part been paying over the last few years for the ignorance of their cherished Clinton era. However, some of your comment were starting to...

Instead of a stream of ridicule immediately right now on just two of his calls, let him post his calls for 3-5 days - and THEN take your shots. At this point he's still got the argument that he made a couple of bad calls and no one's perfect. Give him more rope - a short rope only chokes, a...
