    Monitor Resolution - 1680x1050 or 1920x1080?

    very good rebuttal, but did you trade for a living, which is what the person who started this thread does, when he asked these questions... so, from that perspective, the traders that I have trained and saw succeed just like I did and do, agree with the free lesson that I shared...

    Sylvain Rainer gets booted of CNBC for punching Cramer in the balls...

    as fine as she is, I lost a lot of respect for her too today, and CNBC wonders why Elitetrader(s) are NOT their fans... its for things like these... I couldn't believe they insulted their guest that they invited on... and that point about Crud-low, right to the point!

    With 1 in 5 Americans out of work, Obama issues over a million green cards

    it would be appropriate to move this to the political threads... these claims and lopsided reporting are not economics related... it would be more acceptable if you presented a balanced view, and what the prior administrations did, instead of highlighting whatever pet peeve you have...
