Only is is.

Warren is just a simple country boy. To make a phone call... he has to walk 10 miles to the General Store.

Yes... numbers like "80" mean absolutely nothing... And men who babble on about such... Are amateurs. Let me get this straight. The Japanese and Chinese have shipped a zillion dolllars worth of goods to America... In return for pretty paper that the Fed had printed. And America is...

I don't mean to badger you... But something is wrong with this picture. But if two $50 dual head cards work so great to create a quad desktop... There would be NO MARKET for $400 quad cards that do the same thing.

"Flexible device supports both dual-monitor configurations at a maximum resolution of up to 3840 x 1200 (2x 1920x1200)1 and triple-monitor configurations with a maximum resolution of up to 3840 x 1024 (3x 1280x1024)1 with digital or analog" Incredibly out-dated. Each of my trading...

What a crazy post... "talent doesn't matter". And most Pro Traders don't need "balls"... They just grind out money day after day with near ZERO stress... Because they have the experience and infrastructure... To wear down most of the other players in a Zero Sum Game. You've read too...

It was always biased UP... Because shorting was tough due to "uptick rule". Since August 1st... It's just as easy to short as sell long... So there is MORE SHORTING... And shorting into downticks... Just more downticks overall. Shorting has always been about half my trading... And my...

I trade with 3 PCs... and 5 monitors. After a quick Google... Configuring 2 dual head cards seems unusual. How does Windows view this? How are the 4 monitors rendered as one desktop?

Quad cores only show significant improvement in VERY multi-threaded apps... Such as very complex games and multi-media. Trading apps are not intensive at all... Unless you have coded custom real-time tick processing apps. Any improvement is probably an illusion.

Beyond 2 monitors you need: (1) Either a quad video card... Which will also include software. This is the way to go for graphic intensive applications. Or (2) Something like MaxiVista... Where you use old PCs on a network... To support almost unlimited monitors...

IB resets the clock every month... So you pay less towards the end of the month. So what. How is this an issue? If you trade every day... it makes no difference... All that matters is your total monthly charge.

Evolve or die... It applies to every business in the world. If you are standing still... Then you are actually losing ground fast.

This is the kind of paranoia one sees in young traders... That have some early success... And then worry that their methodology will be ripped off. I worried about this for a few years. (1) Unless you are doing something ** very unusual **... Or are in a prop shop environment... No...

This post is incomprehensible. You cannot possibly be successful at either poker or trading... Just like 95% of the desperados that hang out here.

This is the most ludicrous line I have read on ET... And that is saying a lot. You win the "Pathological Whore Spammer Who Will Do ANYTHING For Money" Award... For Tuesday, September 4, 2007.

The IB Security Device (platinum version)... Was designed by people with no understanding of the mathematics involved. An alpha-numeric code (if you leave out the letters "O" and "I" to avoid confusion)... Has 10 + 24 = 34 different characters... And 34!/(8! x 26!) unique combinations =...

I stopped buying anything Dell 3 years ago... And have my PCs custom built locally. I love it... Dell is now out of my life. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has also had enough... And filed suit for FRAUD against Dell: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1040_22-6184057.html May...

And something no one even noticed... The IB Security Device is 6-7 year old technology at least. My clearing firm introduced these... And I had one... right after 9/11. Trading firms MUST be given a choice of security options that are right for their firms... NOT threatened with all...

This is a truly HEARTLESS post. I'm sure IB has a job for you in Tech Support. I have had at least 5 friends is wheelchairs, etc over the last few years... For whom it would be completely impossible to use any of these IB devices. Anyone sick or disabled would have years to develop...

It's very hard to find info or code that one can have confidence in. That's why I'm convinced that many of the Hedge Fund calculations out there... Are either done erroneously or deliberately fudged. There's really no law against it... Unless the numbers are Audited by a reputable US firm.
