You have to pay up for the 1920x1200 24" panels. I agree that whoever decided 1920x1080 was a reasonable monitor size should be savagely beaten.

Why do people keep asking this question? Unless you are doing heavy backtesting research any computer built in the last 3 years (maybe 5) is overkill for any sort of real time trading. Unless you're using the crappiest software ever written you'll max out your bandwidth long before you max...

While I don't think Neke's an amateur, losing 28% of your account in one trade is 100% amateur move. I love the thread, but I still think Neke makes a ton more cash going for 410k->820k and skips posting about it.

If you can do this in less than 3 yrs you have crappy skills.

It's all about education/skills. This is a bit of simplification, but the chunk on food stamps are less productive than the Indians/Chinese so there's no jobs for them even at minimum wage (though if the Yuan was where it should be this would be less of a problem.) They are unfortunately...

I'm sure your joking, but he's right on. I think Neke's big problem this year is that he's swinging for $3.5 million even though his edge isn't good enough to make the 70k/week you need to pull that off. His profit factor must be less than 1.05 which is really terrible (though atleast it's >...

There's really a language that represents 9:35 as the integer 93500? Ouch.

First rule of black box trading: No one sells a working system. In order to prove that it works you basically have to give it away so no seller will sell a proven system and no buyer should buy an unproven system (though plenty of morons line up to buy wizetrade and the like).

Here's why you're getting no respect: While the last 2 years have some correlation with 73/74, it's primarily been compared to 1930/31 which was way worse. You could find 500 different metrics that "haven't been this bad since 1930" if you tried. The fact that you've found one that hasn't...

It's a blatant copy of the Google offices. Whether or not facebook can monetize it's traffic is an open question, but if laid back offices were a real problem, Google wouldn't be making $1B/quarter.

If we were capitalists C would have been dead 12-18 months ago. After the low interest rates, the $50B loan from the gov't, the lifting of mark to market, and all the Fed loan programs the sham stress tests they still needed another $10B. Rest assured they'll be back for more. I can...

It's a bad quote of some sort and if there was a trade it will surely be broken. If ORCL was down 50%, it would be the top story on most financial news sites (unless it was down because of some huge disaster in which case that would be the big story.)

There's no contact info for a guy who will send you $100k checks either. Such systems exist, but why would anyone tell you about them? If someone wanted to totally destroy a system and get nothing for it, they'd fully document it and put in on elitetrader.

It was about 1000 years ago. Then someone figured out you could hit those bids, put 10k on the offer and chase the stock down (surprising the hell out of the guy with the "fake" bid who frantically pissed his pants while hitting bids.) After that someone figured out you could try to get hit...

It's not going to 0, but it is probably going to 5.75.

It probably is a shorting rally, but not yet. The last suckers ralley lasted form Nov 20th to Jan 5th? This will go atleast 2-3 weeks and could go for 8-10. I concur with everyone else that there's no way this is the absolute bottom.

go to the power settings and tell it never to turn off hard disks. This will use up your battery quicker, but you won't occasionally have to wait 15 seconds for the hard disk to spin up.

The DOW idiots have done terribly in replacing component companies in the last 10 years. Their biggest mistake was bringing in MSFT and INTC and kicking out 2 industrial companies in about '99 which cost the index a good number of points (maybe 500-700?.) CSCO is a possibility, but I agree...

Hail Mary pass with 1:30 to go in the 4th. Too bad they're down by 35. Who's going to back this guarantee? Anyone other than US Gov't is useless and even they aren't anyone you can depend on anymore.

I'd love to seem him blownup (all talk, simplistic naive strategies) but your links don't lead to anything.
