    New Tower Components

    Jperl, Thanks. I think that I will still go with win2k, since things you listed really don't bother me much except taking too much time boot it up (this is why I'm still using win98 at home). Additionally, if I buy home edition of XP, it would be an upgrade version? If so, I would have to...

    New Tower Components

    Thanks for your suggestion. I originally was going to try out single head first then order quad head card. I actually changed my mind last night after looking into dual head card. I'm glad I did what you suggested, I ordered a g450 dual 32mb through compuvest for $69.75. I'm hoping that it can...

    Thanks all for suggestions and the video link. Heatsink comes with CPU, so I'll use whatever paste comes with it since that is AMD recommended. I've messed a little with Duron CPU installation before, just never built a computer. I like to put a single monitor video card first so I know that...

    Comission and Bullet Rates

    When I was going to trade with Bright, it was $3 per 100 share. My guess is it still is the rate.

    I can't figure out a move (stock) is for real or a fake. Do you think play poker help with this? If I only have time to read one book about playing poker, which book would you recommend? Thanks.

    Bright Desk Fees?

    Don, in a separate thread that I asked you to confirm that if that $1K required training fee goes to your own pocket (instead of Bright). I'm sure that you are going to read this, so I want to ask you again. Does the required training (if you want to trade with Bright) fee of $1K go to your...

    I checked out this MB. It says FSB supports only 100/133/166. I thought now most MBs supports at least 266. Am I missing something?

    New Tower Components

    Questions, If FSB is 266 then there is no need to buy PC2700 memory? Is onboard sound and modem good or bad? Thanks for help.

    the fundamental risk/reward question

    As I remember, it is considered stylized fact in academic that returns are positively autocorrelated in short time frames (I believe this means <= 10 min) while it is negatively autocorrelated in longer time frames (>= 30 min), and this does not limit to stock market.

    the fundamental risk/reward question

    While the results are the same, if I understand correctly, actually you are stating the solution to another problem, which is E = Sum{e(i) } where e(i) is independent from each other with outcome of either +1 or –1 of equal probability Kay's problem is a restricted version of above, with...

    the fundamental risk/reward question

    your explanation is very intuitive. But I remembered that Livermmore (spelling) said from his book that during old times brokers used this trick to make money. So I just did some algebra for fun. Assume you have infinite time horizon (infinite movements allowed as long as neither stop nor...
