    Capital Gains Rate to 28%?

    Well, of course it will affect the blended tax rate for futures. Section 1256 calls for 60% of the gain to be taxed at capital gains rates, whatever they are at the time. I believe the 2003 Tax Act expires 12/31/2010.

    Capital Gains Rate to 28%?

    As part of his "Tax Fairness for the Middle Class" plan, Barack Obama is in favor of nearly doubling the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to 28 percent. Leaving the fairness issue aside for a moment—as well as the impact of higher taxes on economic growth—the Obama plan could also be...

    Router recommendations?

    I currently use Linksys on two separate wired cable connections no problems. Easy to set-up. I also use USRobotics and Dlink for wireless connections. Again, both easy to install and use. As far as security, just make sure you activate the encryption feature (means using an ASCII or...

    Check out this commodity site I created!

    Well, please excuse me for being cynical, but did you really create this site to help your trading, or did you create to try and derive advertising revenue from it? If its the former, then I'm intrigued by the fact that you are paying a fee to ET to promote your site. If its the latter, I too...

    Making PC faster

    It is not the quantity of programs running that's important, its the amount of resources (CPU and Memory) that are being utilized. The best way to evaluate this is to check resource utilization during regular trading hours when your charting program, trading platform, browser window, etc. are...

    Video Card Plan Fails

    Yes, cost is really my consideration here. I don't care what something costs as long as I think I'm getting my money's worth. I just think you are trying to smash a grape with a sledgehammer. The 290 probably generates more heat, I mean look at the size of the heat sink, but is that material...

    Video Card Plan Fails

    Well, if your heart is set on the 290, then fine, but I agree with Gnome that the 64/128mb 285 card is more than adequate for about 1/4 the cost.

    Yeah, that is kind of interesting since Nvidia's website says the 440's cooling is passive. http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_14605.html

    why use TICK chart?

    Bull Shit. Who do you think "The Market" is? Its people, not trees. Even the bots are programed by people, and people are creatures of habit. When the market begins moving up or down, what is the tendency of the majority of market participants? Jump on the trend and ride it. Why, because...

    Is it just me or the internet has become slower ?

    Just buy a new computer. I bought 3 comps from this company with no problems. They say they are used, but 2 of them came in the original box, with all accessories wrapped in original plastic. The third one did have a few light scratches on the side of the side. Get one that comes with all...

    MBI 500MM infusion

    It means Warburg got hosed. MBI was trading around $31 at the time the deal was struck on 12/10/07, which was a greater than 50% haircut from where the stock had been trading only a couple of months earlier.
