F-35 is actually not as effective of an air-superiority fighter as the F-22. The main advantage of the F-35 is its versatility. In straight up dog-fighting the F-22 smokes it. If the T-50 is indeed comparable (which I doubt) to the F-22 it will too.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I stumbled across this old thread that I posted on a while back, when I was searching for something else. I just wanted to set the record straight here. I was completely wrong and dtrader was right. I talked to a statistician a while back about this and...

I store tick events in binary files, separated out by date. Each security gets its' own directory...so for example all of my "SPY" tick data is in a directory called "STK_SPY". I load the files a few at a time on another thread, as a back-test progresses. 99% of the time, I am interested in...

I wonder if there might be a little more to the story. I'm no lawyer but I think I've heard that In certain specific cases not paying a debt is essentially committing fraud.

Wow, I was not aware of that. Thanks for posting that article.

PHYS is a CEF rather than an ETF. CEF's almost always trade at a premium or a discount to their underlying assets. In the current market environment, you are going to most likely going to be paying a premium to own PHYS. If PHYS ever trades at a discount to its net asset value then by...

Here is a short and interesting article about how these public accommodations laws can have strange and unintended consequences. It isn't just a clear-cut case that opposition to these laws equals racism. There is a very legitimate argument to be made that these laws trample on business...

I ate a raw diet for most of last summer. I recommend the book "Everyday Raw", and the 2 other bigger cook books from the same author. I would typically eat one of the smoothies in "Everyday Raw" for breakfast. Then snack on nuts, fruit, or one of the snack food recipes (pre-prepared) from...

There is no way this will work. It will only take a small minority of free-loaders to make it non-profitable. If they ever put this program at a Panera near me, and I wasn't allergic to wheat....I'd be one of those freeloaders.

Dude, have you read the other thread in the options forum about the guy who had his vertical put spreads auto-liquidated at worse prices than the max-loss for a vertical spread? Options wouldn't have necessarily saved you yesterday. I'm a long-time IB customer and I am very disturbed by the...

I went downstairs to eat a snack....I'm kind of glad I wasn't at my screens during the spike. One stock I bought this morning in the teens shows a low price for the day of 0.01 :eek: Several other stocks on my screen are showing 0.01 lod's too. I'm actually glad I missed the whole thing...I...

Hopefully, you have already taken the other posts' advice and visited a doctor. You definitely have some sort of spinal injury around your 6th and 7th vertebrae. When I injured my spine in this region, I had those EXACT same symptoms. This could be a very serious injury and you don't want to...

I use a time-based, and keep each trade very small.

"I can make a firm pledge, Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax. Not your payroll tax. Not your capital gains taxes. Not any of your taxes." -- Barack Obama

One thing to keep in mind, is that VB (VB.NET) is a very different language from VBA (the macro language that MS-Excel uses). So when you are searching for information on "VB", keep in mind which particular type of "VB" you are interested in. If you want to write stand-alone apps, then you...

I remember reading everywhere that my generation would be the "first generation in US history not to surpass their parents income" back when I was in High school in the 1990's...

I'm no accountant, but it seems to me that whenever I see projections for how much the state of CA is going to be required to add to the public employees pension fund that eventually the pension obligations will overwhelm the state budget and leave no room for anything else. Perhaps someone who...

I read somewhere earlier today that they are unable to create anymore ETF units or something like that. Maybe that has to do with the halt?

Like all things, IRS zealotry goes in cycles. We are currently in an uptrend. I remember back in the early to mid 90's the IRS was aggressive in their auditing policies. You saw horror stories like this in the news magazines on a regular basis. Eventually there was enough outrage and the IRS...

I've recently replaced my trading computer too. I bought an HP Laptop with windows 7 64-bit installed about a week ago. I've been pleasantly surprised by how problem-free it has been. It's been a mutch better experience than Vista 64. Interactive Broker's TWS and the TWS API seemed to...
