Update - looks like the Viewsonic model is about $450 CND.

I have actually wondered about this for quite some time now, since widescreen panels have become very common/popular in consumer laptops. Specifically, I've generally been suprised that widescreen monitors haven't been very common in sizes under 20" - it looks like this could be the beginnings...

...I was poking around the other night through a local computer shop's price list, and the following caught my attention: Acer 1916W-B 19" Widescreen LCD Black 8ms, 1440x900, price: under $400 CND. Unfortunately the monitor only has a VGA input (no DVI), but damn, the price sure is nice...

So in other words, he should basically do a business degree (with a finance major) if he is interested in trading. Couldn't agree more myself, that's what I'm doing. :D For those that aren't familiar, a business undergrad degree generally includes: - a calculus class - minimum of three...

I'm actually somewhat suprised to see the plasma screen as a centerpiece, wouldn't it make a great deal more sense to have a nice big LCD instead?

I generally stay away from "the market is moving up/down" threads, but after a brief bit of consolidation, the Nasdaq sure is looking poised to continue upwards tomorrow in a strong manner.

Update - still holding long position, stock is in a nice upwards channel. P.S. Here is a chance to post a snapshot generated by QuoteTracker's newly implemented historical charting. It's purdy! :)

Looks overextended to me too, but you definately have balls trying to pick a top in a stock that has been moving up like that.

Can't comment on this new Sceptre monitor, but there are a slew of 20" Widescreen monitors coming soon. Gateway just launched one. Viewsonic has one on the way shortly, as does Benq, and so does Acer.

I agree. Just because the stock is cheaper than it was 4 months ago doesn't mean that it is cheap.

Also really important to make sure that you use standoffs when mounting your motherboard in the case. :cool:

My take on things is that if you want to be short, and limit your downside risk, why not use options instead?

Yes. F = S*e^[(r-q)(T)] F = Futures price S = Spot price r = risk-free q = yield T = time Note - the above rates are continuously compounded. So, F declines as T declines, all else being equal. This is called a normal (or contango) market.

I suspect that the writer of the article is talking about notional principal, if so, it would greatly inflate the dollar values quoted for the swap market. I haven't studied credit default swaps yet (I'm actually about to do that this weekend for my bond class), but interest rate swaps for...

Probably has a great deal to do with the roughly 4.4 billion shares outstanding for LU.

To quote your September 23rd post: "The low is in" http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55627 I took a look at the chart, and it looks to me like it is currently in a fairly pronounced downtrend. Today's close was $74.50, it'll be interesting to check back in a...

Update - BWNG moved up 4% today, appears to be breaking out again, chart is a great example of what I would best term as "rising optimism". On a related note, I saw something fairly odd today - someone put up roughly 200,000 shares for sale at $6.90 today on an ECN (Arca). Seemed a bit...

That may currently be the case, but I'm sure that they will be able to rapidly bring down the cost of manufacturing. And yes, I know, their retail prices will also drop over time... I'm also guessing that Xbox Live for the 360 is going to be a high margin business for them. Don't get me...

Might not be related, but I was watching RobTV just now (pre-recorded), and apparently Oprah featured the Blackberry on her show?

I wouldn't be so sure, being first to market is very important, and it looks like Microsoft is going to have nearly a year prior to North American launch of Playstation 3. It seems like everyone is talking about the Xbox 360 these days, the buzz factor is definately present. Two key things...
