    Sharing internet connection

    Linksys is the brand name of a router. I supposed the best router is CISCO, but it's a bit overkill for individual. Do a search on Google for 'router + reviews', and you'll find the 'best' router available for retails. One of the advantage of having a good router is that it has a hardware...

    Sharing internet connection

    If you connect 2 computers to a hub, both will ask for an IP address, and you will be billed for 2 IP at the end of the month. :mad: Win 98SE (and subsequent OS) could share the internet connection with the 'Internet Sharing' option. It will give the second computer a sub IP. The problem...

    i want to understand this

    I'd like to add this : each event (spin) is independent of the previous event. No matter how many red or black that came out before, the next spin will have 50% of chance giving red or black. The casino doesn't count of red/black (vs. people betting on red/black), but it counts on Zero or...

    How much can you????

    No, it should be the other way around. You should stop trading for that day if you've lost more than 1% of your capital. If you've made 2% for the day, you stop trading for that day if you gave back 1%. Cheers!! :)

    Selling Naked

    Selling naked puts looks dangerous, but under good money management and appropriate strategies, I think it may be 'safer' ... or higher chance of profit, than buying calls. If you have the needed cash in T-Bills, you're covered. Cheers!! :)

    How do you take those losses

    You got out at your stp loss, but actually got filled at bigger loss. It's called slippage. Nothing much you can do about it. Cheers!! :)
