Complex !! THANK YOU !!! you've found it !!! THANK YOU !!! I did not read the blurb before, my bad ! :( Canyonman : that's a good idea to convert S-Video-In into Firewire. If such device existed, with appropriate softwares, one may not need to purchase a video capture card...

Complex : indeed, the photo shows what seems to be a second S-Video, however, they did not mention an S-Video IN in the spec of the computer. I'll email them the question.:confused: Canyonman : My cousin, a dentist, has an intra-oral camera that connects to the S-Video IN of his desktop...

Kicking, It sounds like your power supply is dying. It happenned to me once, I turned on the computer, heard a small 'pop!' from the back of the machine, and nothing turned on, it did look like something very bad (!) happened. 25$-45 $CDN and 4 - 6 screws to change the power supply ...

Non-trading related topic. Just wonder, should I get the Sonic Blue Rio S50 or the Creative Labs Nomad IIc ? Any recomendations for other MP3 players, good/bad experiences? p.s.: I don't want hardrive type Mp3 player because I don't want any moving parts. TIA Cheers!! :)

Nkhoi, Nice little device, but still does not have what I needed :( Cheers !!:)

Anyone knows if there is a notebook with a S-Video IN (not OUT) in the market? Thru' a quick search on Google, I've found one, but it's not from any main notebook manufacturers (Toshiba, Dell, ect...). Knowing that a S-Video in would require a graphic capture video card, I just wonder if...

Jordan, If you had entry points where to buy your GE, why don't you sell put? Instead of waiting and average down, you sell front month puts with strike price @ your entry point. If GE goes down, you'll have to buy, which was your initial plan, but you've collected some premium...

Qwik, How is Esignal speed for Eurostoxx50 (ET) ? I saw in previously posted threads that Esignal is a bit lagging for European quotes, I wonder if it is still the case. Thx. Cheers! :)

I used to o/c my Cel 400 Mhz to 450 Mhz, very stable, but the CPU heat increased about 15 - 20%. Now I have a Cel 1.7 Ghz, and haven't tried to o/c it.... I guest I grew out of that phase. :) Overclocking is not purely for speed, but also for the feeling that you had your saying to...

3. If you are forgetful, you may have 200 cows at your doorstep, or someone calling you asking if you want your 1000 barrels crude oil delivered via barrels or pipeline . :p ".........why do so few people trade them. I'm not referring to daytrading...... " A lot of people trade...

I never understood the reasons why one can purchase calls or sell covered calls in RRSP, and not purchasing/selling puts. Buying put is a great insurance policy to protect your long positions against a drop in price, and selling puts is a great way to wait for your stock to come down to your...

rolegario, it's great! continue to do whatever you were doing, but make sure not to lose 50% of it by the end of the month. For me, it's the end of month that counts. Cheers!! :)

like Fast Trader said, reduce size untill you feel comfortable enough to be able to accept the loss. You felt bad seeing a red -400$... would you feel the same seeing a red -40$ ? and it's the same 0.10$ of the same stock. Don't let the greed (trading big size to win BIG!) and...

Metooxx I was hoping to get some positive comments from you. Thx :) "Reasonable play..." is better than "Kid! are you that stupid !??! ":D Optional777, Indeed, I was a bit bearish on GE, that was why I sold a deep ITM and far expiration contract (deep and far... sounds like a...

:( Thanks guys for all your comments. I've learned a lot. Cheers !!:)

NasdaqTrader, Sorry, you're right. If the shares get called, it's 4.8% profit... I should not mix smoking good cubans and posting. :( Cheer!! :)

but... but... bikinis don't have sleeves ??? :confused: :confused: :D :D

Kaya, As you said, the Canadian option market is really bad for volume and price. I am long a few Canadian stocks, and couldn't find any good covered calls to make, be that there are no option contract available, or the premium sucks. Why GE? well, I already have some GE, have been...

Thanks for all the inputs. vhehn, I'll look into your spread. thx for the suggestion. I got in GE @ 29.19, and with some experience in daytrading, and useless risky exposure :( , I sold my covered calls @ 3.10, locking in 10.6% profit for now... untill the worst case scenario...

yes, I've thought of selling put, but 1- the dividend, and 2- it's in my RRSP, the Canadian equivalent of your IRA in US, I cannot sell naked put.
