There are some markets and market conditions that will look for small lot trades and purposefully reverse in an attempt to wash these people out .....Dont beleive me ? ..run some statistical tests. There are some markets that do this like clockwork under certain conditions. So what do you...

Nope.

Yes realtors built it ...it is theirs to use ... no controversy there .... However there is IMHO anticompetitive behaviour associated with the realtor contracts that usually state that you can not list your house on any other service if you want to list it in the MLS. This type of behaviour...

1. Always turn in favor of ACID support unless your design requirements negate it ... and then you need to basicaly roll you own high performance support for this or use an in- memory high performance option. 2. Store as much data as possible ..... remember each piece of data stored has a...

Once you know the formula for a partcular state and the local scene, the amount of time spent on a sale is the same a typical RE broker would invest .... almost nothing. A few phone calls, a couple of well placed ads perhaps, and a few well placed whispers that the property will be available...

Uhmm ... Sold more than one last year ... word of mouth only, received above market on two, no comissions paid to anyone, arranged all the paperwork myself. Used an agent on only one other.... got a worse deal than I could have generated myself ..... Infact over the years I have never had an...

I've had properties where people attempted this ... we had a property in a prime area that we decided to sell ourselves ... I put a 24 hour a day camera on the property and when it caught a local high-flying realtor destroying a sign and trespassing I had him hauled into jail ..... So, I...

I've heard rumors that there is someone in Chicago that has their own generator, and many solar panels, and that they are currently running 16 monitors off of one computer from their motor home .... astounding ...

...well there is this guy called MrMarket ...... he has lots of meat and cheese ..... perhaps he might sell some of it to back you .... think of the possibilities .... MrDoubleMarket MrMarketDouble MrDoubleMrMarket etc The possibilities are endless ....

House transaction prices are indeed public record - why the other poster did not know this is astounding ..... I have worked with very large fianancial organizations and believe me, you can find out anything on anybody......

Well, I think it should be pretty obvious that this type of thing strikes fear into everyone that makes their living off the real estate ecosystem. This group has attempted to control - through means that in my opinion should not be allowed just as it is not tolerated in other industries -...

I think that the behaviour in this case from your vendor is standard .... and I would say that your response is appropriate. As a side note I have examined all of this and previously determined that I would not allow option trading through IB's platform until and if things are improved ....

Yes. But keep in mind that real estate really is cyclical ..... it just might be that you are living in interesting times where you are enjoying a nice set of shorter term circumstances............these types of opportunities may not appear again for a few years ....So congratulations on smart...

... When you start looking at the reason you want an in memory database or a high performance IO solution you start looking beyond typical relational systems - there is a penalty for all of the useful things they do - but in general its still very useful. The trick is to partition your...

Education cost inflation - beyond anything your dad could ever imagine - is a huge problem in the US ...but market forces will solve this most likely in a very unpleasant way. Health insurance costs are another issue. These are the two primary culprits I see causing trouble. Yes, its probably...

I worked with SybaseSQLServer starting in 1994 if memory servers me ..... From 1994 to 1995 we used Sybase Open Client as our basis of communications from various tiers. After that I used the very first beta of ASP and the drivers that appeared - things were modest then and could be accomplished...

Yes ... mySQL is still evolving ... using it is like working in the early days of SQL server and other now mature database systems.... Its not for the faint of heart. Still there are scenarios where its quite useful and cheap even with its current limitations.

Exactly .... and we are fully prepared to dump our current storage mechanism if things change. Also, for in-memory databases/datasystems we use the same approach. At design time our first priority is to avoid vendor lockin at (nearly) all costs.

Not really .... Like any database system the optimizer is unique : its not Oracles, SQL server, DB's etc. Subqueries can be dealt with in MySQL if you know the vagarities of the optimizer and plan ahead for those issues ..... MySQL currently reminds me of Sybase/SQL server or earlier versions of...

I currently maintain approximately 450 GBytes of data in MySQL databases. This data represents historical data for backtesting purposes and other storage data related to our trading systems. Prior to this we had everything in SQL Server: We DRAMTICALLY cut our costs by executing this...
