    Stoned Update*

    Given that Hologic ( which purchased current Exact Science CEO Kevin Conroy's last company, Third Wave )just recently paid $3.7 BILLION for GenProbe, which is nothing more than a legacy blood screening company that screens for stuff like STD's and Hepatitis in blood, I would tend to believe that...

    Exact Science

    Stoney, I've had a core investment in EXAS for over 5 years now. You can do a search and see some posts that I made on ET back in 2007 highlighting this Company. The key is the new management team that came in about 3 years ago. CEO Kevin Conroy and CFO Maneesh Arora and Senior Research...

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Yes. In the case of my Samsung they gave me a 3.5" bracket to screw the 2.5" SSD onto. Samsung also provided the SATA cable and power cable, not too mention a copy of Norton Ghost for data migration ( I suggest doing a fresh install, though) It's mind-boggling just how small (and thin) these...

    new power supply unit

    Agreed 100% There are all sorts of nasty viruses and malware out there that are stealing your computers CPU resources and memory. Your issue is most likely a software problem, not a hardware issue.

    Pictures of your trading stations

    Remember, if you choose to use Nvidia's free software application "NView" to stretch your applications across all of your monitors, "NView" is no longer supported by GeForce graphics based cards anymore. I believe that "NView" will still work with XP and a GeForce card, but this handy...

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Last week, I purchased a refurbished "Scratch and Dent" Dell XPS-8300 from their Outlet site as a back-up unit to my Dell T3400 workstation. I'm a big fan of the i7-2600 Intel CPU, and I was able to find several pages of these processors in the recently discontinued Dell XPS-8300 on Dell's...

    Need advice for new trading computer

    Just an FYI . . . Nvidia GeForce video cards are no longer supported by Nvidia's (free) desktop software called NView... which allows the user to stretch his trading software across multiple monitors. If you have a Windows 7 based OS, you need to purchase an Nvidia based graphics card that...

    Which Processor offers the best speed and durability to price ratio?

    I like the i7-2600 for the bang for the buck. You can get it on the Dell XPS 8300 from their Outlet Site for as low as $739 which includes 12 Gigs of DDR SDRAM and a decent hard-drive, 16X DVD +/- RW Drive, and Windows 7 Home Premium. You can also find a unit with as much as 16 Gigs of RAM...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    I hear ya Stock777. I dared the management team at TD Ameritrade (several years ago) to sit in a conference room with coffee and donuts and their crappy snap-shot filtered feed with all of its horrendous lag, and after a day and a half of trading.... let me know if they felt like they had a...

    QuoteTracker To Be Finished End of 2011

    Dude, where have you been??? Their Level-II quotes have lagged for over 3 years and they couldn't care less. They are constantly behind the curve when it comes to "upgrading their feed" and staying ahead of the massive amount of quotes per second that has become the status-quo in the equity...

    QuoteTracker being shut down for good?

    I "tested" the ToS platform back in 2009 and was dumb-founded to learn that they were using a simple "snap-shot" feed (just like TD Ameritrade), as opposed to the kind of "tick" feed that you can get via DTN... like their IQ-Feed. Their techs may have upgraded the feed a bit by "prioritizing"...

    Buying New Computer

    I am a fan of Dell too, and especially their Outlet site. I would go to their Home Outlet site where you can purchase the XPS-8300 and a state of the art, Intel i7-2600 processor with 12 Gigs of RAM, 460 watt Power Supply, 1 Terabyte SATA-II hard drive, and a 16X DVD +/- RW drive and Windows...

    Dell Ultra-Sharp 24" Monitor Sale

    I was trying to buy the U2412M Ultra-Sharp from Dell's Business Outlet site this morning for $279. Comes with a 90 day warranty cause it is in the "refurbished" category at the Outlet. In any event, I call up Dell Business and the sales guy says to me..."How'd you like to purchase that...

    Obviously, there is a non-compete contract between Jerry and TDA. It would be interesting to know when it ends. :p

    What really happened with BATS execution?

    You are out of your mind. The last thing that they wanted was to have to CXL their IPO and come back to the market place a second time . . . and (most likely) at a much lower offering price.
