    Digital Camera's, Photography anyone?

    I've heard that you -can- rent them, although I have no idea where. I post at the Ars Technica forums a lot ... people there speak of such things.

    Trading in a Different Country

    I was thinking ... is there a better country to live in than the US as far as taxation is concerned? Eventually, once I am trading for a living, it would be nice to trade as a citizen in a country other than the US to avoid the heavy taxes here. Are there any catches to doing that, such as...

    Digital Camera's, Photography anyone?

    DPReview is a great site, although I'm not sure how many in-depth lens reviews they have. I tend to just Google a few specifics like "nikkor 50mm f/1.8D" or "sigma 24mm f/2.8" to find reviews and user comments. Amazon also sometimes has user reviews, although they're not a huge digital...

    Say Hello To My Friend!

    Oh shit, I didn't even realize that ... although I did on another thread. That's really annoying. The other thread I saw was from 2001. WTF?

    Say Hello To My Friend!

    I've welcomed him to my ignore list :/ Easier this way, but he is pretty funny.

    One day, you'll make the call correctly ... just keep throwing 'em out there.

    The stripclub that became an 8 bagger

    The term "stripclub" seems a little sensationalist to me. There are plenty of clubs that don't qualify as stripclubs.

    For some reason, that doesn't sound very promising. Just speculating though ...

    Digital Camera's, Photography anyone?

    AF works best when there is plenty of light, so make sure you're judging the AF ability on fair grounds. Lenses can be expensive, but you need to shop around. Here's a couple recommendations: Nikkor 50mm Prime f/1.8 Nikkor 18-135mm ED Glass AF-S f/3.5-5.6g Nikkor 18-200mm VR (Vibration...

    Digital Camera's, Photography anyone?

    I would highly recommend the Nikon D80. Of course, since I own a D50, I am biased towards Nikon, but it truly is a nice camera. I am thinking about upgrading to the D80 because it has more options like more intricate ISO speeds, an extra dial on the front of the body for the shutter finger, a...

    Selling Puts

    In the case of AAPL, aren't you also factoring in the recent unusually high volatility in the announcement of the iPhone, and the high volume of the underlying being traded? EDIT: Point being that AAPL vs. a much less volatile stock, you probably wouldn't see this to the same extreme?

    Selling Puts

    No offense, but that seems to be the exact opposite of what I have learned. Since the Time Value has essentially disappeared, it becomes worthless at an increasing rate?

    Digital Photography Anyone?

    I don't postprocess mine at all. I'd encourage you to post some as-is if you're willing, as I'd be interested in seeing them. :)

    Digital Photography Anyone?

    I bought a Nikon D50 a couple months ago, and have been loving it a lot. Anyone else here enjoy photography? If so, have you got any samples you'd be willing to share in here? Flickr Chicago Street Station :: Red Line Woodstock Opera House Candlelit

    Selling Puts

    Shit, that sucks. I am aware of the auto-exercise rules though =D I'm sure I'll sell the option before the expiry month anyway. I know someone who trades options, and they suggested that I not hold the contract past the first day of the expiry month.

    Selling Puts

    I've actually been there. I've found that my best learning resources have been Wikipedia, Investopedia, surfing the forums here, books, etc. The tutorials at the CBOE seem pretty basic to me ... I've already gotten past most of that I think.

    Selling Puts

    Ok thanks. That all is synonymous with what you said earlier, and my original post, which questioned the meaning of being "long a put." Sweet. On the P.S. .... you only get "put" if the naked put you sold is exercised by its buyer, correct?
