So, with everyone saying that $5k isn't enough ... what are your thoughts on how much you should start with reasonably? Better yet, what did you start with, and why?

yes

It really depends on what your PC can support. Do you have two open PCI Express slots? If so, I'd get a couple of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814108147

You're better off getting two compatible cards (eg. 2 x nVidia GeForce w/ dual vga)

Gee, now does everyone flaming him, calling his post spam feel a bit better? :D lol .. Anyway, I thought I would say that if you take the proper precautions to not lose the money, you should be just fine trading it. I am still getting into trading myself (w/ approximately the same size...

Oh sweet! I didn't know that was there ... *ignore*

Looks like we have another Cramer-style confirmation of a bear market coming up!

First of all, I don't think he was too clear, and secondly, I am pretty sure that he isn't looking for a mirroring solution. When people refer to dual monitors, their goal most often is to add screen space, not get a mirror of what they already have. As gnome once again has pointed out, the...

Precisely. Unless there is a video controller to render different content for a 2nd screen, you won't get any extra screen real-estate ... only a duplicated image as gnome has already said. Just FYI, I am a systems administrator, and computer hardware/software is my specialty ... this stuff...

Wow, this is all great advice ... thanks all for the input thus far. @thehangingman: My original intent was to put a small amount of my capital into the Roth and simply invest in a mutual fund. I may, as someone else suggested, end up trading it a bit more actively if I develop a good...

By whom?

Hey, thanks for the input. I've got a day job, so I'm covered in the event of a severe failure, but I do have a few months of savings to go through before I burn out. Maybe I will just focus on the investing, as that's where my long-term goal is anyway. I wasn't sure if putting a small amount of...

Agreed; That's why I'm thinking it'll turn around mid-January ... it just needs a little more time. The ADX indicator still shows an increasing downtrend, but I don't think it'll go too far considering increasing energy prices in 2007.

Is there a fee for "Platinum Banking" though?

This equity has been on a downtrend since the beginning of December. It shows a low-end resistance around the $28 mark, and around $33 on the upper end. I am estimating that it will continue in a downtrend until mid-January and reverse into the lower 30's around the end of February. With this in...

I would still think you should set a target price on these, even though you aren't going to set a time frame. At least have some expectation of how much you expect to make per equity and set a limit order? I also like the way you defended your picks in your second post. Cheers

Honestly ... I get paid weekly by my day job employer, and I don't really even notice. I handle my finances in such a way that I always have enough money in savings to cover my bills for a few months before running dry.

Yeah, wire transfer fees have always seemed expensive. IB has one free transfer per month, but check requests are only $4.00 thereafter ... not bad, if you ask me, considering you shouldn't need to request money all that often?
