i doubt nba'ers play bridge; the acbl makes a big deal when they hear anyone 'famous' playnig bridge, and they've never mentioned it... bridge used to be *the* thing to do among baseball players, probably up until the 50s? oh, in the bridge mag, they mentioned bill gates' playing, omar...

what i'd suggest... see if you can find people who want to do it for fun, more so than being competitive. that's the most important part. check out acbl.org - i joined, don't play regularly at all - but each month receive the bulletin, which is outstanding, for free. the cost is $35, i...

oh, also, unfortunately, several ISPs ignore reports from spamcop. it's ridiculous, i know, but a fact..

consumer reports did a great disservice with that information. unfortunately, it's a known fact that there are a fair chunk of spammers who use the 'remove' list as VERIFICATION that you have a live address. they then sell the 'verified live address' list at a super increased price. the...

links - it was the same on friday. the comments to my wife and to a trader friend in nyc echoed yours, and i'm glad to know it wasn't my eyes. older people, eminis / futures... it seemed like there were more people IN the preview floor when oliver velez gave his presentation speech a...

estrader- hotmail doesn't provide your address to spammers. what happens is: 1) if you set up an account, and it's in the public address book, spammers hit it. 2) if the account was used by ANYONE before you, and expired, and you used it, it's hit by spammers. 3) if your account is the...

get your ISP to use spews (www.spews.org) . it's one of the most aggressive systems out there to block spam. why? because, if an ISP refuses to terminate a spamsite, it starts blocking adjacent IP addresses. several of the major backbones refused to terminate spamsites, because the...

small plug of a place i have no affiliation with... if you're looking for absolutely out of this world awesome lobster rolls, check out mary's fish camp in greenwich village. it's an A/C/E subway car away, maybe 15 minutes by subway? and then a few block walk. west 4th and charles, but...

his AA record is abysmal. it was posted on the yahoo thread by people who subscribed...basically, you're looking at down 25% / annually, i believe, the past few years. his 'off the cuff' remarks have been considerably worse...IBM at 120? AOL way higher, TYC all the way down, etc. but...

cramer had a post on realmoney (when i subscribed; i cancelled b/c i couldn't stomach giving money any more to an organization where cramer has control) that said when the market was going down that he was glad he had sold everything that day, and was all in cash... the next day, his post was...

this is a serious question, not a knock on any posters... why do so many people think the 'contrarian' position is being a bull? talking heads, writers, analysts, traders, etc. are mainly short-term negative..."until war breaks out in iraq"..and then almost uniformly bullish! if...

and as a sidebar...(and if it's common knowledge, just skip over it). stocks which are normally 'flat' on the daily range - gap up hugely - and close near the low, in a flat trading range EOD - usually go down (at least) the first 30 minutes of the next trading session. they sometimes offer...

brandon's not a snake oil salesman. it's one thing to be suspicious, as there are bad apples out there. it's another to attack one of the good guys. brandon is one of those.

babak - however, when you own a domain name and tag the message header (in this case, channelingstocks @ domainname)... if it was a randomly generated thing, you'd receive a ton of other messages. they wouldn't get bounced, because they'd all be sent to the domain name's "real" address...

sorry. *perceptions* of stocks can be manipulated by the tape. i thought everyone understood that...

and the funny part is that 75 years later, many of the things are similar. sure, the uptick rule has changed things (so shorting to push stocks down is harder). imagine shorting a stock with a few million shares in the float with no uptick rule? priced at 200? oops, that's some stocks in...

there's a good book on the 'rest' of livermore's life, released last year, by richard smitten. womanizer? definitely. gambler? wouldn't doubt it (though it's not mentioned). the trust thing, apparently, was her doing - after the divorce, she switched it out of what he put it in and put it...

IB rep said that they would be posted sometime 'early next (this) week'.

nearly all talking heads expect the market to go up big on a war. cramer expects the market to go up big on a war (and in fact, has been screaming "1991!" for at least 1 year). therefore, given most talking heads (contrary), and cramer (excellent results when going contrary to his foaming...

they're no longer reporting details on the stocks, either.
