You could use the CPU high accuracy counter and trigger initially off the IB server time. There is a mex file on the ML FEX called hat.mexW32 that hits the high accuracy counter with extreme accuracy (nanoseconds) for inter-sample deltas. You could periodically check the IB server time and...

hehe excellent quote.

I want one of those old Nike missile sites that are in the hills surrounding LA. Yeah, thats the ticket.

My home appreciated over 10% between July 2006 and December 2008 when it was bank-appraised for refinance. Not all real-estate is crashing. Anyone on the coast or on a hilltop near town is making money. If you guys just want to hate on Cali on general principles that is fine. I think some of...

Sorry but that is all academic because the U.S. has already agreed to give Tawain back to China. For their end China forced N.Korea to stop its nuclear program. The deal was cut almost a year ago. We won't be defending Tawain and they are electing pro-Chinese people to their government now so...

Agree. I've been all over the world. I always come back to California. I recently spent a couple of years at a hedge fund in Chicago and hated everything except the food and some of the european girls running around. In California everywhere you look there are large geographic features in the...

Elaborate.

Because the capital gains tax you propose does not suit the Dems, they want more of what they consider to be windfall profits. They want to punish investors. I don't have any idea why they would want to do that.

Ignore listed.

After much consideration I'm placing blame with Greenspan. When housing prices began to rise stupidly he should have started raising rates to cool off the market. Instead he lowered rates to historically low levels and the thing ran away like Chernobyl. He had his hand on the throttle. It was...

Good example. Of course its an extreme case and clearly the guy should not have been extended that loan. Instead of bailing Jeff Gray out what if the bank evicted Jeff immedietely and promptly sold the property at auction to the highest bidder? The bank could then report the loss to the banks...

Look, times are difficult and we're all going to have to chip in. California needs that high-speed rail line between Disneyland and Las Vegas or the world will surely end. Any help you folks can give to see that project through will really be appreciated. I know traders are generous...

I agree with the poster who cited the Roman model. Only landowners with 5 acres or more should be able to vote in the U.S.

My elite masters? Now who would that be?

So there is something amoral about making lots of money? Its wealth redistribution. The government has been overthrown by facsists who will take from the wealthy and give to the poor. Part of me just wants to completely ignore politics and world affairs for the next 4 years. Another part...

Its AT&T but I sure like my Tilt (its really an HTC Kaiser) running Windows Mobile 6.0. You can download an app called Bandswitch that gives you full control of the radios. You can make the phone use Edge exclusively when you are in bad reception areas so the phone isn't constantly trying to...

A couple of my friends have picked up amazing deals on sailboats and yachts. Its a workable idea to live on one if you don't have tons of stuff.

Chicago is ghey. Michigan *is* beautiful, you just have to get outside of downtown Detroit idiot. Try Lake St. Claire shores.

Agree. Good post.

Makes sense in that it lines up well with the fear you see coming out of congress and the Obama administration. I'll bet this is what really scared the crap out of them.
