    Why can't I start cooking chicken while still frozen?

    This from wiki: Do not cook frozen chicken in the microwave or in a slow cooker. However, chicken can be cooked from the frozen state in the oven or on the stove. The cooking time may be about 50% longer. Some advise against cooking frozen meat and poultry altogether; with chicken, always...

    Used .3 envelope for sells & 1.2 for buys. I wasn't feeling too confident about the opening so I didn't enter any extra stocks or layers like I usually do on expirations. I didn't think I was going to get any fills, but ended up with 5 fills short all winners: GE PFE TWX PG & T (best to...

    evaluating predictions

    That's a good summary nutmeg (good to see you on other threads aside from Jokes LOL - my favorite thread LOL) As far as the elements of prediction as applied to trading, my guess is that the majority of outcomes would be "a matter of chance". I am going to apply it today to a couple of...

    evaluating predictions

    I came across this method of evaluating how successful a prediction may be in a book called "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. Even though it's not a trading related book, since it is about fear, some parts of it actually could be applied to trading. Has anyone else read this book ...
