    A move from XP to Windows 7, not so easy.

    what do you care about Win 7 ? Xp is fine. You don't need anything else. In fact you could trade for the rest of your life with XP if it wasn't for developers needing a way to feed their family, rather make their stock options go up. If yoiu need Win 7, I guess the consumption society...

    UPS Points the Way To Reality

    news don't matter, fundamentals don't matter (because you can't base your decisions on it if you don't trade on hope) , it's a casino .

    Are financial programmers under paid?

    Yes discretionary traders are a dying breed at IB's and institutions but there will always be room for them in smaller structures. Besides not being a programmer or program trader I would say most programs do mostly the same things, that is why investing a program is like investing in the...

    IB charts with improved clarity

    Support almost always tells you to reinstall java . They (generally speaking) and the bastard developers are time wasters . Who gives a damn about IB charts anyway ? I wouldn't trade off these charts, except in emergency if I am on vacation and at a cybertcafé or hotel. IB developers...

    Bernanke is ranked world's best at handling financial crisis?

    Remember Greenspan was "the Maestro". There is a big problem with central bankers there should be no chairman, they should act and speak as a committee and not be as much in the spotlight. They should be replaced more frequently, shorter term and 2 term limit. And then they should have no...

    Aapl And Yhoo Earnings Ah Tonight

    AAPL stock will be destroyed. DESTROYED and so will the shareholders in love with their Apple gizmos. It amazes me how people are in love with this stock. It's over for the stock. Just a few weeks left before it starts deflating.

    How private clinics/doctors will replace the income lost to healthcare plan?

    Such a fuss for a proposed reform that has nothing earth shattering in it, it's just about reducing costs and allowing everyone to afford a healthcare plan. You would have to be completely disingenious and selfish (thinking about your taxes) to find anything wrong with that objective...

    Bonds for the small trader

    OK thanks, the explanations of bond PV I found were confusing, some talking about the "appropriate " rate to be determined according to duration and spread others talking about YTM being the discount rate. I guess when you hear talking heads saying bonds are undervalued you just have to take...

    Bonds for the small trader

    While learning more about bonds and doing some research to build a portfolio, I stumbled on several issues and questions that took me some time to answer. However I still don't understand a major aspect of bonds: what makes a bond undervalued ? I thought I read a liitle on bonds but nowhere ...

    vantage point software

    It's just amazing how some people are gullible. I never thought this VP software did anything other than simple trend following and thus was definitely not worth its price. Unfortunately for something to be sold you have to present outrageous claims -you have to the holygrail", "just 15...

    How nice are people on elitetrader vs other forums

    No but for sure firing guns and riding a bike at full speed help release frustrations. But I would guess that forums centered around money , career, etc. have more assholes. Traders are themselves generally a particular breed of assholes.

    How nice are people on elitetrader vs other forums

    People come here to be assholes, actually worse than that. It's because of the money, the envy, the frustration. I am occasionally on motorcycle forum and a gun forum as well and everybody is nice.

    The Swine Flu Scam

    Is this true ? Was it a similar strain of swine flu ? I read something about the flu vaccine being a scam, it would not be effective at all, because only good for one particular strain and several show up every year, so you may still catch it . At least that's what I remember.

    paying for health care in uk

    You all are fear mongers. Some healthcare for everybody is better than none for millions. The UK system is a good compromise between high quality healthcare like in France or other European countries and the ongoing scam in the US. Taxes remain reasonable in the UK, in France not. ex: 30+...

    Are financial programmers under paid?

    If you feel you are "underpaid" and if you are so good, why don't you design your own system that trades all day for you while you are sipping pina colada at a beach in the Bahamas? My guess is just that at some stage you actually need traders to help build and implement the system, coding...
