    Call me crazy but......

    Agreed .... you should have a plan, any plan , for entering and exiting each and every trade. Thus far today has been a good "chop" day for most of the issues that I regularly trade. Even in these I still am doing something today by simply acknowledging the chop and trading within the...

    Application of my fault-tolerant real-time technology

    .. but its not commodity........ Pretty risky if you need to get people to deal with this, or who are willing to deal with it on an ongoing basis without paying a premium .... I still prefer to stay with commodity types of skill sets and systems where I can get people cheap.

    Application of my fault-tolerant real-time technology

    ..to some people this seems like black magic but producing a simple fault tolerant protocol that will run over several nodes relatively efficiently is no big deal - to run over multiple tens or hundreds (or more) is a more difficult problem. ... for most systems you can produce a great deal...

    Seeking Win API guru...no response in other forum

    I dont weld myself to any platform or data provider ....... Reverse engineering any piece of non-trivial software is expensive in terms of time and resources. Most of the time, it is faster and cheaper to simply write the application from scratch than to reverse engineer undocumented code. my...

    Application of my fault-tolerant real-time technology

    I really do like these utilities ........ Complete fault tolerance computing is something that I cant cost justifiy for my operations - I can however do quite well employing clustering technology and other related techniques for increasing redundany and reducing the impact of any incidents...

    how low can PCs go?

    Build was never an option for me: it was always a losing proposition when you added up my time. Today it would be an even bigger loss: buy is actually cheaper in many cases than building - excluding the cost of your time. Hardware is very much commoditized and money is made on razor thin...

    looking to short CME

    pretty large pickup in volume after the breakthrough the 52 week highs ... all to the downside....... a lot of effort to keep the issue below 307 and below the 307.80 mark.... but ... its not clear to me there will be big pullback .... the resistance seemed weak ..... but this was correlated to...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    many large caps have made big workforce reductions and cost reductions over the last three years: these moves are starting to yield big gains on profitability. ....... I dont view this as anything truly unusual when set against the backdrop of seasonal signals ......

    Housing Rolling Along 3

    ...Well.... the other way to look at this is that the violation of the traditional rent equation is telling you something about conditions ...... That is that rental considerations are no longer the basis of the investment .... Lots of people are taking properties that are underwater and and...

    Big bad day, coming soon.....

    Well a late day reversal does not always portend a pullback during the next trading session ...... but a four year high is a good excuse to try a reversal ....... I agree that the strength of the move was modest ... up at the open and then stuck in a trading range with a pullback in the last...

    I agree ... its quite remarkable that this situtation has occurred. I dont think there will be a collapse ... just a correction and it wont be as much as many people are forcasting ..... still it makes sense to take some profits off the table occasionally ... FYI I am not liquidating all of my...

    Very bullish

    That would be you ! But seriously ...... alll of this is just so much talk. In the last few days the market has seemed to be saying that your prediction was wrong but who knew for sure until this morning ... although everything could change between now and the open but with the numbers...

    Looking for historical prices for testing various models.

    LOL Well, even intraday tick data is pretty much commodity ... although there are still fees for this today I definitely see the day when this will be given away .... and I think that day is very close. Dont invest too much money in buying data right now ... just buy what you absolutely...

    Where's the ''economic benefit'' anyway?

    I dont care who makes the money ..... These markets do serve a purpose with respect to the insurance analogy and they are used for this purpose all the time: There really is no mystery. Do the existence of derivative markets affect the price of the underlying instrument ? - sure they do but...
