    Marc Cuban on Day Trading

    I think they just pasted that photo there. The Mr. Cuban that everyone knows has a first name of Mark, not Marc.

    What % of traders really make money?

    i thought they banned online poker. apparently, i'm wrong. on the main topic, i do agree that about 10-15% are profitable traders. but, defining profitable is the issue. does someone who is up 500 bux net at the end of the year profitable? in my book, no unless that's just supplemental...

    What Computer do you prefer: two options....

    for stock traders, with the new requirements from the exchanges, is it really overkill? i run multiple apps for trading on a single machine and personally, it makes a difference. i even upgraded my video card , contrary to the belief of many suggestions, and my performance has improved.

    What Computer do you prefer: two options....

    Option B. I was told that XP won't utilize RAM over 2GB but I'm not an expert.

    Russell Rebalance Gaps

    the 19.35 was the closing print. not an afterhours print. on the rebalance days, they take a little longer (or a lot).

    Mobile Broadband Fast Enough?

    If you go to the message boards for broadband wireless, you will find that Sprint rules. They won't cancel subs like Verizon does for excess data use. VZ can be a nightmare when it comes to that. With Sprint and VZ both on EVDO, I'm not sure why you would go with VZ. AFAIK, Rev A is the...

    Computer setup help

    I disagree. Cable blows away DSL. For about $40 a month, you can get 30mps/5mps. On CVC, I go down about once a year for 5 mins. The speed is as fast as FIOS. DSL is the worst choice. And that goes for reliability as well.

    Gentlemen! I need your advice …

    I'm curious as to why your results are on closed trades and not closed and open. Or am I reading it incorrectly?

    Chimera Capital---a problem ?

    You are totally missing the point that CSTFX made. SIPC is totally irrelevant in this discussion. That only insures you if the broker/clearing firm where the account is goes under. If an LLC entity blows up from trading losses, no one is going to grant you a do over and replenish all your...

    Chimera Capital---a problem ?

    How many times a month do you pay your mortgage? 3 or 4 times or does your bank require you to wire funds in randomly? I don't understand that justification?? You said you're not bashing them but did you forget that your thread is "...a problem"? I don't know Chimera but seems like you...

    Making $5K with $20K each month

    Again, I'm sorry but you can not compare. Its a different style of trading - a different world. You can not take a billion dollars and scalp it like some daytraders here that do make 25% per month.

    Making $5K with $20K each month

    MS and GS won't be scalping and daytrading retail accounts. There is no comparison. 5k on 20k is doable. That's how most successful traders start out. I doubt that most newbies start out making 20% on 20k a year = 4k annually or 333/month. Or I doubt that most newbies start out trading...

    Individuals can't invest in hedges or shorts?

    I believe you mean hedge funds. You do need to be accredited to invest in them because they are highly speculative.

    Raid 1, Raid 0 or No Raid

    I use Raid 5. Allows me to have more space available while having the redundancy. No problems so far.
