    russian operating system

    Agree 100%. If enough software manufacturers would make Linux ports and we could get the business world to use Linux based Office suites MS would be in serious trouble. As cloud computing becomes more and more prevalent we might still see a changing of the guard for dominant OS. For instance if...

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    Actually in the post above I said "Democrats" were wanting to borrow the UE money from China. This needs a slight correction. It is the "Progressives" (read socialists) that have infiltrated the Democratic party that are trying to collapse the system. The true Democrat party has been slowly...

    Millions to lose Unemployment benefits over the next month!!!!!!!

    Idiot!!! Republicans are not saying "No" to extending unemployment benefits. The reason they haven't been extended is because the Democrats want to borrow the money from China and add the benefits to our debt further sinking the country. Republicans want to pay for the befits out of the unused...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    All cookies are "temporary" by nature but the expiration date can be set to expire whenever they want say 100 years from now making them "pseudo-permanent". Some cookies you may even want. If you log in to a web site that has a "remember me" or a "keep me logged in" type option then they do this...

    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    That will not prevent Google, Quantserve, or most of the other sites from tracking you though.

    Why do folks only get behind stocks after they have made big runs?

    Be thankful for those people. Those that bought low need someone to sell to at the top. =)

    Why do you guys trade options?

    Aren't you glad I talked you out of shorting GTLS? ; ) If you are still interested in trading GTLS I would look for a pull back to the $26.52 - $24.93 range (top 2 red lines on chart below). If it fails to breakthrough this level I would consider a long position of some sort....probably the...

    Is the job market currently that pathetic?

    I have a job and don't want other companies calling my boss as a reference. If I use fake references then I for sure wouldn't get a call back thereby defeating the "test". I cannot imagine companies wasting the time to post "fake" job listings though. I am sure there are people actively looking...

    Is the job market currently that pathetic?

    I am not saying that there are enough jobs for everyone to have to have one but there are a crap ton of REAL jobs out there to be had. Remember that I said Monster only shows 1000 listings so there might be 3-4k or even more jobs per major city. I did not narrow it down by field to see. However...

    A trend trading question

    So true. Then again if you know how to manage potential risk with potential reward you really only have to be right about 1/3 of the time. I would take a 50/50 bet all day long if I could get odds so that if I won I got $3 and if I lost I only lost $1.

    Is the job market currently that pathetic?

    Where do you live (City/State)? Looking at monster.com only, I have yet to find less than 1000 job openings in any major city in the US. Now is it going to be your dream job? Probably not but there is money to made for those that are willing to work.

    what type of strategies do you guys run?

    Personally I am a supply/demand guy and I watch for restests of known levels. I rarely use any indicators or trend lines but may occasionally use fundamentals to help determine size. The reality is there are many different ways to trade successfully but unfortunately there are exponentially more...

    OTM Iron Condors during Flash Crash

    This is rule #1 of trading. If you are trading size to the point that one bad trade wipes you out, you would be better off blowing that money on a hooker and lots of cocaine. Either way you get fucked but only one of them is the least bit enjoyable.

    HFT: Linux vs Windows

    When every millisecond counts the OS will be the least of your concerns. I would rather trade on a 5 year old computer plugged directly into a Nasdaq server than on a state of the art computer over dial up. The key is going to be in the latency of your internet connection. Don't confuse this...

    Crazy airport security theater affecting travel & economy?

    When I have to fly again I am going to demand a female to search me and ask for the "bonus plan". If my 10 yr old daughter is with me and they do that to her though, I will file suit for Sexual Assault of a Minor.

    neither TA not FA?

    I say the use any data created by the act of trading (such as price or volume history) regardless of how the data is manipulated (statistics, probabilities, indicators, supply/demand levels, pivot points, spreadsheets, etc.) would be considered technical analysis. Any use of data not created...

    Ok After Market close on April 13th 2010 Intel (INTC) reported blowout earnings: http://money.cnn.com/2010/04/13/technology/Intel_earnings/ What do you think this did to the stock? Of course it gaped up the next two days on the Fundamentals and by all accounts should have launched the...

    Trends in random data

    You are partially correct. Yes it not the number of potential buyers or sellers that move the market but the quantity of shares that is attempted to be bought or sold at a given level that causes the moves. It does not matter if the entire supply at a given level is from 1 institution or 1...
