    Best Visual Basic Book to learn from

    I am a good VB and VB script programmer that is self taught. However I didn't learn from any books really. What I did was I started small and identified what I wanted my program to do. Then I searched the internet for samples of how to do something similar and modified it to do what I wanted. I...

    Cramer - Biggest Dumbass

    Yeah that guy is a tool. I refuse to watch his show. I suppose it might be ok for entertainment value to some but otherwise it is a waste of air time.

    Stock market is boring

    This is why I have been using DBL Diag option trades to profit from the lack of movement. Iron Condors can also be nice trades in this market. Look at Puts as a form of insurance. Just like your car insurance, you buy the policy and if you don't wreck your car it expires worthless. If you do...

    Dilema

    So many times, in better housing markets than we are in now, I have seen people pay a mortgage on 2 houses for a year or more holding out for a certain price. What I personally would do to get the house sold fast is go ahead and take fair market value and subtract anywhere from 6mo to 1yr worth...

    Redundent Internet Connections

    Try looking up proxy servers. That should be able to block/filter any content you want and allowing in only the "white listed" stuff. It is important to note that it is possible that ANY internet filtering device or software could potentially slow down your trading data if not set up...

    Protesters enter Bear Stearns headquarters

    I thought Hillary already took away 2nd Amendment rights in NY. Either way you might be glad you have that gun eventually.

    Can Options EVer be Excercised Early?

    Talking about options modeling software I found this link in another thread here on ET: <a href="www.samoasky.com">www.samoasky.com</a>. I have DL'ed it and it looks pretty robust and best of all the price tag is $free fifty-free. :D

    IB for daytrading stocks?

    Sadly the platform that I liked best for day trading no longer exists. Cybertrader. I have heard a lot of good things about the Fidelity Active Trader platform but their commissions are a bit high for my taste. The Think or Swim platform is fast enough execution and data wise to day trade with...

    GET THE HELL OUT

    I have been noticing this too. Like the story posted about the FDIC hiring more people to handle bank failures. The data that the FDIC was expecting more failures is over a month old but by regurgitating the same data and adding in that more jobs were created only serves to re-stimulate the...

    Microsoft Manages To Make Visa Worse w/Service Pack 1 Release: Quite A Feat

    First of all nothing will run on Win 3.1 anymore and very little will still run on Win95/98. Second while it is true that every OS that has ever come out did indeed have a larger memory footprint than it's predecessor none had the giant leap in memory consumption that Vista has over XP. Like the...

    Dividend capture with deep ITM calls

    Nope, no one would ever get rich doing it b/c it doesn't happen often enough. It's more like a bonus from your company paid about once per year with just a bit of free gravy money. I like gravy.

    Dividend capture with deep ITM calls

    Actually there is one that I have found and exploited a couple of times. The setup is rare but it does happen. No I will not tell you what it is b/c I don't want this little gem to go away. Luckily the OP is pretty far off track.

    Microsoft Manages To Make Visa Worse w/Service Pack 1 Release: Quite A Feat

    I'll issue this challenge to you. Pick one of your Vista machines, and run some benchmark tests on it. Then reformat the drive and install either XP or Win2k and rerun the same benchmark tests. Then come back and tell us you see no downside to Vista. If you don't want to reformat either...

    Hitting new lows...

    What I mean is you don't need the news. Watch the charts they will tell you everything that the news does in real time and usually before the news does. Not to mention that a majority of the time the news and rumors are either wrong or delayed to the point trying to trade on it has you buying...

    Hitting new lows...

    Here are some personal rules I live by: 1. Learn to eliminate big losses. (Get out before small losses become big losses) Since small losses are offset by small wins , If you can eliminate the big losses, all that will be left are your big wins. 2. NEVER trade on emotions. If you start...
