Earnings announcements aren't until Thurseday after the bell according to their website: http://www.marvell.com/investors/events.jsp

The order form seemed to work for me. Thank you for the 20% discount! Looking forward to reading the book.

I too used Visual Studio 2003 with XP Service Pack 2. He sold you a Visual Studio 2003 upgrade, not a stand alone version of Visual Studio 2003. Period. That is yoru problem. I haven't done this, but anything you can make with Visual Studio 2003, you can do with 2005 as well. Probably...

For awhile, I'd short a small amount of shares into the runup after hours that seemed to be going up "too high", and then cover the next day. I started doing this about a month before he appeared on 60 minutes. I think I did it maybe a dozen times tops. It seemed like it was working ok, as I...

I don't know if this guy is for real or not, but seriously what were all of you guys who thing that this story is so incredible doing in the 90's? This makes me think a lot of the people on EliteTrade are much MUCH younger than they let on. This story is not that incredible. Almost everyone...

You are correct. The reason for expressing the historical volatility as an annual volatility is so that it can be plugged into the standard form of the Black-Scholes Equation. This makes the units work out correctly. Otherwise, just use whatever time frame is most convenient for your purposes.

What time frame are you trading when you leg your flies? What I mean is, when you leg a fly for a credit or low debit do you usually complete the fly in less than one trading day, or do you buy the wings and maybe spend several days trying to sell the bodies? If you are unable to complete...

One of Google's founders may be from Russia, but it isn't coincidence that they wrote the original Google search engine technology at an American university (Stanford), instead of a Russian one. The American system fosters and rewards creativity and original thinking. Wasn't the purpose of...

The title of this thread should be "the top programmers at solving puzzles in contests live in Eastern Europe". The top programmers who write software to make money still live in the good ol' US of A. When I see an Eastern European Google, E-bay, Microsoft, etc...maybe I'll change my opinion...

FWIW, I think you're on the right track. Ignore people who say you are too diversified. I traded the same way you are, for about 7 to 9 months and generally did "ok". The nice thing about selling credit spreads over a diverse range of stocks is that even if your stock selection strategy has a...

I think the McMillan Book (Options as a Strategic Investment) is the best introductory text. Not only is it very basic but it's very thorough too. I'd read that before Natenburg. Another idea for an introduction might be "The Options Workbook".

Yeah, this is happening to me on and off today.

I actually think options could be easier for beginners. The most important thing to do when you are a beginner is to limit your risk and diversify. These things are much easier to do with options than with the underlying, especially if you have a small account. The problem is most beginners...

A higher rate of return reflects a higher amount of risk. If your comfortable with that higher risk then by all means send all of your money to a bank in Sri-Lanka.

Yeah, I heard it too. I had assumed I didn't hear him correctly. I guess not.

Only if we want to take away the incentive for oil companies to invest in new capacity. Excess profits are what encourage oil companies to take the risks and invest in finding new sources of oil. Taxing the "excess" profits will virtually assure that oil prices will continue higher into the...

Software Development is probably one of the few fields where this is possible. One great programmer can easily be worth a dozen average programmers in terms of actual productivity. (Great programmers almost never work in IT departments btw.)

I don't know what the context of this quote was but it made me laugh. This is EXACTLY what I said to myself when I chose to move from Northwest Portland to San Diego. It doesn't surprise me that the whiny article that started this post came out of Portland. The problems of the Portland...

(1) Make it possible to see the options greeks right there on the same line as an option quote. It would be nice if we didn't have to open the Portfolio Analytics to see the option's greeks on an option contract. (2) I really like the idea someone had of being able to see a real-time...

I have the same problem. I'm slowly re-implementing most of my stuff to use SOAP web-services. Eventually my plan is to just host the data on my own server at home using my cable-modem connection, and then have my software access the data via the web services. That way whenever I travel my...
