    Celeron Vs. P4

    I really do greatly appreciate these last two responses. But they are so over my head that I feel like I need at least a SCUBA setup. If not a deep sea diver's rig. I know how to work a computer...I even remember a little DOS, but this stuff? I just really want to know more about XP and...

    Celeron Vs. P4

    Thanks for the input. So scandisk and resources are obsolete. Glad to hear that. And you are exactly right....the right edge does make the page scroll. You should be writing instructions (no one else seems to). My speed says 11mbps, which seems ok...it is as fast as my sons wired cable modem..I...

    Celeron Vs. P4

    Well guys, I made the plunge on Sat.. Bought a Toshiba Satellite 2415-S205. After going store to store, and on line to a few sites like Dell.com, this seemed to be the best deal. $1199 (after $150 rebates) at Circuit City. Machine has 2ghz p4 and dvd/cd burner. 40MB hard drive...

    If you could get ONE certification/degree.....

    i haven't looked back at his posts. but i do remember he was sending me quite a few PM's when I was writing a lot about discipline and simplicity and accountability (back when I used to write about trading and not about the Chit Chat stuff). . He seemed, if I recall to have a great deal of...

    series 55

    I see people asking here for series 55 study material all the time. Well, while doing my once every 5 years cleaning, I found mine. Don't know if it is still worth using. I have heard the test and study materials have changed. This is from INVESTMENT TRAINING INSTITUTE and was published in...

    If you could get ONE certification/degree.....

    I go with this. JD is worthless. I have traded with more lawyers that hated law than any other professionals (too many lawyers I guess, and most of them don't like law). Not too many of them were particularly successful. Certainly no better on average than all the other traders I have worked...

    who watches 24?

    Interesting...I am glad they realized that the amnesia was so weak in last year's story. But overall, I think the show is by far the best network show. Gave a shot to Kingpin....seems to have potential to be pretty good. Hope it is, so I can keep my Sunday and Tuesday only tv schedule...

    Why Did You Trade Csco?

    I agree with the "tight spreads" on CSCO. But when the stock does not move, as is often the case, these tight spreads make for almost impossible trades. If I am paying a 1 cent commission, and the stock is spread in 1/10th of a cent increments (and I have seen even smaller, I guess because the...

    Who Shall We Get Next?

    obviously Candle is trying to have some fun here. And most any distraction from trading can be a "profitable" endeavor more times than not for the majority of us lately. But to address the "poll" just to alleviate my own boredom: Saudi Arabia...too much of a "business partner" now. And...

    What do you do when you take a big hit in the markets?

    I remember my first really big losing day. I was trading at a well known prop firm. I was I think about a 1000 or 2000 share trader doing a lot of overnights. I was loaded up, playing the firm's system. Something happend to make for a disastrous opening against me. I lost about 50k...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    Knowing something.....or maybe "feeling" would be a better word.... No Max, I am not just "finding this out". I just decided that this was an appropriate point to express the sentiment. Obviously, you of all people know that I am quite anti-war. But also, as I am certain you must know...

    POLL: The repercussions of a US attack on Iraq

    This thread has deteriorated from being a poll, associated with a discussion, into a debate. Then from a debate into an ongoing argument. Then from an argument into volleys of verbal confrontation. It's a good thing we are all in our isolated spheres, and not able to escalate the dissension...

    Jokes

    Well, I guess it's easier to be a "self-made millionaire" when you can afford to buy a baseball team for only "under $1mm". Which I believe is not close to the actual number. However, if you check your facts, you may be surprised to find out that the power of having your dad as President...

    Seeing a psychologist

    I worked with a trader that went from great success to dismal failure. He tried psychotherapy. Did not seem to work. He then went to a hypnotist. Said it helped him with his lack of discipline. Wish I could tell you guys if it would have helped or not over a significant period of time...
