    Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro

    BARON-yes you could run Win2K that way but that was not its intended purpose. It was designed to save you from yourself by separating out the administrative functions from user functions. It was really designed for an office environment not home use. Being a Unix user, I found Win2K to be...

    Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro

    Well let me take the other side of this discussion. I used Win2K on a three monitor system and did not like it. A major pain in the butt if you use it as it is supposed to be used with system administration separated from users. Loading software is difficult because you have to do so as the...

    prophetfinance's new JavaCharts

    I have to agree here with what's been said about the accuracy of prophet finances data. I noticed the problem more than a year ago, emailed them several times about it as did a number of other vendors who use their data and gave up.

    News recommendations

    You are right about the first wave of buying coming before the news release. I never understood this, but it is pretty consistent across the market. I 've always wondered where this first wave of buying is coming from. Is it from rumor or leaked information?

    Here is a question that appeared in "Active Trader" Magazine(Aug. 2001, p56) to which an SEC rule 2050 applies: I paraphrase the question as follows: "I recently sold some stock which I had for more than a year and then bought it again and sold it again on the same day. Three weeks later I...
