    CSCO will save the day, GM well just ignor that

    i was thinking the opposite, although I was also thinking they would rob sales for next Q since I think they are setting up for a monster miss next Q. Why? Because their CEO is the ultimate fade indicator. Usually 2Q's after he says how great things are is when things usually fall apart. Maybe...

    Oil demand is nearly inelastic

    Probably, but I think its far more psychological. Its the pain at the pump, I always over emphasize how much it is costing me.. maybe an extra $500 or $1000 not much, but it seems like its far more when your pumping gas :)

    Oil demand is nearly inelastic

    i disagree. I think oil IS elastic. People will carpool, telecommute, move closer to work. Plus alternate forms of energy become viable. On top of that. gov'ts will be forced to create better public transportation. Maybe we could outlaw hummers :)

    dsl upload speed

    because kb (kilobit) is different than KB (kilobyte). You should have 256 or 384k up, They dont sell 323k. But suppose you do. 323 /8 = 40Kb upload max. (8 bits in a byte). You probably have 384k up, with overhead effectively 323kb -> about 40Kb. Its working correctly.

    Schindler Trading up 17% YTD

    so, after everyone is done hugging aaron's nuts, maybe this was expected in his strategy. Since no of us know what it is, perhaps there is a 1...2...5% chance of this occurring, or perhaps its a black swan type event. How do you know he'll recover? How do =YOU= know this wasn't an...

    New Bug in IB Software

    I forgot to mention that the only way to know if this is fixed in newer TWS is to call IB and ask their tech support, its not documented and therefore no "official fix" is being released. OTC traders beware!

    New Bug in IB Software

    Timothy Sykes Unveils New Type of Fund

    Reading parts of this thread, if people here put 10% of the amount of passion and effort into whatever it is they want to succeed with, they probably would. How many times are you going to bash this guy in how many threads? Whether it is luck or skill (I suppose he is showing it is skill)...

    Aren't you the one who bashed me some time ago when IB did the same to me when I was long 60 YM and you told me to STFU and deal with it because the commissions are ridiculously cheap and you launched in to your OldTrader dialtribe about how high commissions used to be... Its wierd how the...
