    Anyway to recover information after low-level formatting?

    LL format should do the trick, but you can also use wave a large magnet over your drive, and this will eliminate any "disk residue" still left there.

    How About a Depression that Lasts for 20 Years?

    Yeah, unfortunately, this is bound to happen. Of course, we also need to lay some major blame with Bush, who doubled the national debt, got us involved in 2 unwinnable wars, fed our jobs to cheap labor overseas, and just drove our economy into a major ditch. Obama isn't helping a bit, and I...

    6 - 11 million more reposessions to come

    60 Minutes did an expose on this about 3-4 months ago. Their claim was that a large # of ARM's are coming due in the 1st Q of 2010, which will precipitate a major new wave of foreclosures. I would think that with rates at historic lows, this may be mitigated somewhat, but I'm sure the "rate...

    Treasury extends TARP through next Oct.

    Yeah, agreed. Govt is expecting a new fresh wave of foreclosures in Q1, 2010, as many adjustable mortgages will be coming due then, and there will be some up-tick in many mortgage rates, albeit not as severe as expected, given the historical low rates that we are seeing. Nonetheless, this...

    Black Friday

    Stores were definitely not that crowded. You would think that sales are down, unless more people are gravating towards online purchases.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    You're dreaming here ! The government will do, what the government wants to do. Do you remember when they outlawed online Poker back in 2007 with the woefully-crafted UIGEA law, by attaching a 23rd-hour rider to the Ports bill that was destined to pass ?? It wasn't even debated in Congress...

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Let's look at this from high atop the mountain. He are some of my thoughts: - Obama, who purported himself to be anti-Wall Street during his Presidential campaign, was full of crap. He has done next to nothing in terms of Wall Street reform, and still has these Big Boys (Goldman, e.g.) in...

    Join Trading Team MIT

    If your system is so successful, why not just scale up on your trades ? You should be able to increase your income that way. It may not be linear like it would with futures contracts, but you should be able to increase your income by trading with higher lots. As a corollary to the OP, I...

    Emintrader trading system

    No one paid his asking price for his "system", so he flew the coup, and probably headed off to another board looking for sales.

    32% Inflation in UCLA Tuition Causes Near Riots (14 Arrested, 1 Tasered)

    NY will be next; they are in the deep shitter as well. Unrelated to tuition, I just found that my medical Insurance provider here in NY (Empire BCBS) is raising my health insurance premium by 28.5 %, effective January, 2010. This after raising me 17 % this past year. Look for a lot more...

    A peek inside the Health Care Bill

    This quote sounds like our current healthcare labyrnth and nightmare.........P.S., I live in NY, and am self-employed, and have a Small Group Plan, with Empire BCBS. Well, these fuckers raised my premiums 17 % this past January, and I was just informed that they are raising me another 28.5 % in...

    tax sick

    Although I get your point, your logic is a little off here. First, at $ 100K, your FED tax rate wouldn't be close to 45 %, the proposed top rate. Also, I don't think Sales Tax and VAT would co-exist like this. Property Tax can be even higher, like in NY, where I live. I get your point, but...

    Spitzer: Federal Reserve is ‘a Ponzi scheme, an inside job’

    I think Spitzer ought to worry about keeping his rocket in his pocket, rather than analyzing and evaluating our system. He might be right in what he says here, but his credibility is total shit.

    The next bubble is about to descend

    All the writing is on the wall.......new foreclosures will hit the market in 2010, as a slew of ARM's "come due"....unemployment, stated to be 10+ %, is actually more like 16-17 %, and will continue to dampen the economy.....the first-time homebuyer credit will peter out, and the bubble will...

    norton delete software

    Slightly off-topic here, I deleted Norton Anti-Virus 2006 off my system several days ago (it took about 5 mins, BTW). I had continuous problems with CCEVTMGR and SPBBCSVC processes taking up to 90 % of my CPU at times, forcing a daily reboot of my machine. I belong to Cablevision in NY, and...

    34 million Americans are currently unemployed

    We are due for a massive correction. At some point, market will adjust, realizing that 6 months from now, things will be worse than they are today. Ever hear of irrational exhuberance ?
