This isn't related to trading hardware, but for anyone who works or lives near a telephone...you might want to take a look. http://intelescreener.com/index.html I just bought one recently after getting tired of paying the phone company extortion fees for Privacy Manager...and STILL getting...

He wrote My life has been a failure.....My life has been a failure..... over and over.

In spite of the fact that his son (Jesse Jr.) was a complete f*#k up, I think he had a pretty good insight into why his father's trading success declined in later years. He said that he thought his father was at his best when he was following a specific set of trading rules that he had...

I think I found the answer to my own question: http://www.greencompany.com/EducationCenter/GTTRecCurrency.shtml -------------------------------------------------------------------------- IRC § 988 does not affect RFCs on currencies: Currency traders who trade RFCs are not affected by...

I am trading some CME currency futures (all settled in US dollars) and I am wondering if these transactions are subject to the separate reporting requirements of IRS Sec. 988, or if the gains and losses can be lumped together with other financial futures like stock indexes and bonds. Thanks...

I downgraded to Build 817 after losing pages, etc., and I have no plans to upgrade again until I see at least a month without major error reports. It seems the TWS developers took a wrong turn somewhere around Build 818, and they're not out of the woods yet. saxon

hehe..."Jim Cramered", eh... Must have been a headlock and a full body slam! (I always thought that guy would make a better announcer for the WWF than for Wall Street). Chin up, lad. Time is on your side. See you sometime soon. saxon

Thanks, Kempo. You're right, the prices have gone up, especially for Babcock's book. Only a secondary market now for that one; and one guy linked to Amazon is offering a copy for $300!! I ordered a new copy for $85. If it's as good as everyone says, it will be well worth it. Lord knows...

hypostomus (or anyboby), What are the titles of these books you speak of? Thanks, saxon

Someone who is suicidally depressed could probably be induced to commit suicide by almost anything.... being on the lookout for an inducement anyway. Even listening to Lawrence Welk might do it!! (Not so hard to imagine). :) saxon

Hey Joe! Thought you had disappeared off the planet or something. Glad to see you back. I won't be able to make it tomorrow, but I will add the Bergoff and Poag Mahone's to the list of nominations since you suggested (or endorsed) those previously. Hope everything went well in...

I read somewhere that playing Mozart helps plants to grow. :)

Hmm...let me see... $100K...divided by 1410...divided by 20... That's about 3 1/2 NQ's. (yawn...)

Thanks, Pro. Never been there, but sounds like a cool spot in the summer (if it's not too formal). I'm thinking we could let the suggestions keep coming until the end of March, then have a vote. After that, April 16 @ 5:00pm somewhere might be a good date for a first regular Friday...

Thanks for the suggestion, Gann. I'll add Venice Cafe to the list, and at the end of the month, I'll PM everyone who showed interest in this with the list of nominations, and you can vote for your top 3 choices for a regular spot. The place that gets the most votes among the top 3 will be the...

It's ET!!! No, it's a mere planetoid. This news came out 2 weeks ago. Hardly a market mover. Sorry...

Will do, C. Hey...anybody seen Joe Titzer? Maybe he's still in Cameroon. saxon

Who told you about this??? I think I am being watched. :)

Thanks for the suggestion, Sioux. Never been to the Martini Bar. Have to check it out soon. All suggestions and nominations for a suitable Friday afternoon regular meeting spot for the Chicago ET Club are welcome on this thread. Try to focus on places that also serve food. My "vision"...
