    Economy In Crisis

    Why not throw some wood on the fire! I think our economy is doomed fundamentally unless we rein in the spending or raise taxes. That being said this is a confidence game, con game for short. If the consumer stop spending the GDP goes down and then the Asian countries stop buying our...

    X_trader question

    I am trading the same as you with the same platform. I don't think you will find any faster. If you can get your hands on X Trader version 7, so much the better. In fact, if you go to somewhere else another dome let's say it will probably be slower. You might consider getting a dual wan...

    FireFox and Internet explorer

    Opera is ok, I have tried it, but if you don't pay you browser ads, kinda annoying. Firefox works fine for me.

    How do you pay yourself?

    This is a great thread. I have been wondering this myself. Right now, unfortunately, I don't suffer from the problem of excess money in my account, but as I get better at this this challenge will surely present itself.

    Hardware/CPU needed for X-Trader/X-Trader Pro?

    what's going on with real estate?

    Too funny, my wife works for Pulte, but handles mortgages in Ill, not NV. I am sorry, no I am not, but it serves these speculators right. These are the same dummies that bought high in the tech bubble and now want to blame their broker. A savy investor could have driven around...

    Mr Savant, I too live in Colorado, SE Denver Metro. If you want heat and humidity and thunderstorms move to Charolette. My buddy moved there for 2 years and couldn't stand it. He moved back to So Cal, even with the high cost of living. I have been in Denver for 2 years and it's pretty nice...

    SFO Mag - The coming dollar crisis

    The American dollar Fiat money system is based on confidence thats it. Nothing else. I think the end of M3 reporting is the begining of the end. The writing is on the wall. Honestly I am suffering from frozen headlights syndrome, praying gold and the euro will go down so I can dump USD.

    Wellington Trading Group

    If you are looking for an offshore broker, you might want to consider Thales Trading in Panama, do a google search. Their commissions are too high to day trade though. I am interested if anyone else knows of a good offshore broker with a good rep and good commissions?

    switching from cable to DSL

    If Verizon FIOS isn't available consider calling your local phone company and asking if they have, I hope I remember the name correct, FTP Fiber Transer Protocol. It is dedicated high speed to your home. Qwest in Denver is working on deploying it, that's all I know. Also if you are in Texas ...

    TradeMaven/Transact Meltdown

    I am sorry for folks that had TradeMaven TransAct problems. I never used it, but I am switching from X Trader to Ninja Trader with TT data. I have spent a fair amount of time on the demo it is good and they have charts now too.
