I have some DMSO sitting for the last couple of years. Tried to get the wife to try it for her chronic pains, but it made her itch so bad it just sits there now. It's supposed to work wonders on areas of chronic pain. I think it does work, but the directions of treatment weren't followed.

You are making my point. I would never move to some cheap mid west city because it's cheap because I know it's relative and there is often a reason why things cost what they do. Housing on the coast costs what is does because people would rather be there than Iowa. The ocean view from Corona Del...

The Europeans I know that own homes are almost all multi-generational living situations, but that comprises a small percentage of people in Europe, as most live in flats. The other thing I have personally experience in Europe is homes are built much better ( concrete/brick ), much better...

I disagree. I know a lot of Europeans and am married to one. I grew up in OC, CA so I can speak to both points. Europeans, due to high taxes, and a focus on vacation rather than material items/how much money do you make mainly live in apts. Those flats are not shared by multi generational...

True and while housing is dirt cheap in Iowa, the jobs also pay less than in NY or CA so it's all relative.

It will happen just not in our lifetimes' most likely.

You are a smart guy like I. I have spent extensive time in Europe. If you ever expat to Europe make sure it is country that has good social service because of your condition you mentioned before. Those countries are higher tax ( Scandinavian,Germany, England ), but I can tell you first...

I am all for flat tax, but there are so many with a vested interest in that never going forward. Think of how many lawyer, accountants, CPA's, and business that are rich off the dysfunctional tax system we have.

Its actually negative sum when you consider commissions and slippage unless you are some BSD that trades member rates which very few on this forum are.

Oh didn't realize you were running laptop. The avg latop HD runs at 5400 RPM so going to SSD is going to be a big improvement. My buddy that has many rigs for trading is hard core techie has blown up every SSD he has used except for Intel but I suspect that because he overclocks to the max. But...

Hey no problem please report back what you find. I have never tried it but I did try Win 7 on my XP puter and it was dog slow. You should see my Win 8 rig it uses 12-14% RAM just idle and that's with 12 gigs of RAM and a fresh reformat. Win 8 is a joke as it stands.

That really is the way to go white list the apps for trading computer only then there is no need for antivirus at all and put yourself behind a router with NAT and SPI firewall good to go. I run plenty of security on my computer on the XP machine with light apps running in the background not...

You will need more than just an SSD to go to Win7 you need a faster processor and a whole lot more RAM. Don't do it on a puter built for XP bad idea. By the time you upgrade you could just buy a Win 8 machine make sure it's backwards compatible to Win 7, check the drivers, and go that route. I...

I would put the SAS against any of the best operators in the world. I have known Navy Seals whom I went to school with and met a Army Ranger now trader and from what I have seen and read, there are 3 real bad ass military units. SAS, Green Beret/Delta ( which were modeled after the SAS ) and the...

Thanks good article.

Interesting perspective never looked at it that way.

Yeah that's good advice. What I found is rents are so high in Denver its one of the cities where it makes more sense to buy rather than rent. Read stats that rental vacancy is 4% here with rents going up 10% a year. What makes sense is renting from a private owner townhouse or high rise, we...

Just curious have a link. I was just going off what I heard on CNBC about a month ago, but we all know CNBC is no Bloomberg.

I have chronic insomnia, and apts. in America in my price range are built like shit. I don't want to hear neighbors yelling and banging at 2AM. I would probably beat them. For me to live in apt it would need solid concrete in the floor and double wall sound buffer. The only place I have see in...

I agree and look at Greek austerity measures don't seem to be working to well either. I don't believe anyone has an answer. I believe every G-20 save Canada, Australia, and Brazil ( with the Olympics ) is insolvent but will never admit so they just keep printing hoping for the economic cycle...
