    How Big Of A PSU Is Needed For A Trading Computer?

    Thanks guys, some things I hadn't thought of/factored in. I would actually be using a SSD with a single [platter] HDD possibly to be added later Also 3x 120mm fans. Looks like it would be better to spend the money overspeccing in terms of wattage and maybe also brand as a cost of $100...

    Hedge Fund Returns for 2010

    My thoughts on Rentech: Something does'nt add up. They have a fund you can't invest in that produces stellar returns and funds you can invest in that don't. Hmmmmmm Especially interesting as the fund you can't invest in (and thus not subject to audit?) compounding at 30% still seems able to...

    ADD/ADHD traders

    Great thread. I would endorse the first 96 pages of The Da Vinci method. Also, IMO ADD does exist as a separate entity from not being able to focus on boring stuff. Sometimes I am unable to structure a document for weeks and then the fog clears and I can do it in minutes, and then I can go...

    Did anyone ever come out with a method or program that allows you to upgrade from XP 32 to Win 7 64 bit and keep all your installed programs and their settings as functional? Vague memories of some program that allowed you to do something like this (maybe with the use of another HDD) Was...

    The insanity of European property markets

    If I remember there was no post crash property crash in Japan because the banks colluded. In Thailand post '97 this was definitely the case. Just throwing out the possibility for discussion that this could happen in Europe maybe and perhaps even more likely in UK where you have a very small...

    Considering starting a small hedge fund good idea? bad idea? advice?

    While the way to make money can be identified the actual implementation is etheral. There are very few warren Buffets. J. Paul getty gives one of the most concise explanations how to make money in stocks but judgement is required. I was alluding to all the literally thousands of newly formed...

    Nationwide French protest over right to retire at age 60

    So much for those childrens stories where good always triumphs over evil. So much for this silly idea that money doesn't matter - seems they forgot that the people with the money can buy the politicians.
