Why do you order it from CyberPowerSystems? I'd choose the best parts from newegg and build by myself. The manual that comes with mother board will tell you how to assemble it. Pretty easy.

It's nice to have a latest computer. Why do you need a Raptor hard drive? A 7200 rpm drive may be quieter and cooler. I think everything is loaded into memory in real time trading. HD speed is not important. I'm more concerned about noise. I'd choose fanless mother board and video card.

Day trading IRA is a wide spread practice in the industry. If it is illegal, all of them should be banned. IRS cannot just pick on the big traders, and let go the smaller ones. You can challenge IRS in court if you become their target. But based on takenoprisoners' posts in the other thread...

Didn't you believe takenoprisoners' words? He was audited by IRS and paid the penalty. Please post all the IRA discussion to the IRA thread, this one is intended for laptops.

Could we move the discussion to the thread: Tax problem with daytrading futures in Roth IRA? It's off from laptop topic here. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=55998&highlight=Roth+IRA

So you mean if you trade successfully and frequently in an Roth IRA account, you will be pursued by IRS for tax?

Look at the 2nd question of the following page: http://www.bls.gov/cps/cps_htgm.htm Unemployment rate is not based on the number of persons filing claims for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.

If outsourcing can make middle class disappear, why the unemployment rate and the personal income report doesn't change dramatically?

You need to consider the question: Will the retirement home be more expensive or less expensive than the current home? Years ago I was looking at below 20k condos in Florida but was told it's only for retirees. If many boomers live in those cheap condos, that will create a negative impact on...

I disagree. In the computer industry, only low level jobs are exported. You can't get access to global market while keeping all the jobs domestic. That's the price you have to pay.

I don't think foreign ownership of US business is a problem. If 30% of a company's profit comes from outside US, then 30% foreign owership is normal. What can really cause crisis is the national debt. What would the government do when the borrowing limit is reached?

Bond futures have low volatility recently, could anyone explain this?

You can not make your trading/investing business go public. You cannot sell yourself.

Is the free X_trader introductory offer? Monthly fee thereafter? I currently use PATS with GHCO and Global. I'm going to transfer to RCG, which offers more exchanges for CQG. Have you ever considered CQG?

How about the time zone? It's 14 hrs between Tokyo and EST.

How about new homes? Can you buy a new home from a builder without an agent?

So how can the agency work like a monopoly? If they charge 6%, you can easily beat them by charging 3%. Competition would drive the commission down to minimal.

Marketwatch did a interview with Zillow's founder. If his dream would come true, we might pay as less commission in real estate as buying stocks online. It doesn't make sense to me to pay a high commission even for a new home.

Onyx looks quite similar to j-trader, except for more order types like bracket, trailing stop which I don't need. I'd probably stick with J-trader, has RCG improved J-trader's reliability recently?

I'm going to open an account with RCG. I'll use CQG as platform with J-trader as backup. I've seen bad words about RCG's J-trader, could any RCG users give me some input? Thanks.
