    is it possible?

    I've got a Dell Latitude D820, it's capable of running 2 monitors. I think this machine's about 3 years old, although I'm not exactly sure of its age.

    Why just there are NOT many female traders?

    When you all figure it out, let me know :p I'd love to have more colleagues. I have found that women more than men tend to follow instructions better in general, think about putting together something, a lot of times the guys will jump right in without reading the instruction but the women...

    Dallas Traders

    Are you single, married, married w/ kids? Where to live's going to vary greatly depending on your criteria. We lived in Allen for 7 years, 1999-2006, and I think of it more as family-centric. Dallas traffic sucks, I've been in more congested traffic (San Jose, northeast), but never such rude...

    S&P daily pivots and break-down & up Targets

    Joe, in one of your videos you mentioned to watch out for the time 9:36 in the market, since a lot of times the market changes directions then (is that right, or am I recalling the time incorrectly?). I was just wondering if there were any other times that that is likely to occur, any time...

    Getting sidetracked while trading...

    Maybe limit your trading to a few hours per day until you've increased your attention span? I don't have the same problem as you, I can stare at the screen without a problem and concentrate, I have external distractions every hour except the opening hour. I've found I'm much better off if I...

    Alternative Fuels May Be Postponed.... Again????

    Hmmm, someone posted in another forum Paulson was investing in land in California. Wonder if these two things are related... Maybe it's not too late.

    Choosing market data from IB

    I also did just the "US Securities and Commodities Bundle Non-professional - Level I" which gets waived every month for me and whatever else was free (why not, it's free). So far, that has been sufficient for me except for a few contracts I was looking at on ICE, then I subscribed to that for a...

    Trading on the Beach

    AMT, in Austin the free wireless the city provides (Zilker Park is included in it, downtown, and also west-central Austin I think) is reliable. My husband used to work from the park quite a bit when we lived there. You guys are making me jealous. I usually only have a couple of hours a day...

    Fnm Fre

    Daal, I think the offering will push the share price down, but I definitely don't think it's going to $0, especially since the government's intention with this bill is to show that they will save Fannie and Freddie when they have to. Unless they just decide to make them totally government...

    Fnm Fre

    I read a good article about "schools of punishment" for the bad behavior of banks last night. I think we're probably heading the way Japan headed, whether we mean to or not: http://www.businessspectator.com.au/bs.nsf/Article/Three-schools-GU3LQ?OpenDocument My take on the bill is like...

    Amazon....

    Sorry, you're right, I was thinking of the free super saver shipping with $25 when I typed $25. Amazon Prime and the super saver shipping are often mentioned by people, especially since they apply even to some of the groceries on Amazon (and diapers).

    How is the SEC 'Experiment' Working??

    I don't see how they can propose this is accurate. The day the SEC puts a rule into account saying no naked short selling allowed, people are going to assume some people are going to stop shorting and might need to cover. Thus, they aren't going to stand in the way of a freight train moving up...

    Congress Pursues $80 Oil With Trading Limits, Disclosure Rules : from Bloomberg

    Is the smart money even still long after the past couple of weeks? Sorry for my ignorance, but does this have the potential to backfire and cause a short squeeze?

    Amazon....

    Apparently, this site's going to update when they figure out how much the $53 million sale of their European DVD rental unit affected Amazon's income this quarter: http://www.paidcontent.org/entry/419-earnings-amazon-q2-revs-up-41-percent-net-income-jumps/ I'm on a few other family...

    How many record consecutive up days has the S&P historically had?

    Looks like 13, but I thought Monday was officially a down day? http://www.themoneyblogs.com/billw/my.blog/spx-consecutive-up-days.html

    What else has trading taught you?

    I'm just feeling grateful today for some reason. Wondering what other good things other people have learned as a result of trading, or points that have been driven home more by trading. One thing I've learned is that time is our real commodity, you can't buy anymore of it. Be thankful and...

    U.S. Lawmakers Reach Deal on Fannie, Freddie Bill

    Are Fannie and Freddie buying up a substantial amount of the loans from the banks, or is this mostly aimed at originating new loans?

    Naked short selling - I thought it was already illegal

    Is there any estimate for the # of shares that have to be bought for these 19 companies for the naked shorts to be covered? Should the short covering be about finished, or should we expect more. I know there's no black and white answer, just wondering if anyone has insight. Seems like at...

    Trader P/L 2008

    I haven't reported in a while, since I realized I was getting competitive, and that isn't good for me right now, it encourages increased risk at a time when I needed to get a handle on my risks. I now have a daily goal and am doing well with that. I think I'm going to report here weekly from...
