And being Gump he would not have been concerned when they were on the verge of going under when all the Claris architects (application division) left because they basically took their stock options away and MSFT has to stake them, I think 140Mil. I wonder what happened to that investment for MSFT?.

Yes right here. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/pages/hall-of-fame/ I was here when ET was a kinder gentler place, IMO. Maybe start with this one as a "survey" type thread. https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/lessons-learned.7386/page-3 If one read all those thread, it would be a great...

The initial post comes under the heading: "non-actionable" information. Sorry OP. Things ALWAYS go UP, DOWN or SIDEWAYS. (or delisted!) While one is "being careful" there have been A LOT of good bidirectional trades. Probably more than a single directional trade. And one was possible...

He could speak in smoke signals and his points would still have value.

Lindq is correct. This is one of the "things against you" that one has to overcome in the market: Spreads and Fills. By default you start on the disadvantaged side.

Total Bummer!!!! Perhaps the additional warning is stay away from: Low volume stocks too. This happens. Margin too. Margin calls are a "Bad Badness", IMO Also Stop orders are there to use. Setting them WELL before a margin call is prudent. Also it is not as if someone at IB "did this"...

It is sort of interesting people think a desktop is not overkill but a powerful laptop is. In any case, I think the best part is not dealing with maintaining a backup power supply and redundant internet connection. Those UPS things are huge and are an added cost and they barley run the...

It is always reported in the standard reports. Along with the number of shares, the float. It is the shares held by institutions. Here is a link to Apple: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/holders. Give you an idea how much is in play and which players are involved. Insiders are...

Very cool. One could be interested, in the total amount over a period, say 30 days or what the total is for that company (all officers e.g.) of a period. Also one usually checks the institutional holdings information.

A lot of trades or a lot of leverage, or both. Either way seems like a bit of a mismatch. Akin to driving too fast in a car not built for it or too fast in poor road-weather conditions. It is possible, but not advised. In other words, one can still get to their destination, but just not so...

They should get a pro mountain biker, pro snowboarder, pro gamer to be examples of people who do it. Seem like a good demographic cross over.

Boy that index seems more like a "where it is going" play. There are some stocks that are basically US companies that trade on the SUB-Toronto Venture exchange, known as PURE. What they do is buy, e.g. a defunct mining company, on a Canadian exchange. Then repurpose it on PURE. Then they...

Very cool about the CDNs. Critical piece.

I like the stacks of cash and the Asian gal. Where is the appropriate BLING? I am not sure what it should be? It pretty funny if you have ever tried to get over 10K in cash from a bank, never mind 100K in cash. I would like to see those notes they use for inter bank transfers. I think they...

An aggregator. It is almost as if a UI element could be a slider that immediately, widens or narrows the results. Of course that "slider" could do a ton of smart things. I do like those multidimensional spider web style search UIs, but they need to be less "down the worm hole" in their usage.

Ancient stuff. Adobe Illustrator 1.0, Photoshop 1.0, Windows 3.1. Word for Windows 2.0 Last project was what became MSFT's web server. I was a Test Manager, so I designed stuff that was robust and worked in all expected conditions. Funny story, I have a friend who, might be able to claim to...

I tend to like high build quality, so 1K is pretty low. I would check out the ASUS line. They run the AMD chips and that will help reduce costs, but they do tend to run a bit hot. You don't even need a dedicated GPU really. On the other hand, I would just consider the other parts lasting...

I see many people are asking about machines. I though I would share some thoughts. I have built machines, bought servers, and done a lot. My first PC was and IBM AT. Now 35 years later here is what I have and why I love it. MSI GT75 Gamming Laptop with an i7 and an RTX 2070, and Samsung Pro...

It is almost as if it could be after the fact. I.e. an index moving is the filter to find the news event that should be reported. You would have about 5 seconds to find and report to make it useful. Any faster is not being that useful for the people who you are targeting; because the ones...

Seriously! We are bouncing right now. We shall see. Tomorrow is a LONG ways off.
