Equilibrium is not what people can pay for housing, its what they WANT to pay for housing. You want to get to equilibrium? RAISE INTEREST RATES!

Why doesn't CNBC pick it up? Its way better than watching Suze "Fat Ass" Orman and Donny Douchebag.

How about a 15% consumption tax on politicians? Private Jets, food, booze, drugs, hookers, car service, breast augmentation (Pelosi) etc. Not only would we raise enough to pay off the national debt, these clowns would never re-run for office! BTW, why does the POTUS need to make $400K? Is...

The problem here is that you are asking the wrong question. Rather than seeking to find a mentor, you should be seeking to be someone's apprentice. The question isn't what can you do for me, it is what can I do for you? Any trader who makes bank does not need to waste his time or have you pay...

Battery on laptop is good, but you still need the UPS to maintain internet connectivity. If you have an aircard you may be OK, but sometimes the airwaves get blocked due to increased cell use. During the blackouts of 2004?, I couldn't get cell service. Having a UPS is a good idea because its...

Credit Suisse did that. A friend of mine who is an MD there said while his cash bonus was less than he would have liked, he received participation in a pool of toxic assets. He likened it to a lotto ticket. What they did though, was give a dollar equivilent at current CDO/CDS marks. So in...

I'll tell ya what's going to be more valuable than gold..... lead. As in bullets.

Load balancing routers (dual wan) allow you to connect 2 different internet connections (say dsl & cable) to your system. If one connection goes down, you still have internet. They also provide increased internet speeds through redundancy and "balance" internet traffic, utilizing the most...

1. Computer with enough RAM not 2 freeze up 2. UPS with battery backup 3. dual interent connection ( cable, dsl) with load balancing capability

Wow. 1:1 reward/risk. Thats money manager material.

The ONLY way to encourage people to save is to RAISE interest rates. The reason the banks are so screwed is because nobody uses them any longer. They put all of their savings into their homes. therefore the banks don't have money to lend, which is why they had to leverage so much. If interest...

Raise interest rates aggressively. One massive flush.

they RAISED interest rates? Hear me out. I'm contrarian by nature just because I'm an insufferable prick so when EVERYONE and their brother claims we need low interest rates and a stimulous package, I tend to think the opposite may be true. I believe that deflation can be a good thing. The...

Worse or better than Vista?

Is there a 64 bit version of windows XP that one could use with the i7 core to maximize the 6GB (3 x 2GB) memory or is that a complete waste?

Yes. It means you have low latency.

I agree Steve. If you look at my current numbers thru time warner roadrunner, my ping speed is at 375ms, which tells me that the latency is rather high. Do you know if there is any way for me to reduce this? Is it possible via my end or simply a problem with my ISP? Would love to know. thx.

Yeah I have looked into fios. Unfortunately it is not available in my area yet. But it looks like it is going to blow away all of these connections 50Mbps DL/ 20 Mbps UL. I also have regular verizon DSL and called them after posting to find out about Fios, speeds, etc. The phone sales guy was...

Thats exactly what I thought. I'm in NYC, and this is the most recent version of roadrunner from timewarner. What do you have forsale? Also, the ping speed shows latency and that upload speed is deplorable. Which is more important for trading? Its nice that I get my quotes so fast, but I may...

Sorry don't know how to copy the image in for my sppedtest, but my results are rather strange. download: 34697 kb/s upload: 437 kb/s ping: 375 ms server: NY, NY Why such the discrepency? I just ordered roadrunner this week to increase my speed from dsl but quite frankly the difference...
