    What can you get for $1

    If you click on the paypal link, it looks fairly legit, but you never know. It could be sending you to some bogus service that will just grab your paypal and/or credit card info. If you feel you need to send him $1, please do it by going directly to paypal rather than going through his link...

    What can you get for $1

    I'm guessing you'll get the same level of expertise and quality that he put in to his web design, plus it sounds like he used the standard infomercial template: "I was a failure just like you...everybody I knew was a failure. So I applied myself every waking second and now I'm considered an...

    Lotto mania: Jackpot up to $540 million.

    This is a better way to play. Basically the same return for less effort. http://cockeyed.com/citizen/poker/lottery_simulator100.php The thing that I find rather ironic is that if one could design a system with the expected return of this lottery, one wouldn't need to play the lottery! :)

    Forget the mortgage, consumers pay car loan first

    That depends. I got 0% over 5 years because of the dealer benefit to employees of my wife's company. I guess if you negotiate down a sweet deal for cash, but if not, why fork out the dough all at once?

    Tax Greedy?

    The green color is fine, but lose that texture. It looks like the inside of some fast food container that went bad. :)

    Trading calls on a strong stock

    FOSL has some wider spreads, but if you don't want to limit your upside yet not get killed if it plummets and can work them a bit, you could try a call ratio backspread. For example, the June 135 is trading at 8.6 / 9.0 and the June 145 is 4.8 / 5.0, so you put the trade on for a debit of...

    DDE hangs Excel with Windows 7

    I've had the same issue and I've never installed Chrome on my machine. In fact, up until recently, the DDE worked with Office 2010 just fine. Is there a way to roll back TOS to see if it was a TOS update that caused the problems?

    long calls - always roll up?

    cons: eat the spread, which has probably widened considerably.

    Would you dump your trading method...

    Without even going in to the: "if-it-were-real-Goldman-would-buy-you-out" thing, you must know that as soon as you post anything even approaching those numbers, you can't even mouth the word "simulated" and maintain credibility. IF you were in possession of such a system, why not just attach a...

    Best options strategy to avoid time decay?

    I tend to think of how to protect myself first, so I would probably buy a long term vertical and leverage based on how much account risk. Let's say you think AAPL will be up by 25% by 2014 and you are willing to risk 10% of your cash. You could buy a 685 Call for $78.40 and sell a 740 Call...

    As for the (proposed) 45% dividend tax, what does it matter if the shares are in a tax advantaged account?

    Best options strategy to avoid time decay?

    Roll or sell your long options within 30-90 days of expiration. With options that far out, you are more likely to get damaged by a drop in volatility or large change in the share price.
