    Why am I doing better in the afternoon?

    Heya Peeps, I'm hoping that you can help me to understand myself a bit. Lately I've been really struggling in the morning. Getting into the red; just reading things the wrong way. In the afternoon, however, I seem to be able to claw my way back in. Is there such a thing as a morning vs...

    T and VZ pair, earnings question

    It's a red herring. They're trying to distract from the upcoming earnings. Can we add "People Familiar with the Matter" to that list?

    T and VZ pair, earnings question

    Wow... big volume spike and price swing just now. Maybe they read this thread? :D Some news about a Time Warner takeover... probably just a smokescreen... trying to shake out the weak. Why would they release this at 3:45pm? I am not moving. I tried and tried... my mind says sell, but my heart...

    T and VZ pair, earnings question

    VZ announced today. They beat by 0.02, but weak forward and down YOY, and a Boarish price holding steady at minus 3% from yesterday's close. The market is displeased. AT&T announces earnings on Tuesday 10/25. My thinking is, there's no shortage of demand for Communications services; it's...

    How to find stocks with smooth trends

    What we're talking about is intraday volatility. You have to quantify what you mean by "super choppy." In what time frame? If from 10-11am the standard deviation is, say, $0.25, would you call that "super-choppy?" For SIRI, that's super-choppy; for FB, that typical, and some would even call it...

    How to find stocks with smooth trends

    I'm looking for the same types of things. At this point, I'm manually scanning my watchlist. I plan to write an algo to do this shortly. Who's your broker? Maybe you could beta test it if you're interested.

    Gaming Chairs

    Good question. I've often thought of this myself. After trying out dozens and dozens of chairs through the years, I've settled on a simple, stiff-backed chair. Padded, but not too heavily. Not swiveling, no wheels... just four legs, like in the good ole' days. I find that if I keep my core...

    Sad Relationship Story

    1. She is attractive, for a 65-year old woman. 2. She is still married. Perhaps to the wrong man, but still is. 3. I am not young. 4. No, she can't cook. That's why she's always at the diner eating, which is indirectly why I met her.

    Sad Relationship Story

    Thanks Baron. It was a tough story to hear... it was one of those where all I could do was sit and listen as, with tears in her eyes, she told the story of how her life played out. I was surprised that she opened up to me like this. I've just been chatting about the weather and other mundane...

    Dell T7500 Server/Workstation - Input Needed

    Also consider building your own rig. At a minimum, learn how to swap out some components: hard drive, power supply, vid card, etc. If something starts acting up, you'll have a better idea of what's wrong. In addition, you can swap out older stuff for newer/faster/better components in as you...
