You're at least partly correct. :)

So this SEC interpretation looks like goes into effect November 21 and seems to specifically focus (at least my read of it) on non-standard married puts used by trading firms where they're really just washing positions between the client book and the firm book at the end of the day as part of...

Check your router's config. Most NAT routers now are configurable so you can purposely open certain ports/protocols and automatically route inbound requests to a specific internal IP address (essentially exposing that machine to the outside world). If you have any openings in your router's...

No and No. They each periodically initiate outbound connections to check for updates. They are not dependent on unsoliciated inbound messages (they wouldn't know your IP address to do so anyway). If you're using a NAT router, you really don't need a separate firewall. The only reason for...

It would seem that either you're using only an 8 bar frame restricted to candle body only or you've got something wrong in your calculation (assuming you're looking at a daily timeframe). If you're talking about today's (Friday's) price reaction - don't forget that today's high and low were...

Any of the various datafeeds or Java based streaming chart services will give you that. Or are you asking for FREE realtime charts? In which case you might still be able to get free index charts from quote.com's livecharts. But that would only be the cash indices - don't believe there are...

Ahh, but does Kobe live in New Hampshire??

The value of the dollar (or most currencies) seems to have little to do with the amount of metal stored in a vault anymore. Anymore than the value of diamonds has to due with their rarity (diamonds are actually very common - DeBeers's monopoly and hording keeps market supply controlled and...

To each their own - that's why there are choices - I prefer the accupoint to touchpads. But that's why different manufacturers use different mechanics. If they get to where they can offer the tablet convertables with P4Ms and in an ultraportable profile, that'd probably be my new preference...

I think they said the sager was 17" (1600x1200) and the HP mentioned earlier, but they're 13-14 pound bricks. You can get a 15" version from Toshiba with that high res with a 2.2GHz P4M processor and up to 1GB RAM that also has external display resolution of up to 2048x1536 that weighs less...

Gordon - you're confusing perception with reality. While some might rightly argue that at least in certain affairs perception is reality (as in public impressions), that's a different issue. Just because you're color blind doesn't turn that red car into a gray car. Not seeing the beer...

If you indeed NEED all those windows open simultaneously, then screen real estate is the issue - not CPU. All of that software and all those active windows will run very comfortably on a 1GHz/1GB machine - that was the point - trading software doesn't necessitate a portable teraflop machine...

It only happens about 2% of the time, usually they're either purchased on the black market, stolen from a cop (in San Francisco, New York, or Minneapolis), or stolen from a sex toy store. When will these guys learn to keep their dildos in a safe when they're not in direct control of them...

Did the customer buy the units FROM you or HP (or an HP vendor)? Did the customer know you were personally scoring two free units plus a deep discount on a third (seeing how the customer was actually paying for it indirectly)?

Haven't look at P&F for a long time, but maybe it's because that when price hits a high of 1050, that's a box starting at 1049.50 (using box size of 0.50) - the box from 1050-1050.50 might not be drawn unless price actually exceeded 1050. If so, then you'd need probably need a drop to 1049 to...

Wow, if Cramer's bullish - might be a good time to buy index puts :) Of course, he might get this one right - look at all those CMGI nuts who kept buying every dip as the stock slid from $200 - they kept saying "this is the bottom" every time they bought more (you know, they were just...

China's got their own agenda, part of which seems to include keeping the India/Pakistan standoff going. China and Russia have also been supportive of Pakistan over the long standing Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan.

1. If the USB version isn't noted on the PC near the USB slots and it's not specified when you look at the USB controller in the Windows Device Manager, then you'd have to check your PC's user guide or product specs. 2. Devices are usually backward compatible, but unlike to be forward...

In the future - be sure to uncheck the "Email Notification" option when you post if you don' t want to get all those emails. BTW, Baron, it would be nice if the default was for that checkbox to be UNchecked.

Definitely an argument for that.
