The insider trading aspect seems pretty obvious, although apparently prosecutors didn't think they had enough to lock it down in court - so they hit her with related charges (which is a typical prosecutorial tactic). But frankly, the whole thing seems stupid. The combination of...

Obviously there are still some bugs in the process - the "beyond weird" guy has a pretty detailed memory of procedures and devices that were supposedly erasing his memory and personality. Although, maybe they did finally perfect the process. Jacques Chirac and John Kerry were probably run...

FYI - if you're printer driver has a halftone color adjustment option (if it's there, you usually have to click the Advanced button on the Layout tab) it will open a control panel where one of the options is "Negative". Checking it will invert the color rendering. It's also useful for...

I remember one or two threads about them some time ago - I believe the concensus was they were BS But try doing a search of the ET archives - you'll have to working your way through unrelated posts that say "international traders" though Good luck.

Are there really "Market Makers" in SSF's in the same sense as they are on Nasdaq? Or are there just firms that are trying to "make" markets in them? Difference would be that in the latter, they have no obligation to take specific action to narrow the spread. They're just there to trade them...

On a bubble chart, the bubble is plotted like a scatter diagram using X and Y and the size of the bubble is derived from the third variable. Use the Excel chart wizard to initially configure it. We used to even do 4D bubble charts using color to encode the 4th value. Bubbles work if you...

You can use a bubble chart (which is designed to plot 3 variables - the usual X and Y and the third value is used to size the bubble). A 3-D scatter chart would also work - unfortunately, I don't think Excel has a 3D scatter option.

So they've got a PENILE System in France instead of a penal system.

He should go - he's 26 years old and still living with Mom & Dad anyway. The poor schlub is going to be the new "agony of defeat" clip for years to come.

Geez, I told my wife all along that we should have been selling those tickets all along. Front row tix were going for $1500-2000 (or more) a piece. Could have had $6-8K/game through the two playoff series (plus another $4K for the 8 extra grandstand tix they allocated us). But noooooo, she...

If you're talking about the SSF - it's not a $40 STOCK. It's a future contract on a $40 stock - which isn't the same thing. If there's low volume, you should expect wide spreads - even if the underlying stock has narrow spreads. They keep talking about "record" volume on SSFs - but...

An interesting point - who do you perceive as the "one" group and who is "everyone else"? This seems a valid question since according to a series of annual Harris Polls, 94% of American adults believe in a God in some form. Is the 94% of the population that "one" group you're talking...

fortuna - Sounds like he's saying "pivots" but referring to "retracements". Two different things.

dgabriel - two things: 1. My point about the judiciary was NOT that there was a problem with them INTERPRETING the laws passed by the legislature. It was in their LEGISLATING from the bench. Many judges have done this on numerous occassions (the district court out in California being one of...

Where does it specifically say the church and state should be separate? I'm not aware of that phrase anywhere in the Constitution. What the first amendment is guaranteeing is that the state will not place one religion above all others or to the exclusion of others. It's saying that...

The zealots on both sides of this issue can argue from now until the Sun goes nova and they'll never find common ground. It's because zealots are so self-rightous and convinced of their own correctness that they see no reason to bother to hear any descenting views. Which is why zealots of...

Something similar to that is most likely causing your problem. You've probably either deleted or corrupted one or more common system files that Office needs - either through installing or deinstalling some other software, the actions of a virus/worm, or a disk corruption. You may have to pop...

Sorry, what does that mean? You were using 5 and 60 minute INTRADAY charts.

Letting people moderate their own threads sounds simple, but isn't workable either. They'd simply delete any contradictary posts and you'd have equally worthless single sided BS. Third party moderating is the only way to keep it from becoming one sided. I'm all for letting moderators weed...

Yeah, that's what it should be for a married put. I believe IB uses that margin calc too now. Although a married put or other hedged position can be used if you're trading in and out of positions over multiple days or holding positions for longer than intraday - outfits like Xoom do offer...
