    tryin to buy an nsx

    You remind me of myself 5 years ago. I had unrealistic goals of trying to make 1% a day. I was calculating how many days it would take for me to turn my money into 1 million. I'm very happy with making a 30% year now. The chance of you turning 1k to 100k in a year is next to nil. The...

    I got a new Inspiron 700m for traveling purposes about 2 weeks ago. It arrived with 2 dead pixels and I looked up Dell's policy. It doesn't consider the laptop defective unless it has 6 or more dead pixels. Since the pixels are not in the center and I don't have time to waste with returning...

    Getting caught overnight by news

    Is it true that if anyone is trading long enough that they will eventually get caught by a bad news holding overnight? I usually trade with stops like 20-30 cents but will sometimes hold overnight if the stock is above my long entry. There is always the small chance that the stock I'm long...

    IB fund hold

    Always wire your money. Never use a check. It says on their web page on the deposit page there is a hold on checks. My guess is to verify the check is valid.
