It's not a solution because the problem does not exist. One does not have to surrender other citizenship(s) to acquire US citizenship. It's a commonly believed myth. It used to be somewhat of a gray area, but for many years it's not been anymore. To address another inaccuracy in another post...

For QT questions, you migth want to visit (and register at) http://board.quotetracker.com/board/ubbthreads.php That's the QT "official" board. These guys have amazing customer service, both in speed and quality. Elvis

Maybe it's God trying to tell you something :D :D :D

They have been transferring (not converting) all accounts to universal whether you request it or not, including IRA accounts. You get a new account number starting with U and a couple of statements to record the transactions (because it's a transfer to a new account). They did it on a week-end...

With a swirl?

I assume you use Windows and that one of your card is PCI and the other AGP. it's not clear if you have set up your video cards in the display properties. So in case you have not, here it goes. 1) Position your mouse on your empty desktop and right click 2) Click "Properties" (bottom of...

That was published in the 60's and dealt with the go-go markets of that time. But not to worry, for nothing has changed... Elvis

Maybe youse guys should stop for a minute and go read Adam Smith's "The Money Game". There is some funny stuff about cocoa in it, and reading this thread reminded me of it. There is nothing new under the sun... Elvis

What's this, WWF Smackdown? Just read the fee schedule on the web site. Duh! "The above rates for traders are based on orders placed via ECHOtrader, ECHOtrader 2, First Alert, Sterling, RTW, or Peace/AT Financial. These rates do not included any SEC or exchange fees. Orders are routed...

Is the tail wagging the dog, you're asking? Up to a point and mostly in shorter time-frames it probably does, since every flea on the dog thinks that it is much smarter than the other fleas. On how the fleas control the movements of the tail, give me a break 'cause there is only so far I can...

Hey, someone has to do "les tournantes", right? It's hard work and Frenchmen refuse to do it. So it's only logical that the taxpayer (I heard that some of you still have jobs) pays these guys to go around in the black BMW's and Mercedes-Benz that they like so much. Comme on fait son lit on...

It will fluctuate. (Thanks to JP Morgan for the quote.)

Yes, the US does but Japan does not. My understanding is that a Japanese citizen who acquires another citizenship loses his/her Japanese citizenship. I have known Japanese green-carders in the US who did not naturalize because they didn't want to lose their Japanese citizenship. Elvis

Fast and simple answer. 1) You don't **need** a dual-cpu setup. You'll have plenty of reserve power with a single one and the config you've described. If it's for trading, you could have a PIII or an Athlon 700MHZ and be fine. Get 512meg of memory on any config and you'll have plenty. 2)...

The wheels of the Administration grind slowly :D

The rules came into effect fall 2001, if memory serve: well into the bear market. Regardless, they don't make a lot of sense any way you slice it, as long as there are alternative high-leverage vehicles. Elvis

Not to take the thread on a tangent, but don't you find it ironic that these rules are pushing people into options, futures, and soon futures on individual stocks? This is akin to steer people toward crack smoking in order to discourage them to smoke marijuana. :D Elvis

It's arguable. If you build a big hotel in which you are going to rent out cheap rooms, you don't skimp on a fire alarm and sprinklers systems because they are expensive and the rooms are going to be rented cheap. If there is a large fire and many of your guests get killed, you'll be ruined...

As I read his post, his essential--and legitimate--beef is not about the outage or not being reimbursed for his loss: it's about not being able to pick up the phone during the outage and act on his positions as needed. Outages are going to happen once in a while: it's a given. Telling him to use...

Well, this won't be of too much help to you in answering your specific question, I'm afraid... But for your information, be aware that Cisco (and maybe some others) re-purchase or takes in trade a lot-- as much as they can-of the routing used equipment and destroys it outright. This precisely to...
