Let's get everyone together from the NOVA area. Would love to meet everyone over a meal. What do you guys think?

I would go with the 2 dual cards any day. You will have more memory and the cards can be swapped out to another system individually if you decide to upgrade later. Also, having the additional RAM on the duals for later is a plus. I completely agree with JackR on his comments.

Does it even makes sense to own gold stock? I would think that one would have to have physical delivery of something that is marketable to hedge against a fall in currency. I'm not a dooms-dayer, but I would certainly expect that someone running their personal finance this way is getting into...

I agree with you Murray. My comment is not a prediction that the market will continue to go up. Maybe I was ambiguous in what I said. My main point in my original post is to say that it is best to let things develop a bit - let the market tip its hand first - before getting into it. This...

My comments on that thread were not after the fact. My comments have nothing to do with what comes next. I'm not making any predictions in my post here or in the other related thread. I don't see how it is "after the fact" as jackbird says. I appreciate your kind comment.

Interesting reply. I don't get into these "who has the bigger stick" matches, so nice try. I'm sure your extensive experience in picking tops has served you well in this market. My opinion is not something I learned in a book. It is from getting zapped trying to call tops and bottoms in the...

As more people realise what Rearden is talking about, you will see the price of gold and other material commodities rise. The dollar is much like a check you write to your neighbor who can redeem it with your other neighbor who will later come to you to get another check with a bit more money in...

Sulong, It is very generous of you to take the time to post all of those threads for Flashboy. I haven't read them and don't have the time to go through each one. Can I ask you to kindly summarize your observations either here or through a PM on this subject? I am always interested in what...

It amazes me as a professional trader how so many people would get short and then ask where the top is. Go look at the "ER2 has topped" thread. There are so many of these and as the market continues to climb, you are left with a road full of corpses. One must understand that the name of the...

Fairfax, VA, here. Quite a distance from you.

When I use it, I generally record my market depth window on X-Trader and the T&S window next to it. I run it from the time I start 7:30 AM ET until close of futures at 4:15 PM ET. As long as you have enough hard drive space, the program can handle it. When you play it back, you can scroll...

Wait a minute. I recognize the face. That was this morning's guest on CNBC.

I use Camtasia. Works beautifully with some great extra features. Make sure the computer you use has a 10,000 rpm hard drive and plenty of space. These movies can take up a lot of room depending on how much of the screen you choose to record.

Ol' man winter... I hope you are wrong about the rebates. I actually didn't make any copies before I sent it off. They use an online registration deal. I should have made a copy of the UPC before sending. They promise payment within 4 weeks, so we will see. Even if something goes wrong there, I...

Good idea. I haven't done that. I need to make sure it works. Thanks for pointing that out.

This drive works beautiful. I am amazed. Truly fantastic. I partitioned the drive and was able to create an image using Acronis for a 40GB harddrive in about 29 minutes. The fan in the case is quite loud but I took the suggestion from the reviews and sprayed it with WD40 before installing the...

I agree. I have met with their main technical staff including the guy who created their matching engine. They are so uninterested in taking any big steps. Eurex has been running on 64kbps lines (that's modem or ISDN speed) until last year while ever other major exchange exclusively uses T-1's...

Eurex has had issues with their matching engine for a while. Sometimes, I get late fills on the dax when the market is quiet. I think their tech part of the business is nothing short of negligent in their perspective what they should provide. On the other hand, I keep getting email updates...

Oh... wise Maverick74. It is obvious that you didn't fully digest what I wrote before commenting. My comments below: You know some things are not received well by others not because they are "retarded" or because the guy who wrote them is "smoking a joint." As time goes by, you will realize that...

Who was it who wisely said, "Money has no value until you spend it." That is the true power of money. It doesn't mean you should be throwing it away or paying for more than a thing's value, but you can't take it with you and it only opens doors to things in the material world. Many people would...
