i also suffer from the "fear of upgrades" syndrome. each time i upgrade, i get a new set of problems. it's like they trade some old bugs for new ones. the current problem i have is where the 'account' screen sometimes appears behind the main tws screen. it seems to be randomly triggered by...

there are many places where women tend to be much thinner than american women. here in the states, a 5'3" 110 lbs woman is considered thin and would need to gain weight to become average. in japan, for instance, that woman is considered 5-10 lbs overweight and would have trouble finding...

IV is collapsing because of the absence of large daily movements. a vix of 45 suggests daily movements of 2.8%, but we have not had many such days in the past 6 weeks. traders no longer expect the wild 3%-4% swings like we had before, even when the market drops 2.5% like it did yesterday.

women gravitate toward professions that require degrees, such as accounting, finance, teaching and nursing. they won't or can't get into fields that don't require a bachelors, like furniture moving, coal mining, automotive tech, appliance repair, fire fighting, roofing, etc. women prefer...

jesus!! you're making this too complex! kick his ass or unplug his computer if it's jeopardizing your trading. who wears the pants in the family?

thanks for the replies but this is not what i'm looking for. i don't want wifi -- what if i'm in an area that doesn't have wifi? surdo you're wrong about the last statement. there are cell phones that can connect to dialup isp as a modem, but afaik they need a laptop to browse the web. i'm...

what are some good web-ready cell phones that can connect to a dialup isp? i just need something for occasionally reading email directly by phone, but signing up for a data plan is overkill.

why won't you tell us what the car is? i find it peculiar that you censored that in your post.

this is very true. i have a date this weekend with a hot chick who comes across as a gold-digger. i already know she likes money and wants me to take her shopping. naturally i'm gonna expect something in return. although she's gonna cost money, she won't be anywhere as expensive as a...

sounds like another income-rich, equity-poor guy with poor budgeting skills. going off to start your own business is something i respect, but hell you should only do it if you have a 2nd income or enough money saved to survive 6 years of no income as the business is being built. it's clear he...

you had me laughing pretty hard here buddy. your plan is basically to let the greediest mofo's on the planet voluntarily return money? please go back to watching the disney channel, you're obviously not living in the real world

AIG was insolvent last sept, so these employees are lucky to even have a job let alone a bonus. if not for the government action, they'd be in the unemployment line. the bailout should have also torn up these so-called contracts authorizing the bonuses. as bernanke said, the bailout was a...

this is partly why the fed wants to keep treasury rates low, because prime ARMs are based on intermediate-term rates (typically libor 1 year or MTA). as long as those rates are low, the resetting of the ARMs won't be a problem. someone with a prime ARM that's resetting now would likely see a...

the computer i'm using now is 18 months old and has been overclocked by 40% with stock voltage and stock fan, and it's rock stable with no heat issues. it all depends on the quality of your motherboard, cpu and memory. some are great for OC, some suck. just make sure you test it well.

you're implying that newspapers are intentionally not reporting the good news. so tell me, what's the good news out there that they're withholding from us? i sure don't remember it like this back in 99-2000 when almost every article was bullish.

this is a myth, everything has limited risk. the limit is your account size.

annual cost of electricty assuming 13 cents per kwh: leaving your computer on only when you need it (assuming 5 hrs per day): $59 leaving your computer on 24/7: $284 and that's just for the computer (not monitor). if you dislike the startup time, just hibernate/standby. i've been doing...

what this proves is that your upbringing and personality have as much to do with trading success as your formal education. i don't have an MBA but i have risk aversion personality, so i didn't take huge, over-leveraged gambles like these f*ckheads on wall street. that's why i didn't blow out...

i have money in fidelity and vanguard because they're "too big to fail". there's a very small chance you'd lose a percent or two, but the fed absolutely would not let them fail completely due to the fact virtually every person has money in them directly or indirectly. these money funds are...

as i said before, it was loose credit not low interest rates that cause the bubble. right now, mortgage rates are near an all-time low so why isn't there a massive bubble?? why is real estate deflating at an unprecedented rate? duh! because credit is tight! why wasn't there a massive...
