    Need opinions on new flat panel monitor (19"+)

    Damn - when I bought this, I think it was about $500. I can't believe how much they've come down. Thanks for the replies.

    NEC MultiSync LCD 1830 - do they have a suicide date?

    Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try one of these walk in places and see what they say about possibly repairing it.

    I've got an older mutliscreen setup at home. 2 (two) NEC MultiSync LCD 1830's running off a ATI Radeon 9100 IGP card. I believe the monitors are discontinued. Last week, one of the monitors died. The screen started flickering and then poof...dead. It's about 3-4 yrs old. Is this the...

    Trading difficulties in the afternoon

    You could always go home at noon. One of the most consistent and profitable traders I know had the same problem and decided that he would only trade the morning session. He did that like 10 years ago. Though I haven't kept in touch with him, I know that he was a very good trader and even...

    Putin screws Shell

    When my partners and I landed at the airport (Sheremetevo?) in 1991, we were stopped not 1 minute into the car ride. A cop saw our yellow foreign plates and basically wanted and got a bribe. On the way to our apt, we saw holes in the whitehouse where the tanks had fired into. The wild wild...

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    Greetings Don, What I may do is open a couple of acct's. One for leveraged equity and another for futures. Perhaps 50/50 or something. Just gotta find the good houses. I'm closer today to making a decision that I was 3 months ago though. I know, I know, STFU and just trade...

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    I guess I wasn't clear. I haven't traded since 2002. 2005? It was in cash, as it is now.

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    This is my risk account as I've said. I'm leaning towards trading the major fut mkts and possibly some stocks. Thinking about an IB Univ. acct. to trade 'em all. I wish I was good at math so I could do some options.

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    Thought about it, but all the work into researching HF's, I might as well just trade.

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    Just browse some of the threads on ET about changes in the equities market. Hybrids, most exchanges going electronic, no more floor, no more flow info, auto trading systems, blah blah blah... I don't have the stamina to fight with the youth of today in the digital age. Back in the day, it...

    What would you do with a 100k account in 2007?

    Good afternoon to all, First, many thanks to all for bringing this old fart up to speed with what's going on in 2006. After seeing some old friends who run trading shops and going through some interviews, I'm convinced that the trading world indeed has changed. So much that I'm seriously...

    Are the days of a tape reader over? Like the Specialists of the NYSE?

    I used to be a tape reader. Any others who still just trade the tape? Are the days coming to an end for the tape hounds? I'm sure this has been talked about, so if someone has a recent link, that's fine too. Thanks and have a great week of trading. You maniacs. :p

    Facing our demons

    Tony Robbins, the dude with the extremely large chin. :D I never met the man, but I did have some one on ones with his east coast partner. Bob used to coach many athletes as well. I must admit, I did pick up a few things that helped. Of course along the path to overcoming our demons, we use...

    Facing our demons

    Hello Cutten, First, I hope you don't mind the hack-editing of your post. Second, I will start by saying the patient, uhmm..trader, must be a red zone case before attempting to change. Kinda like the smoker who says he wants to quit, but really doesn't. If the trader really doesn't want...
