    CPU overheating affecting USB-to-VGA display?

    Almost good enough. I'd definitely hit the PSU fan again. And hit the back panel fan a little more (or wipe with a damp paper towel).

    RM's occasional market calls...

    Somebody knows something... You'd think that IRS tax bill would depress the stock, not cause it to rise.... Maybe it's a monkey off their back... sell the rumor, buy the news kind of thing...

    Getting awfully close to the most recent highs... DJIA - 15340 S&P - 1654 If both get taken out, your theory of a market crash is toast.... Since there isn't any semblance of bad news in the market right now, I'd say the markets are going to go higher..... much higher... Even...

    Insider says gold and silver will back money

    And **poof**, all the debts and balance of trade surpluses/deficits between the sovereign nations magically disappear, since none of it is real in the first place (just scribbles in the accounting ledgers)... And we wake up from our bad dream like it was 1956 again, with the Bretton Woods...

    CPU overheating affecting USB-to-VGA display?

    I'd stay away from the toothbrush or any alcohol, ammonia, or oil-based compounds. A couple of lint-free rags and compressed air ought to be enough. Just pop the panels off and remove the cards, and then hit it with the compressed air from all directions. Including the fans, fan covers...

    In my case, I've rooted my Android, and run it as a hotspot for my laptop w/o having to pay extra to the cell phone company. From there, I have normal Net access for my laptop. Another, more complicated solution is to have a machine, preferably outside the company's firewall, say at home...

    CPU overheating affecting USB-to-VGA display?

    Better take the machine outside first.... May want to take out the cards first. Also, concentrate on the fan covers and the cpu heatsink if you have one. Here's an interesting motherboard with 5 PCIe x16 slots...

    I just threw in that particular number. I didn't bother looking that one up. My database does show the .08, however, but it's still useless because the real value is rounded to 2 places. That would be fine if all splits were 2-1, 3-1, 4-1. But they're not. Some stocks split 4/3, 5/4...

    limit and stop orders in case of split and dividends

    You don't have to find anything. Your broker will tell you whether the stock shortable and whether shares are available. Yes and no. Otherwise, that magical event called a "short squeeze" would never occur if the borrower could keep the shares for as long as they want...

    limit and stop orders in case of split and dividends

    Large dividends for a public company? Are you trading railroad stocks from the 1870s? I would think it'd be safer to manually adjust any open orders. I imagine your broker would just cancel the order, as it might be a liability issue for the broker to modify your open orders w/o your...

    Anyone not making 200k a year from trading is a piker

    If you're looking to trade stocks EOD or longer, you should look at TradingBlox. It's pricey. It doesn't have any real-time capability. It doesn't connect to any brokers. But it's full-featured backtester with portfolio-level trade and money management, adjustments for slippage and...

    Just to clarify, we need to define adjusted and unadjusted. To me, today's OHLCV reported by the exchanges is the adjusted price. The real unadjusted price is the price on trading day #1, with no splits or dividends factored in. So, in my case, I have 2 fields in my price table -...

    Anyone not making 200k a year from trading is a piker

    Real colleges/university don't guarantee anything except that you'll owe a lot of money when you're finished... A lot of the for-profit "universities/trade schools" like the U. of Phoenix imply you'll get a job with a degree in your field of study. They won't guarantee it because they don't...
