Bah! You sound like an old man already! If you really want to limit your intake of alcohol, try drinking beer with straw! You don't need pills! The main problem with dehydration from liquor/coffee (mainly liquor) is that it flushes out the electrolytes in your body. Drinking just plain water...

Any suggestions on better underlyings futures? I've only been doing this for a month and had to go with PFG with the low $3k starting capital I had. Doubled that to $6k now, so I'm shopping for better brokers. I've been making decent 200-300% returns on cocoa, coffee, sugar, corn, wheat, soy...

What about FUTURES-OPTIONS? I went through the outfits listed above and some of them do offer a limited amount. But not on the coffee, cocoa, and agricultural futures-options that I want to trade. Tradestation does allow me to send orders to the pits, but they want to charge $13 PER...

Look at what happened after the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction...

Don't forget washing through $900m of taxpayer money to Haliburton...

Dude, you're worrying about pennies and losing out on thousands of dollars in PROFIT! Forget about the spread between bid/ask, just buy some options! With $1000 maximum risk, you can pick up 6 Aug-47.50 calls for $1020. When SNDK moves to about $50/shr, your options will be worth about $2000...

I think he means it was the exact opposite move at the right time. Or the right move at the wrong time. Personally, I wouldn't haven't gotten into GOOG at its all time high of 460, that was probably Jan. or middle of April. However, if I did make that mistake, I would've done the following...

Damn right-wing conservative religious-freaks! They condone bodies & blood & violence everywhere, TV, media, real-life, but show a single boob and they're offended!

That's a GREAT attitude! When YOU are the prize and they have to get passing grades just to be with you, your choices and results improve tremendously! :) Keep up the good work!

With $500m, i'd live everywhere. Take my yatch and cruise the world. :) Or leverage that amount to make a lot more and OWN my own country. :)

heh, heh... I've had the best luck with not even telling them what I do for a living at all. Being vague is a lot more mysterious and intriguing to them. It's so boring and ordinary when they ask, "What do you do for a living?". So I gotta counter with, "I'm an ass model!"... :)

trader1966, my drunken party photos from camera-phones don't even do the ladies here justice. It's really the percentages that's amazing. Just walking down the street you'll see 75% of the chics qualifying as supermodels. While other places may also have hot chics, there's just such an...

Santa Barbara's the sh*t!!! Got the best combination of great year-round weather (hasn't gotten over 85-degrees during this recent heat-wave), slow, easy pace of life, no traffic, no congestion, no smog, very little crime, nice warm people who'll stop on the street and talk with you. I've run...

Cool... thanks for the suggestions. I gotta get more educated and practiced with the more technical aspects of options. There's a whole lot more going on than with stocks. ;)

A single CPU can only handle one instruction at a time and the OS has to feed it in a single stream. With dual-CPU/cores, mulitple programs can be run without the slow-down associated with multitasking (switching) between them. It can then execute two streams of instructions simultaneously. It...

1. If you never traded options, do you still think you'd be where you are today (just as profitable / unprofitable)? No way, most of my profits, 75-80% have come from options. However, the majority of my options trades, about 60% are losses. 2. What is your primary option strategy?...to...

Yeah, nowadays with the massive volume of data in Windows and programs that must be read off the disk, the drive's speed is becoming a larger and larger factor in overall performance. Definitely in the graphics and video arena when you're dealing with multi-gig files continuously, drive speed...

If you're talking about LCD screens, you have to make sure you're using the NATIVE resolution of the display. So if the screen's got 1920x1200 resolution, you HAVE to run that on the video card. If you try to pump 1280x1024 into that screen, you'll end up with ugly lines due to the interpolation...

Yeah, I've tried out the Apple 30" screen at my friend's house. It's simply amazing! Functionally, the screen's display is about the same as the others on the market, but the design of the case & stand is simply beyond anyone else's. And the built-in firewire hub will be handy as I do a lot of...

I guess the solution really comes down to what is causing GreenDog's back pain. Is it muscular or spinal/vertebrae issues? I had a slightly sore back before in high-school, but it never really bugged me that bad because most of the sports I did like running track and soccer kept the back...
