How do you know the post is worthless if you can't read it?

You're kidding, right? The guy just decided to junk it and buy another one off eBay... and you want him to do real work!?!?

Probably not according to your definition of reasonable; you'd end up taking a huge bath. That's one of the big difficulties with shorting stocks... theoretically you can lose an "infinite" amount of money. Practically, you can lose much more that you have. Unlevered long positions can only lose...

This guy needs to consider a new career because "elite trading" is a long way off. Everything necessary has already been suggested... someone even pointed him to Dell's site for updating the bios. The bottom line is he's unable to perform a basic binary search within the problem domain. Until...

Wrong drives dopey. Basically what you did is take the drives out of the computer and conclude they're ok because the machine still wouldn't boot. And you blocked me for joking around with you. Lol, you're an idiot.

Oh, boo-hoo! Bury your head in the ground.. that will definitely help.

Lol, principles before popularity... so, think what you want. All my computers are up and running right now and trading. If something happens I can restore from backups and in many cases I can do it remotely if necessary. But, here you are grasping at straws and blaming the rest of the world for...

Lol, well... test each thing and get back to us! And I'm the smart ass o_O

I'm critical because your DR plan sucks donkey cock. The fact you're having difficulty is proof enough... don't cry to me about it or try to defend it. Man up and admit it needs improvement; even if that means having a spare barebones machine around to confirm the disks are ok. If you really had...

What am I... your accountant? broker? I like you @Rams Fan but you're on your own here :p

Boot order and UEFI settings in the BIOS oviously matter, sounds like you went through that though. So... Kick yourself for not having a legit DR plan in place. And I mean kick yourself hard, directly in the balls if possible. You should be able to restore a full system disk image via CD, USB...

Sure. If you're a bit more old school, which I am, you can view the lectures from '86 instead (or in addition):

A word of caution, this recommendation is not for the faint of heart. But if you're dead serious there's really only one way to go: SICP is basically the gold standard text. And you can watch the lectures via youtube... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7BcsI5ueSNFPCEisbaoQ0kXIDX9rR5FF

Agreed, in some sense our viewpoints aren't especially different. I just tend to lean on quantitative tools quite a bit, but there's certainly no substitute for high quality qualitative analysis. Indeed, the latter begets the former IMHO. Anyway, you didn't trade a specific option with me so I...

Joking aside for the moment... You bring up an interesting point here. My response is there's a bigger difference between taking a gamble and taking a calculated risk than you may think. You're gambling mostly because you specify a price and time frame... that's not the same as offering...

Lol, does the red pill involve buying a Powerball ticket... because that sounds like a better investment to me. You're gambling and you're nuts @Rams Fan

Uhhh.... I'm not sure many people agree with you. Stop smoking crack! :p

I called and he said that batch was so good it already sold out!

Oh, that explains it. Writing is probably out of the question then as well o_O
