    Don's openings and more for 2005

    In my experience, it's a crap shoot. I've seen it work real well sometimes and real bad others. However, with prudent money management and quick fingers (or automated software, there is potential).

    American Express fin. advisor good or bad start?

    If you like cold calling, this is the position for you! A friend of mine went with Amex to do the same thing. He took all the tests, got all his licenses, and then was ready to start. He had been layed off from Ericsson and IBM and had the idea that he wanted to organize presentations to...

    Automated trading through Excel

    If you need to go another route, you may want to consider using VB as you already have the code for it. If you like using the Excel interface, you could probably put an Excel Control on a VB form.

    Automated trading through Excel

    Sounds like you're trying to do some very time-sensitive stuff such as scalping based on the latest bid/ask or last. If that's the case, then you are correct. But if that's the case, keep in mind that you are competing with the big boys at that level. And in that case, you need to have some...

    Automated trading through Excel

    I have done a number of automated applications with Excel. It's good for getting something out quick. You also want to make sure you put in safeguards, like checks to make sure that what should have been executed gets executed, what should have been cancelled gets cancelled, if quotes stop...

    When did your news service tell you about MAD COW?

    This morning, there was an announcement on the possibility of another incident of MAD COW disease. Most of the news services have this out by 10:10am. The earliest I can find is Dow Jones with a blurb at 9:50am. But look at the usual Mad Cow suspects: MCD, WEN, OSI, TSN, SFD, etc. and it...

    INTRA-DAY stock scanners?

    Yeah, but then you have to get realtick and the prices add up in a big way. If that's the case, and you need something custom, I'd just fo with Neovest FirstAlert... would probably be about the same cost.

    May they rest in peace: dead firms

    I try to stay out of these, but I just have to interject one fact. I have sat down to eat with both Don and "siesen" at the same time and at the same table. They were two completely different individuals (ok, it was in Don's heavier days, so maybe it was 3 if you count Don as two :D ), and...
