Good points. Maybe onboard video would be ok then. I just don't want to pay extra when I have a gazillion NICs lying around, for example. If I had to choose the RAM, it would be DDR SDRAM, I guess.

I am planning on building a barebones P4 system in the next few weeks. Can anyone suggest some barebones systems that would accommodate these requirements: - P4 2.2 - 2.4 Ghz - 500 - 1G ram - no onboard audio/raid/network/video on the mobo - a basic video card, no 3d, no multimonitor...

like chas said, I think this kind of market deflation is healthy. My understanding is that it is ok to pick a zit as long as it gets disinfected. All this new legislation against corporate malfeasance is the disinfectant, hopefully.

good idea chasinfla... I had a feeling few understood my handle. It almost sounds like I want to be Sean, as in " O I want 2 B Sean". Rather, I am saying "O God it is 2 much B-eing Sean". In other words, the name is Sean.

oops:D

rs7, stick around, I value your thoughts. Albeit, I do skip some of your posts when I can tell you are not teaching, just bantering. My advice is what a friend once told me: "Sean, you are way too compasionate! Snap out of it!"

thanks puffy, it was good to read that again. Just like the first time, I find my mouth watering profusely.

actually, it seems the OTB can be a profitable career. I read an article in wired magazine some time ago about some Hong Kong guys using computer analysis to improe their odds. They would do things like create a database of info about the horses and their percentage of wins/loses, etc. They...

I think optimism/pessimism is not the issue, the issue is learning not to lie to yourself. It is about awareness of reality. If you are in a bad trade and saying to yoursef "I know that this will work out! I just know it!" or some such similar nonsense, that is lying to yourself.

Bone, you brought up a point I have been wondering about. The a/c/e 10 year note, ZN, is that completely removed from the pit. Is the order matched completely electronically? In other words, is the ZN to the TY like the NQ is to the ND? :)

Yes, but remember that wash sale rules will still apply to that open trade. This is the case for any trades you hold into the new year.

hofferino, You might want to do a search for your broker on NFA's BASIC at http://www.nfa.futures.org/basic/search.asp and see if others have filed complaints...

I would also be interested to hear what other futures traders have to say about this. I have only traded index futs so far, but I plan on trading other contracts soon. One thing I can say, Hofferino, is that you wouldn't have such experiences if you stick to the purely electronic markets, the...

I agree. Jem great post! You newbies out there need to listen to the senior members, it might just save your asses someday. If you really listen to these guys and take what they say to heart, you don't need to learn the hard way. If you don't listen, you will learn the hard way.

RS7 just PMed me his secret, I will sell it to the highest bidder! Act fast. I will take check or money order.
