i never understand why people waste so much money buying those multiple display bundles.... instead of paying $3k for 1x 21" and 5x 17" why dont you get: 1) 1x dell ultrasharp 24" lcd $500 2) 5x dell ultrasharp 17" lcd $200 3) pick a multi display stand from dell for $700 (ie...

got an email saying my account will not be accessible after 36 hours without a passcode card that was mailed to me 2 weeks ago. I never received the passcode card in the mail and thanks for telling me 2 weeks AFTER you mailed it. I spent all morning trying to resolve this simple problem...

i havent seen any good releases out of amd lately intel core2duo destroyed amd amd's acquistion of ati was lackluster at best, nvdia still dominating with their 8xxx and 9xxx graphic cards. Integration of ati and amd into an all-in-one solution is progressing slowly and without much...

If you have the discipline to follow above rule strictly and doesnt hold overnight, then you most likely wont blow out your account so to speak, but bleed to death slowly in worst case scenario (ie: your trading strategy doesnt work at all in current market etc...)

Jim says lenny is one of the few people in the WORLD he would listen to on stock tips :eek: video here: http://www.thedykstrareport.com/?gclid=CKOumLaOsZICFQiHHgodQXt_kQ

his ball career is ok, but his "proprietary" DITM call strategy is a different story. It's basically buying naked DITM calls 3 month+ out, limit your winners to $1 max, while letting your losers ride with martingale as stop loss... Lenny dykstra was doing well durin the first part of 2007...

hmm but if the deal falls apart, wouldnt bsc price go UP instead of drop to below $10? I think the sentiment was that jpm got a steal, so if the deal falls apart the stock would gap up not down. not sure... :confused: :confused:

the shanghai stock market has been completely devasated with no end in sight, i would say even worse than the US in just a few short weeks. Everyone is scratching their head wondering why the chinese government hasnt stepped in yet, which is very unusual as the govt usually keep a tight control...

I think we are in the middle of a rally, and the market has turned bullish short term. The nyse short interest increased almost 7% from the latest report, today's plung in consumer confidence was ignored, after 2 days of large move it is natural for the market to take a breather or even go...

You sure did better than cramer :p very nice call and the explanation was on the money too, good job.

he's asking why everytime he goes long, the stock drops. Everytime he goes short, the stock moves up. The answer: jesus doesnt love you. Ok maybe not....but probably you are doing market order trying to scalp or something. What is your time horizon? and what type of trading do you do.

does anyone know if IB's Show Volatility button under OptionTrader that converts all option bid/ask to % volatility is the historical or implied volatility, or something else? It has a different percent value than the Imp. Vol column that's right next to it. thanks
