    Domain Name Registrar

    Godaddy really screwed me hard with this forced email change. They took away dozens of email addresses, and forced me to pay for them. I'm leaving the platform, and don't recommend it.

    Hey All, Can anyone recommend a good domain name registrar? Godaddy has left me torn and bleeding... I'm transferring all my domains out. Thanks, Keith

    depression

    I find it's helpful to join and be active in a group centered around a common interest: cycling, ballroom dance, running 5ks, volleyball, choir, cooking, meetups, etc. What are your hobbies? When I connect with people on common ground, many boundaries--such as gender, race, etc.--fall away. For...

    Why are TIPS bonds only paying about 2⅓% when inflation is at 7.9%?

    My understanding is that AU is the traditional hedge against inflation. Stack those coins in the safe, peeps!

    Why are TIPS bonds only paying about 2⅓% when inflation is at 7.9%?

    Thanks... one would think that TIPS are a good buy in this inflationary market. It still perplexes me why gold hasn't shot up to at least USD3000

    Why are TIPS bonds only paying about 2⅓% when inflation is at 7.9%?

    This instrument seems to be asleep at the wheel. With inflation weighing in at about 8%, and TIPS bonds paying about 2⅓%. I did the calcuations, and the numbers aren't adding up... maybe one of you can check my math. Can anyone explain why TIPS bonds aren't covering the inflation rate, when...

    Please explain how to keep up with a fricking 7.9% inflation rate...

    - A 3% raise at work is typical--if you're lucky. - 10yT is paying 2.4% - To consistently pull 8% out of the equities market qualifies you as a fund manager Just to tread water, you have to take a lot of risk. 9% just to get ahead by 1%? Maybe junk bonds? Again... the risk. Do drug dealers...

    Open-Source Social Media Platform?

    I'm looking for more of a user-centric experience; like a FB or TWTR. A lot of the free stuff is more of a topic-centric; bulletin-board style. It''s for this site (not a plug). I got so frustrated with all the censorship that I started my own social media site centered around freedom of...

    Looking for Advice

    The first step is to look inside yourself: what do you have that others don't? What sector do you understand? Who do you have in your life that can make you smarter than most in some market? Is there something you're interested in? Dig deep. Focus on that little edge, and nurture it into an...

    Looking for Advice

    Let's say you want to win on 3 out of 5 trades (60%), or maybe 4 out of 7 (57%). The basis for your trading is just looking at timeframes and prices on chart. Pretty much everyone is doing that--including the soul-less algorithms that hedge funds run. You might get lucky here and there, and win...

    You think? I'd expect ET folks to be into ice dancing, horse jumping, and croquet.

    Recommended options strategies for beginners

    Start with a Covered Call, perhaps a Protective Put. From there, perhaps a volatility trade, like Straddle or Strangle.

    Honestly it looks like you're gambling. Nothing in your description gives you any real edge over the next trader. It's one big 50/50. Flip a coin.

    Java or C++ for HFT?

    Not sure how much experience you have in C++, but it's got a fairly steep learning curve. Especially if you're doing HFT, where you'll be pretty much brought down to the C level, and may not be able to use some std:: stuff (like smart pointers) because of the overhead. Say hello to segfaults...

    Java or C++ for HFT?

    Bleeding edge stuff aside, unless you have a specific need, +1 on this comment: start with Boost.python.
