    For guys at Schony, Trillium, Opus, Hold, or institutional traders

    I know you're just giving an example but I have to add...for most people paying off your mortgage is not the best idea. Especially if you have a good interest rate (6 or lower) and if your in the first 5-10yrs of a 30yr mtg (the tax deduction from interest is highest at that point). Also, how...

    Looking for free PDF creator to save docs to

    Do a search for "PDF Factory"...I have it on my computer at work, but I don't know where I got it from. What I do is hit print, then the "PDF factory" shows up under printers and..presto! http://www.pdffactory.com/ I don't think it's free.

    Saving for Retirement

    Just to give you an idea: If you deposit $400 per month for 30years with a starting balance of $1,000, you would need to earn 10.37% per year to get you $1,000,000. Now the 10.37% isn't too diffcult, nor too easy...but what's a $1,000,000 really gonna get you in 30years? Now if you...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    I didn't read all of this thread so I may be jumping in a the wrong point, but if you want to set up a multi-monitor station you don't need a techie geek. I thought the same thing when I was ready to do mine so I went to a local computer shop and they wanted to charge me an arm and a leg...

    Best US State to Trade from?

    I live in upstate NY and I love it. Near Albany(not Westchester which really isn't "upstate"). No special tax breaks..but there's always something to do. First off, you must not be afraid of cold weather for a few months a year. IN Jan/Feb it can get down to zero F. You like to...

    I screwed up, I'm still learning.

    I'm not trying to turn you away from options trading at all, just giving you my experience. I'm going to get back into trading full-time soon so I went over my logs I kept during my 4+ years of trading. One thing I found was that in the first 2 years I did pretty well just using the same...

    Google Base is here, Ebay is worried. Realty Agents could be absolete.

    vhehn, You're right. Just like the way discount brokers changed the way wirehouses charge commissions the realty business is starting to change. Funny how it takes a bubble to bring it on. I'm in the mortgage biz (soon be get out, you know the boom is over when the Donald opens Trump...

    Snowboard

    YEah, I definately need new bindings. The straps are trashed. They usually get a bit loose after a few minutes. I love the Airwalk boots I have and will probably keep those unless they don't fit well with the new bindings I get. So, bindings are a must, but now I'm trying to decide if a...

    Snowboard

    Sems like there are a few snowboarders on the site so I'll toss out a question. I've been riding for 12 years. My last board purchase was a 1996 Burton Air 155 with Burton Freestyle bindings. I wear Airwalk soft boots. I love the board. It's a great all-mountain set up. I ride mostly in...

    CFT Financials

    This is only semi-related but, once a twice a year my buddies and I drive up to Montreal for a overnight trip(it's only about a 4hr drive for us). Someone just told me that you now need a valid passport to cross the border. Previously you only needed valid ID to cross over from NY to Canada...

    Prop Firm that caters to remote traders

    I've been a member on this board for nearly 5years and I don't think I've ever bashed any person or any firm. However, I feel like I need to express my opinion. I know Bright Trading has a lot of supporters but I have not received any sort of reasonable professionalism from this firm. A few...
