I can't believe no one mentioned .... the orders are in a price / time queue. When you place your order you are at the back of the queue. So if you keep changing your order you will probably need a trade-through to get filled. If you place your order hours ahead of time and let it sit there, you...

Yep most of the trading for coffee is done on ICE (formerly called the NY Board of Trade). The NYMEX market is pretty dead. The contract specifications are here https://www.theice.com/productguide/ProductDetails.shtml?specId=15 As you can see it is quoted in "Cents and hundredths of a...

No trade today because the signal is ambiguous!

I prefer the Meinberg NTP implementation because it profiles how your clock is drifting so it can adjust it in real time with fewer trips to the internet. I am storing quotes and log files which have timestamps, so it is important that the clock doesn't jump around when it synchronizes. What was...

My first trade ever, bought Sandisk at $70 in 2000. Doubled up at $11 in 2002. Sold at $65 in 2003, for a net profit. I had no idea what I was doing.

Could be a flaky RTC chip ..... on top of that, Windows can't keep time well with ACPI turned on (not a problem for Linux), and the problem also gets even worse if you have dual core or quad core CPU. But don't worry about any of that, install the NTP service to transparently and optimally...

+1 Also if she really has good credit, can't she clean it up with 1 or 2 balance transfers? I have good credit and get balance transfer offers a couple times a week, 0% for 9 months and 12% thereafter. Even with the balance transfer fee not a bad deal.

Obama needs to get on this problem

Question .... when these ARM rates are reset, isn't it pegged to the fed rate + some amount, which is currently quite low?

Very interesting, If unemployment remains high, that is a recipe for disaster in 2010-2011. And the Alt-A crowd can hurt consumer spending much more than the subprime crowd.

Wow, Jack Hershey made a real time call, and even a bearish call for the long term. I hope he's right, I could really use the volatility.

Conflicting info here? (I don't trust WorldNetDaily) http://www.safehaven.com/article-12560.htm "Starting in 1930 and continuing through 1933, almost 9,100 commercial banks failed with deposits of $6.8 billion. The deposits of these failed banks represented 13.3% of total commercial bank...

Don't spend more than you have?

But then again, haven't the politicians always run it this way? Maybe I'm too young.

I like that guy

There are so many ways that Dr. Cannell is confused about Dr. Marshall's work, even missing some basics - so I won't even begin. But I would like to say that the science is moving forward. Dr. Marshall now has 5 papers regarding his work published in journals, 3 are peer reviewed, has received...

Truehawk - great post, you are decades ahead of most. This is why the current state of medicine is an unsolvable problem. The number of bacteria living within the body of the average healthy adult human are estimated to outnumber human cells 10 to 1. Vitamin D is just one part of this puzzle...

Since 25-D and 1,25-D are opposites (one is an agonist, the other an antagonist, of the VDR which transcribes those 3000 genes), every "positive" outcome has a flip side. High 25-D strenghtens bones, but high 1,25-D causes osteopenia (of course they only publish the first result) High 1,25-D...

Yep, and doctors don't have any tools to actually make people healthy. As long as this is the case, health care is an unsolvable problem. Chronic disease rates are higher than ever, even in young people. I also submit that the alternative health community is not faring much better. Most...

Let me rephrase .... the only reason Vitamin D and other "miracle cures" palliate such a wide range of diseases is because of the short-term anti-inflammatory effect. If you take enough Vitamin D that your 25-D is maintained higher than 1,25-D, you will feel better, but your disease remains, and...
