seagem - could just be as simple as they've all concluded that there's no such thing as real technical analysis (which includes support/resistance) for penny stocks. Pennies are the frontier where market makers routinely manipulate the prices (ask them privately and they laugh their butts off...

Got to say I'd prefer a Dell to a Compaq myself (never had good luck with Compaqs), but for those who don't care about maker, that Compaq config looks to be about $600 cheaper than the comparable Dell. Whether an individual "needs" a dual processor of course depends on what they're doing and...

In case anyone's interested, I just got a TigerDirect.com email announcing a bunch of what look like pretty cheap items or at least something to compare against if you're looking: Compaq Dual Xeon 2.4GHz PC w/512MB, Matrox G450 video, 36 GB Ultra160 SCSI, DVD/CD-RW combo, Soundblaster 128...

Probably because what the stockconsultant site does is of little practical added value for most traders, which would be why most T/A and charting software wouldn't bother with it. They're just drawing a bunch of lines from prior swing points, some/many of which are meaningless. You could do...

seagem - what are you trading that's not in the Trade Prospector database? If it's a stock with reasonable volume and not extremely low priced, they'll probably add it/them if you ask them. As far as the support/resistance lines being intraday, isn't that the tough part? On the daily...

Forget the Flynn Effect, have you seen the Springer Effect?? Based on a careful statistical sampling of the guests and regular viewers of Jerry Springer, the average IQ in the US is just under 50 :)

Better qualify that "single" with "single AND good looking" or you'll be sorry :) aphie - it's a potential networking opportunity or theoretically being able to find people with like tastes and interests for socializing, but then again similar IQs don't imply similar tastes (or in some cases...

That's the ASK - they could ask $100,000 for a beat up '66 Chevy, doesn't make it worth that much though. The quote on this one's 45x250 with a size of 1x10 :) Again, wondering what could possibly make anyone want to pay $200-300 for this book?? Especially given that the two more recent...

What could possibly make this book worth $250?? The two more recent books are $47 each.

Yannis - sorry, your humor must have been too subtle for me, finding it hard to tell when/if you're being sarcastic or serious. Yeah, the reason I asked earlier was because your "everyone in Heaven votes republican" addendum wasn't in the same vein as the original joke and it put a political...

prox - There are a hundred places to find this - just do a Yahoo or Google search. It's so old (pre-PC) and been replaced by other calculation methods that like so many of these floor trader "secrets" it's all over the place. It still works OK sometimes, but often misses by a bunch of...

An actual letter from home from a marine with the multinational force in Bosnia: Dear Dad, A funny thing happened to me yesterday here at the camp: A French army officer walked up to me in the PX and told me he thought we Americans were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a...

Yannis - Based on your response, I've got to ask whether you actually thought that reply was applicable and funny or you simply didn't understand abishiai's joke and thought it was some kind of political statement.

The level 1 best bid/ask quote includes all sources, so in order to "filter" only NYSE you'd probably have to manipulate the level 2 information and use only the NYSE record.

Wow, yet another fanatical religious debate about the evils of Microsoft and Windows and the elegant pristine beauty of Linux - complete with those ubiquitous "you don't know your a** from third base" kind of comments we've all come to expect and adore :) But why is this is in the Trading...

It's a clone of an experimental (mostly a toy) visual tool tried out on Wall Street about ten years ago. It didn't go anywhere then because it was no value added fluff. Cute visually, but that's about it - doesn't put any extra bucks in your pocket. But it does make sense that the OmniTrader...

Dog eat dog business. There are so many different insurance sources/choices, you've got to be a never say die salesman - especially since no one ever really wants to talk to an insurance salesman. Once you establish a decent client base, you keep getting recurring income though as long as the...

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as "reason" in Washington :) Would have to be more like "In a pack of thieving rat bastards who only care about lining their pockets with the public's money for as long as they can keep getting reelected - we don't trust them, but whoa be unto us - the...

Just some quick thoughts - "In God We Trust" was first placed on coins 140 years (in 1864) - not 50 years ago. The inclusion of "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance I believe did happen about 50 or so years ago though. That was about the time there was an official law...

They're closed on Christmas too. BTW, the markets aren't a government agency - so separation of church and state isn't an issue (although government agencies do close for Christmas). Markets close because the exchanges and the big trading houses have a lot of people who would take it off...
