bungrider - If the choice were between XYZ desktop and a shuttle-based config or someone had a uniquely compelling need to routinely lug around a fairly ruggedized desktop equivalent, those are all key differentiating factors. But laptops have made a big leap in the last year or so and...

I must have missed something. The specs don't seem to show that much (if any) more power than those Toshiba laptops. What extra do you get in exchange for having to lug it around in a steamer trunk?

hapaboy - Mostly difference in weight (1905 is about a pound heavier) and different video (think the 1905 has S-video output option). External video output also has a higher resolution on the 1905. The 2415 has 3 USBs vs. the 1905's 2 USBs. The 1905 has a Firewire connector that the 2415...

Ha, ha, ha, ha...ROFLMA...oh my gosh, the unbridled inanity of that is just too funny!! It's always hilarious to hear brainwashed, uninformed hyperbole from the eUNIc contingent. Have you been smoking rolled up Linux World magazines again?

I might have misunderstood your post, but it sounded like you were saying that they're doing a bate and switch and the dividend is going to be cut in half after the first dividend. The per share dividend is cut in half because the stock's splitting 2 for 1. Since the price per share is also...

Yeah, but it sounds a whole lot better than "Las Vegas Craps Fund" :)

Off topic, but an interesting signature - nice idea in theory, but it's hardly a near term reality in large scale application. Have you given any thought to how they'll deliver liquid hydrogen to "gas" stations across the country? What level of enormous infrastructure change that is? Not just...

The significant support is the 8000-8300 region, not just the one line you have drawn on your chart.

Here's some more McDonald's comments from that same newsletter from last night: McDonald's posted a larger than (their) forecast quarterly loss on higher than (Greenberg) expected "restructuring" charges. I love that term "restructuring charge". It nicely glosses over the underlying...

I agree with you. Almost everyone ignores the warning labels because most of them are so stupid or useless. I think that was point of that article, that all those dumb warnings exist because some idiot did something stupid, found some sheister to sue the company, got a jury equally stupid to...

Found this McDonald's commentary too from the same newsletter a couple nights ago (not as funny as the one last night, but some good points): McDonald's is launching a new Happy Meal campaign with the Betty Spaghetti dolls - apparently without a clue that most of their Happy Meal promotions...

Partial commentary from a newsletter from last night: Finally sanity ruled in the courts today. A US District Court judge tossed out a frivolous lawsuit against McDonald's that alleged that their food caused obesity in the children mentioned in the suit. OH PLEASE - slam McDs for mediocre...

shorty - what kind of scanning criteria do you want to do against the intraday data?

Check out tigerdirect.com - they've got Mag 18" LCDs $399 (after a $50 rebate) including built-in speakers, stand, and manufacturer's warranty - I believe for another $99 they'll extend the warranty for two more years. If you don't need 18", they've got $200 15" panels. Always price shop...

Ah, but was the volume from initiated buys or sells?

Looks like after Carol Boroden left (probably couldn't sell enough of her useless yet expensive Fibonacci cluster subscriptions), they've replaced her with some other Fibonacci goon who's trying to sell his service. In fact, I got a damn telemarketing call from these guys over the weekend...

bvam - 1. The NQ tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, not the Nasdaq Composite. 2. Futures do NOT have strikes. They trade only at whatever their price is at the moment - just as the SPY or QQQ trade at their price relative to the index. 3. Futures are not options - they don't have a "time...

The subject was about regression channels. I was referring to using a dynamic regression channel - one that moves as time passes (rather than just drawn from one point on the chart to another manually) giving you a picture of the current trend channel for whatever timeframe you're interested in...

TG - When you try trade prospector, in addition to all the other stuff it does, you can set up your own filters and use the available market scanners. There are also a variety of pre-defined layouts (including the skyscraper and bottom fisher scans you mention) that you can load and then...

You can also use one or more dynamic channels to gauge the current direction and relative range and enter/exit based on channel breaks.
