    Larry Williams Million Dollar Challenge

    There's a damn good chance that there's more "deception" or "propaganda" in your statements in this thread than there was in Larry Williams trading account. I guess you're aware that Williams trading account was thoroughly investigated by the CFTC and the NFA. They found no wrongdoing as you...

    Purchasing & Renting Out for Extra Income

    My guess is that where these are located you'd have to bellycrawl up to the front door.:p OldTrader PS. If you are successful at find a property for $100K that rents for $600, there's no way you will see any income. Pencil it out. Include things like repairs, advertising, legal fees...

    Quadro NVS 290... Heat Issues?

    If you're referring to the heat sink on the card, no fan there. I can't tell you though what the fan set up is in general, since I didn't look all those times I had the case open. All I know is that the fan that was running so loud when I had that 440 installed no longer runs. LOL. Next time...

    The Implications Of Schindler and VN

    "Work" is one of those words. Certainly, there are automated systems that have "worked" for a while, maybe even a long while. But after several decades in the trading business, my belief is that automated systems don't "work" in the long run. The markets always change. And therefore, in...

    Quadro NVS 290... Heat Issues?

    Yes, 2- 290s, both x16s. They are separated by a x4 slot if memory serves. Nothing is in that slot. If I understood the report correctly, both the 290s are 56 C. OldTrader

    Gnome: I have 2 of the 290s installed. Temperature according to your download is 56 Degrees Centigrade. That's the GPU temperature. What's it all mean? OldTrader

    Life After (Failing at) Trading

    If I were a prospective employer, knowing what you just posted, a few things that would cross my mind would be: 1. What was there about your job that you disliked, that caused you to leave it? Has anything changed now? 2. Left a stable environment for an unstable environment, which then...

    Video Card Plan Fails

    I ended up installing two Nvidia 290 PCIe x290s. Working fine. Quiet, no fan noise. In fact, never had a computer this quiet. That fan noise I had was just with the Nvidia 440. Not sure what that was all about...whether the card caused a fan to come on, or it was something to do with the...

    Vista Service pack fix ?

    It's true they're coming out with a service pack. Whether it lives up to someones claims we'll see. Meanwhile, I bought a new computer and installed XP Pro. OldTrader

    Tower Position

    Is there any reason why you could not lay your tower on it's side as opposed to standing it vertically? I understand that the DVD player might be somewhat more difficult to use. But aside from that, would there be any technical issue that would arise from positioning a tower horizontally on...

    OMFG!!! Welcome to hell in America!

    It's obvious who you should vote for. McCain. Elect him and a Democrat congress, and you got a recipe for getting nothing done. And that's where we need to be. OldTrader

    How does one move beyond technical analysis?

    Exactly. I think the fundamentals are an important input. I think the technicals are important by the way. I just think that fundamentals have an important role to play for a trader and speculator. OldTrader

    A Credit Card You Want to Toss!

    No, it wouldn't be asking too much. In fact, it's called the Usury Law. What's humorous is that somehow the credit card companies must have figured out a loophole. Because trust me, 29%, (or 18% for that matter) is WAAAY over the usury limit. Look it up in your state...you will be surprised...

    POLL: If you studied a book/seminar/course, did you get Wealthy from Real Estate?

    You really don't need "negotiating tactics" when you have located the right situation. This could be a guy who can't sell to anyone else because his property is in such lousy condition. Or, this could be a guy who is going to have his property sold on the court house steps in 3 days. You...

    POLL: If you studied a book/seminar/course, did you get Wealthy from Real Estate?

    I've made a considerable amount of money over the years in real estate. Did I do it because of a seminar? No....but I did attend a few. And I would have to say that I generally learned a few things when I attended a seminar. I also read a large number of books on the subject. If I...

    For You PC Power Jockeys... Dell Precision T3400

    Never thought of myself as a "power jockey". LOL! But as you know, I bought the T-3400 recently. This is one fine piece of machinery. There's alot of flexibility as to how you configure this. And of course, as you add some of the options the price goes up. That said, while this...
