What was he before now?

While he may be wrong about you working for ET his characterization of your posting history is spot-on ... thus definitely not 100% wrong

If you do a full image backup (as opposed to backing up select files/directories) then everything is backed up - even files that are locked/in-use like your Outlook PST file. In case of needing to do a full restore - you would boot the Acronis CD and point it to the Acronis backup file (which...

Really depends on your data but as a point of reference when I do an Acronis full image backup on my laptop with 89GB(of 106GB) used the image file is 55GB however I do have a fair amount of compressed data (zip'd) on my machine. I would estimate with maximum compression you could get it down...

That was my first thought too when I read this too but I checked out the Nero site and it looks like they have a backup product that is different from their burning software: http://www.nero.com/enu/backitup-and-burn-introduction.html "Back up data to hard drive, CD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc...

Price then $27.50, Price now $27.20 "+.60%" from where?

Pretty sure that sticking with large scale nuclear power plants that provide electricity to cars (via the grid) would be much better both economically as well as with regard to safety. Do you really want to have hazmat crews show up every time there is an accident? The cost of the RTG's...

Everyone has to set their own priorities, if home ownership isn't yours then rent. Financial aspects aside, renting isn't like owning, there is only so much effort you are going to put into improving & customizing a place that isn't yours. Cars are almost always a lousy investment but I...

If you are working under the "assumption the stock will continue to creep up every month" then you would maximize your profit by buying ATM calls each month. Personally I think that is a flawed assumption but that wasn't the question...

Gasoline doesn't magically appear in cars either - you need to factor all the energy that is consumed exploring, retrieving, transporting and refining oil into gasoline. One key difference is that it is possible to produce electricity cleanly even if most of it today is not produced that...

If you really want to do that you can without a dedicated PC: http://docs.google.com/ "Create and edit web-based documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. Store documents online and access them from any computer."

That sounds like a classic description of a curve-fitted system. Any long-biased system would have done well in the past 6 months but how will it do when the market trends down? In general if you a system that works well only in certain market conditions (trending vs non-trending for...

Agreed but there are signs of hope, I saved a lot of money by getting a quote from these folks on my last refi early this year, told IndyMac that I wanted to use them for my title insurance (which I am allow to picked by law), they were adamant about using their "usual" title company since they...

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=TradersExpo I'm curious why you think that any prop trader who was making big money would be wasting their time reading a thread on EliteTrader with the title "Truth for Beginners"?

Exactly, if you think we are headed towards inflation, having a big fixed rate mortgage is a good thing.

You shorted 900 shares of AMZN in your first screenshot (copied below) maybe that is what he is talking about?

I disagree with all 4 points. (1) Changing houses later is expensive, buying a house that will meet current and expected future requirements is wise as long you don't buy more house than you can reasonably afford. (2) Why? (3) Its a lousy investment (4) Depends on your situation but...

Couldn't agree more - can't help but laugh when you see real estate "professionals" nervously badmouthing up and coming sites like Zillow and Redfin. They know their days of big commissions for minimal work are numbered and its been long overdue. Don't worry "pros", I'm sure you won't have...

What a tool. The IRS Whistleblower program is for people who don't pay their taxes, not for reporting people who don't make estimated tax payments. Anyone trying to report someone else for this (from an anonymous web site no less) will get laughed out of the IRS office.
