    30 inch DELL and what video card to use so STERLING won't lag???

    In a trading application, the only thing you need your video card for is a frame buffer, that is, the number of pixels (example: 1024 x 768) by the color depth (24 bit color = 3 bytes per pixel). Do the math (1024 x 768 x 3 = ~ 2MB), the basic memory requirements for even large monitors is...

    How can I link up a common keyboard

    If you need it to be rock-solid go with a hardware KVM then you don't have to worry about a software bug causing you to have problems For your setup only hook up the keyboard and the mouse to the KVM, not the monitors...works fine I've used Linksys KVM's without any problem, example...

    Firewall software

    The best firewall is a hardware firewall. Note that a router that has some firewall features (they all do now) or acts like a firewall is not the same as a real firewall. If you want to monitoring outbound activity the firewall can send log records (syslogs) which you can then have...

    Dividend mining

    Interesting but even if the stock did trade the next day down by the full amount of the dividend and not some percentage of it, I doubt long-term investors would go through the trouble of selling and re-purchasing their stocks to avoid the dividend. The commission cost and the extra trouble it...

    Dividend mining

    I think this is turning into a semantic argument so let's take be clear: The previous day's closing price, which is nothing more than an historical data point, is adjusted down by the dividend amt when a stock goes ex-dividend. The price of a stock when its trading ex-dividend is...

    Dividend mining

    You seem to be suggesting that a particular price behavior of a stock right before it goes ex-dividend exists as a fact. If it indeed does then you have a huge edge right there that you could exploit without worrying about the dividend at all. [B] Why complicate this? If you think the...

    Dividend mining

    I always cringe when I read something like this although for the most part I agree with it, it still rubs me the wrong way. I'm talking about the statement that the stock price is reduced by the dividend amount. Stock prices are set by supply and demand. They may adjust the closing price...

    Best wireless router

    http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/component/option,com_wireless/Itemid,200/ You didn't mention any criteria for what you are looking for in a wireless router but it looks like the Linksys WRT400N is a good choice right now. http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/content/view/30775/96/

    Dividend mining

    (yawn) Did you actually read the "plan" that the OP wrote? I've done dividend capture in a SEP IRA account in certain thinly traded stocks that had ex-dividend patterns that can be exploited. Didn't see any mention of any such edge in rozar s'macco's plan.
