    Wednesday a guaranteed mess

    90 cents on the dollar is the end of the world if you are leveraged 30:1. It was never about this 'toxic' debt being worthless - its about what happens when you are leveraged to the hilt with assets that start declining in value.

    Yes, Mr. Hedge Fund Manager, oh wait, that's right you are also the CEO...(any other grandiose self personalities you would like to add?) We all know you are far too important and busy to waste your time here explaining why you have failed to live up to the performance standards that you...

    Will walking away turn into an epidemic?

    http://www.mortgagereliefformula.com/recourse/ Going after someone who doesn't have any assets isnt going to get the lenders anywhere - that will just rack up the legal fees.

    "Buy 100 SOLF @ 15.35 = $1535.00" Three questions: (1) Are the prices listed actual trades or simulated trades? (2) Why are all the equity trade prices even multiples of $0.05? (3) Where are commissions accounted for?

    The three C2 systems I linked were the three oldest ones, they were not chosen with bias. You have continued to create new systems on C2 as your old ones have failed/been discontinued. What does that say? In May 07 you started this thread and the first C2 system I linked to...

    By REAL progress, do you mean that won't end up being flatlined at the bottom of the equity graph like these previous C2 attempts? http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/systems.mpl?want=publicdetails&systemid=26557785...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    I am currently running over a 200Mbps connection (enterprise class fiber connection). I don't have any first hand experience with uverse. A lot of latency depends on how your ISP is interconnected with the destination (the path that your traffic takes). For instance you can see from...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Each hop of the traceroute shows you the latency from you to that hop. You don't add up the hops and really its the last hop (your final destination) that matters - the intermediate hops gives you can idea about where bottlenecks may be (e.g. if you see a sudden jump in the latency...

    Bulls are back- enough of this doom & gloom

    Wow, you must be a troll, no one can be this dim. What % of US population are homeowners? What % of US economy is driven by consumer spending? If you think that "housing and financing" could completely die off and not destroy the economy then you really don't understand how the economy...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Fair enough. However the vast majority of DSL users are connected to DSLAMs in CO's not remote pedestals. But that is something that you can (and should) find out before you signup for DSL (where your copper connection terminates). It goes back to my point that the OP needs to figure...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    The difference is that both cable and DSL can suffer from bottlenecks from the CO to the internet - that's a given for any ISP technology (fiber included) Only cable suffers the additional potential issue of congestion from the premise back to the CO - technologies that give a dedicated...

    Best internet connection for scalping- trying to decide between cable and dsl ?

    Cable is seldom 5-8 times faster then DSL, in fact there is DSL available that is faster then some cable implementations, especially if you look at real-world perofrmance numbers and not just the numbers that cable companies advertise but rarely deliver. Yes, DSL has distance limitations and...
