What lead you to believe that is true?

Wouldn't it be great if folks actually took the time to read the thread before they took a cheap shot at the thread originator? Nah, that's what so great about ET, so many folks posting about stuff that they don't really understand.

False. You can trade futures in an IRA and if the futures position moves suddenly against you you can easily end up at less then zero because you only have to have enough cash in the IRA to meet margin requirements, not the full contract value.

Just saw this article and thought someone here might find it of interest: Acme ships a three-screened "portable" computer http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/acme-ships-a-three-screened-portable-computer/

Nothing you wrote speaks to the quality of his posts which should be all that matters here...his posts are devoid of any intelligence and add nothing to ET. He simply repeats the same thing again and again like a parrot.

Depends what you are doing with them, the read times are fast and the access times blow away any mechanical hard drives. If you want to compare performance aspects of different drives why don't you just go to StorageReview.com?

(bump) Seems apropos

The web site or the trading app (Navigator)? I'm logged on with the latter right now - no probem.

The problem, as described, never has the odds of the coin being under a cup as 50/50. I don't care what other examples you come up with, how your brain is or is not connected or how great you did in high school AP math. I'm tired of reading your long posts which are a combination of "yes I...

Oh yea, its clear you "get it" alright. 50/50 situation?!? I love how you are trying to carefully dance around the truth without using any words that you now realize are false. You can't say 50/50 chance or 50/50 odds, so its a 50/50 situation - whatever the hell that means. Are you...

The fact that the ratio's are the same is not relevent - the answers you gave were wrong and its the answers that matters here, not the ratio's between them. 1/6 written in English is 1 out of 6. To say that a 1 out of 6 chance (~16%) is the same as a 1 out 3 chance (~33%) is incorrect...

Try to make this about me, Wiki, anything but the fact that you didn't know what you were talking about when you posted. Sorry but your mental diarrhea its right there for all to see:

Your quote clearly says that you thought the original odds were 1/6 and 1/3 after switching..now after looking at it with "finer detail" you come to the conclusion that its actually 1/3 and 2/3, just as I wrote. It takes a big man to admit when you are wrong - you are quite small. I...

You read the article where is says in big bold print "Why the probability is 2/3" and yet you still believe that the correct answer is 1/3? :confused: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Why_the_probability_is_2.2F3 What the article says has a 1/6 chance of happening is that...

The decision to switch or not switch is not subject to "chance". Saying that the odds of picking the correct cup and not switching implies that you dont have control over the decision to switch which is false. You can enumerate all the possible choices (picking the correct cup to begin with...

The original odds of picking the correct cup are 1/3. The odds of getting the correct cup if you switch your choice after an empty cup is eliminated is 2/3. The odds are never 1/6.

You can try to spin this any way you want but there is no case in which your statement in bold below is correct. The odds are never 50/50 - clearly you didn't understand that when you posted, its not clear if you understand it now. It would be nice if folks would just admit it when they made...

Yes, batman did not type the example correctly. If the person just randomly removes one of the two remaining cup (that may or may not contain the coin) then there is no point to the whole discussion and changing your pick doesn't increase your odds at all. The fact that the cup which is...
