"Hugely popular".... for the parasite tit-suckers, of course. Put a stop to the freebies and the native won't have to leave.

The "end of that"... is that YOU'RE FULL OF CRAP! How 'bout them apples? If you've ever put a "data flow" monitor on your computer (which you obviously have NOT), or you'd know the notion of "> 14GB/s"... to "bog down video"... is completely ridiculous! If you're going to post on this board...

I doubt this is true. I can't imagine that even the most wild and crazy volatile times that the video cards would be "unable to keep up". While you may perceive "something bogging down" at such times, it won't be the video cards. (Even basic 2-port workstation video cards can handle 14GB/s...

1. Windows Task Manager... check it when running all of the apps you usually do. See what percentage of CPU is being used and how much RAM. 2. What matters most? NONE OF THE ABOVE... unless you're running tic charts or custom indicators. And if that's the case... the more power the better...

Video: Shooting Survivor Says Police Firing Blanks For Drill Before Rampage https://www.infowars.com/video-shooting-survivor-says-police-firing-blanks-for-drill-before-rampage/ "Firing blanks... to scare students.... at the venue of an actual shoot-up"? (Since when do police go into any...

Disagree. I'd advise buying 3-yr old workstation for 25% the cost of originally new.

If there is no 3rd party to hold you accountable (like clients or a boss), it's IMPORTANT that you "hold yourself accountable"... for trades you did poorly, for trades you missed, for stop discipline not exercised, etc. IOW... at the end of each month, give yourself a "report card"... and...

Only matters if his retirement account was a large percentage of his "total investment capital". If not, this story is just "MSM histrionics".

Seems you're trying to compare "massive data massage something" as a justification for hardware choice. Not relevant to real-time usage in a trading rig.

A good point. Most "headaches" will be resolved with a fresh install of the OS and current drivers. After all, running W7 on "new" hardware not likely to be much diff from running W7 on "old" hardware. (If the "headaches" are genuinely due to hardware, likely the rig... or part of it...

If your indicators are "canned"... that is ones you can select from your software.... they are pre-programmed to load into RAM, run from there, and use very little CPU time. If they are custom or tic calculations, the CPU will be running full-tilt. GPUs are used to update prices, bars...

Personally, I recommend all trader rigs be on workstations with Xeon CPUs... greater longevity, likely greater reliability (workstations are supposed to have "server-class" components beyond just the Xeon CPU), etc. I will use no other until shown something better. Purchased wisely, no more...

The 4110 Sliver is only about 5% faster than the W-2123. Is 5% worth $670? Is the 78xx a dual CPU mobo? If so, do you need that? Personally, I'd go with the W7 Pro version... While "Ultimate" has more bells and whistles, "Pro" versions usually get better/longer support than the others...

Hadn't paid attention to the discrepancy before and am not "looking into it" now... But with similar difference today, offer this as a possible explanation... The difference has existed for a long time, is continuing to grow, and may be the cumulative "costs" of the QQQ (since its inception)...

Wasn't a "get rich" quick play. Follow up on the story indicated the fund has $350MM in assets but bought only $200k worth of puts... made $17MM, which is ~5% gain to the fund. Nice catch, but not a game changer.

Wasn't there a story about the trader nicknamed as "50 Cents"... who kept buying vol calls @ $.50.... losing time after time, until he hit it big for a $400MM profit.... of course he was down $200MM before that, but still... a $200MM net profit is a good thing for those who get it. Of course...

True. When it comes to politics... seem all that matters is "what I want right now".

What? Never gave that a thought. I was commenting upon political "flip flop". Romney had a chance against Odumbo. But he campaigned like he "intended to lose on purpose". Like his "candidacy" was all a sham.

Sad to say, but perhaps a requirement.... Metal detectors and "restricted entry"... (enter through only one or a few doors)... with security guards at the post. We have such at government buildings and airports. Perhaps we should have them at schools too?? (Sick! I understand. But there is...

Of course. There was a story about how some small Colorado hedge fund made 86x their money on a bet with buying SVXY puts. (6300 put contracts @ $.34... turned into $28) The "long volatility" bet was tried over and over again with futility...until it hit BIG! (Not a game for every trader.)
