One recent net -net stock was K-Mart. It was indeed far below it's book value. The management took the company into bankruptcy, killed the existing stock, came out of bankruptcy with new stock. The holders of the old stock got zip. I did not know that was a doable thing but I knew a guy that had...

Hee hee... I had a Renault, the gauges melted on a hot day in the mojave, it was funny, all the pointers were bent. You could buy brand new replacement fuel pumps from the dealership and they would not work. I got rid of it, I owed some bucks to a guy I really could not stand so I talked the...

I find that I can use thought, reason, and logic to move towards delusional fantasy if I work at it a little.

They did. The bad guys started using wiring. Then I said "why don't they put up infra red cameras or use the little drone planes or satellites even, to observe the routes and watch the guys as they bury the bomb and lay the wire and at the last minute call in an air strike to explode the bomb...

I had orders sit for days with ARCA while the price traded right past my limit. They don't have to execute anything unless they are trading it too, and they don't. OTC is bullshit, I guess market regulators know that there has to be a bullshit market for people that play games, OTC is it.

I lived in a house that was built into a hillside. It could be way too hot outside but that bottom floor was always cool so long as you kept the windows closed. We would open them at night and close them at sunup and spent nothing at all on cooling. What chaps my hide is how these builders...

Uhhh... Hezebola is Shiite. Do you first attack your enemies and their supply lines in a war or what? And hell yes there is method to Israel's actions and always will be. They are surrounded by a half billion people that seem to think it is ok to do psychotic things like cut off people's...

Any time in the next 24 hours would be fine with most people in the US I am sure. Actually, the current Iranian government came to power by outlawing moderate candidates. They did not come to power with a real mandate from their voters. They are also losing support because people are...

They still don't have a grid application like Radarscreen from Tradestation. When they have that I might look into their products further. I have used a number of their data feed third party apps and Beta tested one, they do software really well as far as I can tell.

That's gotta be tough!!

The most fun car I ever had, believe it or not, was a 70 Maverick. I got it from a drunk, his wife did not want him to drive and she pressured him to get rid of it, picked it up real cheap because a mechanic told the guy it needed a trans and I found that it only had a linkage problem. I put a...

The tax system is a huge number of loopholes written for specific businesses and individuals that donate to campaigns, I have looked at it myself that is what it is, after the Reagan reforms and before. When they start complaining how it is too complicated or whatever, they just want to scrap it...

Regarding just the Banana republics, [I know that was just a way of saying we will be in a depression], but they are poor because the leadership is corrupt way more than anything else. Corruption in the USA is not in a runaway mode, there are some corrupt corporate and [many] corrupt government...

A relative had a Hawk in perfect condition in storage and it got totaled in a fire ~ 5 years back. I never drove it, should have asked. They still had buyers lined up for even burned up.

Holmes , is there a tutorial linked somewhere you recommend? I had no idea such gains were available.

They nick some commish from every trade, that can really add up. In the same league would be Tradestation 2000 and using Hyperorder to autotrade with IB but you will not pay extra commish.

After 20 years in the Mojave Desert [120 degrees with low humidity is common] I experienced 121 degrees with humidity a couple of weeks ago in the next valley over, working in a house with no cooling to boot. Not a problem for me, I was comfy.

1954 Chevy 210 4 door column shift 3 speed, straight six. I squeezed a couple years out of it and it was off to the junk yard. I still have a chevy though, Camaro is way, way better :D

Long after you quit the place they will be sending you statements about how you have $3 in your account but they won't respond if you try to close it and get the money. It's annoying.
