Mav, the Hardware and Software Forums are one of the few areas here on ET that involve intelligent ( and more often than not ) valuable discussion . . . as opposed to all of the absurd posts that litter the Trading Forum. Glad to see the quality of content on the Hardware Forum remain high...

Those are excellent numbers! You are fine. :cool:

We are not talking about speed-tests here. We are talking about "trace-routes", and the latency issues that revolve around the path that our ISP's take to the data-feed servers that we connect to with our brokers. A Speakeasy speed test ( although fun to do ) is not what this discussion has...

Yes.

The only thing that I heard that even comes close to what you have presented is when Comcast sought to block "file-sharing" in the U.S. last Fall. Comcast blocked (hindered) some uploads when it came to applications such as BitTorrent, eDonkey, etc. Late last month, Comcast decided to...

That is why I suggested having the OP do a simple trace-route.

Hyper-inflationary monetary expansion? How so? And please be specific with supporting data to base your claims. And what would you have to say about the ability of investment funds to leverage themselves up to the tune of 33:1 in an unregulated OTC market? In my opinion, we are where we...

You are incorrect in your claim. Tuco was NOT an isolated incident. The SEC has made "inquiry" type phone calls to "other" LLC's with the same business model and structure. I know this from personal experience late last month.

Correct. The buying power is replenished after each and every trade is closed out.

Excellent point. Given my experience with BOTH over the years, I would disagree. Throttled speeds by Comcast? Are you kidding? As a subscriber to the Blast service that Comcast offers, I would hardly call 16-23mb's on the download "throttled". :D My upload speed via Comcast...

I would tend to agree with all that you have stated. The crack spread is absolutely horrible right now, and for a variety of reasons it may not "snap-back" to the levels that are normally seen during a regular seasonal refining cycle. P/E contraction is certainly a very REAL possibility.

And what does the real estate market ( let alone the foreclosure rates that you speak of ) have to do with integrated oil companies like Chevron, oil drilling service companies like Diamond Offshore, defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Northrop, or General Dynamics, steel companies like...

You need to do a TRACE ROUTE ( off your DOS prompt in Windows ) to the IP address of the trading/quotation server that your trading platform connects to. In this way, you can see what kind of "latency" exists in the route that is taken to get back to the server which provides you with your...

It's true that the Bush Administration has had a political agenda when it comes to their economic policy. No doubt about it. I met a guy once whose son used to be the roommate of a guy that the Bush Administration "recruited" to become one of the economic advisors to the Administration. He...

In May of '98 they expanded production to the X5. Interesting to note, BMW purchases inputs for their production from 33 local South Carolina suppliers. Also, the employment multiplier is 3.9 Good stuff!

She's the ONLY original cabinet member of Bush's presidency. Everyone else has either retired, been canned, or indicted. Absolutely amazing.

DSL is severely handicapped compared to Cable because DSL involves a copper wire that only is able to give "decent" speed and service within 12,000 feet of the local telephone switching office. Cable is the way to go. The performance can be between 5-8 times FASTER with Cable vs DSL. It's...

An e-mail from the "ET Village Idiot" that I received over the weekend . . . TudorJones Registered: May 2006 Posts: 525 "You write this down: I'll be the richest man in the world one day. I plan to get there by making 100%+ per year for the next 20 years."
