    The TudorJones official hedge fund fan club thread

    The fact that BARON allows this thread and this person to continue posting just goes to show you that he couldn't careless about the quality of content on ET. As someone that worked for PTJ in the early days in 1986 as a full-employee, I can honestly say that this guy is a complete idiot...

    Dell Precision T3400

    It's always good to check out the owner's manual ahead of time on the Dell Support site. It has a TON of very useful info: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/wst3400/en/ug/ug_en.pdf Notice that the 525 watt power supply comes with not one, not two, but THREE +12v rails and will...

    Average American family "can't pay their bills"

    I never had ANY dental issues for the first 40 years on this planet. But one must keep in mind that a person's body and chemistry changes as time goes by . . . and sometimes teeth "break" too. I had 11 cavities in one year from "de-calcification" that just all of a sudden "happened" - - -...

    Average American family "can't pay their bills"

    Please tell me where one can find a house in California for $90,000. :D You're freaking dreaming. Time for a reality "check" in the 6th largest Economy in the world, my friend.

    Average American family "can't pay their bills"

    With all due respect, it is a pretty naive assumption to assume that anyone that is self-employed and has health insurance ALSO has dental insurance. Dental insurance is a different "animal" and the insurance benefits for dental flat-out suck. Reimbursement is at best, 50%. Ever had a...

    There is NO other Shoe to Drop!

    She stays at Goldman. But David Kostin becomes in charge of forecasting "short-term" market moves for Goldman.

    Assent

    Sub-Account LLC's are done with. The SEC continues to make "inquiry" phone calls to these LLC's and they are shutting down left and right. The Tuco situation was not an isolated event. The SEC is making more phone "inquiries". If you open up a Retail Account with Assent ( $25,000 minimum...

    Bear Stearns-- the long and the short of it

    Frank, I don't know anyone at Bear anymore, nor do I know how long the "lock-up" period is. But a recent WSJ online article claims the following: "And many Bear Stearns’ bankers are are least partially locked in for two reasons: the vast majority of their earnings is related to stock...

    Assent

    Remote platform fees are $100 per month. If you trade out of an Assent branch office, there usually aren't any platform fees.

    Market In Confirmed Rally Mode: Investors Business Daily

    The $3.45 TRILLION in money market assets compared to the $2.2 TRILLION at the market low of March of 2003, is quite a telling statistic. So has the 10 straight months of NET mutual fund outflows. But the "Doom and Gloomers" on ET just don't want to wake-up to the "backstop" that is tied...

    Bear Stearns-- the long and the short of it

    It is highly unlikely that any other U.S. bank has the flexibility or strength on their balance sheet to absorb Bear and their $395 Billion dollar balance sheet. Also, you would have to trample on Paulson's ego in order to change up this deal. The only higher "deal" would be a "sweetened"...

    Goldman Sachs really needed the new emergency loan window?

    Excellent point. I would tend to agree with all of the above.

    ECC vs NECC Ram

    Due to the correcting nature of ECC RAM, there is indeed some "latency" compared to Non-ECC RAM. You can compare the "basics" at Wikipedia.

    Thank you Bernanke. For laying a Bear Trap.

    Yeah. I seem to remember that on Monday of this week he was totally SHOCKED that the Dow held-up as well as it did given that Bear Stearns needed "help". The guy then spent the next 3 days posting 40 times a day "rationalizing" why the market "could have, should have, would have" opened a...

    The TudorJones official hedge fund fan club thread

    Well, since you are unable to recall the acronym on my trading badge, why don't you just name who I am? Feel free to also name several of the others that were employees of the firm back in 1986, including the two guys that worked in the Dollar Index ring and the Cotton ring, along with the...
