Some of these characters ( like the OP ) really take the cake. Again, I wonder if Baron pays a bunch of college kids to create these absurd threads in the TRADING FORUM of all places just to keep "web-hits" up so that this marketing info can then be used to present to potential advertisers...

You nailed it! :D :D :D

Pabst, a buddy of mine was a high level trader at the Quantum Fund for a number of years. He said that no one could every figure out if Rogers actually traded because no one knew where he cleared out of. Suffice to say, they all thought that he simply took his partnership "split" from Soros in...

Damn! I wish the markets showed some sort of DIRECTION. :D Adult Swim Only today.

Exactly. I find that these guys are a lot more credible than the likes of JIM ROGERS who has never, ever had a losing trade. In my opinion, Rogers is full of BS.

It's very possible that things were in "good" shape just 2 days ago . . . Counter-party risk can change in a heartbeat and literally overnight.

What you just said above is TOO OBVIOUS. And as someone that I once traded for ( in "Market Wizards" ) . . . "What is obvious, is obviously wrong." "Daal" is correct. Bernanke has been getting more and more creative. I wouldn't be short over the weekend even if you put a gun to my...

He looks tired, and his tone is pretty defensive and "angry". He'll just blame Congress for everything, which is just what he is doing now. Typical. No leadership at all. Just blame someone else. :(

Excellent point.

:D

Yeah, it's been so difficult to trade because there has been "no clear direction" and no volatility at all. I wish the market would finally move one way or another . . . Woe is me. BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA !!! I nominate this for post of the MONTH! :D

And that's why you bought the UWM yesterday, right? :D http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1832681&highlight=UWM#post1832681 Give it a rest, Bro. Everyone on ET knows full well that you don't trade. All you do is generate web "activity" for Baron with your "cut and...

THEY are simply amazing, aren't they??? :D

Excellent work "Daal" and "Makloda". You guys are one big reason why I come back to this Trading Forum . . . and it sure beats the cut and paste "Gloom & Doom" garbage that those kids like "S2007S" constantly litters the forum with. Nice work! :)

While I agree that RAM is important ( especially when using the memory "hog" Windows Vista platform ) you really have no need to purchase any video-card over 256mb for trading. It just isn't necessary. In fact, 256mb is more than enough, and 128mb will do you just fine. In fact, I have an old...

As I indicated earlier, the Dell T3400 Precision Workstation is the way to go due to its flexibility. It comes with two PCI-Express 16x slots and can be ordered with nVidia NVS-290 graphics cards; even dual NVS-290 PCIe cards if you wish. :)

Just an FYI . . . I ordered a Dell Vostro last month, the 3.0 Deuo 2 Core. It was very nice, including an nVidia GeForce 8600GTS PCI-Express card. Unfortunately, I was unable to install a second graphics card in one of the two PCI slots ( at the bottom of the case ) to support a 3rd...

cars = contracts

Sad. but true. Listening to some of these idiots on the House Budget Committee asking "dumb" questions of Bernanke last month made me want to sell everything that I own in this Country . . . In fact, Ohio representative Marcy Kepler had Bernanke mixed up with Paulson. She thought Bernanke was...

Yes, the term "seat" is synonymous with membership. And the capital requirement of any member trading on the NYMEX floor ( for example ) is $50,000 while the COMEX requirement is only $25,000. In the end, it is the Clearing Firm that winds-up "guaranteeing" the member. They are on the hook...
