    DOCSIS 3.0 will come out at some point this year via Comcast, with "up to 160 megabytes per second" download speeds. This will help Comcast compete with FIOS/Verizon. http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/01/08/ces.comcast.ap/index.html

    FiOS vs Docsis 3.0

    In January, CNN reported that Comcast plans to use DOCSIS 3.0 in order to boost speeds "up to 160 megabits of data per second." http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/01/08/ces.comcast.ap/index.html Can't wait.

    Comcast Ups Speed with "Blast"

    FYI: With Comcast "Blast" I've gotten Speakeasy speed test results of 21 mb's on the download within the local fiber optic network inside of California . . . ie. ) from LA to SF. However, as soon as you jump onto the internet "superhighway" you are at the leisure of other people's networks...

    For You PC Power Jockeys... Dell Precision T3400

    I just upgraded to a new Dell Vostro-400 destop computer on Win XP Pro with an Intel Duo-Core E6850 processor at 3.0 GHz., with a 1333 FSB from my 4.5 year old Dell Dimension 8300 ( Pentium 4 at 2.60 GHz. on XP ) and guess what? My UPLOAD speed increased from 600 kbps to 3,000 kbps! And...

    Fios or T1?

    FYI: There is no difference between Comcast Home broadband service and their Business service. I've checked.

    New PC. What to do now?

    I just upgraded to a new Dell Vostro-400 destop computer on Win XP Pro with an Intel Duo-Core E6850 processor at 3.0 GHz., with a 1333 FSB from my 4.5 year old Dell Dimension 8300 ( Pentium 4 at 2.60 GHz. ) and guess what? My UPLOAD speed increased from 600 kbps to 3,000 kbps! Unreal. :p

    Capital Gains Rate to 28%?

    Wrong. Huckabee's tax is not a VAT, but instead a tax on consumption at the end user. He claims that a 23% "Fair-Tax" would pay for our Federal Government's expenses . . . If you believe that, I have a "bridge" that I would like to sell you down in Arizona. Oh, and what kind of a "Black...

    Comcast Ups Speed with "Blast"

    That's not even really the issue, given that once you leave the "local" network of the Comcast provider, it then sends you out onto the Internet Superhighway where the lines are from "other" carriers such as AT&T, Level-3, UUNET, etc. Your local provider has NO control over those lines. I...

    Comcast Ups Speed with "Blast"

    Fios is not offered in many areas; thus it is not a comparable option.

    Comcast Ups Speed with "Blast"

    However, the real problem is that if you have to travel outside of your local (Comcast) metropolitan network, let alone out of state to connect to a trading/quote server that is on opposite ends of the country, your speed will not be anywhere near what it is on your "local" network. For...

    Why should anyone buy stocks now?

    I'm sorry, but are you "new" to this game? Technically speaking, the 200 day MA is practically meaningless.

    Assent

    The "Anvil" trading platform is excellent and is built for speed. No historical data-base for charting to weigh the platform down. Intra-Day charts only. No technical indicators. Great for scalping. The tech-support group is extremely knowledgeable. Company is always willing to spend...

    Why should anyone buy stocks now?

    Oh, and for what it's worth the indexes do not always make V-Bottoms to signal a "washout" and the end to a Bear trend. Just something to keep in mind. :)

    Why should anyone buy stocks now?

    You are a rather impatient fellow, are you not? The market is obviously very nervous; that no one can deny. But you are seriously deluding yourself if you do not think that the stock market is a market of stocks and sectors. For example, take a look at NBR and PTEN over the last week...

    Eric Bolling: Cut losers quick is the key to making money.

    Boy, does this photo bring back some memories from many moons ago . . . ( taken from Tudor Investment's original office at 160 Broadway, Room 905 ) I sat in that same chair on many an occasion, except PTJ was the one with enormous balls! :D He was never afraid to dump a "loser". He was...
