I do not say your laptop is old but definitely under-spec for what you are doing. 4gb memory is just barely enough for Windows. I would go with 8 and the ideal case would be 12 and over 12 would be waste of money unless you also run Matlab simulation or do FPGA/ASIC synthesis and P&R. I would...

Many people have your belief and you are not alone. Most probably your smarphone is also an Iphone as going with MAC pushes you to change other devices chain OS.

I have 2 laptops. Both Dell XPS17Z and XPS 14Z. Both are 5 years old and both have I7 second generation processor. 17 inch one is ON 24/7 and 14 inch which I carry is always in hibernate mode (I do not turn it off) and I had no problem with speed. Maybe bringing up the OS takes long time and...

MAC is a great PC but when you buy a MAC, you pay between $1700 to $3000 for a laptop and when you want to buy a Windows laptop, you buy a $350 one and then you want to compare them. Buy a $2000 Windows laptop and then compare with a MAC.

If you have too much faith on AAPL (which I don't and I believe everything is priced in) just sell PUT credit spread. 162.5-157.5 weekly. You can use the premium collected to buy the FB call spread. So everything will be free.

yes weekly. If you are nervous go higher strike prices or do nothing.

Yes sorry.

AAPL is in consumer electronics and and a DOW stock. Do not expect too much volatility after report. The chance that AAPL drops after report is higher than going up. Many are buying it that maybe it will repeat AMZN stock performance. No way that can happen. Selling some Iphone X is not a magic...

You can partition your HD and install virtual Linux but I believe it is too much. If your laptop is too slow that you hate it, it is not Windows fault. Do the following steps and then if it did not help, upgrade your laptop. 1- Uninstall any not used programs that you are not really using it. Be...

You can install Cygwin and run a Linix OS under Cygwin and see if you like it or not. What kind of HW do you have on your laptop? HD? 5400 vs 7200? RAM? Processor? Graphic card? How much free space do you have on your HD?

I will give you a better answer. Asumming that you are a market genius and you have trading in your blood, market fluctuations and simply some bad luck will kick you out of the market with 5K. I say you need 25K-50K to comfortably trade one contract and handle losses. But that is me.

My neighbor subscribed to their service for $160 a month about 10 years ago. He followed them religiously and after 3 months he was down just a few percent and then he quit. He told me their picks and then I looked them and many times I did an opposite trade or did it differently and I made some...

I wish I did the same but well I thought by selling out of the money calls and puts I am protected for 3% to 4% move but I was not. But with my excellent damage management I got out of it with profit. 400 shares of IBM ( I mean 4 contracts) and I made $2461.67. Not bad for a bad initial...

Nine_Ender I am not mad at you. Actually I like that you criticize me. My responses might show that I am angry or mad but I am not. Sorry if you think I offended you. Trading is my passion and I have been doing it with pride since 1995.

This is a new update. You want proof? I flood you with proof.

You want proof and I load you with proofs days in and out. Today was a bad day for me. Ouch. Only $1300.

I have always said, it is difficult to trade like me. I have given you many examples and I will give you another one. I sold PUT 140 and Call 150 on IBM before the earnings. IBM shot to over 162 after earnings. Did I panic? Hell no. Did I cover? hell no. I shot my 150 call to 2x 155 Call with...

I was quoting a guy who talks on CBOE TV clips. Definitely not in area and not in 85% of areas as you mentioned. maybe a trailer. What he meant was 100K for 100 shares of AMZN is a lot of money.

LOL

This was the average of many analysts. All copied from each other and just increased or subtracted by 1 cents in their estimate. :) As thereare too many moving parts to make a good prediction, the analysts should not be surprised by seeing AMZN had the same YOY earnings.
