LOL. Wouldn't it be fantastic if you can do that? Imagine selling what you don't own. Take the proceed to lend to other people and collect risk free interests.

It was Sept '08. And yes I remember it well. Shitty protectionism. They put on extra charge for shorting GS. I paid it. It was worth it. :)

To me it seems that this thread was started not as much on complaining about Windows 7 but showing how knowledgeable you are on computers and operating systems, and most of all, how big your dick is.

Why do people buy Rolex? To tell time more accurately, of course! :p For me, I use a Timex digital watch $19.95 to tell time. Good enough for me. All my 4 PC boxes, HP/Compaq, bought at Fry's at lower than $400. They are "good enough" for my trading. It all depends on what...

This doesn't make sense to me. Don't trade as much? Why would trading volume you do have direct impact on taxes? Did you mean "don't make as much"? Would someone refuse to make more money because making more money requires paying more taxes? (Yes... I know somebody would) But is this a...

Thanks for the tips Mike and Rock. I use Diamond and IOGear USB-to-DVI devices. Perhaps it's the manufacturer issue? Need to check it out.

A caution about those USB to DVI devices to hook up external monitors to a laptop. I have a couple of them, different makes... but both suffer the same problem. If you look at relatively static displays on the USB-driven monitor it should be okay. But if you use it for real-time price charts...

It depends on when the "big gain" was made on trading in 2009. If you made those gains in Q4 2009, you still have time to file estimated tax without penalty. Deadline for Q4 2009 estimated tax is Jan 15, 2010. If your gains were throughout the year (Q1, Q2, Q3), you are supposed to make...

Why are you reading a webpage that was produced/updated in January of 2000? Figures/studies cited are based in 1999 and 1998. Who trades the same way as he/she did ten years ago?

That's a fantastic way of mounting, davidmaria! Thanks for the inspirations! I never thought of mounting with only 2 screws. But if it is strong enough, why not? Super.

I don't know enough about these technical specs on the rating... contrast ratio or response time or what not. I do trust my own eyes. I have an assortment of different monitor makes: Envision, Samsung, Acer, LP, etc.. I have them on side by side (I have 21 LCD monitors all in use at the...

I use a few Samsung SyncMaster 2243SWX monitors (22") - as well as some 23". They are very nice and I love them. The contrast ratio is 15000:1. I don't see other monitor models ofeering that. It means your black will look more black. LOL. Light weight Robust (survived my trips in...

Depends on your definition of "go down". Like I said up-stream, I experience hick ups with DSL regularly, about once a day to once every 2 days. I rely on using DSL to get my real time price feeds. I stare at multiple charts for 6.5 hours a day. When the price feeds stop (DSL hick ups)...

I use DSL and Comcast cable modem both for day trading at home. I do fairly active trading. I use the DSL modem/router to share the DSL bandwidth with 3 computers regularly, all running TradeStation application with about 20-30 charts each (Each computer drives 6 monitors). The DSL (AT&T)...

And how many people have you known? I personally don't know a single millionaire. So I really doubt if anybody can make over a million dollars. Why make fun of what works for other people? I have over 20 monitors. And yes I use them all to help me trade everyday. But I don't make fun...

Eye-ball your charts.

I had bought and used a wireless Logitech trackball a few years back. After a while it went haywired and died. Called Logitech. They sent me a replacement. Again, died after a short while. I packed up that one for good. Too much hassle to deal with. Wire doesn't bother me too much.

I use Logitech trackballs exclusively now. Got 5 of them. I like trackballs because I don't need to move my palm/wrist. Just use the thumb to move the pointer.

I usually refrain myself from getting into these bickering and pissing contests. I consider them time wasting. It seems that on ET anybody who stood up for some products and services is automatically a shill. Let me just say something here: I have taken the 7-day Pro Trader class from...

Investors think they are king because they've caught on to one of the rare bullish runs from March 2009 through now. And everybody is a stock genius because they bought C, BAC, AAPL, BIDU at the bottom. Let us so conveniently forget BIDU was at a high of 370 before it dropped to close to...
