when they write it off, do they need to take a large one time charge? I really think that thses new rules will really be major and some co.'s will report rather impressive new income numbers even though cash flow remains the same. I'm surprised that more people aren't commenting on this and that...

but in the above example, wouldn't the company be worth 5m less than the price paid so there would need to be a 5m charge? Or is it have nothing to do with goodwill anymore, just the present value of the asset as opposed to last year's stated value?

Does anyone fully understand the new rules on FASB accounting for goodwill as they change very significantly. http://www.fool.com/news/foth/2002/foth020103.htm http://www.bobermarkey.com/cajully01.html Does this mean that if a company pays 15m for a company with assets worth 10m, that...

I still want to know where i can get this data from. I'm very surprised that this isn't one of the most active topics on ET as it really affects a ton of traders here.

I like illiquid ones b/c a poorly timed order will boot it fast and far. If something trades 100k a day and someone wants out of 200k fast, hes gonna take it down 5%+ in a day. You can tell when he cleans up and take 2-5k shares for a 2% pop very easilly. More importantly, whereas something...

I finally got my first dsl hookup. Problem is that it takes about 3 weeks to get. I love it, will never use cox again. Aol is my backup.

OT: Funniest point of the day was when I finally got through to cox and some middle level manager was giving me the go around.. I asked him point blank: Me:"are you embarrased?" Him: "huh?" Me:"Are you embarrased that Osama still has cable and I don't" Him:"you see, new orleans is a...

how did you get them fined.. i just called their customer service and asked them which lawyer they'd recommend to hire in suing them. I complained to the local bbb, but i know it won't do much. I will really do anything possible to get a hefty fine against them though. Any cost at all.

they may have, but this is downright negligent.. how can they say that their workers quit so they can't continue an upgrade that they began a week ago? What if ebay's cable company just quit?

Hi, I have had rather shoddy cable service for the last 6 mos. they have promised numerous times to fix it and have never come through. Now the service has been out for over a week and they don't intend to get service back to new orleans for a month at minimum. Can I sue them for missed work...

most of the stuff i trade makes 1 print every 15 mins.. I don't mind delayed. I want to know what's going on around the inside.

Openbook has arrived, has anyone yet had any experiences with it that they'd like to discuss. More importantly, where can I get this data in real time. Cybertrader won't have it for a few months.

I really f*cked up today. Hc just nuked me. Over and over. I did almost 200k shares worth of it. Blew like 7k after commish. AT least I have 20k of cci from 5.97 avg. Tomorrw will be the hc bottom. I'm pretty sure of it.

I use cyber. I knew woodman... he was an awsome trader. I hear he's "retired" (blown out maybe) don't know.. but I haven't really even looked for him in a year. I was never him though.

Moral of the story really is to do your dd, and then do it again. I've been in trading halts holding 5 figure size before.. It blows. Nuff said. I've never had one really gap away from me too bad though. I think that size is your answer. And there are still truely great moves % wise. Look at...

NO it shouldn't!!! Only the fittest survive on Wall St. Either learn to trade those 30c ranges like I have, or move on to some other career. I honestly never traded crap like askj, and never will. There's much less risk in trading a DIS where I can take 25k shares for 30c. and cash out the day...

Rigel, why I started this whole section to begin with is that the dell lcd monitor was still $100 less than the price at the local store, and I know that price is pretty cheap. Also these dell monitors have the standard Dell warranty, and I trust dell products almost no matter what. I got them...

Honestly, I would love to to respond to you in some way, but my knowlege of computers is very limited. I bought my last machine off this guy, and I trust him to design me the best possible system. I really don't remember the exact specs. I think he said that amd did have that processor, but it...

Dell told me they couldn't build what I wanted, so I'm having a local guy build it for me. He's the one who built my last system as well. Amd 1.9g processor 4g ram I think appian Jerronimo (not positive, he's still looking into which vc to use) Win 2k 4X 17" LCD monitors

It was a sale that lasted til midnight I think. I saw the 10% and thought that was great, but when I went to checkout, they did 20%. It was the same 17 incher they are advertising on their lcd webpage. Just try it and see if you can get 20% if interested. I thought it was a good deal.
