prt, this is a good point in theory. IF one has a "good career" then an MBA has very little value. Now, that's a big IF. Many people don't therefore, they need the extra push from an top rated MBA. Whether that return on investment is that great or not is yet to be seen. You still hear...

mhashe, I gotta dispute that. I gotta go with prt on this one. No, a Stanford MBA does NOT ave $500K+ 5yr after school. NO way dude! It all depends on the individual and what they do with their top MBAs. In fact, many of the top MBAs don't move up the corp. ladder as fast as you might...

But to get to the heart of this thread, MBA vS MFE. The answer is it DEPENDS! WHat do you want ot do in life? MBA is for general biz applications. FE is applied to very quantitative areas of finance, trading, and investment. Not very similiar things. One thing is not better than the other...

prt_systems, I've been reading both you and nicholas posts. Some interesting ideas. Both of you have some merits. But the reality is more complicated and more personal. I worked at a place where many of the fund managers trainees/analysts have MBAs from top schools such as Stanford...

j_medved, I just got a new pc and loaded QT. Did something change? Where do we put the password and login for IB? thnx

nononsense, Thanks for your informative post. With the risk sounding like a "loser", I'm just learning about DB and Access. Looks cool and reasonable enough. Note: NOT THAT I WOULD use ACCESS for tickdata storage or anything that serious. I understand all the benefits of db - security...

We've been through this once. Something funky is going on. IB Build 851.9, 2005/09/20 16:00 Java Version: 1.4.2_03 QT: 3.6.4i Are those in sync ? thnx

jerry, not to ask again. But after updating both QT and IB, I'm still not getting full backfill. What's going on? Like this morning, I couldn't get the full backfill until several HOURS into the trading session. Why is that happening? thanks! u r da man.

haha. LOL. Good point. A superbear throwing in the towel. Is that a contrarian indicator? A superbull turn bearish. Is that a contrarian indicator? Contrarian indicator isn't all it cracked up to be. hehe.

Richard Russell turns bullish Wednesday September 7, 9:25 pm ET By Mark Hulbert ANNANDALE, Va. (MarketWatch) -- Stop the presses! Richard Russell, editor of Dow Theory Letters, has turned "totally neutral on the stock market -- at least as to the secondary trend." I nominate this for the...

It works now. I missed a colon. haha. Thanks! There's no historical chart for that symbol? Do you know where to get historical for that symbol? thanks!

OK. Thanks. I think it works now... Hopefully, it will continue to do so tomorrow. Cuz on some days it works and others it doesn't. But perhaps this new version will make it work all the time. BTW, what is the symbology for NKD? I couldn't get it to work. GLOBEX:@NKDU5.

jerry, I click on OPTION/Edit Preferences. Then I select "Notify me about Beta Updates" Then did the WebUpdate thingie. Still wouldn't update me to 3.6.4E. Does one need the latest to fix that backfill problem? Or am I doing something else wrong?

I did the normal upgrade using QT. And that's the version it gave me. How do I get to 3.6.4E? And TWS said I'm running the latest version of TWS.

QT 3.6.0a Should I upgrade? (Note: I actually just upgrade to 3.6.3. Same problem) TWS the latest 848.8 It does backfill. But only PART of the day. It starts at the time I log in. I know when it works it backfills the entire day regardless the time of my log in. this happens on/off...

jerry, how come sometimes backfilling works and sometimes it doesn't? LIke today it works on stocks but not on futures. Or on some futures. and more importantly, how do i fix that problem? thanks! 99
