I'm interested in learning more about designing web pages and graphic design. I understand that Adobe is king here, so what would you recommend for someone new to this? Just not even sure where to start... For example, Adobe's website has quite a few programs available, but not sure what is...

vet - I am not familiar with CFD's - can you provide a few links? Your thread got my interest, so I'd like to see what you've decided on.

Prime - I suppose it depends on what you are looking for. I personally would not touch the template sites as your site will have a template look and feel. Maybe it's a good place to start if doing it yourself. If you want a pro to do it, I would guess you are looking at $500-$2000/mo...

vet - each broker is different for what they will require, but the margins have their overnight which you've found. I would just email IB and ask. When the order is placed you will need funds in your account to cover the trade, even if it's far from being filled. I've never heard of a futures...

vetten - I honestly do not know the 'best' way to calculate how many contracts you want to sell at a certain level. The calculation will need to take into account how much insurance/protection you actually want, then consider what fill price on the futures contract you will/might get and where...

JJ - maybe you need to 'get a life'... right? Just take your own advice. :D

As others have said - if you are risking more than you plan to make, your win % better be awfully high.

I agree with Jay - I much prefer futures over stocks or fx. Some other reasons: > Better tax treatment > Can focus on a handful of markets > Liquid, electronic, transparent And it doesn't hurt that the cost of access is so small that just about anyone can jump in! The reason I say that...

vetten - I've never placed an order that far away on a futures platform, but you will want to ask the broker how they and the exchange will handle that order just sitting out there. Again, I do not know the specifics, so you just want to double check to ensure that it does not get canceled due...

I am planning to upgrade the RAM on a laptop that I recently purchased. The question I have is - is it better to keep all the RAM sticks identical (manufacturer, make, model) or does it not matter? The current setup is that there is a 1 gig stick and 1 available slot for additional RAM. The...

So then the question is - do you keep your futures account fully funded to account for use of T-bills or simply keep enough to cover your trading and put the cash elsewhere...

A low maintenance buy and hold that would make money assuming the markets go up (like they always have) is to just buy some ETF's and dollar cost average into them if you can. Stocks come and go, but the Dow, the S&P, the Nasdaq, the Russell, etc. are not going anywhere. If you believe...

After looking at some options with IE, I am now using Firefox as my primary browser as it offers so much more than IE. Examples that are very useful to me: 1) Adblock Plus - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 This is exactly what I was looking for with IE, but this is simply...

Short-term: CD's, savings/checking/money markets Longer-term: tax-free bonds, index ETF's, stocks

Good luck to the Buckeyes tonight! What an incredible run this tourney has been!

If you need multi-monitor support, you pretty much have to use a desktop. I could be wrong, but I don't recall seeing a laptop or desktop replacement that can handle more than 2 monitors. I guess the reason is that a laptop is meant to be portable and if you have 3+ monitors, you probably aren't...

Virus software: AVG and Norton Corporate Spyware: Ad-Aware and Spybot That's what I use and they all seem to be able to play together. Some packages, like Kaspersky, will require you to remove most/all other software programs that do what Kaspersky does. My only problem with that relying...

Hound - see my reply to Steve and you will see that SnagIt does in fact record streaming video from the web, incl audio. http://www.screencast.com/users/TechSmith_Newsletter/collections/SnagIt/media/cb2a0d75-bd6b-4917-90f3-e9bfea4a4670 There's a link to how to record video with audio.

Steve - what this program does is incredible for 40 bucks. I get their email newsletter and this week learned that you can set up SnagIt to record a live presentation w/ audio that is streaming on the web! I couldn't believe it. I was actually trying to do that with Camtasia (which is 300 bucks)...
