    what kind of computer for trading?

    Just a FWIW, I don't daytrade but I setup dual LCDs a few years ago. Highly recommended. Sure, you probably don't *need* them, but I can't imagine only having one now. Makes so many things easier. And with my poor old brain, having things open and readily available really helps. Get a...

    why do people complain about IB TWS crashing so much?

    I don't really see many complaining about TWS "crashing". I think most of the complaints are the dreaded "pink outs", with associated data drops. I also think that a lot of these are ISP issues. What happens, imho, is that TWS will experience some data delays and dropouts when...

    Gotta love ZERO RISK in the Markets = $$$

    Depends on how you picked the trades. If they were random, then yeah, an amazing losing streak. If you are using a method or system, then it could just be breaking down now (reverting to mean), or any success you had in the past was more a function of the bull market the last few years, than...

    IB : If someone has my IB password, can they get to my funds?

    Yeah I think you are right. So it would be a little harder. They'd have to setup an account with the same name, using fake ID. At least, I hope the bank would ask for real ID.

    IB : If someone has my IB password, can they get to my funds?

    I think they would also need control of your email/computer. IB sends a confirmation email to your email of record that has a number "token" that you must put in, before they approve the transfer. If someone could monitor your email and/or change it (also requires confirmation token sent...

    200+mph on 2 wheels

    Yeah, I was surprised the car beat the bike so badly. I guess those F1's are super light? I'd think the bike would beat just about any street-legal or production car, tho? Was pretty wild, that guy pulling the 100+ MPH wheelie!

    Major merger announcment Sunday 4-22-07

    Speaking of buyouts and such, it sure is making shorting a pain in the azz. I was short FDC a few times and just missed getting wacked. I wasn't so lucky with MEDI. :( Yeah. I know. Just buy the dip and be happy... :p

    Mark Cook: 29% correction in March 2007

    Sounds like the Doug Kass or David Tice (or Bill Gross) school of "book talkin'". The litany of things that are "wrong" with the market/economy is long. So what? When/if will it come home to roost? Who knows? But to say "the market will crash XX% by such and such date" is just begging...

    S&P old high will get tested next week?

    The market needs to pullback sharply for a few days, before new highs are reached. Why? Because I'm short as hell and getting killed right now! :D
