I messed with it years ago. First thing that jumps out at you when you do an FFT on a closing price series is there's periodicity at certain intervals. Of course this isn't useful since everyone already knows there's periodicity on weekly, monthly and yearly invervals. :cool: Don't bother...

Wow, great web site thanks.

I switched from AVG to Avast about a year ago. Seems to work fine. Definitely less of a resource hog than AVG. Heck, it even found some nasties.

Short term cap gains are the same as regular income. What do you do to reduce your taxes normally? One reason you feel the tax bite so acutely from your trading income is you don't have income tax withholding on it. So you have to actually write a big check yourself instead of having your...

Unless liquidity is a problem, it seems like doing what you're doing makes sense. SPY's volume is around 300M/day and SH's volume is around 1.5M/day. Granted the average daily volume difference between your two ETFs is a factor of 100, but still. SH's volume is still so high as to be very...

Crap? Crap? Hardly. I use their API all the time (C++ socket apps) and think it's the best thing since sliced bread. It's fast and easy to understand.

Please god no. Yes, fiscal conservatives. No, religious fanatics.

I read it and I totally agree with it.

The trick is figuring out how many inverse ETF shares to hedge your long positions with.

Yeah, everything's tagged as "hard to borrow" (dark green) It's either a system glitch or they're anticipating a blood bath today.

Aren't the Brits paying some kind of transaction tax already (stamp tax? stamp duty? or something like that)

Like, OMG! As long as I can still text on my cell phone!

I think Summers is getting "schooled" right now. But I'm not sure that's the same as "educated".

I use both, depending on what I'm doing. Chrome *is* a faster browser and has a convenient "incognito" mode (i.e. no browsing or form history, no cache) for higher security. Firefox is my main browser. One main drawback of Chrome is no add-on support. But heck it's only beta, right...

Programming? Did someone say programming? :cool:

Or was it "bankstahs"?

Mmmm. The thought of hunting big game with a hairy, sturdy woman just makes me feel tingly all over. :cool:

I'm not young but I am a man and will comment anyway. You're right about many fields becoming increasingly dominated by women. 50 years ago, many fields were dominated by white guys. Today fields such as realty and medicine are dominated by women. Veterinary medicine is particularly...

I had a rotten day yesterday myself. Today I broke even on a QQQQ inside bar setup. My daughter's jeep broke down on the interstate right before the market opened so I missed the AM session. Arg. Hate it when life interferes with trading. :cool:

You're prolly right; I got my info second-hand from a disaffected Canadian. Still, doesn't 3 months sound like a long time anyway? If I'm worried, I want the damn thing right now! Anyway, American or Canadian, the wealthy are always first in line for everything.
