    Vista is lame

    Vista is my main system last couple of years (use it a few hours a day, heavily. Runs fine. Main thing I notice with every Windows, is you gotta completely power down every couple of days when you have like 10-20 apps/tabs open, or it hangs up - same with my previous windows. My main gripe...

    Spybot - Any Good?

    spybot (and spywareblaster) are perhaps best because you can "immunize" your system against future problems. things similar to Norton SytemWorks and CCleaner can be good for a system. I had a friend who had a 75Gb hard drive that was totally hammered - 99.9% full and slow as Antarctic...

    Gold Trading Edge

    doubt it is that simple, especially after commissions, fees, risk, and everything else. Things that look true in the past rarely profit into the future. There are $10 billion financial institutions that scrape through every arb possibility, including time of day, open, close, international...

    Democrats On Verge Of Political Suicide By Prepping "Nuclear Option" On Healthcare.

    I don't know about a "public" option controlled by the govt, but there should be something that promotes competition. I think large pools, breaking down state barriers to insurance companies and other things should be promoted. We cannot continue growing costs at 10% annually. The...

    Poll: Hillary Clinton More Popular Than Obama Among Voters!!!

    It would have been the reverse if Hilary were President. I am a conservative, but this current economy is a tough time to be leader.

    Poll: Majority Of America Supports 1/4% Transaction Tax 54% - 35%

    Simple. Jobs and trading activity will quickly offshore. For example, there are a number of exchange products that quickly moved to electronic trading on another exchange when the former exchange tried to keep open their pits. Someone just published an ET thread about Hedge Funds moving and...

    how do i prevent making same mistakes?

    It is not necessarily a "problem." 2 instances means nothing, statistically. For every time you do this, perhaps you took them off and the instrument gave back all the profit before it hit your target. Over time, you would probably find out it means little. Profit wise, it is much MORE...

    Deducting trading expenses?

    as soon as you turn it into a "business", you are subjected to self-employment taxes. And more record-keeping. And tax filing/headaches. Why not put it under cap gains and simplify your life? Best idea I ever heard for a fulltime trader was, file as unemployed and report your trading...

    Gold Trading Edge

    Depends on whether you want longterm or short term trading. Day trading, you should probably spend lot of time looking how the price works (price action), but it will take a lot of effort. There are hundreds of ways to lose, that are readily available. But very profitable? Beware of...
