Hopefully not at all. I switched to FXCM UK back at the last leverage lowering. I don't need the leverage, but these US regulators can eat shit. If FXCM opens up shop in some third world country I'll be the first to join up. Screw all these regulators.

Jack, thanks for the reply. Your posts are generally over my head and take about 10-15 reads through before I understand them, so I'll get back to you in a day or two. lol

I don't think it's a good idea either, but I'd like some more solid reasoning and maybe some examples that go beyond "I don't think it's a good idea."

What do you guys think about timing markets (for investment purposing) using sentiment, namely the Ned Davis Research Crowd Sentiment Poll? Example here: http://beaconassetmanagers.com/3-beacon-blog/oil-sentiment.html FYI, save the flames, this is not something I'm looking to do. I'm asking...

Apparenlty you missed that last minute, high volume plunge. Preview of things to come. Pigs get slaughtered.

It's not typically given in computer monitor specs. You need to actually have the monitor hooked up or you need to find reviews. Good discussion here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=841160 Summary post here:

I always knew Toyota's next step would be to form/contract a military and start taking over countries. Looks like they now have their opportunity.

75hz is 75hz. They may label the response times differently, but it's simply a matter of seeing what refresh rate it supports, and that can't be screwed with.

Acer x223w, only $160 at Chinamart and one of the nicest pictures I've seen on any 22". BTW, contrast ratio means jack crap. There is no standard to measure it so companies just pull numbers out of their asses. Get something with a fast response time, this is generally a better indicator...

That makes all the difference in the world. I think that's why this is so confusing. I caught that on page 2 when he said that with $25 in hand and a bet of $25 you end up with $75. I thought I was just going crazy.

Ramdac is not the name of the chip, and, yes the 6200 has dual ramdacs. The dual ramdac chips (which are actually integrated into the main chip), simply allow the chip to run two analog (VGA cable hook up) monitors. I agree with the concesus, that the issue could be using a TV as a monitor...

lol why did you edit. Your original post had me cracking up, the whole office was looking over.

Winning the game is different than meeting your goal. It's a game within a game. You need to win the game AND double your money while doing it. You can win the game and lose your money. You can double your money and lose the game. You need to win AND double. That's the brainteaser part.

Interesting. I missed that. I'll have to think harder. lol

I didn't suggest betting $50 each time. I said wait for two heads and go all in on the next toss.

How does the suggestion not meet that criterion? You bet nothing until two heads are already out. If two heads never come out, you lose the game, but you keep your money. If two heads come out, you bet $100. On the next toss you either get heads, win the game AND meet the $200 goal, or you...

Exactly. And since it's a coin toss, the best you can do is 50/50 - hence the above suggestion.

Now I definitely agree with what I just posted.

I agree with the guy that said wait for the first two heads to come out, all in on the third. 50/50 odds (which is the best you can do with a coin toss) and you're guaranteed the extra $100 if you win the game.

Did you mean you'll lose on the second TAILS?
