    AAPL - was trading in class and it jumped - what happened?

    the thing about apple, is that they need the average computer user to try out their computers and they somehow need lower prices 30-40%. its tough to sell to people a $1300 desktop/lcd when they can a pretty decent pc from dell with an lcd for around $600.

    Iraq is going to kill the economic recovery

    in the short term it'll probably have a positive impact, you've got all these companies winning massive contracts for military equipment, long term though...deficits and higher taxes most likely.

    9800 Pro 256mg Video card

    one factor is support. if your visiontek card goes bad, you'll have to deal with visiontek. if your ati card goes bad, then you'll have to contact ati. for video cards, i find that it's usually safe to buy off-brand rather than paying a premium for a "retail" brand version. btw, newegg.com...

    Outsourcing & Jobs Report

    i agree, it's not the fact that it is happening, but at the speed at which it is happening. it will eventually right itself, but there will many people that will suffer more than they should have because of a lack of some needed intervention.

    monitor question

    http://www.griffintechnology.com/archive/monitors/NEC39.html looks like it has a standard vga connector for a pc. hmm .85 dot pitch though, it's high but maybe it's standard with this type of crt.

    The "Flipper" strategy

    youre right, i didnt see the guaranteedswing part of it. maybe this is where i disagree with abogdan, i think it should be more of a mean value of the past 250 days and not min value, of course using a mean has its drawbacks as well.

    The "Flipper" strategy

    >>>If the ".12 spread" you refer to includes the delta and commissions than your numbers work out fine. However, throwing made up numbers around doesn't cause our accounts to grow. KLAC is at the very tippy top of the range of movement stocks and it's target only ends up at .37. That target...

    The "Flipper" strategy

    turok, you're right about the larger spread. however, even with .12 spread and a .60 target, the multiplier is still just 1.2, which is doable. if you were to say a .15 spread it would be a 1.25 multiplier. btw, where did you get bid/ask data? i have access to wld so i would like to test as...

    The "Flipper" strategy

    hi abogdan, i didnt mean to usurp turok's algorithm in any way :) he did all the work, i just wanted to give him a sheet to look at to see the multiplier at work. it seemed in his sheet that that was the 'weakest' part of it. there were days that there were cumulative losses of nearly $70,000...

    The "Flipper" strategy

    turok, i disagree with you there. the multiplier has a simple formula, it is 1+(slippage/profit target). so if your slippage is $0.10 and you're trying for a target of $0.50, your multiplier should be 1.2. this gives them an even amount of profit no matter which flip it is (assuming they...

    The "Flipper" strategy

    thx for your work turok. here is a small spreadsheet i made. i dont have access to bid/ask prices, but this is a theoretical sheet. i assume delta+commissions is $0.10, profit target is $0.55, and the multiplier is 1.15. as you can see, you start out with maximum profit if you win on the...

    XP Networking experts: help please.

    could you send an output of your "ipconfig /all" when you try to connect with both at the same time? you should be able to do this without a problem. also, a "route print" would help as well.

    Web Site Design / Hosting

    i third godaddy for domain registration. i use thrillhost.com for $5 a month hosting good enough for me with cpanel. there's also 8-95.com which is $8.95 total for 6 months, but no cpanel which is tougher if you want to run more advanced stuff like php/databases/etc.....

    Record Number of U.S. Jobless Seen Losing Benefits

    to make it even worse, i would say from my experience that most of the jobs that are listed directly from a company (not a hiring firm) have pretty much already been filled internally within that company, but the company just posts it to see what kind of interest it brings in. the company i...

    Use credit line to buy stocks

    when i was in college about six years ago, i was able to fund my trading account with 25k with cash advances from credit cards. i was still going to school and working a graveyard shift for about $13 an hour at the time. credit was easy, maybe still is. my story is pretty typical i think, i...

    For you, Technical Analisys lovers!

    i dont think abogdan's original intent was to post a complete system, it was just to make a point and generate some discussion. "anal"ysis. heh heh

    For you, Technical Analisys lovers!

    i just basically opened up a spreadsheet to find some good numbers. it really helps you understand what's going on. play around with it, abogdan has provided us the framework.
