If you do a lot of I/O or heavy processing, try using a ramdrive. Way faster than a HD and still noticeably faster than an SSD, while using very little power.

Anyone know if IB access to TSE includes stock options? url pointer to info and fees ?

+1 Got that right. Takes a lot more time and effort than one would think going in to figure it out enough to make real money. If you ever get to that point, though, it's worth it. One not-so-obvious approach when wondering where to start might be: Instead of figuring out all of the...

HA! You got caught in beginner's luck. Nothing like opening a two-way position and watching it INCREASE el quicko, eh? :confused: What happened yesterday(I was watching this most of the day) was that the VIX shot up to the moon. If the VIX goes up enough, it'll balloon up a straddle...

Oh, btw, I don't have anything personally against the Najarian boys. In fact, I kinda like them; probably be cool guys to hand out with. And, they definitely are quite smart and personable. I was just commenting about the overall setup there. One needs to keep in mind that Wall Street on...

+1 Wonder if we're related? Separated at birth, perhaps :eek: LOTS of time watching. LOTS of analysis. Most of all, LOTS of TIME doing this. As I have told a few of my friends: "How many times per year do you have to trade quarterly earnings reporting cycles?". "How many times per year...

Not an expert on all of the Hawaiian Islands, but I've been there many times and love it. For a trader, Honolulu would probably be the best choice, with maybe Maui #2. Not well known is that Hawaii is a junction point for the web between Asia and North America, so connections there can be...

Thanks; just the starter info I needed. Dunno when, but have Belize on the list now :)

NOW you're gettin' it :) I first started experimenting w/diet in 1979. Tried everything(almost) and when I found something that made me feel better, I kept that; something not so good, I dropped it. Unfortunately, whatever you wanna believe is out there in print somewhere. Can make it...

^ Good for you. You obviously have an ax to grind about Vegan diets. The stuff I posted is plant-based, but not totally Vegan. Once again, read up a bit before shooting first; you might learn something. Doesn't matter to me whether you love or hate Vegans. Is irrelevant to what I posted...

Gundry diet is much lower carb than typical Western/U.S. diet. In fact, he goes out of his way to stress -not- bloating up on all of the carbs we like, such as potatoes and super sweet fruit stuff. Not clear from write up how much of the mouse improvements are from added protein vs. lower...

No, logic not flawed, just smoothed over for an example. While you're right about $150 --> $200 being a 33% move, you have to be practical and realistic; especially for illustrative purposes. It's actually a sliding scale as you move up... One way(among many) ways to deal with this...

I don't doubt that these guys are rich. However, I'd like to know how much of their $$$ these days comes from actual trading. It's usually easier and more profitable being the guy who sells the book on real estate, stocks, biz ideas vs. being the person actually implementing those plans...

I, too, would appreciate a couple 'starter points' on Belize. When looking at a globe, heading south jumps out, but due to unrest in Mexico, I'd kinda written off that part of the world. Could you list a few areas that'd be worth a first look? Also, what's the airport situation like down...

Bacon's about done; why don't you head out to the kitchen for a while... :D

Interesting discussion. I'm starting to work this out for myself. For an 'island', Hawaii would be good, if you can handle the time zone change. 'Island Fever' will probably get to you after a while, so hit the mainland before it does. If you've got real money to live on, up/down the...

Well, the tried and true methodology is for the Feds to inflate their way outa this mess. So, if you're a boomer at/near retirement, you'll still get that $2000 check each month; however, everything'll be so expensive, you'll still be broke. Only problem w/infating out of the mess is that...

HA! If you wait long enough, even a lame horse can finish the race. I remember one time a year or so ago, either Jon or Pete was blabbing on 'Fast Money' about some options position they'd opened. Well, he said enough about it that I was able to look up the tick data for the trade...

Glenn Beck > Bill Gross? I don't think so... As for Rick Perry, he's currently presiding over the largest budget deficit in Texas history. Lots of unhappy campers down in Texas, "where all of those jobs are being created"... Guess that's training wheels for the move to DC, righto? :D

+1 Yup. Hard to beat being right on direction.
