If you have the knowledge in making deals work, and know where and how to find these deals before the masses do, you can knock the clackers off the competition and...

    Good choice. I've always liked that one. I also like "When Will I See You Again?" I added lyrics to that one. It's a hobby I have. -1bigsteve (o:

    Questions on house 'flipping'

    I have had experience in flipping houses in the late '70's - early '90's and I have learned, the hard way, the ins and outs of what to do and not to do. Maybe I can save you some grief. This is what I have learned. I read a book in 1978 on buying, fixing up then selling or refinancing...

    Can you live with 100 plus Degrees summers forever?

    I lived through 100+ degrees in Fresno in the fifties and I'm still breathing. But it's a dry heat... Yea, so is a blast furnace! I remember it hitting 125 F. in LeGrand, CA in August 1966! I though I would die. -1bigsteve (o:

    (Why) do most traders lose?

    Why traders fail? From my experience: 1. Lack of self-discipline. 2. Not understanding charts, patterns, trendlines, price-volume relationship. 3. Ego. "I bought this stock, it can't possibly go down on me, after all I'm a smart guy. Wait, why is it sinking? Oh my Gawd it's down...

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    Doing a "full smash" restore, does erase everything and reloads all of the original software that came with the computer. Any of your files, photos, documents, email, etc., gets erased. Using a "restore point" will not erase much but will just change your computer's settings to an earlier...

    Can too many restores cause a problem?

    I've never heard of doing too many "back to the out-of-the-box" restores on a desk top. I've done three already and each time it works real good. But as far as doing too many "restore points" I don't know. I've restored my computer back to previous dates several times with no problems...

    What's the general strategy for people on this forum?

    Try Toni Turner's book: "The Beginner's Guide To Short Term Trading." One of the best I ever read! I wish I had it when I got going. Also her book for Day Traders if that is your avenue. Dr. Alexander Elder's book: "Trading For A Living" is very good as is all of William J. O'Neil's books...

    What's the general strategy for people on this forum?

    Short term trading! I make a living in short term trading. Day trading is too risky for me and long term too slow. I NEVER stay in a stock during it's consolidation period. Not only would I be losing money as it's going down but I would also be losing time as well. -1bigsteve (o:

    two CPU's?

    My computer is running OK. No software problems. My stock charting programs require a minimum of 512MB of RAM and a 1.8GHz minimum CPU. My computer has 256MB of RAM with a 1.47 GHz CPU. My system is just too old for the modern software. -1bigsteve (o:

    Swapping CPU's

    Thank's, dcraig. I had a strange feeling that the mother boards would be a problem. There isn't any physical problem with my computer. No virus, malware and such. It's just old and underpowered. It has 256 MB of RAM and an AMD Athlon XP 1700+ 1.47GHz CPU. Remember that one? I think Noah had...

    Swapping CPU's

    What I want is to run a Core 2 Duo CPU, which is much faster than the Pentium D. I just don't know if the new Core 2 Duo will fit in the Pentium's slot on a HP m7590n Pavilion. I don't want to buy a new computer today and find out that I can't upgrade to a Core 2. Heaven only knows when new HP...
