Anekdoten, can you possibly elaborate? Thanks.

Thanks for your detailed reply, gnome. In your long experience of trading bear markets, do you find that gap fades are, on balance, high probability trades provided there aren't signs that a tradable rally has begun? Further, how do you pick a decent entry point for such trades? Thanks...

gnome Interesting! Would you mind elaborating a little on these 6 possibilities?

Doug Kass: "In the 2005-2007 interim, I was short many of the major money center banks as well as the mortgage and bond insurers, government-sponsored enterprises and other specialty financials." Too early. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> "I have added Bank of America (BAC - Cramer's Take -...

Maybe we should start a Citi dividend target poll? :) 54 cents -> 32 cents -> ?

Paul Matthews, another hedge fund manager to remember (and perhaps avoid?). "It's a very expensive lesson to learn'' at clients' expense!?

Hi, Landis82 Have fun! Your new T3400 has 2GB 800MHz ECC DDR2 RAM and a 7,200rpm hard drive, doesn't it?

Thanks, gnome, for your very helpful feedback and pointers. Looks like there'll soon be a hard core T3400 trader group on ET! Max

Hi, gnome Would you recommend a 10,000 rpm Raptor over the latest 7,200 rpm SATA2 drives for a trading rig? Do you use a Raptor for any of your PCs? Would the choice depend on whether charting, as opposed to trade execution, is a main function of the PC? No gaming, video encoding, etc...

tommymoose Can you possible explain why it's so important "that it appears on SPX and RTH-only chart traders screens," what impression is being created, and for what purpose? Thanks!

Thanks guys for all your helpful feedback. I think I'll settle for a 10,000 rpm hard drive. No RAID 0.

Thanks, JSSPMK. Splendid alert timing!

JSSPMK: Can you possibly post a chart when you've a spare moment? Thanks.

Buy1Sell2: Can you briefly describe what happened to USD/JPY during that incident? Thanks.

A regal screwup, no less.
