I think the reason those posted pictures cannot be deleted is because deleting them would remove them from the posts they originally appeared in.

But. . .but. . .Churak has left the building!

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.
Newly
Wow, that's weird. Not the same problem I had, but you can check in Settings to see if that KB was downloaded without your knowledge and is now causing the problem, in which case you can do what I outlined in the previous msg to alleviate the problem at least temporarily.
Newly
KB4556799 is not a security fix, it is a feature update. I only have one computer running Win10, the other runs WinXP (which I love) so wasn't affected (rarely go online with that computer but use it for watching TV and other things that don't require being connected to the internet).
I think the problems that KB is causing are due to it messing with the drivers of various programs, not sure. I do not disable any virus stuff when updating. I run no virus software except windows defender and have never had a problem, but then I don't cruise porn sites or anything like that, where the viruses are often contracted, LOL. Anyway, at this point all's well. . .for now at least!
Newly
Well, still having some issues with this KB4556799 so uninstalled it yet again, did a recovery to the previous version of Win10, then downloaded the wushowhide app from your link, and blocked that KB from reloading. Just for good measure I then paused updates for 35 days. I suppose this may just be delaying the inevitable, but MS leaves me little choice! I've noticed there are options in those links you provided for stopping updating altogether but I'm not prepared to go that far just yet. . .
Newly
I shut down my computer each night. This morning when I fired up it once again downloaded KB4556799, the problem update. Obviously MS has tweaked it because now when it loads it changes the names of many files. So far it seems to have solved the problems I had with the first download. If I discover any further problems today, I will once again recover to a previous version at bedtime and let it run overnight. Then I will download the MS tool to hide/block that update (don't really want to do this as it may create additional problems). So far so good. . .
Newly
He/she/it has spammed me via PM in the past, too.
Newly
Thanks for those links, Zorax. Read them all. Seems windows features updates cannot be stopped from installing but once the update is uninstalled it can be blocked from reinstalling using the tool MS offers to hide/block it. As you note, security updates cannot be blocked.
It certainly is annoying that Windows10 takes away so much control of our own computers. May be times to move to another OS. . .
BTW, I don't understand a lot about how MS spies on us, but I keep nothing on my computer of a personal nature that I don't want viewed by "outsiders" and I would never use any sort of "cloud" to store my stuff. All work I do in Win10 I backup to a thumb every day and store it apart from the computer. Don't really know if that helps, but makes me feel a bit more secure.
Newly
I have my system set up to not install these updates automatically, but to ask me first. I can't remember how I set this up, but perhaps, like you, I am simply delaying the installation of these updates, I'm not sure.
Yes, I also am running some programs MS didn't like, so I installed them working in DOS (these are very old programs from back in the 80's and 90's that I have used for years with accumulated data I don't want to lose, such as Quicken 1 and 2, and DB3) and they run just fine. I learned DOS on my first computer back in the 80's but have forgotten a lot of it now.
Luckily my system is back to normal after doing a "reset to a previous version" in Recovery, but I'd still like to find out how to choose which updates to install from the lists I get rather than only "all or none" as it is now. Let me know if you find out anything. TIA
Newly
Thanks for posting that. I wasn't sure whether it was just my system or the update causing everyone problems. I had used the "uninstall latest update" in Settings, and it deleted the update but left the problems the update caused, which led to my nearly killing my entire system trying to get back to a workable point.
Thankfully after struggling with various apps and the display for a couple of days, I followed the directions in the article you posted and now my system is back to normal.
When I first ran the "go back to previous version" my computer got to a point where it continually recycled on a blue screen even though it said the scanning and repair of C: drive was 100% complete. I left it overnight to see if it would finish, but this morning it was still cycling endlessly so I decided to shut down and if it didn't return to normal on reboot, I would try the Recovery thumb which I made when I first got this computer. So I fired up again and my system came up normally. Thankfully I didn't need to go to the Recovery thumb or reinstall all my apps. All's well now. . .

Yesterday I downloaded and installed the latest feature update to Win10, KB4556799. It messed up some of my apps so badly I ended up uninstalling it, although many of the changes it made to my system did not change back to what they were before.
Anyway, what I'd like to know is when notifications tells me there are updates available, usually there is a list of several (I have my computer set to notify me before downloading anything) and I'm wondering if there is a way to choose which ones I do not wish to download, and which I do. TIA to anyone who knows. . .
BTW has anyone else had problems with KB4556799? Among other things it really messed up my f.lux program badly.

Let's just see how price reacts to resistance at $71.54 first. . .

Morning, Dave. Every time I change boards on Ihub todayI am getting an Error523 Origin is Unreacheable (Host Error). I have to reload 2 or 3 times to access the page no matter what browser I use. Is it just me or are others having this problem? TIA
Newly
I'm sorry to hear that, I-Man. I have not experienced any questionable practices with TDA personally.
Newly
Seems farfetched, but I suppose anything is possible.
Newly
I trade both TDA's thinkorswim platform and TradeStation's platform. In an effort to zero in on why your CLF Daily Open-High-Low-Close data from TDA vary from mine from TS, I went back to the charts and listed O-H-L-C for each day from 4-1 to 4-17 for each platform. The results were identical -- that is, both platforms listed exactly the same data. So, it isn't a problem of one of the data feeds being faulty, and I am at a loss to understand why the data you posted is different to what is on my TDA and TS charts.
Newly
Morning I-Man. This is so strange. Here is the same data from the TradeStation Daily:
My TS Data
4/3 Open 3.66 High 3.89 Low 3.62
4/6 Open 3.97 High 4.15 Low 3.88
Your TDAmeritrade Data
4/3 Open 372 High 3.76 Low 3.66
4/6 Open 3.97 High 4.06 Low 3.95
I wonder if the difference is due to your using a 5-Day chart instead of a Daily or if one of us has a faulty feed?
Can any other chart-readers here post the data your feed is showing for these dates for comparison? TIA
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode?
Newly
Chrome browser has an extension called HTTPS Everywhere that I use. I imagine other browsers offer it as well.
Newly
Of course, provided you have accounts at both brokerages. However, you will end up long in the original account and short in the second account. This in effects gives you a neutral position in the stock. Eventually you will need to cover the short in the second account and sell the shares in the original account perhaps at different times depending on which way the stock price is moving.

Best, most comprehensive book I've read on options trading is "trade options online" by George A. Fontanills of optionetics.com.
For a simple explanation of options trading read Lee Malone's Options Education thread here
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=27850769.
Very informative thread and makes option trading easy to understand.
IMO best platform for trading options is TradeStation although I am sure there are other good ones out there. . .
Good luck.
Newly
That chart is from TradeStation, but I also have thinkorswim (TDA's platform) and the price feed there is the same prices as TS.

On 10 day chart. March 23rd to March 24th
How odd! I show the March 23 high as 3.43 and the March 24 low as 3.27. No gap there on my chart.
Any idea why the discrepancy between your chart and mine?
Newly
I've been here since '02 and it has always been 15 posts for freebies per day, which is very generous IMO.
Newly
Morning, I-Man. What is the date of that 3.12 gap? I'm not seeing it on the Daily. . .
Newly
Unfortunately no. CLF's Ex-div date of 4/2 means 4/2 is the date the shares trade excluding the dividend.
Newly
Morning, Lucky.
Where is Churak these days? His last post was made in March last year.
Newly
That is what they are considering in California. That is, making daylight saving time permanent. It was voted in over a year ago, but has to be approved by (I believe) the state legislature, and hasn't come up for a vote yet.
Newly
PS trading halted due to excessive drop in markets.
Unfortunately you are correct, but it never hurts to ask, LOL.

https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2018/03/daylight-savings-time-arizona-florida-spring-forward-science/
Article is from last year, but gives a good comprehensive history of why we are subjected to this annoying practice.
Newly
Didn't Californians vote over a year ago to quit using Daylight Savings Time? So why is this nonsense still being perpetrated upon an unwilling public?
Arizona does not use it, and IMO it is an archaic, useless thing that increases the minor annoyances of life. GET RID OF It, PLEASE!

NEM is the only miner I own, as a gold play, which has been paying off handsomely since the coronavirus scare. NEM is known mostly for its gold production, but also mines copper, silver, zinc, lead, etc.
A google search says Anaconda owns the largest copper mine in Nevada. . .

Jack Welch, former (and youngest) chairman and CEO of GE died yesterday. He was 84.
Newly
Thanks for trying anyway, Geoff. I've been doing some research online as well. . .
Newly
Well, neither expected candle ended up forming at the close yesterday. Today looks to be heading for a Bullish Engulfing if price continues to rise but it is too soon to say.
Newly
So far today NEM's price is forming either a Dragonfly Dogi or a Hanging Man candle on the Daily; won't know which until the close but either one would be bearish but requiring confirmation from tomorrow's candle.
Monthly, Weekly, Daily RSI are all well into oversold territory but still pointing up, as are the 20 and 50 SMA's, but I personally put more weight on CCI than RSI as it seems to react faster to change, and on the Daily CCI is turning down while still pointing up on the longer timeframes, and CCI avg is flat to down in all three timeframes.
Might be at or near a top after a spectacular run these past few days. Must wait until tomorrow to see if we get confirmation of a change in trend.
Still, it has been a lovely run, and with the political instability at present as well as the impact of coronavirus the markets are showing uncertainty. Time will tell. . .
Newly
Tnx, Geoff. These are great computers, but a bit above my price range and way above my needs. I do like Asus, but don't want to go that high for a computer with more than what I require. But tnx for the info.
