Thanks for the warning Brod.So far I cant find any info on deleting connect2party.I dont want to instal zone alarm if I can help it.I have a 900 block on my phone line .
Funny,I had been checking out the spybot site before that happened.
CONNECT2PARTY.Is this a windows program?Anyone know what it does?It just gave me the b/s about performing an illegal operation and closing me down.But it didnt.
W98SE.
Paula,glad to hear you are making out with SEPR.Traderpulse is a pay site with trading room and I believe most traders there were up more than 50% last year.
Paula,this is just to let you know the traders at Traderpulse consider SEPR to be a short.
Joe,YHOO is behaving strong.Do they know something?
Gold bugs.What are your opinions on GSS and BGO.
Is there an ETF for gold?eom
Do you mean Ralph Icanmakeyoupoorer?eom
AMZN.Joe thanks for your thoughts.I think they report Jan 21?With the possibility of a warning before?
Does anyone have a favorite place to get reporting dates.Silicon investor is the best I can find.
Joe,what would make you cover your AMZN short?
Sounds good to me Paul.I stand corrected.
Yes,I believe you are wrong but unfortunately I have been wrong a lot.
Small investors who are not "mark to market" can only carry over $3k losses per year.They can carry the losses for ever untill they are used but only at $3k per year.I suspect there are many retail traders playing at the moment and many big players will be on holiday untill next monday.
Why take losses this year if you have no profits?Sell losers next year so they can be used to offset any profit you make in 03.
Broderick-backwork2.I downloaded it to my desktop.When I double click on it I get a windows popup telling me it is not a valid windows application.Please advise.
Give me your DDR opinions.My puter needs more.Crucial prices are $203 for 512MB and $73 for 256MB.Shoud I buy now or wait for lower?
Thanks for XP RAM opinions.I have P4 1.7 Gig with 128DDR RAM.Crucial prices are $203 for 512MB and $73 for 256Mb.
I think I will add 256Mb.
Opinions please.How much RAM is adequate to run windows XP?Is 128mb enough?
Equity Alert are bombarding me with emails about insider selling at QCOM.I wish I could turn them off.They are no better than spammers IMO.
fed reserve.I can be a bit slow and I find it hard to determine from your posts just what is happening with the money supply.Would you consider keeping and posting a running "score".For example - "last week the fed reduced/increased x billion dollars.So far this week they have reduced/increased x billion dollars".Just a suggestion.
Thanks cowboy.I am on my new puker now and I changed the accessability thing and it has enlaged the text on web pages.Its a little strange as the page stays the same size but I think it will do.
Thanks cowboy,I will try that next time I play with the new puker.At the moment it looks like my old P3 will remain my favorite.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.I should have said this is a laptop.It has the dell uxga screen and I am reluctant to downgrade the resolution if that would make the difference.I have increased the font size to extra large and that has made the operating text comfortable.But its weird.Typing this message,the text is tiny.But when I read the thread eveything is larger.
And the text on most internet pages is still tiny.
I have a 15inch high resolution screen and windows XP.In the view menu on IE I have the text set to large,yet most of the text remains tiny.Can anyone point me to some other settings that I can play with.
Also when I go to a newspaper like sacbee or the lycos sports page the page only covers half my screen and the text is tiny.I cannot drag the borders with the cursor.Anyone know how to expand the page.The thingy in the top right hand corner of the screen is set to maximum.
I am new to XP.
OT.When following links for company news I have become tired of finding the CBS marketwatch membership thing.In anger I filled out their form making liberal use of the expletive "f**koff".The program came right back and told me that name was already in use but I could use f**koff33.
No,I dont think they will go completely bankrupt.They will survive by selling "parts" like CVC just did.
Look at these pos cable stocks. CVC ICCI MCCC .They are all buried under debt.Where do they think they are going?
I shorted ALA soon after the open at $5.50.It hasnt been any fun so far.
LQMT.Thanks for the response guys.I was thinking of shorting it but I see my broker has no shares available so that takes care of that idea.
LQMT.Does anyone recall Zeevs opinion of LQMT?He posted something a couple of weeks ago but I cant find it.LQMT unlocks 35million shares nov17.
My dial up internet is flying today.Wish I knew why.Wish it could be like this every day.
Bastards.After using my new puter for a couple of hours I downloaded adware from lavasoft.It found four spys planted by doubleclick,fastclick,valueclick and microsoft.
Doug Jimmerson on NBR tonight.IMO he has been as good as anyone at calling market direction.He says the Dow is going below 6000 in a few months or a year.It could crash or it could just work its way down.He said you could hold some defence and energy stocks but he couldnt recommend anything to buy and that included metals and bonds.
Anyone use MSN for internet access?I just got a new laptop today and got six months free msn internet with it.This is also my first experience with windows XP.My first impression is that msn is like aol,constantly trying to prevent me from surfing freely.MSN wants me to log on everytime I open "msn explorer"Also it dumps the internet connection when I close "msn explorer".Will it be possible for me to get "plain" explorer without this msn crap? Same thing with email.Will it be possible for me to get outlook express without the hotmail crap?
I will figure this out myself but it will take a week.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks mainehiker.I will continue to watch ASML for reshort but I fear this market is continuing up untill after the elections.
Mainehiker do you watch ASML?I got squeezed out of my short there but I am watching it for re entry.Looks to me like they have never made a profit and they continue to burn cash.But I am unable to find when they report.Is that because they are an ADR?
Was I dreaming?I could have swore westpacific stated a market crash would occur today or tomorrow.Now he says he didnt say that and he claims he said a crash would occur "sometime in the next few weeks".
Win 98 2nd ed.When a hacker alters my computers settings,I restart in MS-DOS mode and enter scanreg/restore and select a previous date and my settings are restored.Can anyone tell me if this procedure is available with windows XP home ed?I am thinking of buying new dell laptop inspiron 8200 P4 15" $1300 free shipping.It will have XP installed.Unfortunately they dont offer win 2000 Pro.
My laptop came with 64mbRAM.I added 128mb.At startup the computer recognises 192mbRAM but says the "suspend to disk "file is missing.Do I need to do anything?I have win98 2nd ed.
Zeev any thoughts on underfunded pensions?While all these underfunded pensions are bad for the companies concerned,they are going to put billions of dollars into their pension funds and the funds are going to........buy stocks?If they all did it at the same time it would fuel the market.Presumably this pension funding will be spread out?As far as I can tell most of this funding will occur next year?I am wondering if you see any significant effect on the overall market from the situation.
