Smuggler, I thought that MSN always told their customers to submit through Looksmart ?
Didn't Dagerous Dave say this the other day on Yahoo ??
Tex.
Smuggler, thanks for the email...should get a chance to have a read on the weekend.
Looks like a bit of interest in the stock in the last day or so perhaps a small trend upwards is in the wind ??
Still a bit risky to be trading it IMHO, I'll keep laying low for the time being, still need to get some before Adelaide !
Tex.
Doshbag, personally I think the RBA should give you a job !!!
If what you say comes to fruition maybe we should be looking at buying CLH !!
Tex.
lol, very good !! ...eom.

Post of the week TG !!

Hi Markco
I have followed your link and got this message: "Your Request to join this forum has been submited to the forum owner."
Wow your the owner of a forum !!! Doug is the only other person I know that is the owner of a forum.....lol.
Great stuff mate ! I aways knew that you had the potential to become a dictator........lol.
P.s. did you know as soon as you go to www.smartmoney.com you get scumware placed on your computer ?
I thought you had to give them the authority to do so, but that dosen't seem to be the case.
P.s.s. those other two links on your post don't work, they must be some how coded on your pc so you can access the them but I can't.
Cheers Tex.
Doshbag, ad-aware is a programme that detects spyware.
When you download "free music" or get the services from a free site such as "live quote demo's" part of the terms of the agreement (that most people dont read)are that they will install programs on your computer that track what sites you go to, and what you download etc etc.....these types of programs are called spyware because most people don't know that its been installed on their computer.
Another form of spyware is when you get pop ups, this once again is the company's payment for giving you free software programs, most pop ups come from Gator also know as Gain.
You can scan you computer and get rid of these free loaders using ad-aware 6. But it's usually the price you pay for free services, Like "date manager" etc.

P.s. thanks Lanky, my Tech guy told me about Ad-aware and he hasn't had a problem either.
But I'll still have a look at spybot and tell you what I think.
Tex.
Hi Quik, Yes the announcements are live, but there are three codes when the news is released (1) ASXH.....I can only read the head line, mostly says "trading halt" with no details.
(2) IDS....photocopy of the company announcment, shown in a PDF format so you can't cut and paste.
(3) G......same news as IDS which is in tpye form and released 20 minutes after IDS this is usually the release that you slower guys get....lol.
I get this service through AOT which is a live feed trading platform. Costs $75 a month if you dont do any trades, the more trades you do the cheaper it gets.
I think I will move up to Iressweb soon which is what the brokers use.

LC, big mouth Dave says there could be a problem with Ad-awear, I didn't find one but just hold of until I check it out with this other program called spybot.
I think he's a box head....but I just need to confirm it ....lol.
P.S. Hi Narelle !
Tex.
LC, just click on the download button and it will install it's self on your desk top.
open the programme and follow the instructions, it's very basic.
You'll see it finding infected files whilst its working.
At the end click on delet files and the job is done.
All the files can be looked at and the programe will tell you their name and what they do.
My computer is still running fine after running the application.
If you can't work it out, give me a call on Monday.
Tex.
HR, no I get the news the same time as the trading floor, but print time is delayed by 20 minutes.
The asx do however photocopy the companys faxed news release and I see that well before the NAB,Comsec and westpac traders.
Quite a few traders use my system, but I'm not sure if they use the multi screen set up.
It took Ross and his boys a fair bit of time to get the system going, but they have got it running like a dream now.
Yes the rain has been great up here, if I take a drive down your way and wash my car you can bet it'll rain for a week !!
I'm off for a beer !
Tex.
G'day HR, hows things in Melbourne.....Mexican weather no doubt !!
one screen is fully dedicated to asx news announcements, which means I can see the news for every OZ company as it is released....which is a huge advantage, buy the time you guys realise that something is going on I have already bought a parcel of shares !!!
The centre screen is the main control for watch lists and placing bids.
And the other screen is set on the stock that I'm trading.
All screens are fully functional e.g. I am typing this post on the left screen, whilst screening for virus on the middle screen, and playing music on the right screen.
the three screens act as if they are joined e.g. I can drag a window from the left screen accross to the middle screen and over to the far right screen in one smooth motion.
It's really amazing to watch.
Time out computers (Ross Bladen) is a mate that does all of this stuff for me, he operates in Brisbane but can send you any sort of system you like all the way to Melbourne, there is a nation wide dealer that handles any breakdowns or clitches for him.
I get a carton of beer per sale...lol !
Tex.
LCD's....!!! maybe after another 200 trades....lol, there about $7k each !
The photo really doesn't do the system justice, it's far better looking at it in the flesh, and the speed is amazing.
It's like driving a porsche all day at the office then jumping into a minni minor at home !!
I have to start working on understanding financial reports better, and I'd like to do a few courses on options/futures etc.
Then maybe one day getting into the charting side of things.
All in good time.
Tex.
Hi flea, I agree it is a better looking site.
I have been doing a search for my "company's name" (not a web site) with Looksmart for the last 12 months....today was the first time it appeared but the result was from Inktomi....backfill, google-overture etc all find it as well, but wisenut still can't find it ?
Can anyone tell me:
(1) why wisenut can't.
(2) when will LOOK shaft Inktomi ?
P.s. for those of you that dont read Y, try this site for getting hidden spyware programes off your computer.

Notice the photo of the Brizzy bash sitting on the tower !
Here it is !!!
Want to know how Tex trades ?????
Go to this site and click on "specials" at the bottom of the screen.

Quik, you are Tom.
Don't you remember me saying you looked like "Tom Cruise" with your mission impossible sun glasses ?????
Not a bad close on LOOK $2.96, I think LOK would have tanked today if the U.S. didn't put on a show last night.
Talk to you later Tom !!
Tex.
lol...thanks Carol, cracked me up when I saw that.
The funny thing is I can sing better than Jimmy, and the kids really are good at music, our son has three guitars !
You and LS are quite the computer experts, cheeky buggers !
Tex.
TW, yes I agree it's good to be away from the yobo's, but I find I learn more about the stock when a basher puts a BS post on the forum.
There was a guy on Y called "Cape", I learned twice as much about LOK through firey debate with that loony then I ever could through civil conversation.
This is a nice place to have a rest !
Will login in later to see the show.
Cheers Tex.
LS, classic mate!! we need nose jobs.eom.
X, I'm very well mate thanks for asking.
Hope things are well your end.
I'll shout you the first beer when I get to Adeliade, LOK bashes are always a raving success, and with Bodysurfer organising things I expect it will run like clock work !
Tex.
Hi Markco, just had a look at the pictures on my techie's computer tonight.
He's still got a bit of work to do on the web site before it's ready.
I was talking to him tonight, and they are getting ready to start a new system that allows then to access your computer from their workshop to fix any problems you may have with software.....wow...what a world we live in !
Tex.
Very high quality post Quik (tom)...lol.
Whens your next "mission impossible" sequel ??
Looking forward to catching up in Adelaide, I should be the proud owner of some LOK shares by then !
Tex.
Traden, I agree with you....when she goes she'll blow !!
I can't keep up with all of these posts, can you email me when your back in ?
Tex.
TW, we have gotta get you and LC together !
Two champion rampers in the one room....lol.
Good luck in the U.S. tonight.
Tex.
LS, sorry for the late reply.
Yes the BBQ went off very well, Bundydog and myself were the only two adults to hit the pool !!
LC was trying to chat up all the women.....can't take your eye of that guy for a second !
Haven't had the "evil weed" for nearly 4 months now, so fingers crossed I'll make it to the full 12 months and maybe have another BBQ!!
How were the beers in Sydney.....did you guys meet up ?
Tex.
Cheers Ollie.....later.....Tex......eom
TW, I gotta go.
I'm down at the office at the moment and the wife will be getting suspect !!
The news is, one day this shitty market will be over....don't try and fight it just go with the flow !!
Talk to you all later..............Tex.
TW, you little beauty !! we have a serious shortage of Queenslanders on this forum.
No doubt, my self-LC-Bundydog-and the sponge will take you out for a beer or two one day.
Speaking of "the sponge" Chris sent me an email the other day freaking out about that Hoax virus that you had Traden !!!
Tex.
Hi Ollie
I gotta say at first I was a bit angry, but soon realised that it was innocent enough.
Just don't anyone pull the same stunt with Jill !!
TG why don't you just register a few names so if the real pricks ever get here they can't use their old login name ?
Tex.
TW, I'm sure you have been asked this before, but I haven't been able to ready every post..so can I ask you where are you from and how long you have been investing for etc etc.
Tex.
I can assure you the squid joke was not mine.
I do have a sense of humour, so I understand the posters intention.......but I too found it in poor taste.
However I'm prepared to forgive the prankster......I reckon it was Markco and he's a good man !!
Tex.
TW, I see your holding..........good luck to you, I see nothing wrong with your stance so long as you can take the hit if it comes.
Best of luck in the U.S tonight.
I'll let you know when I'm back in, as a rule I don't enter on rallies.............so when it looks like the sky is falling thats when I'll make an appearence !
Tex.
##Some of those mothers are yum.##
One of my employees, calls them a "yummy mummy" !!!
35 years of age hey, only 3 more years before total melt down !!
I was wondering when you were going to pull the pin Scumbag, clearly 28c would have been better but I understand you reasons for holding.........it's best to wait and see if the retrace is for real, or you could miss an even better spike.
I have been very tempted to go back in, but the market is just crazy at the moment, so once again we must wait for calm to be restored.
I love been part of a bear market, it's an experience I'll never forget.............any thing that doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
For the record I say no to war, I'd rather lose a heap of cash then see people die for no good reason.......but thats another story.
Take it easy lads, in 6 months time this will all be just a bad dream, and we'll be having a few beers at the Melbourne bash.
P.s. If Jill or Dave ever find this forum......I'll kill someone !
Tex.
LC, I checked my phone....must be yours !!!
Tex.
it was not me !!!!!
Tex
No doubt this is the work of Ozestock, I'd say someone emailed Pat to rub it in.
Don't blame me !!!
Tex.
Yep no ones saying that the figures are bad, I wish some of my stocks were producing figures like that !!!
Bit of a quite day on the asx, short traders may want to have a look at AXA, I'm not holding them but they look cheap at this level still in a short down trend so trade with caution.
p.s. I think I may be the oldest on this forum.....lol !!
Alias Born On: Saturday, January 18, 2003
Cheers Tex.
I think it's a better system then Ozestock anyway, the funny thing was a guy came onto another ozestock forum and was spamming this new site, Ozestock deleted his posts about three days later......so they are aware of whats going on.
Heres a site you may have seen before, I think it's interesting.
http://www.suntimes.com/output/business/cst-fin-dotcom02.html
Cheers Tex.
LC, Ross my computer man you met at the BBQ, will be showing my triple screen system on his website soon !!
He was over here todat taking snap shots.
Stay tuned..!
P.s. Ozestock is like a ghost town....lol, maybe Pat will have to sit up and take notice.
Cheers Tex.
