I believe his posts are worthy regardless of the number of bookmarks but, what the h*ck, there: n83 is my one and only person bookmarked... <g>

Go to

independent reviews of dsl providers by area.
(I got snappydsl a.k.a. cofs using their recommendations, and I'm very happy with them)

Zeev,
Naz New Highs is only 195. (Up from 129 yesterday) Do you assign any significance to it?
TIA
H.
Done.

<Edit: I just realized that your post was from yesterday, and that some other people helped already>
Regretfully I never did options with QT.
Somehow I think the problem is with the amounts of "Value Qty Paid". Maybe "Paid" is the total amount paid ($3.20 x 10) and not unitary price. Another possibility is that it might be discounting a high value for commissions.
The right place to ask this question is at:
http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/subject.gsp?subjectid=22551
Or if you are not a SI member:

Sorry I cannot be of more help.
H.
No, no. The program is actually quite "clean"
The free version has a small advertising banner, but no spy-ware.
You can get rid of the banner by paying $60 a year.
It's biggest strength (in my view) is that you can hook this program up to practically any quote source there is including streamers. And technical support is superb.
You can browse the SI thread, and you'll find mostly very satisfied users. (I'm one)

INTC went from LOD at 15:15 to HOD at the close...

Quotetracker has options to calculate portfolio value based on last price, bid, and several others.
I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for.
Excellent program overall, and free.

As a "regular lurker" I agree with every single word of your post.
Let's move on to better things...
Great group.
H.
I for one don't use people marks, but read all the quality groups.
And yes, n83 posts are both high quality, and very balanced. One more worthy contributor to the group.
H.
(I don't do charts, so my contribution potential is very limited, besides I try not to clutter the group with "noise" but I read and appreciate every post)
I love you, you love me,
we are a happy...
Oooops! I guess this is TOO much. <g>
H.
I see the chart all right, but no annotations.
(But I'm not a member of Stockcharts...)
H.
Hey, it happens to all of us every now and then.
Just remember there's always another bus coming. (Even though sometimes you have to beg to get enough for the fare. <g>)

Did you get a COTH signal yet?
(My gut feeling says yes)
TIA

Bob,
Wahz from board:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/board.asp?board_id=1566
has a very interesting list of 18 stocks to Buy and Hold. ("Eighteen for the Echo," near the bottom of the board header)
Very good results from his picks in the past.
Check it out.
H.
Excellent reply by Kanuti.
Let me add that for several years Toshiba has been "THE" laptop to consider first, having overall the best quality, and price/performance ratio. (This is highly debatable, of course.<g>)
Dell laptops have been improving in quality of late so they might not be a bad choice either.
Regarding Kanuti's article: options 3, and 4 are rather cumbersome, and it's not what you are looking for.
Option 2 works in every portable, so what I would do is to buy a portable with an external VGA port, (most laptops have it) and try to make the second monitor work. If it doesn't then I'd buy a PCMCIA video card, (They are not expensive) and that's guaranteed to work.
Good luck.
H.
Mmmmnnn...
I never saw it that way...
But probably the "really big guys" will extricate themselves out of their positions before the "big event" comes leaving us as bag-holders. (same as with stocks <g>)
(This is a complex matter anyway, and we are like the blind men touching different parts of the proverbial elephant)
H.
I stand corrected:
deflation is indeed the opposite of inflation. Recession is just a probable consequence of deflation.
Agreed that the Fed is more worried about deflation than inflation. So far they were not able to inflate much in spite of the constant money creation. (And that's because most foreign countries are also trying to inflate their economies)
H.
wahz,
excellent discussion!
Let me point out that an instant devaluation has very little possibility of coming to pass for two reasons:
1) The rest of the world would oppose it big time, as it would drag them into a monster recession.
2) It would benefit the huge number of people who refinanced their homes. (and took money out) We know that the game is rigged to benefit the powers that be, and not the little guy. ---BTW: This is the main reason that makes me think that the "next thing" is a recession, not inflation.
(Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice... <g>)
H.
(My personal opinion is that the Fed has no politically feasible exit plan, and that they will try to maintain the status quo at all costs until some "catastrophic event" forces their hand.)
Naz New Highs just jumped to 259.
Do we have blast off now? <g>
H.
Zeev,
I've been holding KLAC since the first days of October, and I just realized it reports earnings tonight.
Do you see any compelling reasons to hold it through earnings?
TIA (Thanks In Advance)
H.
Yes, I saw the "small decline near the open with a low before 11:00" earlier today.
For us, ultra-funds guys, a red/green close prediction is more important, but 10% cash gives me that information.
Thanks again.
H.
Zeev,
do you have a roadmap for today?
TIA
H.

Everything that's technology is somehow related to investing.
I for one enjoy hearing opinions, and gossip, from people active in the field. It beats reading journals by a mile, (I can hardly read them anymore) and "popular" science literature is so full of sales pitches it stinks...
(And if we are going to transgress, at least let's do it with superconductivity, and not with baseball. --Although this is the first time I got interested in a "World" Series. Go Marlins! <g>)

Sorry guys, but Webster Groves has it exactly right when he says:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Everybody thinks when things get cheaper that you can buy more.
The answer is that you will buy less, you will have less, and what you do have you'll worry about losing.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
He has described what happens during deflationary times in a very clear and didactic manner.
Many people think that deflation is a mirror image of inflation. Nothing further from the truth.
During inflationary times there are losers and winners. (Those who took huge debts at fixed rates)
During deflation there's only losers. Even if you have lots of Cash (the theoretical best position to be in during deflation) you'll find that people just don't sell to you.
USA has not gone through a "good" deflation in the lifetime of people alive today. You just don't know what it is.
You don't want deflation.
H.
And I thought that Rush was put out to pasture... <ng>
What the author of this highly misinformed article chooses to forget is that immigrants fill a huge vacuum in the USA job pool.
At the high end they come with technical degrees while many red blooded Americans choose to study Journalism, Philosophy, History, Art, etc.
At the low end (where most illegals are) they work in construction, mowing lawns, cleaning houses, and in hundreds other jobs that no American would be caught alive doing.
If immigrants are allowed here is for a reason: to do the stinky jobs that no American would do, and the jobs that are in scarce supply due to limited availability of native brain power. (Because is far less demanding to study Philosophy than Physics)
All else is hypocrisy.
H.
(you guessed it: an immigrant myself, and an unemployed programmer for 2 years now. I proud myself of not ever collecting unemployment, but making a decent living trading full time instead)
Yep,
the good thing of adding trend following (to an OB/OS system)is that it never lets you stay on the wrong side of the market for long. You don't lose much money when the system is not tracking the market, and you make a bundle when it gets "in sync"
Happy (and successful) trading,

Excellent post Warpfactor, and I agree 100%.
Let me add that I had very good results with a trend following system with an overbought/oversold sub-system to anticipate turning points. (overruling the current trend)
For both sub-systems it helps to have a polling of indicators (i.e.: 2 out of 3) instead of relying in a single one.
This is the simplest system I found that gives rather consistent positive returns. (But nothing to get rich in 3 years... <g>)
The choice of indicators, and parameters must vary with the underlying security traded, and personal style.
H.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
it would seem prudent to get that chore over with sooner rather than later so the tenor of the markets will be rising into the elections instead of stalling
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Agreed 100%. But somehow "They" seem to have other ideas, and so far they have been able to maintain the market aloft against very bad odds.
(Note: that's my medium term, Oliver Stone-like, read of the market. I trade Rydex Ultrafunds day to day using T.A. and statistics)
H.
Hey LG,
Nice to have you back.
I do very little T.A. and no F.A. but I think that "Thinking Like a Criminal" (your Trademark) nowadays means that this market is going to be held up (with very minor corrections) by the powers that be until the coming elections. After that...

So are you saying that foreigners will continue to allow US citizens to live way beyond their means forever? And this when the US President is detested in much of the world.

Yep! It's called "Pax Americana" and happens at the beginning of the end of all great empires... (and it can last longer than everybody expects)
H.
What just happened?
The Funds closed the books for the 3rd Quarter? <vbg>
(Facetious question. No need to answer...)
QQQ closes at 16:15
The rest of the market (and the indices) close at 16:00.
Yesterday QQQ dropped big time between 16:00 and 16:15. That accounts for the difference you see today.
H.
On the same vein:
COMPQ flatish, and Advances = 742, Declines = 1826.
A few, "selected," stocks are keeping the whole market from going down...

That's why I suggested $30 for memory and no more than $50 on a video card if that doesn't help enough. Beyond that, a new system is a better option.

Oh, I agree 100%!
But you were somehow a bit subtle with your advice. <g>
I wanted to put it in a much blunter way so he knew exactly what to do.
Keep on the good work. (I'm referring now to your market analysis)
H.
I just wanted to add to ajtj99 excellent advice that adding 256Mb RAM memory is a must. Win98 does NOT work well with only 128Mb. (Microsoft advertisements notwithstanding: Memory was expensive back then...)
Also keep in mind that you can get a new, fairly good computer, (much better that your current one --sniff) for about $300 - $350. So don't go overboard spending money in upgrades.
Good luck.
