   You are referring to Q1 2010, GS had 3 months without a single day of trading losses. During the same period, JPM, C, and BAC also had a perfect quarter (1). While its true that HFT groups tend to have great win/loss records (2), those "tr

   They do sell toe socks, and I've generally seen toe socks available from other vendors long before Vibram FiveFingers have existed. You don't really need the socks though, and I've only worn them barefoot. The material is moisture wicking a

   Thanks Dirtae. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that it only serves iphone users (blackberry/android pending). I suspect that iPhone (and generally smart phone) users will be less likely customers though, because its general

    I used to really like it. There's a lot of good, but in the last 2 years, increasing content that I'm not so much a fan of. For the most part the stuff in his "Best of" column on the blog is worth reading. One of my favorites was applying

    Good question brosephius. I was not/am not aware that yahoo finance and other brokerages do it for free. Didn't find it immediately with a quick Google search either, so I'd appreciate the link (though I found another site that is new to m

    I think you're hinting that the existence of stop orders make this unnecessary. For some people that may be true. Quote Sentinel only notifies you -- at the time the first Quote Sentinel script was written, I couldn't find something that w

    Seems false. 1. Housing market debt dwarfs higher education debt in notional value. >14 Trillion vs 830B. 2. Most mortgages are non-recourse, meaning you can walk away. Most education loans are not. So people can't just leave banks on
