tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Just curious daytrader, does that accelerator help during peak hours? The last one I used only gave me grainy crap, but it has been a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Just curious daytrader, does that accelerator help during peak hours? The last one I used only gave me grainy crap, but it has been a few years. the accelerator will work at any time, because it compresses the images, they look like shit till you right click on them and ask for full quality.

tommie gorman Posted January 1, 2007 CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Oh, they fixed it some then. So then you still have to wait for a good picture then? Guess it really saves no time then. Except maybe on text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytrader Posted January 1, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 1, 2007 Tommie..bellsouth accelerator had a 'slider' control.. the more acceleration, the more graphic image loss.. on maxium, image was there and you could tell what it was, but almost like a faded, black & white picture..washed out colors..nevertheless, it helped me alot.. with text, (trading stocks, etc..) it sure beat 26kbps and waiting waiting all day..lol..to see something in high definition.. Comcast cable on my office computer where I used to work tested only about 350Kbps..company had 43 computers (offices)..don't know if that made any difference or not.. I DO know on the week-ends when working my supv and me would check out some eye-popping internet sites during breaks and stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytrader Posted January 2, 2007 Author CID Share Posted January 2, 2007 Tommie..no..I got shafted on a job promotion, after filling in & doing the job for 5 months..my Supervisor got busted on a drug test..I took over for 5 months..then, out of the blue they promote much younger 'minority' guy..he had been with company 3 years, I had been there 9 years..I am 55, he is 28..so I told them to stick it where the sun don't shine.. I had been 'part-time' trading stocks for 7 years and since Febuary I stay at home, trading stocks..FULL TIME...on dial-up.. had a good GREEN year too..and no BS bosses to put up with, trafffic to fight, and my "work" hours are market hours.. 9:30 am to 4pm..but it's not like I stay glued to computer during those hours..I have my buys and sell set to sell automatically..and I just about do whatever I want to..best "job" I ever had..but it's something you can't learn overnight..and they for sure are not all winners..so you cut your loses Quick...there's plenty of other stocks out there..about 15000..and live to trade another day.. my real experienced buddy in NY is real quick and has been doing it longer than I have..here's a shot of some trades he did in 4 DAYS..can you imagine..sitting on a beach with a laptop watching the babes stroll by..making money like this.. MANY people do.. notice amount of TIME he owned the stock.. and banks pay what..3~4% a YEAR on a CD.. penny stocks is where the action is! if you know someone who trades stocks, ask them to confirm these prices on these stocks on these particular days.. they are genuine! 08/18/2005 10:02:17 Bought 3000000 NEXH @ 0.0003 -905.00 08/18/2005 11:38:57 Sold 3000000 NEXH @ 0.0004 1,194.94 08/19/2005 11:11:16 Bought 3000000 AXAI @ 0.0003 -905.00 08/19/2005 11:35:22 Sold 1000000 AXAI @ 0.0006 594.97 08/19/2005 11:46:24 Sold 2000000 AXAI @ 0.0005 994.95 08/22/2005 09:39:26 Bought 7000000 GMCI @ 0.0002 -1,405.00 08/22/2005 09:52:39 Sold 4000000 GMCI @ 0.0005 1,994.91 08/22/2005 10:29:55 Sold 3000000 GMCI @ 0.0006 1,794.92 08/22/2005 09:38:23 Bought 5000000 GMCI @ 0.0002 -1,005.00 08/22/2005 09:52:39 Sold 5000000 GMCI @ 0.0005 2,494.89 08/22/2005 10:36:19 Bought 5000000 GFYD @ 0.0001 -505.00 08/22/2005 11:43:12 Sold 5000000 GFYD @ 0.0002 994.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
