Hard Drive Update: ECO Fail
My external hard drive failed and I lost about 5 years of pictures.
After looking at several companies, I decided to go with the least expensive, ECO Data Recovery and after 2 weeks they called today to tell me they were unable to recovery my data. They’ll be charging me $175 for the effort.
So I called […]

President Obama
I am disappointed. I voted for Bob Barr, but realistically wanted McCain to win. Not to be.
However, this is the positive side of an Obama presidency:
He has the ability to emotionally charge the masses
He may be a more favorable and likable president to foreign countries
Liberals and democrats have no excuses to make things work–they have […]

Protectionism is BAD
Last night Obama said he wanted to protect American jobs, penalize companies for “shipping jobs overseas”, and give money to companies who hired American. This is all protectionism and its BAD for the economy.
Sure he can give 100 sob stories about someone losing their job and how their 8 kids can’t afford to eat and […]

Racism and the White House
According to Gallup Polls,White voters are split on Obama v McCain, 44% to 50% respectively.
Black voters however, favor Obama over McCain 91% to 4%.
With 38 million blacks in the US, accounting for almost 13% of our population, and Obama’s lead at just 9%, is it possible that racism will choose our next president?
Keys to remember:
Racism […]

Current Position: Covered Call on SP emini
Right now I am long the SP emini with a sold 900 Nov call.
I bought the SP emini at 884.50 and sold the 900 call at 35. Right now I’m down a bit on the trade, but have a nice theta and my delta is only moderate.
I like the bounce play but want some free […]

Civil Disobedience Coming?
Obama scares the crap out of me. He seems to be totally in favor of socialistic economic policy, and today’s Drudge Report release of Obama’s 2001 radio interview solidifies that belief.
For the record, if Obama is elected, and has support from Congress and is able to significantly alter our economy to favor socialism, I will […]

Hard drive recovery update
As you know, my external hard drive failed recently—with all the digital pictures I’ve ever taken on it, and tons of video and lots of other documents.
I’ve decided to go with ECO Data Recovery.
I talked to people from them, Data Recovery Corp, and Drive Savers. Although I felt like Drive Savers had the best chance […]

The time is now to start a lean cash machine
We’re likely heading into a recession. Our likely next president’s likely tax hikes on the job-creators will likely push us further into a recession. So it must be a horrible time to start a new company or invest in one, right?
Not bloody likely. (”wrong”)
Andy and I started DaytradeTeam.com in 2000. We were giving stock trading […]

Worst Sign Ad I’ve seen
It’s Friday, so I’ll keep it light….
I was riding my bike the other day, burning a few calories when I took a break to take a drink and noticed a sign:
If someone gets the point of the sign, and its not:
“We can’t do big jobs quickly”
“If you ask us to do big jobs quickly, you […]

Back up your data!
I thought I was…
I store all my digital pictures on an Acomdata external hard drive. The reason I do this is because I’ve had the same home desktop computer for about 6 years, but I’ve had to ‘nuke’ it 3 or 4 times to get it back to pristine condition.
Well today I was going to […]
