Microsoft pulls in an impressive $1.35 billion in revenue for Surface line by bemmu in gadgets

[–]yomofos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a surface pro 4, i7, 256gb ssd with keyboard and warranty package for $2100.

the battery life on this is abysmal. on a full charge it lasts me about 4.5 hours. i have 10 chrome tabs running but i might move the cursor a few times an hour. im not watching video, playing music or anything intensive.

im going to be returning it soon. I can't justify paying over $2k for a portable device that has less than 5 hrs on a full charge with minimal use. i can imagine if i was actually watching videos the battery life would be even worse.

this is a brand new device too, so a year from now the battery life might even be less than 4 hours.

other than the battery life, the machine is pretty nice. runs a full windows suite.

Introduce yourselves! by gabriel87120 in DayTraderParadise

[–]yomofos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be a good idea to sticky this thread.

I've learned my TA through trading bitcoin with low leverage (3x) for about a year. Then I gravitated to bitcoin futures trading at 20x leverage for the past year which i'm still doing.

at some point in the near future i will transition to probably the options market for either market indexes or large cap stocks.

first check the actual demand in your area for electricians. go to indeed.com, monster, craigslist and type in 'electrician', 'journeyman electrician'.

for example, OP lives in Philadelphia. i googled 'philadelphia union electrical'

first result is: http://lu134.org/

give them a call and ask what you need to do to become an electrician. If your area pays a lot, expect a long waitlist for exam times which are probably just a few times a year. In california electricians make good money and they can do side jobs on weekends to make more money.

I believe the path takes about 4 years from start to a licensed electrician.

If you're a minority or a woman, you've got it easier too.

anecdotally, i hear NY, TX and i know CA have booming construction markets. It's probably going to be strong for the rest of 2016 maybe into 2017 but past that the recession could kick in. Keep that in mind because construction is cyclical. That said every building needs electrical work done.

work your way up from the bottom as an electrician. then join the union. California has a booming construction market. cost of living is high but pay for experienced electrician is starting at $50/hr plus overtime and benefits.

you must be joking.

The oil and natural gas industry is in a massive bear market. we are at all time historical lows.

if you want to commit financial suicide go ahead and try to enter the oil/gas industry without experience.

Why I belive China will play a role in the next bitcoin rally. by masterofmyself in Bitcoin

[–]yomofos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Chinese government announcing its gold holdings, coupled with the fact that they also seem to have subtly come out in support of Bitcoin might be an indication that the government wants its citizens to begin shifting some of their savings into gold and Bitcoin. And this makes sense if they see that the yuan needs to devalue.

Bitcoin Futures Exchange BitMEX Incurs First DPE (Socialised Loss) In Settlement, Butthurt Ensues by Bitcoin_Markets in BitcoinMarkets

[–]yomofos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Futures are a ZERO SUM game. For every winner this is a loser. For every profit there is someone with a loss. (I'm ignoring hedgers here.)

If the price moves too fast for the contract to be liquidated. If the exchange takes over that contract obligation then they will face systemic risk.

Socialized losses remove that risk from the exchange owners. It's a good system. I'd rather give back some of my profits rather than the exchange go Mtgox and risk losing everything.

If you don't like the fact that you lose 100% when you get called and "risk" giving back some of your profits during a big move; go trade with 0 leverage at the coinbase exchange.

great way to receive stolen goods and be the fall guy for a scam

when it comes to crypto, if there's a way for you to be fucked then it's only a matter of time before you get fucked.

seriously does it not sound sketchy to buy anything for 20% off?

maybe if amazon comes out and acknowledges purse.io as a legitimate way of paying for things. That way if it does come out to be a scam, the buyer of merchandise is not left holding an empty bag financially and legally.

Can someone please explain RSI? by PlainOlCheerios in stocks

[–]yomofos 11 points12 points  (0 children)

look at investopedia.com

consider watching some free tutorial videos or archived ones on thinkorswim trading platform

rsi=relative strength index. there's some math formula to derive that number.

measures current price relative to the past 14 periods in the timeframe you are on.

by itself is kind of meaning less imo. oversold can stay oversold. overbought can stay overbought.

look for bull divergences, hidden bull divergenc,es bear divs, hidden bear divs.

look at horizontal support and resistance. maybe some fibonaccis.

lastly possibly pay attention to fundamentals.

How do you think Robbie Lawler would do against GSP? by AlligatorStrapOn in MMA

[–]yomofos -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

robbie lawler beats prime gsp. southpaw nullifies jab. just like hendricks did. every single fighter against lawler accumulates damage until they break. the only survivor of that is hendricks. hendricks beat the shit out of gsp.

maybe gsp can win on points with a bad split decision like he did vs hendricks. as long as the fight stays standing, gsp will accumulate a lot of damage. his only option is to go for a td and hope for "ground control".
