Hi, wonder if anyone can share your experience of a software that can analyse multi-legged option trades AND keep track of option positions (i.e. I am specifically looking for a software that can produce a table or graph showing my position value everyday over time vis-a-vis the stock movement).

Preferably, the software is a 1-time purchase and not a monthly-subscription-based product.

Thanks.

This has to be 1-2 par
Many high-technology companies, like Nortel Networks, Micron Technology and JDS Uniphase, have written down massive amounts of their inventory. For example, Nortel Networks revalued some of its inventory parts at {content}, though the inventory initially cost Nortel 0 million.

Companies are required to report whether they write off the cost value (or book value) or their inventory even if they do not dispose of the inventory. Later on, they may sell this inventory but are not required to report the sale for cash of previously "worthless" inventory. The effect may be that in future years, when the inventory is sold, profits are overstated.

Also in the article, JDS Uniphase said it will write off 0 million of its inventory but promised to disclose any future sale. On the other hand, Micron Technology, which wrote down 0 million, won’t disclose any future sale (Krantz, 2001). Should the Securities and Exchange Commission do anything? Why?

Ok the computer is under three years old and my warranty is still good until august of 2010. I am starting my own business, and my boyfriend and I rely on this computer, and I have a possible big client coming up. He needs things done NOW, and this computer is totally screwed up..Heres what happend:

The computer is a Dimension 5150 E510 & was a gift because I was going to online school at the time for my senior year and my gram bought it for me.(Cost around 00 new) Its got Intel(R)
Pentium(R) D CPU 2.66GHz, 1.99 GB of RAM…..Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3…80GB hard drive… (Crappy)

It never did burn or read dvd’s although its supposed to (I called and asked)….Figured it was the DVD’s I was trying to use to burn things…

Then in February I got good DVD + R’s (expensive not cheap ones) and tried those. Same results. Then I had to re-install windows. Well it wasn’t reading any of the insallation discs, so I called Dell. This moron tech told me to sit at my computer and he’d talk me through it. I told him I was not comfortable doing this, and to talk to my boyfriend who’s excellent with computers. He refused to (I’ve had them talk to my BF before w/ no problems)..then told me (Who’s totally computer illiterate and I told him so) to delete something. Turns out it was the IDE Drives on it, and I couldn’t get them back. After 4 hours on the phone, another tech walked my boyfriend throug to re-install everything.

Well my computers been giving me problems since (Freezing, needing restarted all the time). I looked it up and deleting the IDE drives screw up your system. I was still not able to burn or read DVDS and I use them as storage for my business( w/ clients info contracts ect).

Called twice before the figured out that the partition for the DVD drive was permenantly deleted. Said i need new updated XP reinstallation discs and drive. Took them two weeks and one rescheduled tech appointment for the guy to come today to put in a new drive. well this one is doing the same thing. And my computer is acting worse now…freezing..had to be restarted 5 times in like 15 minutes for going to a black screen.

Called again screaming (I can’t lose this client coming up but cant start work w/o a reliable system). They put me on top priority for replacing my system. Turns out they said after two hours of arguing about NOT trusting a refurbished computer….they’d build me a "New" E510 and let me keep my hard drive, I’ll get a "NEW" tower with a new hard drive (160 GB most new desktops are standard with 300+ on their site), two dvd drives, and thats it.

I looked up their refurbished E510s (3 refurbs total) and they have one with a 150GB drive but all are "Scratch and Dent". (Visible dents, scratches, marks) I’m angry. This is not fair. This computer was purchased new and never could read DVD’s/Burn them…and they expect me to settle.

I got a CEO fax number for dell and found a litigator for them. I was thinking of calling them and telling them this is not acceptable considering this is going to take me another week to two weeks. I’ll have a junk computer and have to start with a new client w/in the next week. The refuse to send me a system that cost the same as mine did new.(Used it would cost me 0+ for the Tower, 0 for my monitor ect. ) they have a studio computer thats NOT much better than mine only smaller….Its cheaper than what mine cost brand new and what it would cost to replace the comp. if I bought used tower/monitor same as I have.

Should I file a report to their CEO office in America (I cant stand that outsourcing they over talk you and wont shut up or understand anything)….or take this new "scratch and dent" computer…

This has been on going for 3 months, dell caused my computer to fry after I had specifically asked them to let my boyfriend do this not me..(Deleting the IDE drives…again I know nothing more than how to use the computer and like word and photoshop.) This is techincally all dells fault. I told them not to talk to me in the first place. When my boyfriend heard me say "OK IDE Drives deleted…" He started screaming saying NO NO NO!!!! He is not computer illiterate like I happen to be..and he wouldn’t have done that..I was only following their orders.

what should I do call their CEO company (Ive read consumers get more help there if you have a escalated case) ….I just want a new computer of equalivent value…that WORKS and is not something someone returned for a problem.

I know they sell scratch and dent right after they get them. My boyfriends laptop’s motherboard fried out…tech fixed it hooked up wires wrong and it overheated to the point of starting a fire. They sent a new system. We need a report of tech fixes on the original laptop for personal reasons. And I finally found the old computer I couldn’t understand why they said the motherboard was fixed in january of 2009 when we got the new co

I tried to start a cell phone service on ATT online, at the end it says "Depending on your credit information, a deposit may be required to activate service. We are unable to accept deposits online"
does this mean that i can set up an account in the store with a deposit? and does anyone know how much that deposit may be?

i really don’t know about cell phone system in America. i’m wandering about Go Phone which don’t need SNN. is that mean i can get the phone and card or something to refill without any contract, and just use it? if somebody knows about this, please tell me.

you may think this question is wired, but I’m not live in America. and i don’t wanna buy expensive cell phone for a short trip.
also, i’m gonna stay in America for a week. after that, can i use the phone again? i mean,, i go back to my home country and go to America again about a year later.

I’m looking for the noise you hear when unlocking the nuke in the killstreak rewards menu, not the noise you get from calling one in during a game.
Thank you!

Really long try and stick with me people

My fiance is part owner in an online personal training company. He was working with a couple of women that lived a couple hours away from us. One of the woman we’ll call E started calling and texting late at night around 9 or even 10 P.M. I told him that he needed to set boundries, she never called with anything urgent or anything that couldnt wait until the morning. I told him to tell her to only call during regular business hours or unless it was an emergency. He always said "ok i will" but she didnt stop so im assuming he never told her.
They took the site offline to completely revamp the site about 7 months ago and they just put it back up. As far as i know there was no contact between them during this time period.
The other day i needed to get on ebay to look for some textbooks and he told me to use his account. He didnt remember what his user id was so he said to put in his email and have them send him his id. So i did that and then i went to his email to get the ebay id.
While i was in his email i saw there were some emails going back and forth with E so i checked it out. He had said the new system was up and wanted to tell her about it. E wanted to set up a time to talk and he responded he wanted to meet with her to tell her about the big picture. He said he would call her on friday (last week)
-I dont understand why a meeting is necessary its a website…i dont see why a phone call isnt good enough and why he isnt contacting the other woman about it that had worked just as hard?-
The next night we were having dinner and his phone went off letting him know he had a text. When he brought the phone from the counter to the table i saw that it was E texting him. He didnt read it just set the phone down. When he went to the bathroom i hit a button so it would light up and i could get the gist of the message and it said "just remembered i cant m" and thats all it showed without me opening it. He came out and was playing with his phone then we left to go to my parents to pick up thier dog(pet sitting). When we were almost there his text message signal went off again. He refused to come in with me (i assume so he could read and text back).
When we got home he took a shower and i looked for the texts to see if they were planning to meet or something and all of her messages were gone while none from anyone else were. Also she was deleted from the call log.

A while after we first started dating his ex was always calling and texting him. I would find out and ask him about it and he would lie to my face until id grab his phone and bring it up. I gave him an ultimatum to stop talking to her or i was gone (she was playing mind games to get him to go back to her and he was "too nice" to say get lost"
So now it seems to me like something odd is going on with this E woman. He didnt say they were talking again and planning a meeting…he’s deleting messages from her…the only difference between now and the past is he has gotten better at hiding things….this worries me. Should i try to see if they meet and he tells me the truth or should i call him out on it now?

Where I am located, I can get Comcast DSL for 59.99 and Vonage Business for 49.99. That puts me up to 0 a month.

What resources can I use to compare internet plans?

Do you know how I can get this cheaper?

I purchased a Siements WLAN 108 repeater and cannot get it to work no matter what I do. I decided I would reset it to the factory settings and start over again and there appears to be no hard reset option.
