  1. The reason why I hate network TV, they just cancel shit without resolving anything. I never watched the show ... I don't watch a lot of TV because of this. I mean why ever get into the plot of a show when they just cancel things without resolving the plot.

    ...your best bet is to go and search the market yourself for penny stock companies that are either seasonal or you just have a feeling.

     

     

    I restate my previous post.

     

     

    Penny stocks are not a good place "to get your feet wet."

     

     

    If you are a long way to retirement, save a few hundred dollars a month in a ROTH IRA. Even $100 a month is good if you are young. If you do it right, by the time you are ready to retire the money you make in the Roth IRA can be withdrawn tax free.

  3. penny stocks are a scam, if you want to lose your money go ahead and try them out. Most companies that trade on the pink sheets and bulletin board do not have anytype of business operation. Insiders sell stock to people like you and get rich. They pay to have their stocks promoted on various website, these payments are ofen in stock. These companies trade at pennies for a reason.

     

    If you have some decent coin, go talk with a financial adviosr and they will get you on a plan so that you can retire one day when you get older. Open a roth IRA with any money you want to play with. Buy yourself some shares of Google or something like that and in 20 years you will have a nice nest egg.

     

    I am a stock trader for a large brokerage firm and have seen the fraud mentioned above many times.

     

    Here is a great link from the SEC regarding micro cap stocks

    There was a story within the story. Omar was the best character ever.

     

     

    They know when to end a series, I think FOX can take a lesson with what they did to prison break.

  5. I know there is a lot of hate/dislike on these boards for the monopolists over at comcast. Many have been victims of their service, be it lag or unable to get on the internet.

     

    I personally thought this was comcastic and encourage everyone who may have been effected to claim your $16

    Comcast To Compensate Throttled BitTorrent Users

    Comcast has decided to settle one of the lawsuits brought about over their use of the Sandvine BitTorrent throttling hardware to ‘manage’ their network. For those who were affected, there is the possibility of receiving a payment from a $16 million fund set up by the Internet service provider.

     

     

    The Comcast BitTorrent throttling story is one of the major case studies for net neutrality. More than two years have passed since we broke the story that led to an FCC investigation and even lawsuits from affected users.

     

    In one of the class action suits that were brought about from the long-running incident, Comcast has now agreed to settle, meaning those affected may be eligible for compensation.

     

    About two and a half years ago, reports surfaced on what appeared to be the throttling of BitTorrent connections by Comcast. The throttling, first discovered by Rob Toplowski, was confirmed by TorrentFreak, and was first reported in August 2007. Other news agencies picked it up later, especially after tests by the EFF and Associated Press confirmed events and included reports that other network based activity was also affected.

     

    Comcast long-denied any wrongdoing, but a leaked memo revealed that the company went as far as instructing its front-line staff to lie about the issue. Then the FCC got involved and things deteriorated. At a hearing at Harvard, Comcast packed the venue with people they bussed in, but it didn’t stop the BitTorrent throttling practice being termed a ‘hacker technique’.

     

    Eventually, some assurances were made, and the FCC ordered Comcast to stop using Sandvine. Meanwhile lawsuits had been filed. One of these, Hart vs Comcast of Alameda, attained class action status, and there is now a proposed settlement.

     

    Comcast has agreed to put $16M into a fund to pay BitTorrent users that were inconvenienced by the ‘network management’.

     

    The downside is the size of the settlement. If you qualify, you can receive a maximum of $16, yet still Comcast refuses to accept it did anything wrong. The administrators of the settlement have set up a website to deal with questions about the case which can be found at www.p2pcongestionsettlement.com

     

    It’s not hard to imagine that some customers will feel this doesn’t go far enough, and undoubtedly the discussion on this topic will continue. For the affected Comcast users there is still time to decide how to proceed – the deadline for claims is August 14th 2010. Meanwhile, network neutrality remains a pipe dream for most people.
