I don't use any current version of windows. But I do use Firefox, which is stable. IE has a microsoft connection. Chrome has a Google Connection (google has recently changed how they handle privacy, who knows what tweaks they have in their brows…

Saw Gattaca, when it came out. Thx for the reminder, might be time for a second screening.

First off, who you going to believe your Comrade Me or (Roger Ebert, Imdb, or other raters :).
Second - I don't go by ratings
Third - You're right, some people let their ideologies affect their thoughts on a movie or a book - he…

I just saw the movie Atlas Shrugged: Part I (2011 movie adapted from Ayn Rand's Book). I never read the book nor am i a proponent of her ideology. but i enjoyed the movie (thought provoking). Mo, I think you would pur…
Bee,
I only wrote the program to put clickable links in the first columns - funds with parentheses are not clickable. All the data was converted from David and Chips hardwork of gathering and presenting info under the managers changes

All they have to do is rewrite the image at morningstar. Each time you browse this page, it re-reads the image, so if the MarketBarometer.png is replaced, you read the new one. As an (electricity-wasting) experiment, if you le…

Thanks for the embedded link but .... Sometimes it seems a non-embed link to where you are pointing to (instead of or in addition to would be helpful).
E.g. This embed shows a plugin must be installed. But it might be interesting to see the link …
If the wordpress menu with the Bull logo appears you are embedded, if not you are using the non-embedded version.
see this discussion - the links inside point to embedded and non-embedded.

Thanks, I'm aware of the quirk. Once you click on any link "Discussions, Activity, etc.) you essentially enter the iframe mode and from that point on it is impossible (for me, I've tried to go up the DOM without success it st…

I can only say what I see in firefox browser the box expands as I type, it starts with five line and each time I hit enter the box resizes. I tried entering 20 lines and all were visible. So, either you are missing something or yo…

Test OAKBX. Also when editing a thread that contains a fund or etf, the fund pop-up will not be available.
This too, is a temporary situation. If you go back to the board and re-enter the thread
Had you in mind on this one :). Thanks for the feedback. Thought of a way to toggle back and forth between views (non-wp and wp), but I don't think the non-header version really needs to be promoted or will be implemented, since it is bare without …
Got a link to an example where this has happened.
It looks ok here

LOL - click and clack mentioned Commonwealth Ave. last week, thats where I got the idea.
I looked at your link. My guess is that's Paul Revere.
I looked at the link and it mentioned scrod. Do you know the scrod joke about an …

Mo,
I saw someone driving erratically down Commonwealth ave. They were muttering something about overpaid tollbooth workers and they were driving a mint condition red Hummer that looked like the tires never saw an unpaved road. T…
I'll have a look to see if its possible. Lots of time things don't work as hoped within the worpress embedding, especially with scrolling. It will probably need to wait for a few weeks before some other changes are made.

When you use the back button, you are reading the cached page, you are not rereading a page from the web. That is why the read messages don't update to indicate you have read them, because you are viewing the cache as if you never clicked the lin…
FWIW, it just seems like a person who liked a site posted their opinions on why it is good for them, not an ad posted by the owners of the said site. Seems reasonable enough to me. No different than posting to any other link (e.g., morningstar or…

I don't know if David did anything. Perhaps he did.
It looks like you have two profiles with two logins.
It would be cleaner if you stuck with the one you like best and the other one was deleted.
