I agree and disagree. The link works on all of my Windows/Linux machines. We do have a Mac though, running OS X 10.4, and it used to work, but now it doesn't. I think they changed software or links on us a while ago. If you ask me, it was a change for the worse.

in Microsoft sneakily cripples customers' computers overnight on An Onymous Lefty
OpenOffice is heading towards the same end result as MSOffice is., ie bloatware.
Developers keep adding 'features' that 0.001% of the population will actually use (but unfortunately it's a different 0.001%'s each time).

Now as for Ubuntu/Linux/RedHat or whatever the latest scions are of the 1970's UNIX system, I have no intention to try and master all the idiosyncrasies of those systems., nor do I want to spend my life pecking away at a command-line, nor do I want to figure out where the 'close the application' button is on the latest and colourfull gui.
Come-on *nix people., lose some of the ego and standardise a bit more, because my granny has no intention on learning what the '-l' switch does on the 'ls' command on all of the differring distros.
I'm not a great fan of Microsoft, but their stuff generally works fine without requiring excessive hassle for the majority of users who's end goal is simply to get a job done. eg. run a spreadsheet.

zoot For me Open Office is much more intuitive than the MS suite. Extensions are nice because if you don't need/want them you don't install them.
And I don't know when ranter last interacted with a *nix box but they've invented this great system called X-Window. It means you need to use the command line about as often as you do with Window$.
That said, I will concede that to be comfortable with Linux it helps if you're a propeller head. I'm using Linux most of the time now, and there are still wrinkles they need to iron out, but for stability and speed it can't be beaten.

in FXI and FXP on Lawrence's Market Blog
Lots of people playing with inverse ETFs but don't know how they work. They use lots of options strategies in these funds, and they only track DAILY activities. So if you're a nimble day trader you can do pretty well, but don't swing them for more than a few days at max - and certainly not buy-and-hold them; that would be a disaster.

Remember, during the last few months of last year, the VIX went through the roof, so these inverse ETFs shot up, but since then the VIX has been trending down, hence these ETFs haven't done well at all, until the last few days, when the VIX was bouncing. Remember, options get a lot more expensive when the VIX is high and volatile. So even if the markets drop, but the drop is gradual, and the VIX is not very high, you can still lose by holding these inverse funds for more than a few days (options lose premiums with low/tamed VIX and time.)

They're best suited for day trading, in this case, they track (inversely) the underlying indices pretty well, of course not exactly 2x or 3x as advertised due to fees and slippage, but not too far off either. They're not designed for intermediate/long term. Even for short term trades, you should only swing trade them when the VIX is high like last year.
