Ok: This is what you should do. Close out all your positions and I mean all. Then go to the cruise ship with peace of mind and not like a crack addict (trader) who's looking for his next fix (click of the mouse). Like I said before it was the worst cruise I ever had. Enjoy yourself don't make the same mistake I did. This is a business not a virtual casino. ozzy
For two weeks in JULY I was on a cruise ship in the Carib. and used the ships internet lounge to check on the portfolio every other day. Most good ships now have internet service or you can get wireless in the room (Royal Carribbean). Worst part was waitng for the @#$%ing teenagers to get off the computers....
That's why I don't think I would ever go during a school break... How was the connection speed? Could you get anything done?
Teenagers??? What kind of vacation was that? When my wife and I go away, the last thing we want to see is teenagers! I'd recommend the Windstar line. Much smaller ships (with sails) and NO kids. And high speed internet.
HYB's. I'm sorry if you thought my post was useless. I just thought i would keep my post in line with your initial thread.......stupid!
You should quit smoking dope, dude! Go take another long "cruise" on that surfing board of yours... After you're done with that, take your trailer home on a trip around Hicksville... Maybe that would keep you from posting crap on here...
HYB's. I'm not carrying on with this conversation. You obviously know a lot about crackheads and where they hang out. Why don't you ask them about trading on a cruise ship? Trading on cruise ships? That's a real 'dope' question. You know it is! BYE!
Damn, you are just like that "nugget" that's hard to flash down the toilet sometimes... Have you even seen a cruise ship? Let alone been on one... BYE!
The speed was fine although it did lag once in a while. The young teenagers (13- 16) would all run to the internet lounge before dinner and search the dumbest shit. Most of the time I never saw them (was near a bar frequently or in the casino if I was not in the pool or on a beach!). I was able to check the market and even place an order or two but not recommended for daytraders lol. I would check 10 minutes every other day when there was a lull in the activities. The only reason I bothered was because it was 2 weeks right after JULY expiration and I had opened AUG positions. But I was completely relaxed...
Expect decent data speed in bursts, but it is the 500ms pings that are going to kill you. It's a long way to outer space and back. Wireless data is expensive too. Expect to pay .50 per minute or so and that's if you buy a package of minutes upfront. Get flat before you leave and then enjoy your vacation. Just my .02 Traveler
