CHAPEL HILL — The UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees is offering a $25,000 reward through the Chapel Hill-Carrboro-UNC Crime Stoppers program for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for the death of student Faith Danielle Hedgepeth.
The Chapel Hill Police Department has said the case is a homicide. They ask anyone with information to call the departments tip line at 919-614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at 919 942-7515. Calls to Crime Stoppers are confidential.
The Haliwa-Saponi Tribe, of which Hedgepeth was a member, and Hawthorne at the View Apartments, where she lived, have also pledged $1,000 each to the Crime Stoppers reward fund.
Members of the tribe had expressed concern about the size of the $2,000 reward for information offered by police. They wondered in gatherings why it was not higher.
Cynthia Silver, wife of the pastor at Hedgepeth's church, was one of many who questioned it. "Evil people will turn on evil people when money is involved," she said. "It should be higher."
A cousin of Hedgepeth's collected more than $1,000 in small bills at a vigil late Sunday on the tribal grounds, noting that it would be offered to the family to increase the reward or, if necessary, for funeral expenses.
Anyone may contribute to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro-UNC Crime Stoppers program, a nonprofit organization. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to Crime Stoppers, P.O. Box 1076, Carrboro, NC 27510. Donors may request that the contribution be used in the Hedgepeth case.
On Tuesday, police said a judge had ordered 911 recordings sealed in the case.
Sgt. Joshua Mecimore, a police spokesman, said the recordings and search warrants related to the homicide investigation have been sealed indefinitely to protect evidence. Police also have not released a cause of death pending a Chapel Hill medical examiners report, Mecimore said.
Its for accuracy and, right now, for investigative reasons, he said. There are details related to the incident that only someone involved or investigators may know.
Friends found Hedgepeth, 19, dead Friday in her apartment at Hawthorne at the View on Old Chapel Hill Road. A junior, Hedgepeth was a biology major from Warrenton.
Hundreds of students, family and friends met Monday night at the Pit, the brick courtyard at UNC-CH where students often gather, to remember Hedgepeth. Many asked how someone could have killed the young woman, who planned to be a pediatrician or teacher in her small tribe of 4,000 members, most of whom live about 90 minutes northeast of Raleigh.
Another memorial service will be held for Hedgepeth at 6 p.m. Friday, spearheaded by the Warren County High School Class of 2010 in the school's gymnasium.

Mists of Pandaria – Three Weeks In
On September 25th, something very interesting happened. Mists of Pandaria was released to a horde of fans who were eager to have something different, and hopefully better than what Cataclysm had been. They were chomping at the bit, desperate for something more than running a raid for the past 9 months.
Blizzard Entertainment did an extrordinary thing. They delivered, and then some.
Most people I had spoken to were completely done with Cataclysm. Dragon Soul had been out for about 9 months, they had cleared everything and had all of the mounts and achievements they could get or wanted to get. All of their professions were maxed, they had all the reputations they needed, or whatever their case may have been.
Personally, I wasn't playing as much as I had before. I would log on a few nights a week to do a couple randoms, maybe a Raid Finder group (if it didn't blow up). Leveling alts only stays exciting for so long. Not having time to raid took out the only regular thing I had ever relied on in previous expansions. The only thing I was doing was leveling my Alliance Mage on my friends' server.
When Mists launched, all of a sudden I had so much stuff to do again. True to what I had been expecting, the very first thing I did was do some pet battles. I had only done a little bit of them in beta, and they were just as much fun as I remembered. Memories of playing Pokemon in junior high school came back in a very big way.
For the first time since Burning Crusade, my wife and I decided to level our mains together. I play a Feral Druid and she plays an Enhancement Shaman, so we were able to power through most mobs without much problem (except for some of the rares that we stumbled across). We hit 90 this past weekend, and really enjoyed all of the zones that we quested through.
Overall, the quest design of this expansion is absolutely amazing. There were quests where we laughed – mainly the Hozen quests, especially Riko expressing his undying (see what I did there?) love for Kiryn – some quests that were quite touching, but the most important thing is that pretty much all of them were a lot of fun.
There is one thing that I keep coming back to, something that I find myself saying all the time, which is how absolutely beautiful the new content is. It's hard to believe that the engine running this is over 8 years old, yet we're still given these amazing views. Everything from the grand temples and structures, down to the small little tumbleweeds that blow around Kun-Lai Summit. The environment is gorgeous and incredibly immersive.
At the moment, I have yet to find something about this expansion that I don't like. The closest thing that I could label as a complaint is that there's just too much to do. Once I hit level 90, I have at least four different factions that I want to raise my reptutation with immediately, and being the completionist that I am, I want to eventually get them all up to exalted.
I still have yet to fully do many dungeons or scenarios – the only ones I've done is one run of the new heroic Scholomance, and one instance of the Arena of Annihilation.
All I know is that I'm more excited about this expansion than I have been for any other, possibly having Burning Crusade for the exception (only because at the time, it was the first expansion). One last note: a few friends of mine were extremely critical of the Mists of Pandaria announcement after BlizzCon. They were complaining about how much it looked like a very weak expansion without much content. Now, after talking with them after the release, they have completely changed their stances and are quite happy with the result.
Bring it on!
Does Guild Size Matter?
Guilds have always been a key factor to World of Warcraft and most MMOs. When Cataclysm launched and the guild system was reworked, they became even more integral to the gameplay. While not required to do anything, they make life a whole lot easier with the perks that they provide.
I had mentioned before that I created a new character on a different server to try and get a new play experience. Since then, I have successfully joined the guild Alea Iacta Est (AIE) on the Earthen Ring server. This guild might ring a bell for some people as being one of the biggest in all of WoW. As far as I'm aware, there are over 7000 players spread out across a number of "co-guilds", since there is a cap on how many characters can be in an guild. At one point, everyone was all in one guild, but the guild panel would stop showing people past a certain number.
My Death Knight that I was leveling just recently hit level 84, and is now a member of AIE Libertas. This is just a slight change from where my Druid is, back on the Thrall server. Band of Thorns is a very small guild, and might have about 10-15 people on at most at any point in time – usually during raids. Both guilds are level 25 and have all perks available.
So, does the size of the guild matter? It certainly does… to an extent.
One of the first things I noticed was just the fact that there's always somebody on. Even if not in the specific co-guild that I'm in, but through one of the addons that makes guild chat go between all guilds, someone will be there. Even so, even in my co-guild I have yet to be on at a time where there's less than 10 people on.
Along with that, with more people comes more help that can be available. Something simple as having some lockboxes to open, I asked in guild chat and I had five people who were willing to help out. I would normally have to wait for a while for a rogue to appear to help out, but now I have a number of people ready right away.
Raiding is a very different situation. There are a great number of raid teams in AIE, and a new team can easily be formed by starting a signup for a regular time. Rather than just having one chance to make the raids per week, I'll now have many teams to choose from or be able to start a new one if needed.
The only downside that I have had so far is the fact that the guild is so big. I want to get to know people, but with so many people out there it's hard to find the same people to talk to time after time. I know everyone in Band of Thorns, so far in AIE I don't know anyone. At the same time, I've only been in the guild for about two weeks so far, so there's definitely time to make it work.
There are plenty more options available in AIE than I currently have in Band of Thorns. More than once, I've thought about transferring my Druid over to Earthen Ring and joining in with him as well. The problem that I have is that I've been with Band of Thorns (in one way or another) since the game's launch, and have never not been in the guild. There are people who I've known through the guild since the very beginning, and it's very hard to let go. I wouldn't sever all ties, but at the same time I want to keep my main character active.
Lots of things to consider. All I know is that I've been playing my DK a lot more than my Druid, for the main reason that I have stuff to do again, and I'm enjoying the people I play with.
Excrement Excavations and YOU! (or, worst quests in WoW)
This is part of a Blog Azeroth Shared Topic – check out other articles about this topic from great authors around the WoW blogging community!
One of the very first things that anyone will do when they log into World of Warcraft on a new character will do is accept a quest. There's a big shiny yellow exclamation point above a nearby NPC that draws you in and compels you to right-click them. Then, for whatever reason, if you kill enough pigs you'll get a reward! How awesome is that?
More often than not, it's very awesome. Even moreso since the Cataclysm old world redesign, WoW's quest design has been amazing. Not too long ago, I did an article about some of my favourite quests in the game. This time we're going the opposite way, to some examples of the worst quests that are out there today. Not surprisingly, they mostly come from Outland and Northrend – but this is partly because I haven't done all of the new content yet.
RNG – the bane of all existence
The infamous random number generator (RNG) can be one of the best or worst things in the game. It is blamed for drops from mobs and bosses, block/parry/dodge/hit/miss chance, spawn rates, and quest item drops. There is a reason why the RNG is hated so much, and it's because of the simple fact that it's so very random.
Any quest that does not have a 100% chance to drop your item has the possibility to require you to spend an unhealthy amount of time trying to get what is required. Lately it seems that the drop rates for many quests have been improved, but there are many that are still very annoying. Good examples are in Zul'Drak, the quests to collect bat wings and spider ichor.
Isn't killing a BAD thing?
Falling in line with the RNG is the "kill mobs until something happens" style. Apparently the leaders or commanders of certain groups of mobs only appear after a certain amount of people die. It makes me very glad that I don't serve under them.
Three examples that came to mind immediately are all from Northrend. In Howling Fjord, you have to kill a number of Vrykul until the commanders show up for you to impale with a battle standard. In Zul'Drak, shortly after going to Zim'torga, many trolls need to die in order for certain mobs to show up and take their shinies. I just did this quest again yesterday, and it took way more time than it should have.
Excrement Excavations
This post could not happen without some mention of the poop quests. First appearing in Burning Crusade, there has been some sort of quest like this in random places since. To this day, my wife won't do the Hellfire Peninsula one.
The above-noted quest is called Shizz Work, and is given by a goblin foreman near Thrallmar. Part of a quest chain and open to both factions, it involves using a flute to summon a felhunter and digging through its "leavings" to find some keys. After digging through each pile, you get a debuff called "Stanky" that doesn't do anything but give you a green smelly aura.
Good idea, but enough already!
Once Blizzard finds a quest mechanic that they like, they tend to stick with it. Sometimes a bit too much, at times. There are quests where it's a fun mechanic, such as taking an abomination and blowing things up with it, but the amount of things required to blow up is a bit much.
A good example of this is the a quest in Zul'Drak for Drakuru to require a total of 60 trolls to be killed to draw out the three chieftains. I really enjoy things exploding, but it could have easily be done in half the amount of trolls and have the chieftains come with every 10 instead of every 20.
In closing…
Thankfully there is a good variety of types of quests in the game. Blizzard has done a great job, especially in the new Azeroth, of mixing things up. I hope that eventually we'll see a revamp of Outland and Northrend, and with that we can see some of the new mechanics introduced to these areas.
4.3 Instances of Awesome (I hope)
Looking around the WoW news community this morning gave me quite a bit of happiness. 4.3 looks like it's going to be incredibly awesome – and even though the word is used entirely too much these days, the word we're looking for is epic.
On top of the other features of the patch (transmogrification, void storage, raid finder tool, Darkmoon Faire revamp, among other things) we get the best part: the Deathwing raid and 5-man dungeons. Interviews were given from Tom Chilton and Greg Street (aka Ghostcrawler) across a few websites, and a bunch of information was given.
Basically, there will be three 5-man dungeons giving the story leading up to the Deathwing raid, all involving the Caverns of Time:
- The first one ("End Time") will be a dystopian future where Deathwing won and the world has been destroyed and remade the way he likes – all in ruins. The idea behind this is convince Nozdormu that he needs to get involved and help, or else there won't be much of anything to watch over.
- The second one ("Well of Eternity") will be during the War of the Ancients, where Deathwing first betrayed the aspects and created the Dragon/Demon Soul. It looks like we join Thrall to get the Demon Soul to use as a weapon against Deathwing in the present. Basically using the power to overload the essence within him, causing the big black dragon to burst from within.
- The third one ("Hour of Twilight") will be a flight to Wyrmrest Temple to begin the fight against Deathwing, raid-style. Along the way there will be battles against many foes trying to steal back the Demon Soul and prevent you from attacking the big bad guy, likely lots of Twilight people.
The final battle against Deathwing ("Dragon Soul") is in an instanced version of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight (hopefully including the changes that happened in the Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects novel), with fights around and in the temple itself. At one point we get to be on Deathwing's back, trying to pry off his armour plating to get to his fleshy bits underneath. Apparently there will be a "balance" mechanic, as Deathwing isn't just going to be flying in a straight line – the raid will be a bunch of fleas on his back that he wants to shake off (do a barrel roll!).
Eventually, Deathwing ends up at the Maelstrom where he becomes a bit of a conglomeration between himself and an Old God minion. The phrase used in the interview with Ghostcrawler says that they call him "Cthulhu-Deathwing", tentacles included. All in all, this raid looks like it will be living up to my expectations and more.
Also included with this will be a new legendary, a set of two daggers for rogues specifically. This quest line will involve the uncorrupted black dragon egg that was the subject of a really good questline in the Badlands. At the end of it, there's nothing said about the future or fate of the new whelp, but it looks like we'll find out shortly.
For more reading, check out interviews at Joystiq, MMO-Champion, and Tankspot. The official World of Warcraft community site also has a bunch of information.
Screenshot of the Week – August 6
My hunter just finished leveling through Nagrand again, and I can never get enough of the zone. It truly is absolutely beautiful – I could have a post full of the many different areas of it. Not only that, but after reading Rise of the Horde by Christie Golden, I can appreciate the history of Orcs that is throughout the zone.
Memorable Quests
The Cataclysm wrought huge changes to the face of Azeroth, as well as what the inhabitants are doing. For the first time in six years, the story progressed forward and we see new things that are happening across the whole world. Mankrik isn't just wallowing in Crossroads anymore, he's plotting his revenge at the Grol'dom Farm (and other places later on). Along with him, there's plenty of new things to experience.
Right now I'm leveling up a new hunter, and have just recently gone through part of Badlands and got to experience one of the best quests in the game so far. It made me think of some of the best quests and quest lines through the game so far, and why I've enjoyed them.
This is a quest at the border of Silverpine Forest and Hillsbrad Foothills, where you get to do something never thought of before: become a quest giver. Rather than just moving through the quest hubs, collecting the quests and moving on, you get to see the story from the other side.
Three characters come by, and you get to see the different stereotypes of questers that are out there. It also sets the stage for part of the zone, as you get to meet up with two of the characters later on, who play a major part of questing areas.
I enjoyed this quest as it's almost breaking the fourth wall, and gives the character an idea of what it's like to sit around all day and hand out quests. Very entertaining, and makes you think a bit.
If you've ever seen the TV show "How I Met Your Mother", this is similar to it. In the show the main character is telling his kids a long story about how he eventually met their mother, and at times he tries to censor himself or what they were doing, so the story is embellished or changed. For example, in college they loved "sandwiches", and not something else which isn't completely legal.
This quest line is made up of three quests from three NPCs sitting around in the Badlands and saying what "happened" the day that Deathwing came through and messed things up. You get to live out each of the stories, ranging from punching Deathwing in the face to having a flying motorcycle.
Once again, it's just very entertaining and funny seeing Blizzard's imagination at work. I can totally see three people hanging out saying how things happened, and that it was THEIR version that was the truth.
Looney Tunes meets World of Warcraft. Elmer Fudd has been reincarnated in the NPC Kala'ma in Northern Barrens, just north of Ratchet. He is upset that the "waptors" have stolen all his stuff, and wants you to "twap" them. All of his dialogue is along this style of Elmer Fudd or the priest from The Princess Bride.
Blizzard puts thought into even these small quests, as the action that you take is "twapping waptor". It's things like this that show the amount work that goes into quest design, and I sure appreciate it.
These are but three quests out of many thousand that are in the game, and were just off the top of my head. There are many memorable ones out there, but these were ones that I thought were fun and entertaining. Feel free to add your favourite quests in the comments.
Protagonist Development
I don't envy Blizzard's creative development department. Not one bit. I do, however, have a huge amount of respect for Chris Metzen and his crew of awesomeness, as they have an extremely hard job – keeping things straight, and making the lore of the game make sense.
To begin with, creating anything new and original is really difficult. While the human/elf/dwarf/etc universe was not created by Blizzard, they took something that people could recognize and put their own spin on it. A few examples of their original thinking: dragons being the protectors of the world and having dominion over a certain part of it; the Emerald Dream concept, having a complete copy of the unadultered world exist in dream form; the Titans, Sargeras, and the Burning Legion.
Along with this is taking the characters that are created and making them believable. Nobody likes the perfect character who has absolutely no faults (/cough Rhonin and his raptor army), because there's not a human in real life who is perfect. Take any good novel or movie and see the characters that people relate to the most, and look at who wrote their stories. It's those people who you want to thank.
When a protagonist is established, it must be incredibly hard to balance the good and bad. They may have some great things about them, but there can't be any downsides – once again, that are believable. Something simple such as being clumsy isn't a character flaw, it's a fact of life. Not trusting anyone because you were sold into slavery as a child is a character flaw, as it's a huge obstacle that that person must overcome.
There will be spoilers for the Elemental Bonds questline of 4.2 following.
There are a number of major characters in World of Warcraft, built up over the years by the games or novels. Currently in Cataclysm, and particularly in a certain quest line in 4.2, Thrall is undoubtedly at the middle of everything. The leader of the Earthen Ring and the most powerful Shaman on Azeroth is a big thing to balance out as a believable character.
The quest line that I mentioned starts just outside of Nordrassil (after breadcrumbs from either capital) with a convocation of the four remaining Dragon Aspects, the Archdruids, and the leaders of the Earthen Ring (including Thrall and Aggra). Mending the World Tree in Hyjal was the plan, but unfortunately a certain fallen Archdruid had other plans from his "master". Fandral explains that his master has sensed that Thrall is the single biggest threat to his master's plans, and he needs to be taken care of.
Rather than simply killing Thrall, Fandral splits the shaman's spirit into the four elements and sends them to the four elemental planes of the Skywall, Abyssal Maw, Deepholm, and Firelands. The Aspects seem unable to help him, so Aggra decides to take matters into her own hands and task the player to go with her and help restore him to one piece.
This is when we see the different sides of Thrall, and the emotions that he has been trying to keep together for years. Doubt, desire, patience, and fury are all expressed during the different parts. There have been times where he has shown certain parts of this through the game, but never have they been out of control. The elemental planes have enhanced these senses, so you and Aggra have to restore him to as close to normal as possible.
There have been some good conversations on Twitter that I've seen, mainly between WoW Insider staffers, arguing about what this quest line does. Does it establish Thrall as more of a fleshed out character, or does it make Aggra a major character with Thrall as the sidekick?
Personally, my thought is that it's a bit of both. Thrall is given more depth as a character, but the problem that I see is the fact that he's being set up as an uber-character, and very close to the Mary Sue problem of Rhonin. He's going through this whole ordeal to basically "cure" his major character flaws – the fact that he has had the problem of controlling his emotions. After this, what else is there to make him realistic?
I have really enjoyed the progression of Aggra's character. She was annoying at first in The Shattering novel by Christie Golden, but by the end of the book I had grown to like her. After having a small role in the Lost Isles part of the Goblin starting experience, we don't see her again until she ferries the character into Deepholm. This quest line makes her much more believable and has more of a personality, especially during the Deepholm parts where she gets mad at Thrall for being so stubborn.
Nothing will be perfectly written. In all of the stories written, people can nitpick parts of a character for parts that they don't like. However, getting as realistic as possible is the ideal dream of an author. With these characters being in a persistent world that is constantly being written, there's more of a chance for them to have more development in the future.
My concluding thoughts is that the characters are written well, but I believe that Aggra shines more than Thrall in this part. I really like both characters, and having most of my history being a Horde player I've had a man-crush on Thrall at times for being awesome. It will be interesting to see how Mr. Metzen and the creative development team takes the story forward.
Out of the Frying Pan (Patch 4.2)
It's not just any Tuesday today. Maestro, please begin the ominous music.
Today is when patch 4.2 hits North American/Oceanic realms for World of Warcraft. It's been just over six months since Cataclysm was released, and our first major content patch with new and exciting things to do. We technically have had a content patch already, but redoing two existing instances takes a lot less work than a whole new raid and daily quest hub.
To say that there are a lot of changes is quite the understatement. I will be referencing links from WoW Insider throughout, and the best place to get a run down of the major changes is their guide to patch 4.2.
The major points of the patch are the inclusion of the Firelands raid and the Molten Front daily quest hub. Ultimately defeating Ragnaros once and for all, the raid also includes the chance to get a new DPS caster legendary staff. Similar to the Isle of Quel'Danas, the Molten Front area is a daily quest area that advances along with personal progression (I touched on this on a previous article).
For the first time with a patch, we actually have explanations for the class balance changes that came along with it. Ghostcrawler took every single change and said why they made them in point form. Rather than just saying "here you go, deal with it", we at least have an idea of the philosophy the developers use when making their decisions. There are a great number of changes, best to take a look at which ones apply to your own class(es).
Another great change is the Dungeon Journal, which includes a version of AtlasLoot. Once again we see Blizzard taking addons that they like and feel should be part of the default UI and incorporating them. The Journal has information all the fights of Cataclysm content (will be expanded for the rest of the game eventually, I'm sure), along with abilities that the bosses use and gear that can drop. Currently there is the gear information on the Battle.net website, but this is a great way so people don't have to use a third-party addon or alt-tab to find out what drops from a certain boss.
Lastly, one of my favourite things about 4.2 is the inclusion of a great cosmetic change. Since I'm back to being feral DPS, I can be a flaming kitty! I believe that it only requires the person to have the staff that drops from Fandral, and whenever you're in cat form you become a cat… on fire. Dragonwrath turns the caster into a dragon with a proc, but it looks like this is a passive cosmetic change.
I hope that this opens the door for more cosmetic changes down the road, as we really need them – especially for druids. We have great gear, but in combat we're in the shapeshift forms and are unable to see the great looks. The community has been asking for changes such as this for years, so hopefully we'll see more down the road.
New content is awesome. I know I've been getting impatient, as this six month period since Cataclysm released seems to have gone by very slowly. Hopefully I'll be able to raid the new place, for the main reason of becoming a flaming kitty. Otherwise, at least I'll have the new daily quest area to keep me busy for a while.
Moving On Up
I have mentioned before that I was working on a goblin priest for an alt, something I've wanted to do for a while. That priest is finally level 85, and heroic ready… but the process was a little bit different from the expected.
Originally, my thought was to try to level through the dungeon finder to work on healing skills as I had never healed on a priest before. It worked out well for quite a while until level 41, when I got too frustrated at other people and then decided to just take the plunge and quest with a shadow spec. This ended up being a good plan, as I now have the basics of both specs down.
The thing that was scaring me was the idea of healing Cataclysm instances. On my druid, I have done all of them multiple times (excepting the new Zandalari ones), so it wasn't that I didn't know the fights. I had the simple fear of failing at something that I set out to accomplish. Many times I've been in a group where there's been one member that was doing a very bad job at their role and I was afraid that one day I'd turn into them.
Once my item level was high enough – unfortunately heirlooms make this a bit difficult, as they're an item level 1 – I decided to give it a try. From when I first made my priest, I decided to use discipline as my healing spec since it looked like fun, and so far it has been. Having the multiple methods of damage prevention and utilities make it so I have more tricks up my sleeve, and hopefully will make the run go smoother.
All in all the regular instances went fairly well. It didn't stop me from being nervous through all of the runs, but at least we were able to make it through them. The hurdle now is the transition into healing heroics.
I've done a number of heroic runs with my shadow spec, getting drops and justice points to improve my gear before I try to heal them. As of last night, I am at the point where I think my gear is ready to go into a heroic. There are a few fights that I'm worried about that have high levels of damage, and whether I'd be able to cope with the stress.
Unfortunately, I have a bad habit of forgetting to use cooldowns at times. The biggest problems are two of the best cooldowns a discipline priest has: power infusion and pain suppression. Huge increase in healing throughput and huge damage reduction, and I forget to use them? I have to set up some power auras to help me remember, the same I did for my boomkin stuff.
My priest has yet to heal a heroic, but I think I'm ready for it. If not, that's why there's the option for a dual spec.

Thread: Day Trading
Day Trading
Does anybody here have any knowledge or experience with day trading? I've decided thats something I'd like to get into after college, so I'm just looking for more information at the moment.
From what I've learned so far, its possible to trade on 4:1 margin without paying margin interest as long as you meet the guidelines of being a pattern day trader, and you sell all your positions by the end of the day. The algorithm I've devised so far, consists of starting with an initial investment of $30k, and then putting it all into one stock/option/etc. Each day, you pick a stock that looks to be on the rise, and putting your whole balance into it. If it goes up, you keep it for a few hours or until the end of the day, but if it starts going down you sell if before it can drop any more than half a percent or so. Then the next day, you just repeat the process.
Because you are trading on 4:1 margin, you would actually be starting out by trading $120k, so your gains/losses are four times as large. Because you are repeatedly trading in such a large volume, you are really only looking for small gains. As long as you sell any stock that is going south fairly quickly, and sell everything by the end of the day to avoid paying margin interest, you can get fairly significant growth, even by only making one trade per day.
I wrote a C++ program based on this algorithm that calculates projected earnings over a period of time based on random stock movements. Here's how it works:
1. You enter an initial capital.
2. The program randomly generates a true/false boolean. If it is true, the stock ended up increasing for the day, if it is false, the stock decreased.
3. The program calculates a random movement percentage for the position. If it is decreasing, the movement is between -0.01% and -0.5% (to simulate selling the stock if it is decreasing too much), and if it is increasing, it is between 0.01 and 1.25% percent (a typical amount for an average stock on a decent day. So each trade will randomly move within those boundaries.
4. The program then calculates the growth/loss for the day and adds/subtracts it from the initial value to get an updated total balance.
5. This is all repeated for 3 years (720 trades) and the results are displayed.
(if anyone is interested in the source code, just ask)
The way this algorithm is implemented, it simulates that the user is just picking one stock at random each day, putting the entire balance into it, and letting it go for the day, while selling it if it starts dropping a significant amount. There really is no skill involved, and it is fairly safe. The only way a significant amount of money can be lost is if you pick a bunch of extremely bad stocks all in a row (which is statistically not probable, even if you are picking blindly), or if your stock tanks upwards of 10% within a few minutes (which is also extremely improbable).
This method only has 1 requirement, which is that you must have ~$30k to begin, to offset any initial losses and broker fees, and to maintain a balance of over $25k which is mandatory for 4:1 margin day trading.
Because of the mathematics behind exponential growth and simple probability, this method can generate enormous profits, averaging around 100% growth every 4 months, and of course, the more you earn, the faster it grows. I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with pattern day trading, and if there are any additional rules or restrictions that would interfere with this strategy.
Enter the intial capital: 30000 After 4 months: $47484.34 After 8 months: $88931.13 After 12 months: $158319.64 After 16 months: $290541.71 After 20 months: $450844.36 After 24 months: $803537.80 After 28 months: $1544650.17 After 32 months: $2480710.21 After 36 months: $4617863.28 Timescale is based on 240 trades per year. Trades over 25k were on 4:1 margin with a 20 dollar broker fee per trade. Each trade had a 50/50 chance of increasing or decreasing if increasing, each trade performed randomly between 0.01% and 1.25% if decreasing, each trade performed randomly bewteen -0.50% and -0.01%
Re: Day Trading
Wow, you are like Rainman with social skills.
I don't know a lot about trading, but it seems risky to invest all your money into one stock.
I know you said that if the points started to drop even a little that you would just sell, but what if you can't sell any or all of the shares that you bought?
You seem to have quite a bit of knowledge about the situation and have clearly put a lot of thought into your strategy.
Good luck if you do decide to go for it.
If it works for ya, I'd like to get in on your systemRock out with your cock out!!!

I like to do all my trading at night on the sly. Plus there's less chance of being spotted by the cops when it's dark.

What: No. 5 Erie Otters at No. 4 Windsor Spitfires
When: Tuesday, 7:05 p.m.
Where: WFCU Centre – Windsor, Ontario
On the air: WFNN-AM/1330, www.ottershockey.com (live stream)
Fast facts
Erie – The Otters have rallied from a 3-1 series deficit by beating the Spitfires, the two-time defending OHL and Memorial Cup champions, in overtime the past two games. … They tied the series at three games apiece with a 6-5 overtime win in Game 6 Sunday. That was the Otters' first home playoff win in OT since May 10, 2002, when Sean Courtney scored to seal the franchise's only OHL championship. … The Otters have won two straight playoff games for the first time since the first round in 2005 against Kitchener. … The Otters have won two of three games in Windsor, both by one goal (2-1 in Game 1 and 6-5 in OT in Game 5). … The Otters' three wins in this series equals the combined total since their last series victory in 2004 (first round vs. Sarnia). … The franchise is 0-5 in series when trailing 3-1 in games. The Otters have rallied to force Game 7 twice but lost both times (first round vs. London in 1998, second round vs. Sault Ste. Marie in 2000). … The Otters have tied their playoff record with three overtime games in one series (first round vs. Kitchener in 2005). … RW Anthony Luciani (7-3-10) was named OHL player of the week after totaling six goals and nine points last week. … Luciani and C Phil Varone (3-10-13) combined for eight goals and 17 points in the past two games. … Linemate Brett Thompson scored the OT winner on Sunday, his first career playoff goal. … G Ramis Sadikov (3-2-1 record, 4.07 goals-against average, .907 save percentage) has made 50 and 48 saves, respectively, in the past two games – the second and the third-best single-game totals in his career. He made 51 in a first-round loss to the Spitfires last season. … F Andrew Yogan (sick) isn't expected to play tonight after missing the past three games. "I told him the other day that we're probably going to go with what we've got," coach Robbie Ftorek said Sunday. "He's fine, but he doesn't have the hands and the timing that the other players have because he only played nine games (in the regular season because of shoulder surgery)."
Windsor – The Spitfires have squandered consecutive opportunities to win the series, including squandering 3-0 and 4-3 leads on Sunday. … According to The Windsor Star, the Spitfires have never lost a series when leading 3-1 in games (9-0). This is the third time a series has reached a seventh game (1991 vs. London, 2000 vs. Sarnia). … G Jack Campbell (3-1-2, 3.42, .903) has allowed 16 goals on his last 124 shots after stopping 105-of-112 shots in the first three games. … The Spitfires have recorded 40 or more shots on goal in all six games, including more than 50 in the past two games. … D Adrian Robertson (2-7-9) leads the team in scoring and is tied for second in scoring by defenseman in the playoffs. … RW Jake Carrick (4-4-8), C Stephen Johnston (4-4-8) and LW Tom Kuhnhackl (3-5-8) also rank among team leaders in scoring.
Up next: TBD

A junior from Tolland, Conn., Ponce has been named the CGA National Men's Gymnast of the Week (Collegiate Division), as well as the ECAC Gymnast of the Week.
Ponce has also just been ranked #1 in the nation among all gymnasts in the still rings -- with a 15.633 average. His ranking is purely based on an individual's top three scores.
"As far as his ranking is concerned, we're very excited for Ryan and for our program," said Springfield College men's gymnastics coach Steve Posner. "This is not an insignificant ranking by any means since we are so well along in the season. We'll be preparing him the best way we know how so that he'll be ready for when it counts the most a bit later on."
In a dual meet that took place last Saturday (Feb. 23), Ponce posted a score of 15.75 on rings, placing him second to Trevor Howard of Penn State as SC placed second as a team to the defending national champion Nittany Lions.
A sports biology major at Springfield College, Ponce is the defending USAG and EIGL national champion in the still rings.
This Sunday (Mar. 3), the Pride will host William & Mary men's gymnastics at 1 pm.

News Summary: 'Fiscal cliff' would hit most in US
(AP) - WHAT IS THE `FISCAL CLIFF': A package of tax increases and spending cuts that takes effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then.
WHO IS AFFECTED: Everyone who pays income tax- and some who don't _will feel it. Middle-income families would have to pay an average of about $2,000 more next year, the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has calculated.
HIT TO GROWTH: Up to 3.4 million jobs would be lost, the Congressional Budget Office estimates. The unemployment rate would rise to 9.1 percent. The economy would likely fall into recession next year, the CBO says.

Volleyball falls to Northern Kentucky, 3-1
Related Links
A 21-kill effort by Shelby Buschur helped Northern Kentucky defeat the JU volleyball team, 3-1 (16-25, 21-25, 25-23, 23-25), Saturday afternoon in A-Sun action at Regents Hall.
The Norse (14-2, 2-1 A-Sun) hit better than .300 in the final three sets to continue their hot start in their first Division I season. The Dolphins (2-13, 0-2) had a respectable .252 hitting percentage, but were limited by 23 attack errors and 11 service errors.
"We beat ourselves today," JU head coach Michelle Collier said. "We played well in the final two sets, but it was too big of a hole to come back from. If we can find a way to start better then we can get on a roll."
Haley Lippert added 13 kills for the Norse, while Kylee Tarantino (15), Anna Pickel (13) and Jayden Juilan (10) each recorded double-digit digs.
JU were led offensively in kills by freshmen Gabriela Roman (17) and freshman Sammie Strausbaugh (13). Junior Kendall Courtney had 44 assists and 14 digs, while senior Nicole Teplitz finished with 19 digs.
After falling in the first set, the Dolphins tied the second set at 7-all early on a Teplitz kill. The Norse pulled away with a 9-5 stretch, capped on an ace, to take a 16-12 lead. Following a timeout, Strausbaugh cut the deficit to 17-15 on a kill. The Dolphins closed the gap to 21-19, but two straight Buschur kills helped give the set win to the Norse.
In the third set, the Norse took a 12-9 lead on consecutive JU errors. The Dolphins battled back and took a 15-14 lead from a Roman ace. The teams tied four more times until the Dolphins broke free with a 20-18 advantage on two Norse errors. A service error gave JU a 23-21 lead, but Northern Kentucky got kills from Lippert and Kelly Morrissey to tie it. Strausbaugh answered with consecutive kills to give JU the set.
In the fourth set, two Roman Kills and a bad set helped the Dolphins take a 13-12 edge. After a Norse timeout, Buschur had three key kills to help her squad build an 18-15 advantage. JU benefitted from two errors and kills from junior Alyssa Robertson and Jacob for a 19-18 lead. Following another Norse timeout, the teams tied three times before a Strausbaugh ace gave the Dolphins a 23-21 lead. The Norse stole the final four points with the help of two JU errors to secure the win.
The Dolphins finally end their season-opening, 16-match road trip Tuesday at Stetson in DeLand, Fla. First serve is set for 7 p.m.

The streets of Santa Barbara are lined with classic Spanish architecture steeped in rich California history. The Retreat is a finely polished jewel shining brightly in the heart of the historic downtown landscape.
During the year-long restoration process of this 1930's home, every surface, fixture, window and door was meticulously restored to maintain the authentic character, fitting of this landmark property. No detail has been overlooked. Colorful authentic Mexican tiles, custom painted surfaces, vintage photographic art, restored brass hardware, original windows, and luxury appointments fill each and every space. With a designer's eye for unique patterns and textures, the whimsical furnishings with Moroccan undertones add playful charm and unique sophistication.
Location! Location! Location! Guests will step out the front door of The Retreat and find themselves in the midst of great shopping, casual local eateries, fine dining and more. The Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February kicks off a year-long calendar packed with cultural festivals, seasonal parades and a variety of celebrations. Three of the town's historic theaters are just down the street (The Granada, The Arlington and The Lobero). Each venue offers its own style of live entertainment; from Broadway shows to world-class concerts.
With this ideal location, enjoy long leisurely walks through the diverse neighborhoods with eclectic architecture and lush parks for all ages to experience something different. Stop along the way to appreciate the varying mountain and ocean views from sunrise to sunset.
Once inside, the savvy traveler can expect fine linens, professional style appliances, fine craftsmanship, and all the creature comforts, making this the ideal choice for two couples or families traveling with grandparents. As an alternative to staying at local luxury hotels, this home offers great value with first class accommodations.
The Living Room with fireplace is a cozy place to relax and unwind from a busy work week, or full day of shopping. The unique feature of this room is not only the stylish appointments, but also the flat screen TV that disappears into a unique trunk-like cabinet when not in use.
The Kitchen is a well stocked galley style masterpiece with every amenity a gourmet chef desires. Full-size under counter front loading washer and dryer complete the smart choices.
Between the Kitchen and Living Room is the Formal Dining Room where conversation is effortless around the wide round table fitted with 6 upholstered chairs.
Upstairs, the main Master Bedroom with luxurious pillow top king-size bed faces French doors that open to the enclosed rooftop deck. With a glass of local wine in hand, relax on the outdoor sectional sofa or soak in the full size spa and watch spectacular sunsets over the red tiled roofs of the City. The second Master Bedroom upstairs with memory foam king-size bed is restful and bright with corner windows and mountain views.
With a sense of humor and a respect for keeping the original 1930's tile work intact, the upstairs bathroom with a bathtub shower combination is dressed in vibrant vintage purple tiles.
The downstairs 3rd Bedroom offers 2 twin beds and a flat screen TV. There is a convenient Powder Room just outside this room in the hall.
Because this home is one side of a duplex that also houses the Paradise Retreats business offices, guests can be assured that great care has been taken to provide an impeccably furnished and well stocked home that truly lives up to the Paradise Retreats World Class standards!
Depart from the ordinary to experience the extraordinary, at The Retreat - a prominent landmark in the Paradise Retreats collection of fine homes.

RALEIGH — A group of fourth-graders last week leaned over a lunch table at Brier Creek Elementary School, eagerly examining bags filled with materials of various colors in a search for what they had in common.
They held the bags up to the light and shook them to rattle the pieces inside.
"They're all scraps of something," said Reece Deaton, 9. He was right: The bags were filled with rubber from old tires, plastic from bottles and other recycled materials.
The students went on to identify each of the materials, just one of the activities during a presentation on reducing, reusing and recycling given by students of Panther Creek High School.
The fourth-graders also studied diagrams of a recycling plant, played recycling bingo and completed a relay race that required them to sort materials into recycling or trash bins.
Reece declared himself impressed by the high school students' presentation.
"It taught us so much about recycling and that we shouldn't throw recycling in the trash," he said.
For the fourth-graders, the presentation built on the weekly recycling collection that some of them participate in and other lessons about the environment.
For the Panther Creek group, the presentation was a chance to teach younger students about a subject they care about and practice developing a campaign. The students who participated are part of DECA, a business and marketing club at the high school.
"It feels really good that they're getting it," said Jacqueline Xue, 17. She and fellow seniors Madison Barnes, 17, and Anna Heinen, 18, organized the presentation, which they also shared with other groups of students in Wake County.
The three filmed a video to share with the students; coordinated with the schools, the city of Cary and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources; and came up with a slogan for their efforts, which they dubbed Project One: "One World. One Chance. Saving It One Mind At A Time."
The students said they wanted to share their presentation with elementary school-age children, so that they would develop good habits early.
The presentation won over Kayla August, 9, who helps with the school's weekly recycling collection.
"It was fun," she said. "We learned a lot."

Disk Quotta Exceeded!
So I went to post some new pics on PhotoHost so I can share the twin mounted Farmall A's that I have pics of and I get a message that says If I post this pic I will exceed my alloted space of X bits ( or what ever...) Some guys seem to have tons of pics out there. Can I request more space? Are people opening other accounts?
Just think, two Farmall A's mounted side-by-side......I would really love to share those pics.
What should I do?
