Reminder. If the maintenance crew keep to their times we will likely be down in the next 30-90 minutes.

On a personal side, I'm taking this as a signal to buy when my funds finally clear in this month

It seems my server's RAID controller is acting up, so it's time to do a swap. Should take about an hour and will happen somewhere between 8am and 11am this Friday. Expecting it to take about an hour.

eBikes / A guy I know calls his bike Deathbike
« on: June 06, 2013, 08:58:07 am »
This is a guy on the e-bike forum. He works for zero motorcycles, and at one point decided to use an electric motorcycle motor on a bicycle. Then he upped the amps a fair amount. Love the warning just before he goes "And you know the bike is dangerous"...:

Well since I'm buying in a few weeks I wouldn't mind a short term dip. I have to keep reminding myself not to be concerned about day to day numbers. I'm not planning on withdrawing anything until my 6 year old finishes school

US non-farm figures: Prior 113k, consensus 171k, actual 135k. Positive news but still another red day for the JSE, Asia and the US this far. It hasn't been an investor friendly start to the week...

« on: June 03, 2013, 04:28:27 pm »Thank you for this, was going to be my next request.
Now, since you love data so much, but this is what happens when you flaunt your skills so basically you own fault.

Ok, we're back for now. I had to get most of the data from reuters, with a few shares from bloomberg. hopefully they don't mind too much. I'll switch back to the JSE when it eventually comes back online.

Well after working all of Sunday I woke up to the nice surprise that the feed is down again. I'll give it a while, but if there's still nothing running by tomorrow I'll have to look at another source of data.

You'd lose out. For next year I'll probably have to look into closing the purchases outside of trading hours.
