My HP laptop runs like crap and has since it was new. Thanks Carly Fiorina for turning venerable HP into cheap Compaq, it sucks. I bought a refurb w windows 7 in it I kind of like it weighs a ton, built like a brick and was dirt cheap.

I do a TON of computer work for a lot of people (constantly fixing/tweaking computers for friends and family) and I can say two things:
HP computers suck, and have for about 10-15 years (and don't ever buy any pc with an AMD processor). Lenovos and Acers are probably the best buys right now dollar for dollar, and Windows 10 is actually far better than Windows 7 on the back end (I too love Windows 7 - that's where they finally got the front end, the GUI, right). But prior to Windows 8 I would spend ~3-4 hours tweaking all of the things that Windows enabled that didn't really need to be, uninstalling programs and disabling Windows Services that no one really needs. I did this with every new computer. Windows 8 & 10 by default have all of those things turned off. After about 20 years of tweaking Windows OS' with new computers, I no longer need to. They've removed all of the unneeded coding that only slows things down.
Windows 10 does have it's faults on the front end. The apps and Cortana for example. And I'd still love to see an All Programs on the start menu. Why MS expects people to type in the names of the programs in order to find them is beyond me (if you haven't created a desktop shortcut that is). But as far as the underlying coding, Windows 10 is a race car compared to pre-8 versions. And that means faster and less problems (not a single BSOD or forced shut down since I started using Windows 8).
- I picked up a couple Windows 8 Dell laptops at a Walmart a couple years ago for the kids for a couple hundred bucks each, and they're probably the least trouble free laptops I ever owned surprisingly. They're not going to run high frame rates on 3D grpahic games, but they get the job done fine.

SWHC filling a downside gap left from 02/12. Could be a swing long from here ~22.80 with a tight stop. SWHC now use hard stop if <23.35 SWHC play stopped out for pennies (~2.3% gain). But no sense in sitting with things that can't keep up with the market. It would need >23.72 to prove bullish again.

One more example of this all being only a squeeze. See how BZH is trying to hang in above the shoulder test line of its H&S? (red lines) Squeezy-bullish so long as it holds above it (could still get above the head) If anyone played BZH long for the squeeze, use a stop now of LOD (if <8.87)

I hope you got this message BM. Next support ~1.93.Scratch that one. If it loses 2.04 it could fall back to 1.50's - if still long I'd definitely recommend using a hard stop now. It could still see 2.20's or even higher, but I'd be moving that stop up along with it. JMHO If short MNKD from ~2.20's, use a stop now if rises >1.45 Move that short stop down to if >1.38 for MNKD

How is it that when I need to correct the orientation of a photo when first downloading it from the camera Windows 10 will allow me to do that, but when I copy that same corrected photo into a hotmail post it will be in the original WRONG orientation and there's no way to correct it? Any advice on this matter Huh?

Beats the hell outa me - whatever program Windows 10 uses I guess. I'll need to take a picture and go thru the process and describe it exactly for you later. Meanwhile I probably need to load TurboTax and get on with it Grrrrrrrrrrr. Thx.

Use File Explorer (or My Computer) and navigate to the folder containing the pictures. Insure you can see the thumbnails (if not, adjust from "View" in top ribbon) and check to see if the pics are oriented correctly there. If not, double-click the pic, reorient, and then close the picture (it'll save automatically)

This market is being relentless in its whipsaw action. Maybe that means the OPEX whipsaw is happening this week to make room for a big move next week.

GDX's chart is starting to look like crop circles. I do think this complex H&S will [eventually] get a quick squeeze for a slightly higher high. Yep, crop circles. GDX trading in that last blue circle already in pre-market. That confirms it, extra-terrestrial aliens are in control. Gold, aliens, conspiracies. Sounds like a sci-fi story I'm writing. lol Not surprisingly, gold's chart showing the same pattern - a complex H&S. I do hope that, like so many other H&S' out there, both of these will squeeze for a higher high before completing. And GDX right back to those highs for a head test now. Who'd have thunk it?

Could be a very good short set-up in LL here against resistance ~15.15, currently 14.63, long term downside target ~5.65 Move short stop in LL down to if >14.05

EXTREMELY frustrating (but at least I haven't started the taxes yet).

EXTREMELY frustrating (but at least I haven't started the taxes yet). That stinks. Common problem with importing them from a different orientation though. Do this... Right click one of the pictures that you are having this problem with and "Open With" the Paint program. If it's sideways there, rotate it then close and save. If this was the case, then unfortunately you may have to do this with each before uploading. If a lot, or all, of the pictures are this way, you can rotate them in bulk using a 3rd party software. With a quick search I found this free program (but I've never used it): savolai.net/software/JPEG-EXIF_autorotateIf you go the 3rd party route, I would suggest turning off the "automatically rotate pictures" when you import them. This way it'll be easier to see which need to be rotated when you go to rotate them in bulk.
