Screenshots of an old, old program I wrote

Finally got this stuff documented so that I can stop trying to describe it to people verbally:

The program still runs today in a command prompt window, but to get the screenshots I took actual photographs of my screen :lol:

OOOhhhh... so you play the stock market !!! I've never had enough cash together to tie up into it, then again, never had someone sit down and explain how/what/where and why to be able to do that stuff in plain english, laymens terms so it's pretty much greek to me. I look at the companies that are doing well, and if most are, gives me a good idea where the general economy is going, that's pretty much as far as I get into it, that, and knowing commodities are risky and someone mentioned getting a Roth IRA since it's spreading out the risk better then the rest is pretty much everything I know about it.

To me, at least with the friends I've had that were given stock, some did pretty well, others lost it all, my buddy lost 30k worth his parents gave to him, when his stock started going down consistantly, I told him to pull "I know, blind leading the blind" and he refused, seing that kind of loss over theory really makes me wonder, but seeing others buy Microsoft stock now millioinairs, really wish I'd have not only a clear understanding about how it works, I'd want a foolproof system that gives a return above and beyond only a small fraction requiring many years to sit on it when comparing the return percential compared with inflation and what can be done with the capitol directly properly invested within a tangable, hands on type of return ie. reinvesting in ones own business that you have control over rather then hoping the business you invested with makes the proper decisions and adjusts with the economy and trends.

A thread about "How to invest in the stock market for complete idiots" would be great, especially if you explain the terminology, abbrieviations and detail the lingo, "again more explanations" and give a simple guide as to doing it yourself maximizing your time and efforts while making an educated investment in the first place and actually know what you are doing so even us noobs to it all would feel more confident in dealing with it.

I can't comment on the piece of software, I have nothing to compare with it, and as stated above, don't understand the stock system that would require having it in the first place.

Outside of FMS, the only other game I play is life, I bought MOHAA allied assault twice, both times because I don't take good care of my CD's, but the game just rocks dynamically wise in spite of the lack of perfect graphics, online and off, it's a good one/series to have if you are into computer gaming. I'm not onto the roll playing games, just not my cup of tea at all and prefer direct action rather then planning and strategy, then again, I was playing Galaga in HS since it was considered cutting edge video game wise, so guess it's my generational thought pattern vid game wise.

Dude, I freaking love MOHAA, I play as SMGManiac. I play with a Thompson with an M4A1 skin with a custom shot sound that i edited into the pak file, and my favorite levels is Omaha Beach and Stalingrad. THe best part about it is, you can have a Radeon 7000 and jack the graphics all the way up and it will still perform great :lol:

No, I don't play the stock market, my dad did -- wrote it for him.

I'm pretty sure my career is going to have to do with engineering but if it didn't I would love to go into the stock market, it's all about the money and people smarts.
