The True Way to Fly Aloha

Fri, 21 Jul 2000 22:34:19 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - When I’m traveling between Honolulu and Los Angeles, I like to hear the words “mahalo” (which means “thank you” in Hawaiian) and “aloha” (which is a Hawaiian greeting similar to “hello,” but with many other meanings). That is one of the reasons why I...

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 21:05:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - At first glance, let me tell you what I like about this site. Breaking news. The site has a list of the latest, breaking IPO news that is as current as I can imagine (realtime?) I had just been on the E*Offering website, and the first thing I remember...

EOFFERING: How a Great Idea Became An EFarce

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 20:40:22 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are a tricky business. You have so much volatility to take into consideration, that it is almost essential to purchasing the shares of stock at the price you want. So after completing the first review in this series, on...

Tue, 11 Jul 2000 20:28:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - If either OpenIPO or WR Hambrecht & Co. sounds familiar, there is probably a good reason. The founder of WR Hambrecht is Bill Hambrecht, of Hambrecht & Quist (H&Q) fame. H&Q has had a long tradition in the investment banking industry,...

Fri, 7 Jul 2000 09:01:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - To an active trader, it is essential to constantly follow the market, trends in the market, as well as trends in the stocks (that you have positions in). Dynamic Daytrader fills all those needs, primarily by eliminating the need for you to go out and do...

Thu, 6 Jul 2000 08:41:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - Trading stocks is a good way to get involved in the financial markets and learn about how the markets work, and it is probably the easiest to understand as well. More often than not, however, the average investor may encounter two distinct problems...

Free! Free! Free!

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 09:08:28 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - First thing that pops out at you… FREE, FREE, FREE! I could be as bold as to say that the creators of this site did not intend it to be this way, but who am I kidding? This site is a trap, which sucks you in with its temptingly free offers, but then...

Yahoo Finance: Quote Me!

Sun, 2 Jul 2000 08:10:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - When investing in the stock market, my opinion is that long-term investing is best. However, even in my long-term approach (but even more so for short and medium-term investors), I still need to determine the best price points to buy into a given stock...

MTV: The New Season

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 06:08:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - Why MTV? Although there are several channels that I like watching, MTV has been the top choice while I've been here over the summer. ESPN and the other local channels have taken a distant second. In college, I would constantly watch MTV and BET...

Active Traders Network: Trading Little More Than an Education

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 22:57:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I explored the Active Traders Network (ATN) website, and found very little to pique my interest. When you get down to the nitty-gritty, the website is merely a place for ATN to sign people up for their online newsletter. By adding a whole bunch of...

Quicken TurboTax State: Want to Maximize Your State Tax Refund Check?

Tue, 27 Jun 2000 16:47:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - Turbo Tax State is the best but it can only be used with Turbo Tax Federal (Regular, Deluxe, or Home and Business). All you have to do is do the Turbo Tax Federal, then basically plug-n-play (pardon my analogy). In other words, you do your federal...

TradingIn.com: TradingIn is not an option

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 23:55:49 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I visited tradingin.com, hoping to find a plethora of information that could benefit my stock trading / day-trading abilities greatly. I was sadly mistaken. Although the domain name made it sound professional and attractive to me, I soon realized it to...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 21:36:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I finally watched Varsity Blues today, on DVD, because I missed it while it was playing in the theaters. It was well worth my time. Let me tell you why, without revealing any of the plot.

This movie starts off in the small town of West...

The easiest way to build your credit

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 18:52:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I first heard about the MBNA Credit Card 4 years ago because they were signing people up at a booth on campus at USC (University of Southern California), so I signed up for my first credit card. That was one of the best decisions I made, because I...

The Fly on the Wall: A Must-Have for Serious Investors, but it'll cost you

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 16:40:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I used theflyonthewall.com, and I was disappointed, at first. The first thing I noticed when I entered the site was that the site looked like it had been pieced together. No “professional” graphics, no advanced HTML or JavaScript, it did not look...

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 20:52:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I purchased Quickbooks Pro 2000 for my company last December in anticipation of the Y2K (non-)crisis, we in fact upgraded from our version of Quickbooks Pro 5.0. In essence, we had bypassed the upgrades in between (both 6.0 and 99), because the old...

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 07:49:04 GMT

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 05:23:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - Background

I went to the Golden Nugget Hotel in late May, shortly after I graduated from college. My Las Vegas trip was with my girlfriend, and all of her family. Let me say first off that I did not stay at this hotel from the onset,...

Photoshop: the Name in Graphics Editing

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 22:13:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I design websites for a living, and as a hobby. One of the keys to designing good websites is to have eye-catching graphics. My main tool for editing and designing graphics is Adobe Photoshop 5.5. I've used Photoshop 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and now 5.5...

Honolulu: the hidden beauty within a city

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 17:23:56 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - First of all, let me start out by saying that I've lived in Hawaii for 18 years before moving off the island (for school). Although I am back on vacation right now in Hawaii, I consider my home to be in Los Angeles, rather than Hawaii. That being said,...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - The first and only time I have been to the Staples Center was to go see the Lakers-Rockets basketball game.

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 07:32:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I did not purchase this game, but it was given to me as a Christmas gift. If I was not given this game, I would definitely have bought it in the months after. I had spent a few months watching my friends play Half-Life Team Fortress Classic (TFC) on...

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 07:09:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - First of all, I would like to say that I don't really care too much for my AT&T Wireless Service. I did not choose AT&T Wireless, but I inherited them instead. About two years ago, I signed up with LA Cellular in a small cart over in Westside...

1998 Acura Integra Sedan: Acura Integra GS: Fast, smooth ride

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 06:33:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author IntegraRacer - I bought a 1998 Acura Integra GS Sedan in May of 1998, and it was my first car ever. I wanted a fast car that looked nice, and especially since I hang out with the Asian crowd, the Integra is held in high regard.
