Redhat looks exciting

Posted by hank, Mon Oct 08 12:54:00 UTC 2007

It looks like Redhat is about to rally

Stock up if it goes past $21! It could really zoom. The support is built up long term. I signed up for an options account with Scottrade today. It will allow me to:

Buy puts and calls to open
Write covered calls

It’s too bad they don’t offer naked put writing and selling to close. I would have liked to play the game of just trading pure options without ever exercising them.

Citibank Greasemonkey Plugin for Firefox/Linux

Posted by hank, Thu Sep 06 18:38:00 UTC 2007

So Citibank is lame - they don’t think that Firefox in Linux is a supported browser, but seem to believe that it is under Windows and OSX. Well, good thing we have Greasemonkey around.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Citibank Continue
// @namespace      http://www.ralree.info
// @description    Makes the Citibank browser warning page go away
// @include        https://web.da-us.citibank.com/cgi-bin/citifi/portal/l/l.do
// ==/UserScript==
document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].click;

Get it here. As you can see above, it does nothing dangerous. Just clicks the damn button for you so you never have to see the unsupported browser screen again.
