Dreamcast Mod
Please do not send NCS any e-mail concerning the DC mod. We will
answer the most common questions on this website in due time, as well as clear up
misconceptions that have been conjured out of thin air. Yes, the DC is territory locked
from playing GD-Roms from other territories and yes, there is a way to defeat this
territory lock-out. Please understand that NCS receives hundreds of e-mail queries on any
regular day. This amount has doubled since the DC mod affair has circulated and has
hampered our ability to respond to other e-mail. Thank you for your understanding of our
position on this matter. |

Capital
The bull scenario died momentarily yesterday but it was amusing to see
many market pundits and think tanks immediately flip bearish based on a one-day plunge.
Shows that there is a lot of nervous money out there that is ready to bolt at any sign of
profit taking. The Nasdaq plowed through technical support which usually portends more
selling but the markets appear to be stable this morning. A couple of months ago, the same
thing happened amidst a massive bull run, a one day avalanche of a couple of percentage
points that dumped gloom and doom on the Street but the market rallied impressively after
that. The real big drop came a few weeks later in that earlier occurence. It will be
interesting to see if this scenario replays itself and we'll do a Fibonacci count later
today. We're long but hedged with key short positions that will allow us to exit
gracefully if this thing decides to break down again. We don't think it will but as
mentioned before, nervous money begets selling and more selling. We re-instated the AOL
earnings play yesterday but could have gotten a better price if we had waited until the
end of the day. |
