Da Bulls; I bought a kinda broke monitor off ebay.

First up, here's how the chart of SPX looked this morning..

the bulls are firmly in control.

I entered right away going UP..

I also added my stop order at 3X.. that is, at 3 times the credit I received.

now, while that cooks, let me show u the monitor I got.. I think it was quite the deal.. I paid $39 + free shipping.

24" Viewsonic LCD IPS HDMI
ps. There's also no stand, so I'm using an old laptop to hold it up.

I needed a monitor that had a HDMI input since my little baby PC only uses those, and a few USB ports also.. :(

I'm not gonna lie.. at first I was dismayed.. after unwrapping it, the thing won't even power on. I 'gently' wiggled and pressed inward on the AC plug where it connects in the back of the monitor and rejoice! the lights came on. I fond that it only needed a slight upward force on the AC input, so the metal would make contact with the power connection inside of the monitor. So, how could I make it work? keep this pressure constantly on, but without me having to hold it there with my hand? I looked to the #1 best fix all thing I know of..

Duct tape to the rescue!! (this is actually Gorilla tape)

Even with the tape on, the monitor would turn off after a few minutes.. the metal input would get loose.. so, i put a rubber band to hold and keep constant pressure UP on the input, as well as the duct tape. So far, so good. It seems to be holding? Does anyone know of some metal tape or maybe a conductive spray that could help me make a better connection? in case my rubber band+duct tape fails eventually?

Thanks for reading, I'll put the result of my trade below in 50 minutes when the market ends.

Chicken Dinner! :)
