Hi tipswatcher

The Intel's Core M processor and Single USB-C port are my main concerns too.

I use a Macbook Air and it is satisfactory in terms of power.
I use it for coding, surfing, watching tv shows.

I guess you will have to test the new MacBook to make sure the processor can handle the tasks you want to perform on it.

Both the single Intel's Core M processor and USB-C port are the results of aiming at a very thin design.

Kind regards,

Re: Back-testing Portfolio - Need Help

Hi Mian,

You could backtest the ETF's using a tool like http://etfreplay.com/combine.aspx
You can do this for free for a few securities.

Re: Treasury Direct site issues

Hi Beanie

Maybe the site wasn't down, but you might have been unable to reach it.
This can occur when your internet service provider has a routing problem, making it impossible for you to reach their site.
In order for you to reach a website, the communication travels a couple of routers on the internet to the ip address of the webserver of the website.
If their is a problem on a hop, and there is no alternative route towards the destination, you can experience this type of problem.
Other sites can be reachable at this moment, just try to see it as a certain part of the internet which is not reachable at a given time due to a technical problem.

Kind regards,
