    ECN Rebates

    very intriguing....i would like to present a real world example for feedback--- for starters, does anyone have the most recent data on ISLD rebates for "adding" liquidity & taking away liquidity. It seems that it changes often. Lets assume that your commission rate is .005 per share for this...

    Favorite movie qoutes that apply to trading

    First of all HEAT is the greatest action/drama movie ever made. The characters and supports in that movie are sick. Deniro plays the part so well. everything is legit in that movie. All of the moves, panthomines from the LAPD homicide unit to Neil's crew, the music also has that vintage Miami...

    Options - Please Help !!!

    for domestic markets, opinions will vary I am sure..but if your talking about very tight spreads, only a nickel and the ability to dump size on the bid or pick up size by taking the ask, without scaring everyone away and playing chase - you would be hard pressed to find something better than the...

    Highest level of education?

    i think there are two very important classifications of credentials --- since trading is purely a matter of quantifiable results, one of these classes does not matter --- that being how many letters you have next to your name or where they came from. who would you rather take advice from or...

    adding liquidity??

    what i would like to know is how effective traders balance the act of getting this liquidity rebate as a primary goal vs. avoiding losing trades... from the previous comment in the thread...say your entering a new position...you come in on the best bid and get hit...great you have added...

    DNA fully valued here?

    this gap was a painful one to watch...looks like its filled it pretty well and now making a run at a 2 year high...the fundamental reasons why this runup has occurred are pretty outstanding..this new drug approval will have a gigantic impact on earnings and future growth and market share...i...

    Yet another multimonitor question

    you will be limited to only 4 if you put in single card heads into each slot....buying dual heads or more is a tricky business....this has come up b4....best bet is to go Matrox...if not, make sure if you go with a PCI dual head you get a dual VGA analog card...dont get the split one where one...

    Puts

    if JNPR closed @ $13 at expiration...yes the value of your contracts woudl be $2.00 but you would still lose .20 because you paid $2.20 for premium....your break even is $12.80...anything less is profit

    Puts

    this is so very painfully true...i remember like yesterday...a so called guru's top pick of the 1st quarter was to short EXPE in the low $40's....keep in mind this was back in early winter/Februaryish 2002. If you look back in hindsight, this would have been acutally the best point of long...

    Puts

    i was going to point that out. take a looks at USAI' s chart. It has been under heavy heavy accumulation and recently broke out in the mid $30ish range. There were even several days where USAI would buck the trend of a down Nasdaq day. For some reason, the street loves USAI's 3 recent buyouts of...

    Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

    yes...but did they file chapter 7 or 13.....the Nolo law stated Chapter 13 is not permitted by stockbrokers.......there is a huge difference with some major implications depending on the situation and how much unsecured debt is involved.......eventhough the 7 wipes everything out, there could be...
