JCBless, I am surprised you did not list your many watchings of "Wallstreet" as part of your trading resume. As for some SOES Bandit ideology, I do not know about that. What I do know is that we here at kershner Trading have only one belief. The immortal teachings and judgement...

I assume taht everyone that posts to this site is a trader, so it boggles the mind that anyone in their riursght mind would want the market action dilted over another 16 hours. I say let's have 2 sessions: 8:30 ET until noon and then reopen at 2pm et for two more hours

I would not even think of dabbling in some sort of odd lot scheme. I know for a fact that the NYSE is all over a couple of firms like white on rice. Ain't that right Tickerwatcher?

Dude, Hmap1 is quoting the NYSE specs....Open Book quotes are up to 10 seconds old.
